In search of the truth…

„Two of the 3 victims specifically singled out by the NYT in a marquee exposé published in December, which alleged that Hamas had deliberately weaponized sexual violence during the Oct. 7 attacks, were not in fact victims of sexual assault, according to the spokesperson for the Kibbutz Be’eri, which the Times identified as the location of the attack.“

In Alberta’s Rocky Mountains, an Australian-owned coal mine is quietly forging ahead

Grande Cache locals were surprised to hear Mine 14 — exempt from Alberta's pause on coal mining in the Rockies — is poised to start digging

Wow ... #CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which takes $1.5B taxpayer money per year) says killing of Palestinians doesn’t merit terms ‘murderous,’ ‘brutal’ In response to complaints about its coverage, because the killing of Palestinians happens “remotely”.

Maybe this got #Shell nervous about #Nigeria:

A UK court ruled that "13,000 farmers and fishers from the Ogale and Bille communities in the Niger delta were entitled to bring legal claims against Shell for alleged breaches to their right to a clean environment.

The judge ruled it was arguable the pollution had fundamentally breached the villagers’ right to a clean environment under the Nigerian constitution and the African charter on human and people’s rights."

@MeeMee I would like to see mandatory screening for all students entering pharmacy study programs. If your religion will prevent you from filling any prescription, no admittance.

"What motivated them? I put the question to any number of historians of self-immolation, but the best answer came from a scholar based in Washington, D.C., Timothy Dickinson.

A Terrible Act of Reason: When Did Self-Immolation Become the Paramount Form of Protest?

Suddenly, self-immolation is everywhere. Yesterday, in Oslo, a man set himself on fire outside the Anders Breivik trial. He follows at least forty Tibetans…

Kids remember who killed their families. We are experiencing a mass radicalisation.
