How the Canadian govt swindled seniors out of their retirement pensions.
The Canadian dollar lost roughly 80% to 85% of its internal purchasing power over the last 50 years because of the relentless compounding of inflation. According to historical tracking from Statistics Canada, a basket of goods that cost $100 in the mid-1970s requires nearly $500 to purchase today. This means that a fixed, uninvested dollar saved in 1976 retains only about 15¢ to 20¢ of its original value in 2026.
@juleplas@gghamari@NehanAzamBC 2 of the websites names were registered with a canadian domain registrar. (Private company) Thats it. Nothing to do with Canada, anyone can register a domain name for <10$ the websites were not even hosted here.
@MelissaLMRogers@scoopercooper Infrastructure? Registering domains with a company out of toronto is super easy to do and can be done from anywhere, its like if they registered the domains with godaddy and then said the kill network was run out of Arizona. Its just the domain registrar they used...
Insane framing.
He was anally gang-raped.
He was severely beaten and then anally gang-raped on camera. Both a knife and a taser were reportedly used.
There was a hole in his rectal wall. He got surgery for it.
Because he was anally gang-raped by the IDF (on camera).
He also had 7 broken ribs and other injuries as well.
After it happened, Israelis staged multiple large protests in the streets. Not because they believe these soldiers did anything wrong, but because they were infuriated that the soldiers were arrested for anally gang-raping a Palestinian on camera.
These protests weren’t just random people. They included multiple high ranking Knesset members (their Congress) who defended the anal gang/rapists.
They didn’t stop there. They went after the lawyer who leaked the video. She was publicly smeared, was forced to resign, and was arrested.
And now the anal gang-rapists who were caught on camera have had their charges dropped. They didn’t win in court. They weren’t somehow exonerated. The charges were completely and indefensibly dropped. The Jerusalem Post reports that there was sufficient evidence to take this to trial.
This is part of a larger pattern of torture and impunity. NYT and many other major outlets have extensively detailed the abuses at the Sde Teiman torture factory. NYT reported that Prisoners lose 30+ pounds, a nurse was anally raped by a metal rod, another man was raped by a dog, and another was anally raped by a fiery hit rod until he died. Yes, the NYT reported all of that. I’ll share sources in the replies. Torture and sexual assault are commonplace at Sde Teiman, and many prisoners die in the process.
The UN concluded that rape from IDF soldiers is so commonplace that it constitutes official “strategy of war”.
And of course these monsters virtually never face jail time. Because Israelis by and large don’t have any problem with any of it.
This is just what their society does.
They torture Palestinians.
An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise, and its sailors paraded on land before the president.
The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo.
Breaking with all norms of civilization and warfare, we then refused to rescue the drowning survivors. The Sri Lanka Navy was left to pull the dead bodies from the water.
I am hard pressed to think of any other nation throughout history that would do something so cowardly and despicable. We are genuinely in a league of our own, and American media — mostly shrugging off the bombing of a girls school and acting as if carpet bombing Tehran is a normal military tactic — is deeply complicit.
🚨THIS IS CRAZZYYY: The United States Secretary of Defense just said this out loud:
“Flying over their capital. Death and destruction from the sky all day long. We’re playing for keeps.”
Tehran has a population denser than New York City.
“Death and destruction from the sky all day long.”
Those are human beings. Families. Children.
And the man controlling the most powerful military on earth is describing their deaths like a movie trailer.
Six soldiers dead. An illegal war built on lies.
No congressional vote. No plan.
And this is who’s running it.
No more lies about “30,000 dead Iranians.”
No more fake outrage about women’s rights.
They’ve finally dispensed with the pretense of “protecting Iranians” and have moved on to the stage where they massacre as many as they possibly can.
OMG Tucker Carlson literally cooked Trump and Piers Morgan brutally:
- Tucker Carlson: How many Shiite terror attacks have there been in the United States in my lifetime?
- Let me do the math
- Zero
- So don't tell me that the greatest threat we face is Iran. That's a lie
Just to recap, we went from:
“We are doing regime change to free Iranians”
to
“We’ve actually been at war for 47 years”
to
“We are getting rid of their Navy and missiles”
to
“Okay, fine… Israel dragged us into this.”
We went from “they can’t have nukes”
to
“they can’t have any means to defend their borders, period.”
And then Israel spent the day bombing all their police stations so they also can’t maintain order domestically either.
Failed State status is the goal- same as Syria and Libya and Yemen. And anyone who says otherwise is lying to you.
By launching this illegal war of aggression against Iran, Donald Trump has betrayed the American people and his own base, none of whom wanted this.
He has sided with Lindsay Graham, Mark Levin and Benjamin Netanyahu, the most despised laughingstocks on the planet.
By announcing that this is indeed a regime change war (as anyone paying attention and being honest has known all along) he has tied his entire legacy to this action.
If he isn’t able to achieve a regime change, he will have killed a bunch of people for no reason.
If the regime does fall, we have already admitted that we have no one to install and without boots on the ground, it is difficult to install a regime even if you had someone. Trump will be responsible for what comes next- the thing war hawks never consider.
Trump is launching another reckless war to instigate a regime change.
He used to understand that such military interventions more often than not have disastrous consequences for both the population of the targeted country and for Americans. And to denounce the warmongers in both the Republican and Democratic parties.
But the neocon imperialists have hijacked his government. And they are putting out the same ridiculous propaganda to justify this war that George W. Bush did when he invaded Iraq in 2003.
I cannot support the US for once again bombing a country that poses no threat to them. They act, as they have for decades, like imperialist bullies who believe they have the right to do whatever they want, anywhere in the world.
Canada must remain neutral and stay out of this and other foreign conflicts that do not directly concern us, and, as always, put Canada’s interests first.
I don't even know what to write about this one.
What am I supposed to say? "Hey everybody, they're lying to us about this war"? Everyone already knows that. Even the people who support this war know all the justifications for it are lies.
They know Iran isn't building nukes.
They know Iran poses no threat to the United States.
They know all that bullshit about Iran cutting out women's wombs and murdering tens of thousands of protesters was evidence-free atrocity propaganda.
Nobody needs me to tell them these things. Nobody needs me to tell them that this war is going to kill a whole lot of innocent people and inflict unfathomable amounts of suffering upon our species, both directly during these attacks and indirectly in the chaos and instability ensuing thereafter. Everyone already knows this.
Everyone already knows this, and it's happening anyway. They're just doing whatever evil things they want to do, without the slightest regard for public opinion or consent.
They're just going right ahead with a military operation to topple Tehran, after decades of inertia for fear of the horrific consequences it would unleash.
They're just choking off Cuba using siege warfare, which previous presidents refused to do because it would be a monstrous act of war.
They just kidnapped the president of a sovereign nation, which previous administrations had refused to do because it's plainly against international law.
They just helped Israel turn Gaza into a gravel parking lot and are now building a giant dystopian tech surveillance encampment to imprison the survivors.
They just designated an American company a "supply chain risk to national security" for the first time ever because the AI firm Anthropic refused to let the Pentagon use its technology to operate autonomous killing machines and surveil American citizens — an open admission that the Pentagon plans on using AI to run autonomous killing machines and surveil American citizens.
There's an old Frank Zappa quote that's been popping into my head more and more lately:
"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."
We're seeing a lot more bricks lately.
That's all I can think to say right now.
