In fairness to the Muslim community of "Greater Toronto", and migrants from south Asia (and NOT because of M-103!) I feel obliged to pick up some loose ends and post something of a mea culpa for "Toronto-area honour killing (?) claims 4 family members", WWW 29/7/19.
I posted the first version of this story 48 hours ago, as the news broke. The only information that the York Region police were releasing was that four people had been killed in one house and that a young man had been arrested when he answered the door of the house. Nothing was said about the man's relationship, if any, to the victims. And there was nothing about the victims' identity, ethnicity, status in Canada or religion. But, since Markham ON is a "diverse" community -- the majority of Chinese ancestry, actually -- with a large immigrant population, Agent 78 checked Fairchild Radio to learn more. That was where we got the tip that the members of the household were south Asian. That was correct.
From the names and appearance of people -- former tenants of a basement apartment -- who spoke to the (((controlled media))), I jumped to the conclusion that the family were probably Muslim. A further clue was the name of the suspect who was arrested -- Menham Zaman. Although the "authorities" still haven't said as much -- M-103 is in effect! -- that inference appears also to have been correct, and I stand by it. We'll know for sure when the funeral is held.
Then I wrote, "South Asian family. Domestic violence. Murder. Don't be surprised if, as Walt hereby predicts, this turns out to be an 'honour killing'." Although I didn't use the word "Muslim", because "honour killings" occur in other religious communities -- Sikhs, for instance -- I did write that the murders could have been triggered (no pun intended) by "some sort of domestic situation arising from someone not following the strict laws of Islam regarding dress and deportment, or choice of spouse."
That insinuation appears to have been unwarranted. After I had posted two updates [which seemed like enough. Ed.] news emerged of disturbing messages and images posted by Mr Zaman on a gaming platform called "Perfect World", which he used regularly. According to an administrator of the site, "He messaged many of his friends, including myself, about the details of the murder, during the act.... He has been choosing self-devaluing names like 'subhuman' and 'don't deserve life' to represent himself."
According to the meeja, Mr Zaman said online that he killed his family becauase he was tired of lying to them about his life. (They believed he had been attending university, whereas, he said, he had been killing time, gaming, and generally doing nothing was his life.) What we see now is a picture, not of an affair of honour -- I was wrong about that* -- but of an affair of insanity, or something like it. The story is sad, no matter the ethnicity or religion of those involved. I propose to give it a rest now.
* Note from Ed.: Mind you, Walt didn't say flat out that the murders were honour killings. He wrote, "Don't be surprised if..."

UPDATED: Toronto-area honour killing (?) claims 4 family members
First, the version of this story published by the state-owned, ultra-PC CBC (Canadian Broadcorping Castration).
Four people found dead in a Markham, Ontario, residence on Sunday afternoon were killed, York Regional Police have confirmed as a man arrested at the scene is set for a court appearance Monday. Const. Andy Pattenden told CBC Toronto that the man, 20, is in custody and will appear in court "at some point today." Pattenden also said the identities of the four would not be released until after post-mortems.
An earlier version of the CBC article said police would not disclose the relationship, if any, between the residents of the house and the man taken into custody. UPDATE added at 0750: That man has now been identified (even on the CBC!) as 23-year-old Menhaz Zaman, of Markham. He is charged with four counts of murder in the first degree.
Markham is a burgeoning town just northeast of the Little Apple. The majority of its residents are Chinese. Agent 78 tuned in to Fairchild Radio, the local Chinese-language outlet, and learned that the family -- for they were all related -- were south Asians. Another source quoted a family friend named "Rafiq" as saying they were a happy family who had just that weekend had a lovely picnic at Bluffer's Park in nearby Scarborough.
South Asian family. Domestic violence. Murder. Don't be surprised if, as Walt hereby predicts, this turns out to be an "honour killing" -- some sort of domestic situation arising from someone not following the strict laws of Islam regarding dress and deportment, or choice of spouse.
Such things are not unknown among the Middle Eastern and south Asian immigrant communities of Toronto and Vancouver. See, for example, the still-shocking Shafia murder case, in which an Afghan immigrant to Canada, his second wife (in a polygamous marriage) and his son, all devout followers of the Prophet, were convicted of the murder by drowning of the man's first wife and three of his daughters by his second wife.
Don't be surprised, either, if Walt and others who dare to suggest that people who believe that such atrocities are justifiable if it's a matter of honour or fidelity to one's religion shouldn't be admitted to our supposedly Christian countries are called "racists", "Islamophobes" and all the other pejoratives hurled at those who make the link between barbaric cultural practices and heathen religions. Lifetime pct .988.
UPDATE added at 1145: Walt is not the type to say "I told you so." Keep that in mind as you look at this pic of the murder victims -- Menham Zaman's father, mother, grandmother and sister. Why would a young man kill not only his parents, but his granny and his sister too? It may be some time before we learn the answer... if ever.

MUSIC VIDEO: Newbie but goodie from Tuba Skinny, just dropped
Nice to take a break on a hot summer day -- and I do mean hot -- from politics and religion and relax with an ice cold Dixie. And what better kind of music to accompany the imbibing than a new piece by Tuba Skinny, the greatest New Orleans Jazz Band on this side of the Pacific! Just posted to YouTube on July 24th, this is "Cushion Foot Stomp".
If you enjoyed this (and how could you not?!), check out "Won't You Be Kind to Me?", posted on WWW 27/4/19 and the band's first appearance on WWW, 12/1/19, recorded at the Albita Springs Opry, 19 June 2017.

VIDEO: Tranny Blaire White disses tranny Jonathan/Jessica Yaniv for human rights complaint re not being able to get his/her balls waxed
Ed. here. Walt tells me there is no way he can write a better introduction to this story than that posted by our old friend Rex Murphy in "The Yaniv outrage has left Canada, rightly, the laughing stock of the world", in the National Post, 27/7/19. Rex writes:
A friend of mine recently went to his local garage, claimed he was a re-conditioned ’79 Chevy Nova and asked them to do a timing check on the carburetor and rotate his tires. They said they wouldn’t because he didn’t have a carburetor, or tires, and they only worked on “cars.” He is off now to the local human rights tribunal (after a stop for spare parts at Canadian Tire).
The story Rex refers to has been widely reported in America, Australia and Britain, but not in Canada, where the big three (((controlled media))) -- the CBC, CTV, Global -- have agreed amongst themselves to bury it, for fear of offending the suddenly powerful "transgender community" or dealing a setback to the cause of "transgender rights". That would be because the actual story is so ridiculous, such an abuse of common sense, as to defy belief. As Blaire White -- herself post-op tranny -- points out, it really does look bad for the "community".
In a nutshell -- that word being perfect here -- it concerns the efforts of Jonathan/Jessica Yaniv, a self-identified pre-op (= still has testicles) transexual to get a Brazilian wax on his groin. He/she/xe has approached over a dozen businesses which offer the service -- all of them, curiously, operated by women -- and has for some reason(s) been turned down. The technicians have said that they are too busy, or haven't been trained to do that to people with ovular appendages, or are forbidden by the tenets of their religion.
Jonathan/Jessica is outraged that he/she/xe has been insulted and discriminated against, and has filed complaints with the British Columbia Human Rights Commission, which is already notorious for hearing frivolous complaints, as in their prosecution of Mark Steyn. Mr Murphy asks: "...is it simply enough...for someone to walk into its offices, self-declare 'I am a trans woman and I can't get my scrotum waxed,' and have them take on the case? Is that truly all it takes?"
What does this case tell us about the dominance of radical progressivism in western society, particularly on the Pacific coast (for BC is Canada's version of California, just not quite so degenerate...yet). The mind boggles. Anyway, here's Blaire White's take on the whole sordid mess.
Further viewing: Lindsay Shepherd, a young Canadian woman who has been raked over the coals, and banned from Twitter, for standing up for free speech and against progressive censorship, has had her Twitter account reinstated. Click here to watch her video on how she got banned and unbanned, and on human rights tribunals, the Yaniv case and its impact on the respondents. WARNING: Contains vulgar language related to female genitalia!
Footnote: Speaking of "transgender rights", a report just in from Pakistan says police have found the bodies of two transgender women who were tortured and beaten to death. Senior officer Mohammad Ali Zia says the bodies were recovered late Saturday from a locked house in eastern Punjab province. He says it's unclear what motivated the killings, which appear to have taken place three days ago. Transgender people are often subjected to abuse in the conservative, Muslim-majority shithole. They are also among the victims of so-called honour killings carried out by relatives to punish perceived sexual transgressions.

Beauty queen joins Women For Trump Coalition Advisory Board
This is a good news follow-up to "'Majority of blacks killed by other blacks' -- that's 'offensive'?", WWW 23/7/19. According to BPR: Business & Politics, Kathy Zhu, the conservative beauty queen who was stripped off her "Miss Michigan" title because of a couple of tweets that offended the SJWs and snowflakes, has a new gig with Team Trump. She is now a member of the Women For Trump Coalition Advisory Board! Congrats, Kathy!President Trump's reelection campaign announced Thursday that Ms Zhu -- who happens to be a vizmin, by the way -- is now part of The Women for Trump Coalition Advisory Board, an official arm of the Trump 2020 reelection campaign. They tweeted, "Team Trump welcomes Kathy Zhu to the Official Women for Trump Coalition Advisory Board! [Kathy] is a patriot who has continued to stand for American values despite being stripped of her crown. Thank you for your support of President."
Ms Zhu, thrilled to be on board, tweeted her eagerness to reelect the president in these words. "I am so excited to now be part of the #WomenforTrump Coalition Advisory Board! Let’s get Trump re-elected for 2020 🇺🇸😁." Walt agrees and wishes Kathy Zhu all the best!

VIDEO: Krystal Ball says leftist media "Infowars conspiracy" hurt Dems
Not being a watcher of MSNBC, I had never heard of Krystal Ball until today. Doubting that that could be her real name, I Googled it, and found that according to Wikipedia, Krystal Marie Ball (DOB 24/11/81) is an American journalist [sic], politician ("Democratic" omitted), and news talk anchor on The Hill's news programme Rising with the Hill's Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti. She is also a businesswoman and certified public accountant, which of course made her eminently qualified to co-hos MSNBC's afternoon news/talk show The Cycle from June 2012 to July 2015. In the 2010 election, she ran for the Democratic Party in Virginia's 1st Congressional District. She lost.
Now somewhat removed from the institutional left, Ms Ball has turned (somewhat) on her former employer and colleagues at MSNBC, and admitted publicly that the abortive effort of the (((controlled media))) -- Hello not only to MSNBC but to CNN and the rest! -- to swing the 2016 presidential election and then enact a coup is doing a great deal to the Democrats. In this video, she concedes that the backlash against the Trump-hating media is only starting to play out. The 'Infowars conspiracy theory' on Russia and "this whole setup has done more damage to the Democrats' chances of winning back the White House than anything that Trump could ever have dreamed up." That's what the lady says.
Walt will eschew any jokes about cycles or crystal balls. Just watch the short (6:21) video.
