Your Singhs today (US-Canada border edition)

Today's Singh-along features another chapter of the all-too-familiar tale of Sikhs... well, just one, this time... involved in smuggling drugs across the World's Longest Undefended Border (TM). 

The Canadian Border Services Agency (the equivalent of the US CBP) officers are hooking their thumbs under their suspenders today for having derailed a whopping $42 million beaverbucks worth of cocaine flooding into Canuckistan in two separate busts in August.

The seizures occurred one day apart at the Blue Water Bridge port of entry in Point Edward, near Sarnia, in early August. On the 13th of August, a commercial truck belonging to Diversity Truck Lines* [Ed., please check this] arriving from the US of A was referred for a secondary examination. 

During the trailer inspection, CBSA officers discovered suspected cocaine hidden in six boxes. The total weight of the narcotics was 150 kilos, with an estimated street value of $18.8 million ($13.6 million in real money). Gurjeet Singh, 28, of... wait for it... Brampton ON, was arrested and transferred along with the narcotics to the custody of the RCMP. 

The next day, border officers referred another tractor-trailer entering from the US for a secondary examination. Officers found 199 kilos of suspected cocaine in the trailer of the commercial load, with an estimated value of $24.9 million. Abdikadir Egal, 38, of Etobicoke, was transferred along with the drugs to the RCMP. To judge by his name, Mr Egal is not a Sikh, but a Somali -- a "refugee", no doubt. recruited by the usual suspects from the Singh School of Truck Driving.

Both men have been charged by the Mounties with importation of cocaine and possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking under the controlled drugs and substances act. The investigations are ongoing, as they say.

Canuckistan's Minister of Public Safety, Gary Anandasangaree (no relation) was quick to issue a statement which he hopes will be read by President Trump, as follows: "These recent seizures of illegal narcotics underscore the vital partnership between the CBSA and the RCMP in protecting Canada’s borders. I have visited the Blue Water Bridge and seen up close the unwavering commitment and diligence from the CBSA and RCMP, and their respective leadership in stopping the entry of illegal substances and goods into Canada. Their work makes all of us safer."

Walt says, hold your applause. There's lots more drugs and smugglers of which we'll Singh in due course.

* Thanks to BCF for identifying the trucking company. and to DM, a commenter on BCF, for the info on Mr Egal's nationality. Most Somalis are Muslim, by the way. How's that for the diversity that makes Canada what it is.

VIDEO: "Allahu akbar!" in Marseille

We have an interesting example today of the cognitive dissonance between what we see with our eyes and what the mainstream media -- woke or (as we used to say) politically correct that they are -- tell us. First let's see the video.

Now here's the story, as reported by virtually all the major Western media.

A man who went on a stabbing rampage in the southern French city of Marseille injured at least five people before he was shot dead by police, authorities said. 

Local prosecutor Nicolas Bessone said that the attack was carried out on Tuesday afternoon by a Tunisian national with legal residency status. Bessone said that the suspect had been expelled from his hotel for not paying his rent. He returned armed with two knives and a baton, first attacking someone in the room he had previously occupied. He then attacked the hotel manager before turning on the manager’s son and stabbing him in the back. 

One of the victims stabbed at the hotel was in a critical condition and the other two were also seriously wounded. Customers chased him away from the restaurant on Cours Belsunce, a few minutes' walk from the Old Port. Police then arrived at the scene where they opened fire with a taser and guns. 

The prosecutor added that the man, who he described as a Tunisian national who was legally resident in France but known to police, continued his rampage in a nearby snack bar and in the streets, trying to injure people at random, before he was "neutralised" by police. He said the investigation was in its early stages and that the motive of the assailant was not known.

And that's all we're told. The perp isn't named but your dollar will get five of Walt's if he's not a "Mohammed". He's legally resident in France, they say, but how he came to France is not disclosed? Is he a "refugee" or asylum-seeker from peaceful Tunisia? 

 And what about his religion? If he's not "Mohammed" by name, he is certainly Mohammedan -- a follower of the Prophet, a Muslim -- by religion. This is relevant because, according to a hard right news source, the "religious and incoherent things" mentioned in the video caption included... wait for it... "Allahu akbar!"

Of course it wouldn't do for the lickspittle media to say that. Mustn't stoke the fires of Islamophobia. But guess what? The common people of France (and all the other countries overrun by the Islamic hordes) have already figured it out. The only problem is that the common people have no control over the liberal governments who protect and coddle the terrorists they have allowed into our countries.

VIDEO: Dr Taylor Marshall on Pope Leo's apparent endorsement of Father James Martin

Yesterday we posted a brief video by our old friend Michael Matt, as part of an update to "What about that 'Father James Martin'?". We also gave you, in "Walt's forecast on Leo XIV's papacy: no change expected", the link to another commentary by Anthony Stine. Both videos deal with what Mr Matt called "the nightmare in Minneapolis" and the connection with Father James Martin, the heretical priest who is the chief Catholic [not really Ed.] promoter of the LGBTQ agenda.

Today we want to share the thoughts of  Dr Taylor Marshall, another powerful voice of traditional Catholicism, and author of the just-released Christian Patriot! To get your copy,  hot off the press, follow the links in the YouTube feed.

In this video, live-streamed earlier today, Dr Marshall shows a photo of Pope Leo XIV meeting with the Queer Priest whose mission is to turn Catholics (and everyone else towards -- not away from, but towards beliefs and practices that are antithetical to the Gospel of Salvation.

Dr Marshall argues that the Holy Father should immediately issue a profound mea culpa, and reaffirm the Faith of our fathers. And if he doesn't? Is this the end of the "wait and see" period for Pope Leo? The video is long, but worth watching, at least the first 40 minutes or so. In the second half, Dr Marshall answers questions and comments from those watching the livestream.

 

Walt's forecast on Leo XIV's papacy: no change expected

Since May, Walt has said nothing much about Pope Leo XIV, whom many traditional Catholics had hoped (and prayed) would slow down, if not stop the descent of the Roman Catholic Church into wokeness, heresy and irrelevancy. "Give him time," said our old friend Michael Matt. Well, we did, and are saddened to report that the passage of nearly three months has revealed the new pope to be very little different from his predecessor, Francis the Talking Pope.

Pope Prevost's appointments to the Roman Curia, announced very quietly on Friday, have been mostly modernists, and protégés of Francis. 

Nor has he stopped the crackdown on the Traditional Latin Mass, ordered by some bishops "in accordance with the wishes of Pope Francis", even though Francis had gone to his reward.

And today, we have news of a meeting between Pope Leo and Father James Martin, to whom we devoted an entire post just last week. 

Father Martin is as gay as 18 balloons, and found favour in the eyes of Francis as one of the most prominent advocates for "gay marriage" and "greater LGBTQ+ inclusion in the Catholic Church". Father Martin told the meeja that Leo "encouraged his ministry", just days before a planned Holy Year pilgrimage of LGBTQ+ Catholics to the Vatican, in a sign of "continued welcome in this new pontificate."

He said also that Leo told him he intended to continue Pope Francis’ policy of LGBTQ+ acceptance in the Church. "I heard the same message from Pope Leo that I heard from Pope Francis, which is the desire to welcome all people, including LGBTQ people," the objectively heretical priest told AP after the audience. "It was wonderful. It was very consoling and very encouraging and frankly a lot of fun."

The meeting, which lasted about half an hour, was officially announced by the Vatican in a sign that the new pope wanted it made public, to signal continuity with Francis, who more than any of Leo’s predecessors worked to make the Catholic Church more queer-friendly. 

From his 2013 quip, "Who am I to judge?" about a purportedly gay priest, to his decision to allow priests to bless same-sex couples, Francis distinguished himself with his message of welcome. During his 12-year papacy, Francis met on several occasions with Fr Martin and named him an advisor in the Vatican's communications department and a member of his "Synod on synodality", a big multi-year meeting on the future of the Church.

Still, Francis never changed church teaching saying homosexual acts are "intrinsically disordered". Whether Leo will attempt to change dogma is something of a question. Soon after he was elected in May, remarks surfaced from 2012 in which Father Robert Prevost, as he then was, criticized the "homosexual lifestyle" and the role of mass media in promoting acceptance of same-sex relationships that conflicted with Catholic doctrine. 

When he became a cardinal in 2023, Catholic News Service asked Prevost if his views had changed. He acknowledged Francis' call for a more inclusive church, saying Francis "made it very clear that he doesn’t want people to be excluded simply on the basis of choices that they make, whether it be lifestyle, work, way to dress, or whatever." The doctrine of the Church had not changed, Cardinal Prevost said, "but we are looking to be more welcoming and more open and to say all people are welcome in the church." 

So where does the new Pope Prevost stand today? Fr Martin, who knew him from their time working together in the aforementioned synod, told AP he wasn't worried about Leo's views, and had always found him to be "a very open, welcoming, inclusive person.... But it's wonderful to hear this continuation."

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?
