It's tits-up for Micron

Li'l Napoleon keeps plumbing new depths in the history of French presidential polling. When you listen to him, he seems to believe massive street protests are proof he's on the right track! From the looks of things, more and more folks obviously believe he is! In fact, the French masses are so impressed by their li'l emperor's sagacity they have set multiple cities alight in celebration!

CBC's coverage has been careful to stress that the massive street protests are entirely the result of  disgruntled high school students, belatedly joined by a few yellow vest types. While manifestly false, there's a reason for that framing. Canadian students are far too polite  docile to ever push back against the governments who have systematically underfunded education for the past fifty years, and besides, we never had yellow vests.

The reason a million Frenchmen and women are in the streets is because Li'l Nap has made it abundantly clear, over and over again, that in the democracy he presides over, he calls the shots, and the voters don't. Oddly enough, that's the exact message the German people are getting from Blackrock Schmertz and the Brits from the latest hapless dork who finds himself in 10 Downing. What these key NATO allies, the very like-minded democracies Mark Carney wants to hitch our wagon to, have in common is they've all announced massive social spending cuts in order to prepare their people for war with Russia by 2030. That's why France is in flames today, and unless there's  a change in course soon, the conflagration can only spread.

Which brings us back to CBC. Canada has yet to impose the draconian social spending cuts seen among our European allies, but the writing is on the wall. Thus far Carney's orgy of military spending is only in the planning stage, and we can hope the government follows through with the time-honored Canadian tradition of giving ourselves a pat on the back for a job well done, and leave it at that.

I'm not a fan of Brodie Fenlon's gang of wokies,  but they want to blame teenagers for the mayhem in France for a reason. Otherwise they might have to face the fact that voters don't call the shots in Canada either. Mark Carney at this moment has the highest numbers in the history of Canadian polling. He has announced a trillion dollars in military spending that no voters have been consulted on. If only half  those projects proceed we'll see those massive social spending cuts as surely as night follows day.

CBC News declares plastic pollution is the new front in "the culture wars"

That’s the top headline at CBC News at the moment. New front in the culture war? Really? What was the previous front in this culture war? Under editor-in-chief Brodie Fenlon, CBC News took a definite turn for the woke. The main battlefronts in Brodie’s woke-wars were drag queen story hour and systemic racism. They really rang the bell that time they featured the drag queen who was denied a story-hour slot at the local library on account of racism. So I have to say, it’s a hard pivot from the front lines of those culture wars… to plastic pollution? What’s going on at CBC News? Could it be they’re toning down the wokery because Pierre Poilievre has threatened to cut CBC News off the government teat? Did Cathy Tait send out a stern memo demanding CBC culture wars focus on real issues, and the best they can come up with is plastic pollution? And not only are they changing the channel on the culture wars, they’ve been revising their take on some actual guns-and-bombs wars as well. After banging the drum for Israel for seven months, they’ve had antisemitic diatribes for two days in a row. Yesterday they had the temerity to suggest the war on Hamas wasn’t going that well, and today, they completely jumped the antisemitic shark and hinted The Greatest Leader Since Moses might be dragging this war out to keep his ass from being dragged into jail. Who can even imagine such unprecedented Jew-hate on CBC News? To suggest that Bibi puts his political career ahead of the fate of the hostages? A blood libel! An outrage! But Cathy and Brodie can’t very well back away from wokery by becoming relevant, and exploring, in a balanced journalistic way, some actually seriously important stuff, like Israel’s genocide in Gaza. So plastic pollution it is!

Blood Quantum Fascists set sights on Buffy Saint-Marie

Brodie Fenlon’s merry band of wokelings at CBC have been having a grand time these past few years exposing various “pretendians,” non-Indigenous folks pretending to be Indigenous in order to unjustly claim the lucrative benefits that come with membership in that oppressed minority. So far they’ve ruined the careers of a few writers and academics, but they’re hot on the trail of their biggest prize yet. Buffy Sainte-Marie. That’s right! Turns out the iconic anti-war activist, singer, song-writer, native-rights activist and all-round mensch has been faking it for eighty plus years. Buffy’s been having some health issues, so thank goodness they’ve managed to expose her fraud before she went to a better place. The CBC has discovered that Buffy has absolutely no proof of her alleged Indigenous background! Who can even imagine such an outrage! Well done, Brodie! This is the kind of world-class investigative journalism that reminds Canadians that the $billion plus taxpayer subsidy to CBC is money well spent!

Putin has looted trillions from Russia

When Bill Browder showed up on CBC recently, I thought Brodie Fenlon’s CBC News must be the last news network to give this charlatan any cred. I was wrong. Here he is on MSNBC; Putin's a mafia boss trying to hold on to power. Bullshittin’ Bill has a whole new take on the Ukraine war, not to mention a new book to flog. Apparently this war isn’t about NATO expansion or any of that stuff, not at all. Instead, it’s about Putin the mafia boss desperately trying to stay in power. Hmm… Well, Bill should know a thing or two about mafia bosses. “His” Hermitage Capital was the wunderkind of a couple of Israeli mafia bosses. If you drew a venn diagram of Israeli and Russian mafia bosses you’d see an extraordinary overlap. They had a decade of salad days looting post-Soviet Russia. They originally supported Putin on the mistaken assumption that he would allow the party to continue. He didn’t. Bill got most of his ill-gotten loot out of Russia in the nick of time, and reinvented himself as a human rights crusader, a discredited schtick that apparently still has traction at CBC and MSNBC. Here’s a NYT story about the much-suppressed doc about Browder, The Magninsky Act; Behind the Scenes. You can still find it online if you make the effort. My favorite scene is near the end, where the pudgy middle-age Jew leaps out of his limo and sprints a hundred yards in nine seconds flat to avoid a guy trying to serve a subpoena! Bullshittin’ Bill still bills himself Putin’s enemy #1. If that’s the case, Putin doesn’t have much to worry about.

Canada demonstrates yet again it is a serious player on the world stage

Brodie Fenlon's CBC and our Ukrainian ultra-nationalist Deputy PM put their heads together and came up with this stroke of imbecility; Canada's UN mission goes viral with tweet mocking Russia's letter to UN.

My my! Aren't we so terribly clever!

Somebody at Global Affairs marked up an official Russian communique with high-school English teacher style snarky comments, and then tweeted it out to the world!

And it's gone viral!

Apparently, Global Affairs has received props from four minor European countries and "the rest of the world" in this daring display of idiocy.

It will be a shock for most Canadians when they eventually realize the rest of the world has long resented being yoked into the Empire, thanks to our CBCs endless promotion of same.

The article actually cites this juvenile dreck as "contributing to Canada's diplomatic efforts."

If that statement is anywhere in the vicinity of the truth, we are well and truly doomed.

Canada gives tip 'o the cap to white privilege

Not often I find myself on the same page as the wokelings at CBC News. Brodie Fenlon's got another excruciating essay on view today making excuses for the pathetic "journalism" he's responsible for. One of the great injustices of the universe is he takes home a decent dollar to write that crap, while I do better journalism on this blog for free.

But I digress. CBC has featured a number of stories contrasting our government's approach to Ukrainian vs. Afghan refugees.

For the brown Muslim refugees, we set a quota, provide oodles of hoops to jump through, and close our embassy in Afghanistan to make that hoop-jumping paper-shuffling all but impossible.

For the white Christian refugees, COME ON IN!!! 

No paperwork! No hoops! Automatic two year work visa at the door!

Hmm...

Hey Brodie, good on you and your team for not letting that slide!

Now if I may make a suggestion.

CBC's news coverage has for three weeks excluded virtually anything from other conflict zones. How are things going in the Afghanistan we once loved so much 158 Canadians died for... I'm not sure what, but let's not forget their sacrifice so readily.

How's things going with Somalia, another shithole where Canada left its mark. Remember that?

We're owed updates on a few other unstable shitholes where we were all-in to help Uncle Sam and our NATO allies restore stability, like Libya, Kosovo, Mali, and other non-white zones.

Zoom out a little from that white-on-white spectacle playing itself out in Ukraine. The news should be about more than stupid white people.

Daily Mail becomes first Western media to tell the truth about Ukraine War: Putin has won

Check it out.

Nobody can accuse the Daily Mail of being pro Putin.

Yet here we are; a major mouthpiece for Empire is second guessing Empire.

As the reality of what’s actually happening in Ukraine begins to overflow the protective berms of media narrative control, we’ll be seeing many more media climb-downs in the days ahead.

My guess is that the prevailing narrative will linger longer in Canada than anywhere else. After all, we’re proud to house the largest Ukrainian diaspora anywhere in the world.

Unfortunately, that diaspora is shot through with what are euphemistically referred to as “ultranationalists.” From Putin’s point of view, these are the “Nazis” he is talking about when he talks about the denazification of Ukraine.

They revere the leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, Stefan Bandera. Every year on Bandera's birthday, they parade around in torchlight processions displaying nazi regalia.

Bandera’s OUN rounded up and murdered tens of thousands of Jews, Poles, Roma, and others during the Nazi occupation of Ukraine during WWII.

Their banner is the the black and red flag Chrystia Freeland was proudly holding in a recent (quickly deleted) tweet.

The wokelings at CBC, who a few weeks ago were tripping over themselves trying to link a confederate flag at the Ottawa truckers’ protest to fascism, are now twisting themselves into pretzels as they try to explain away their support of actual nazis.

The uber-woke Brodie Fenlon will soon enough have to answer this wake-up call.

Fraudster Bill Browder still a "Putin expert" at CBC

Bill Browder was one of the hyenas who swooped in on Russia in the '90s to teach the locals the ins and outs of the capitalist system. He was the front man for a couple of Israeli billionaires of shady repute, whose "Heritage Capital" took the struggling Russian treasury for billions.

Once Putin came to power, Browder was originally a fan. That changed when Putin began reining in the oligarchs and the foreign carpet-baggers. 

Things got a little too warm for the likes of Browder, and he soon enough skedaddled out of the country under a cloud of scandal.

Wanting to fluff up his PR profile, Browder retained highly-regarded Russian film-maker Andrei Nekrasov to make a documentary about how he had been hounded out of Russia by corrupt officials because he had exposed their corruption. Nekrasov, a well-know Putin critic, agreed.

Somewhere along the line, the PR project went off the rails. The Putin critic gradually came to the conclusion that Bill Browder was full of shit.

The doc that resulted, The Magnitsky Act - behind the scenes, has caused Browder no end of grief. His reputation in Europe has more or less gone down the shitter. No reputable news outlet there would call on him as a Russia expert.

But there he was on the CBC this morning, still being passed off as Putin's number one enemy.

Brodie Fenlon's team at CBC needs to take a few dollars out of the DEI training budget and put it into fact checking.

CBC News explains why they're going down the toilet

We are 15 months into the cultural and social revolution sparked by the murder of George Floyd.

Here is CBC News Editor-in-chief Brodie Fenlon 'splainin' their relentless pursuit of irrelevance; How CBC is diving deeper when it comes to newsroom diversity. 

It appears Brodie still has a ways to go on his path to enlightenment, as that "Editor-in-CHIEF" business is highly problematic in some circles. 

Odd that a pot-addled bumpkin would catch that... maybe CBC should hire me as a Wokeness Coach!

Then again, white folks in positions of influence and privilege generally make fools of themselves when bemoaning "lack of diversity."

One of the startling facts revealed in Brodie's article is that 64% of Indigenous guests on CBC talk about being Indigenous. 

Of course they do! That's why the CBC has them on. It's called "pandering," Brodie. Look it up before you dive any deeper!

Speaking of pandering, one of the few manifestations of the "cultural and social revolution," other than know-nothing millennials vandalizing statues, is the CBC's "Being Black in Canada" feature. 

I had no idea there were so many lonely Black trans kids in small prairie towns. Imagine the scarce resources CBC invested in ferreting out that scoop.

On the other hand, in their zeal to impress their audience with their commitment to diversity, the CBC brainiacs sometimes neglect to mention race at all. 

Take, for example, this story about the leader of the Proud Boys white supremacist terror group, Enrique Tarrio, going to jail for burning a Black Lives Matter banner.

Not a hint in the story that Enrique Tarrio is a Black dude!

Doesn't suit the prevailing narrative
