Freedom Rallies against leftist misrule break out in... wait for it...

Seems it's not only in Canuckistan that people are fed up with leftist governments that promise the sun, moon and stars but deliver only inflation, shortages, homelessness and ever-increasing government control of every aspect of the lives of struggling citizens. 

Walt's focus today shifts to the island state of Sri Lanka. Thanks to a decades-old religious connection, I have several friends (and two agents) there, from whom I'm getting disturbing reports of protests over the nation's severe economic crisis.

Just like Canada's "leader" Just In Trudeau did, when confronted by the truckers' Freedom Convoy, Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa recently declared a state of emergency as angry citizens demand that something be done about rising prices, shortages of essentials and rolling power cuts. 

When mostly peaceful protests turned violent, the government implemented a countrywide curfew, and placed a block on social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp. (Does any of this sound familiar to readers in Canada? It should!)  The chairthingy of the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission said the measure was carried out on instruction from the Defence Ministry and aimed to "maintain calm" (read: silence dissent).


In the central city of Kandy (home to the Temple of the Tooth), police used tear gas to disperse university students and other young protesters, including our Agent 35. Inspector Buruva of the local constabulary said about 750 people were gassed, but none were arrested. So that's all right, then.

In Colombo, the capital city, around two dozen opposition leaders protested at police barricades near Independence Square, some shouting "Gota(baya) go home!" They say the roots of the crisis, the worst in several decades, lie in economic mismanagement by successive governments that amassed huge budget shortfalls and a current account deficit. Notice the sign that reads "How much debt are we really in?" That would be a good (if rather polite) question for President Brandon!

The crisis was accelerated by deep tax cuts President Rajapaksa promised during the 2019 election campaign, which were enacted months before the Covid pandemic, which wiped out parts of Sri Lanka’s economy. 

Opposition leader Eran Wickramaratne called the curfew and other restrictions "unacceptable" Others stood in small groups outside their homes or gathered in the street, some holding handwritten anti-government banners or waving the national flag.

A student at the University of Colombo told Reuters, "This government, we do not want them anymore. They have had years and years to show us that they could do change but there is nothing. The situation has just gotten worse by the day. We really need a change, we are stripped of our basic rights...people are fed up!"

How much longer can the anger of fed-up citizens of the AABC countries (America, Australia, Britain and Canada) be contained? How high does the price of gas have to go... how much do taxes have to be increased to pay for the "reparations" and the redistribution of wealth... how bad do things have to get before the sheeple of the Anglosphere do likewise?

KBJ makes history! First non-biologist named to SCOTUS!


OK, I admit to "adapting" the headline from the one created by the very talented writers at the Babylon Bee. Their excellent post continues: The U.S. Senate has voted to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the highest court in the land, making her the first Supreme Court Justice to be confirmed without a degree in biology. 

"No, Ketanji Brown Jackson has no idea what a woman is, but that's understandable as she's not a biologist," said Romney. "I think she'll be fine, as the 8 biologists currently on the court will be able to get her up to speed. The important thing here is that she's black. And a woman." 

Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) was one of three RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) who voted to confirm the most important diversity hire since Kamela Harris. 


To Mitt's left is Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and to his farther left (geddit?) is Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). File this picture in your memory for reference when you next get to vote. They supported a judicial activist who think the United States Constitution is either mutable or does not apply in all cases.

The silver lining in the dark cloud (geddit?) is that the other cisgender "woman" of colour (albeit a lighter shade) whose name was mooted for the position on the highest court in the land*, Kamela Harris, remains in her position, which (they say) is Vice-President to Dementia Joe Brandon.


That's OK though. America has been advanced by feckless Democratic men towards the goal of being fully feminized, diversified, inclusified... and totally emasculated.

* Footnote: The Supreme Court of the United States is not, in fact, the highest court in America. Its elevation above sea level is only 95 feet. You can look it up.

Canucks wait in fear for this woman to speak

From somewhere north of the World's Longest Undefended Border (TM), Poor Len Canayen reminds us that, for our beloved Montréal Canadiens, the NHL hockey season is nearing an end. Next game is tonight when the Habs visit the Devils of (ugh) New Jersey. Game time is 7:00 EDT, on RDS. 

Three hours earlier, it's federal budget day in Canada. The Hon. Chrystia Freeland, Deputy to Prime Minister Blackie McBlackface, Minister of Finance and Printing More Money, and Diplomat of the Year 2018 (you could look it up), will tell the Canadian sheeple how much more they will have to pay for the socialist utopia in which they live.

No-one is looking forward to Ms Freeland's budget speech. But, Walt reminds our many Canadian readers, things could be worse.


The fragrant and lovely Ms Freeland could become prime minister, if Mr Socks decides not to risk leading his Gliberals into a fourth election, and hands her the poisoned chalice, as Lyin' Brian Mulroney did to Avril Phaedra Douglas "Kim" Campbell in 1993. It could happen! Lifetime pct .982.

Multicult fails, France heading for civil war, sez former intelligence chief

"All my accumulated experiences make me foresee a dark, and even very dark, future for our children and grandchildren." That's what Pierre Brochand, the former director of DGSE, France’s top intelligence agency, told Le Figaro in an interview published on March 24th.

The interview is in French (of course) and is behind a paywall, so we're quoting from a translation posted on Remix News, a trustworthy site for European news. Their summary is headed: France's former intelligence chief warns against possible civil war due to mass immigration.

The stone truth which the people of western Europe and North America recognized -- but which their woke liberal leaders won't acknowledge -- is that the mass immigration of unassimilable racial and religious minorities is destroying our societies and our countries. As M Brochand puts it,  "All 'multicultural' societies are doomed to more or less deep rifts. In such a situation, it happens that minorities are violent winners, and majorities placid losers."


According to the former DGSE head, there is so much talk about immigration in France today because it is "increasingly difficult to prevent the French from seeing what they see" -- scenes of urban guerrilla warfare, fights between police officers trying to enforce the law and violent multi-recidivist criminals that were the initial cause of riots, shootings, and arson, as well as ambushes set up against the police squads called in as reinforcements.

M Brochand goes on to say that "a breakthrough personality has suddenly appeared in the formulaic world of politics that has encouraged them to open their eyes." He is referring to Éric Zemmour, who has succeeded in placing immigration at the heart of the current campaign for the presidency of the French Republic. Polls show an overwhelming majority opposed to immigration.


Although M Zemmour has succeeded in fixing voters' focus on the immigration issue, the more moderate Marine Le Pen, leader of the Front National, looks like the choice of conservative voters in the election to be held later this month. An Ipsos Sopra Steria Cevipof poll for Le Monde showed the small-but-perfectly-formed incumbent, Emmanuel Macron, would lead in the first round of votes on April 10th, with 26.5% versus 21.5% for Mme Le Pen. In the April 24th run-off, the pollsters say M Macron would beat Mme Le Pen by 54% to 46%. QED.

The Remix News article notes that Éric Zemmour is drawing the biggest crowds to his election rallies, and breaking audience records during his television appearances? Ironically, it may be M Zemmou's "unacceptable views" which make Mme Le Pen look like a moderate by contrast, although they both advocate the same solution for which M Brochand argues. "If we really want to regain control over our demography, we have no other choice than to make a 180-degree turnaround, that is to say, to send the message, loud and clear, that France will no longer be, for the foreseeable future, a welcoming country. This implies a global approach to the problem and unabated resolve in its implementation."

M Brochand goes so far as to warn that if Emmanuel Macron is re-elected and France does not radically change its policy, a civil war is on the horizon. "I hold the type of immigration, which we have been experiencing for half a century, to be an event 'out of category', without precedent in our history. And, quite honestly, I confess that I do not understand how free and enlightened minds can still underestimate its seriousness."

In order to see the seriousness of it, he explains, "one just needs to enumerate coldly its characteristics" and look at "the impact of what is happening to us." He points to the massive immigration flows, the type of immigration, with mostly migrant settlers, the "absence of political and economic regulation," the fact immigrants are mostly Muslims from outside Europe, their "spirit of post-colonial revenge," their "reluctance to mix" with the French, their "preference for endogamy," their "crystallization in diasporas," their fertility rate (higher than that of the French), and above all their "non-convergent evolution over generations," i.e. the fact that younger generations born of immigrants are "even less integrated with French society than their parents." 

For the former head of French intelligence, "this gradual upheaval of the French population, if not the only challenge we face, is the only one that directly threatens civil peace on our territory."

Le Figaro asked M Brochand if it's already too late to avert the destruction of French society. He answered, "It is very late. Let us face it: We are no longer dealing with dispersed individuals, that is to say, so many 'special cases', but with diasporas -- entities formed by immigrants and their descendants...who are grouped together and whose numbers reach a critical mass sufficient for social pressure to encourage the perpetuation of the beliefs and ways of life of the countries of origin, with which relations remain tense. This way, more or less closed foreign enclaves are spontaneously formed that turn their backs on the host country and its customs."

Sadly, M Brochand is very pessimistic about his country's future: "While I refuse to give up hope, I do not have too much illusion either about the possibility of the authorities regaining control over immigration flows. When we see that the program of the incumbent president, who is running for his re-election, continues to superbly ignore the subject, one cannot but reflect on how much history can be inescapable and irreversible, even when it leads us straight to the greatest misfortunes. 

"All my accumulated experiences make me foresee a dark, and even very dark, future for our children and grandchildren. At best, they are heading toward an unsuspected collapse of their quality of life (an implosion); at worst, we are leading them to terrible confrontations (an explosion)....

VIDEO: The story of the Super Guppy

Our dear sponsor has been doing a brisk business selling vintage airliner postcards, highly collectible items for people with an abiding interest in aviation. (Hello, Agent 17!) He just sold a nice card showing the Aero Spacelines B377SG Super Guppy, N1038V.
Ed. [who shares the same interest. Ed.] found this video, "The Aero Spacelines Pregnant Guppy". The introduction to the video says: As the US honed in on what it hoped would be its notable first in manned space exploration, a problem arose that required a unique solution. Surprisingly, the answer to this problem of cutting edge technology turned out to be an obsolete piece of equipment that came as the result of the vision of a daring private entrepreneur, with the help of a few two-by-fours

   

Hope you enjoyed that. It's a nice change from politics and religion. But don't worry. We'll come back down to the ground later today.

VIDEO: Hungarians overwhelmingly reject LGBT gender ideology

Further to "A victory for Christian democratic, conservative, patriotic politics", Walt is grateful to "CookeV" for posting this comment in the Globe & Mail report on the referendum which was included in this weekend's Hungarian election.

Along with the election, a referendum was held on four LGBT questions. There was a 50% voter-turnout threshold needed for the results to be valid, which was not met with the percentage sitting at about 44% as I write this. Nevertheless, of those 44% valid votes, here are the results: 

Do you support the holding of a sexual orientation session for minor children in a public educational institution without the consent of the parent? Yes: 7.66%, No: 92.34% 
Do you support promoting gender reassignment treatments for underage children? Yes: 4.11%, No: 95.89% 
Do you support the introduction of sexual media content to minor children that affects their development without restrictions? Yes: 4.68%, No: 95.32% 
Do you support showing media to minors showing gender change? Yes: 4.83%, No: 95.17% 

What's interesting was the spoilage rate at about 20%. Leading up to the referendum, LGBT activists had encouraged voters to spoil their ballots to prevent the 50% turnout threshold from being met. Which looks like is what occurred.

And yes, Ed. found a very appropriate video: "Jordan Peterson debunks leftist gender ideology in 8 minutes". Here it is.


What's the matter with Americans and Canadians that they can't see through this liberal "woke" plot to emasculate men and destoy what's left of our Christian civilization?!

A victory for Christian democratic, conservative, patriotic politics

The Europe editor for the BBC, Katya Adler, reporting on this weekend's election in Hungary, said "You could almost hear the collective thud of EU hearts sinking last night," as pro-life and pro-family Prime Minister Viktor Orbán -- seen here with Marine Le Pen, leader of France's National Rally -- has won a resounding victory in his quest for a fourth term as the nation's leader.


Giving the lie to (((controlled media))) polls predicting his defeat Mr Orbán's conservative Fidesz-KDNP party won in a walk, defeating a six-party "progressive" coalition to take a supermajority in Hungary's parliament, taking 135 of the 199 available seats.

Addressing a cheering crowd last night, Prime Minister Orbán said that they had "won a great victory -- a victory so great you can see it from the moon and certainly from Brussels" [the capital of the European Union]. "The entire world can see," he added, "that our brand of Christian democratic, conservative, patriotic politics has won. We are sending Europe a message that this is not the past. This is the future, our common European future."

That message may not sit so well with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the former actor and comedian who starred in the TV series Servant of the People, in which he played the role of the Ukrainian president. The series aired from 2015 to 2019 and was immensely popular. A political party bearing the same name as the television show was created in March 2018, and mere months later fiction became reality as Mr Zelenskyy became president of Ukraine.

Volodymy Zelenskyy is the darling of the Western media these days, the hero of the resistance, the David who will defeat Goliath Putin, yada yada yada. In recent videos such as "Putin's War: Biden, Soros and the Ghost of John McCain", our old friend Michael Matt warns us that Mr Zelenskyy is firmly in the camp of the European liberals, sponsored by and beholden to George Soros, the WTF and the same globalist elites that control North America and Western Europe.

As Mr Matt says in the linked video, "It's easy to repeat after the talking heads on TV: 'I stand with Ukraine,' or 'Putin’s an evil madman!' But how does this help the suffering Ukrainians on the ground? And how is it beneficial to Americans, now that powerful voices in Washington are beating the drums of war in Europe?"

Mr Matt asks, "What led up to this crisis? Who stands to gain from war in Ukraine? And why is this dominated by the ghost of John McCain? George Soros brags how he'd set up a foundation in Ukraine to 'reimagine and rebuild' the country.... Think the Crisis in Ukraine started three weeks ago? Think again! Joe Biden, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Amy Klobuchar, Hunter Biden…what were they doing over there, and don’t we have the right to know what’s going on before we start sending our kids off to fight another war in Europe?"

In the run-up to the Hungarian election, the lickspittle media (including the BBC and AP) kept repeating the liberal party line about Viktor Orbán being a "longtime ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin" and "famed for his warm relations with Vladimir Putin." Mr Orbán, however, has always insisted that his dealings with the Kremlin have strictly practical bases, such as keeping gas prices down and the maintenance and expansion of nuclear energy production. 

Hungary has been the only EU member-state bordering Ukraine which has refused to allow weapons shipments to cross into the embattled country through its territory. But it has been generous with other forms of aid, including support for the many thousands of Ukrainian refugees who have entered the country.

I conclude with a reminder that Our Lady of Fatima warned that if Russia was not consecrated to Her Immaculate Heart, the "errors of Russia" would spread throughout the world causing the downfall of Western civilization and "the annihilation of nations". 

What did the Blessed Virgin mean by "the errors of Russia"? Certainly she meant godless Communism, and the insane secular humanism -- the denial of not just God's law but natural law -- which pervades Western society today. 

It is Vladimir Putin, not Volodymyr Zelensky, who is standing up to the Soros-led one-worlders. I support and pray for the Ukrainian people, who are fighting to preserve their country's independence. But I reject the notion that we should go to war for gay rights and the rest of the "progressive" prescription for a New World Order!
