https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ukraine-releases-footage-kamikaze-drone-boats-striking-russian-shadow-fleet-tankers

Two Russia-linked "shadow fleet" tankers suffered sequential strikes on Friday in Turkey's Black Sea waters.

Preliminary reporting from Turkish authorities indicates both incidents resulted from external interference, consistent with a mine, drone, missile, or unmanned surface vessel.

By Saturday morning, Visegrád 24 circulated new footage from Ukraine showing explosive-laden kamikaze drone boats striking both tankers at the stern, rendering the vessels inoperable.

"Ukraine released videos of its naval drones striking two Russian shadow-fleet oil tankers off the Turkish Black Sea coast yesterday. The tankers were supposed to pick up oil in the Russian port of Novorossiysk," Visegrád 24 wrote on X, posting accompanying footage showing both attacks.

"We Are Everywhere" - Fort Bragg Psychological Warfare Group Posts Chilling Video

https://www.zerohedge.com/military/we-are-everywhere-fort-bragg-psychological-warfare-group-posts-chilling-video

A secretive Fort Bragg operation that specializes in influencing people’s thoughts has released a hypnotic recruitment video that is laced with hidden meanings and strange images.

A secretive Fort Bragg operation that specializes in influencing people’s thoughts has released a hypnotic recruitment video that is laced with hidden meanings and strange images.

Known as the 4th Psychological Operations-Airborne, or 4th PSYOP, the group specializes in “using the power of the mind to persuade opinion and discourse” among the nation’s enemies.

The 1:17-second clip, posted Nov. 19 on social media, is a string of baffling clips, including old cartoons, masked figures hiding in plain sight and a group of people staring blankly at the viewer over the phrase: “We are everywhere.”

“There is another force applied in combat that we generally don’t think of as a weapon of war. That weapon is words,” the video says.

“Words are weapons… This is psychological warfare.”

The video then beckons: “Join PSYOP.”

As of Nov. 26, the video has racked up more than 15,000 views on Facebook and hundreds of comments and reactions, many noting it “goes hard” with subliminal messages. Continue…

Europe's New Thought-Policing 'Chat Control' Legislation Nudges Forward

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/europes-new-thought-policing-chat-control-legislation-nudges-forward

Representatives of European Union member states reached an agreement on Wednesday in the Council of the EU to move forward with the controversial “Chat Control” child sexual abuse regulation, which paves the way for new rules targeting abusive child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on messaging apps and other online services.

“Every year, millions of files are shared that depict the sexual abuse of children… This is completely unacceptable. Therefore, I’m glad that the member states have finally agreed on a way forward that includes a number of obligations for providers of communication services,” said Danish Minister for Justice, Peter Hummelgaard.

The deal, which follows years of division and deadlock among member states and privacy groups, allows the legislative file to move into final talks with the European Parliament on when and how platforms can be required to scan user content for suspected child sexual abuse and grooming.

The existing CSAM framework is set to expire on April 3, 2026, and is on track to be replaced by the new legislation, pending detailed negotiations with European Parliament lawmakers. Continue…

Brussels Bends The Knee: EU Signs Off On Deep Tariff Cuts For American Goods

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/brussels-bends-knee-eu-signs-deep-tariff-cuts-american-goods

European Union (EU) countries have endorsed sweeping tariff cuts for American farm and manufactured products, adopting negotiating mandates that move the bloc closer to eliminating all remaining duties on U.S. industrial goods and opening new preferential access for a broad range of American agricultural exports.

The decision by the European Council, announced on Nov. 28, clears the way for talks with the European Parliament on two regulations that implement the tariff elements of the Aug. 21 EU–U.S. Joint Statement—an accord that aims to stabilize transatlantic trade ties, reduce tensions, and rebalance two-way commerce amid lingering disputes over metals, tariffs, and digital-sector rules.

Poland Announces Foreign Spy Plot Busted, Involved Photographing Secretive Facilities

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/poland-announces-foreign-spy-plot-busted-involved-photographing-secretive-facilities

Poland's National Prosecutor’s Office announced Friday that five individuals have been charged with working on behalf of a foreign intelligence service, following coordinated arrests which spanned November Tuesday through Wednesday of this week by the Internal Security Agency and police.

Those taken into custody include two Ukrainian nationals - identified only as Oleksandr S. and a minor, Sofia Ch. - and in addition three Belarusian citizens identified as Viktoryia M., Anton M., and Uladzimir U.

The group is accused of targeting the Polish state for espionage purposes, with prosecutors alleging that throughout much of 2024 the team collected information on sensitive locations.

"The suspects' activities involved establishing contact with foreign intelligence representatives via Telegram and carrying out assigned tasks, including the creation and transmission of photographic documentation of critical infrastructure facilities and locations crucial to national security," a press release translated from Polish to English read.

Ukrainian Prosecutors Handling More Than 300,000 Desertion Cases

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ukrainian-prosecutors-handling-more-300000-desertion-cases

A Ukrainian MP recently made an unsubstantiated claim that there were 400,000 open and ongoing cases of desertion from the Ukrainian military since the invasion by the Russian Federation in 2022. It may have been hyperbole, or they may have had a source in the judiciary.

However, the General Prosecutor’s office wrote to the New Voice of Ukraine in early November that 310,000 criminal cases related to unauthorized absence from a military unit or place of service (AWOL) and desertion are currently registered, 162,000 of which came just this year. There have been over 21,000 desertions in October 2025 alone, claims journalist and former lawmaker Ihor Lutsenko – now commander of a Ukrainian drone unit.

"This is a record. A very bad record. Every two minutes, someone runs away from our army. By the time you finish reading this post, another soldier will have put on skis. Ukraine will be weaker by one defender, and the enemy will become stronger by one," he wrote, according to the New Voice. He stressed that these are just official figures, and that the real number is only likely to be higher. Continue…

France Launches New Military Service Plan To Counter Supposed Russian Menace

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/france-launches-new-military-service-plan-counter-supposed-russian-menace

Amid persistent confrontationalist rhetoric and determination to prolong the West's proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday announced a new avenue of voluntary military service for 18- and 19-year olds with the goal of gradually bolstering both active duty and reserve strength. In a critical sweetener for would-be recruits who are wary of dying in Ukraine, those who enlist under the new program will only serve in the French mainland and French territories abroad. Continue…

Antifa Mob Mobilizes Terror Campaign Against AfD Event

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/antifa-mob-mobilizes-terror-campaign-against-afd-youth-event-targets-politicians

A wave of chaos continues to spread across the Western world by the far-left extremist group Antifa.

In the U.S., this group of unhinged leftists is classified as domestic terrorists for their attacks on federal buildings and personnel. In Europe, these far-left extremists have launched an ongoing campaign of terror against the rising Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

On Saturday, Antifa unleashed chaos near an AfD youth organization event in the western German city of Giessen. AfD aims to engage young voters and elect the first leader of the newly formed youth wing. Antifa rioters attempted to derail the event.

German Christmas Market Installs 'Anti-Tank' Barriers; Public Cheers 'Creative' Solution

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/german-christmas-market-installs-anti-tank-barriers-public-cheers-creative-solution

The German town of Külsheim is dealing with the soaring costs of terror-proofing German Christmas markets with a very festive solution: anti-tank barriers.

The German public media reporting this news does not even blink about how absurd the situation has become, but instead actually praises the “creative solution” of the anti-tank barriers. For skeptics, the anti-tank barriers may serve as a comical or tragic illustration of German Christmas markets moving beyond a mere police state and right into something resembling a militarized zone.

Chinese authorities sound alarm over humanoid robots

https://www.rt.com/business/628649-china-warning-humanoid-robots-bubble/

An economic planning commission has warned that a bubble could form in the booming industry amid explosive investment levels

China’s humanoid robotics industry risks facing a bubble as a result of the current investment frenzy, the country’s economic planning commission has warned.

Speaking to reporters in Beijing on Thursday, a spokesperson for the National Development and Reform Commission, Li Chao, stated that the country’s authorities were seeking to prevent the explosive expansion of the sector from overwhelming the market.

“Frontier industries have long grappled with the challenge of balancing the speed of growth against the risk of bubbles – an issue now confronting the humanoid robot sector as well,” the official said.

In China alone, more than 150 companies operate in the field, with Unitree among the most prominent. The firm’s dancing droids were featured in the Spring Festival Gala earlier this year.

In February, Unitree released a video featuring its G1 humanoid robot performing Kung fu moves.

Other fast-growing startups, such as AgiBot and Galbot, have presented their own humanoid robots that are capable of running marathons, kickboxing and making coffee, among other activities. Continue…

Calgary Genealogists Working to Unravel Mystery of Thrift Store Box of Historical Memorabilia

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/calgary-genealogists-working-to-unravel-mystery-of-thrift-store-box-of-historical-memorabilia-5951151?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=medium-3

A team of genealogy researchers in Calgary is striving to solve the mystery of a box brimming with seemingly random historical items that was left at a local thrift store.

Included in the items received by the WorldServe Thrift Store in May was a photograph of a telegraphers union members conference from the early 1900s, newspaper clippings from the Montreal Daily dating back to the 1940s, and an antique menu from a Toronto Italian restaurant featuring salmon fillet for 15 cents.

The box also contained various newspaper clippings about a Canadian Second World War squadron that played a key role in the collection of photographic intelligence for the D-Day invasion and offered tactical reconnaissance for the British Army in Northwest Europe following the invasion.

The store handed over the box of historical memorabilia to the nonprofit genealogy organization Alberta Family Histories Society, which has been researching each item and anyone who might be connected to the contents of the box.

The nonprofit offers research support to those looking into their family history.

Director and researcher Sharon White said the group believes the items belonged to Calgary resident Marion Gordon Atkinson, who died in 2020 at the age of 88. Continue…

Northern Alberta County Split Over Nuclear Power Plant Proposal

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/northern-alberta-county-split-over-nuclear-power-plant-proposal-5945879?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=medium-2

Alberta’s County of Northern Lights is located along the Peace River about halfway between Edmonton and the Northwest Territories and has long been favoured by nuclear energy companies for one primary reason: it has ample access to frigid river water for cooling nuclear reactors.

Fifty-seven percent of voters expressed opposition in a non-binding Oct. 20 plebiscite to a nuclear power station with two to four reactors proposed by Energy Alberta due to environmental concerns. A similar proportion of voters said they wanted more information before making a decision on whether to support the proposal.

Pat McNamara who heads the Northern Action Alliance (NAA), which opposes the proposed nuclear power plant, said a similar proposal 15 years ago by Bruce Power was rejected and opposition is no different this time.

“The community made it clear the last time that they didn’t want the reactors here,” McNamara told The Epoch Times. “People moved here for the quality of life and wildlife. That will be gone. People want to protect the river. If Alberta needs more power, use natural gas; we have lots of it.”

Energy Alberta CEO and president Scott Henuset said the proposed nuclear facility could power 4.8 million homes. He said although the company recognizes the hesitation expressed by some residents, the project is ultimately a win-win for Alberta and the local community.

“We understand that people have questions and concerns about nuclear energy in general and our project specifically – it is natural and expected at this early phase of a project of this scope and size,” Henuset wrote in an email to The Epoch Times. Continue…

FDA finds 10 children died 'after and because of' COVID-19 vaccine

https://thepostmillennial.com/fda-finds-10-children-died-after-and-because-of-covid-19-vaccine

The FDA under the Trump administration has found that at least 10 children died because they took the COVID-19 vaccine. The findings were released in a 3,000-word memo written by Dr. Vinay Prasad, who is the director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.

The memo stated that “no fewer than 10” of 96 child deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System were a direct result of the children taking the COVID-19 vaccine. The memo was sent out internally on Friday.

"I am writing to report that OBPV career staff have found that at least 10 children have died after and because of receiving COVID-19 vaccination," Prasad said in the memo.

He also pointed to myocarditis as one of the significant side effects of the vaccine. "Unlike the COVID virus, which has a steep age gradient being at least 1000 times more likely to kill an 80 year old than an 8 year old myocarditis appeared to have the opposite pattern. Young, healthy boys and men those least likely to experience bad covid outcomes bore the greatest risk," he added.

Prasad described how he felt that "the FDA and CDC abdicated their duty to the American people" because the impact of the vaccines on young boys was not addressed as thoroughly. He added that after a number of deaths were reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting (VAERS) system, and after a review of the deaths found that on a scale of causality ranging from "certain to unlikely," there were 10 deaths that were related to the vaccine.

25,000 Violent Antifa Attack AfD Youth Group Convention in Giessen, Germany – Punching Journalists, Smashing Car Windows and Injuring a Horse! (Videos)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/25-000-violent-antifa-attack-afd-youth-group/

Approx. 25,000 masked and violent far-left “Antifa” militants unsuccessfully tried to shut down the founding convention of the new youth arm of the patriotic Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in Giessen. The taxpayer-funded street militia blocked motorways and bridges, battled police, conducted checkpoints and caused a police horse to panic and fall down a steep incline. The animal may have to be put down, some observers speculated.

Witnesses reported the horse panicked after rocks were thrown near the main train station, while the police claimed there was “no external cause” and insisted horse and rider were “not injured”.

Several attendees doubted the official version in light of the massive leftist riots ongoing in the mid-size Hessian city of Giessen.

A man identified as used car dealer Can Mahsuni was filmed punching the team of conservative journalist Maximilian Tichy after the trade union DGB had called for attacks on the Tichy team from their official stage. After the journalists were surrounded by violent thugs., they had to be extracted by riot police.

6,000 law enforcement officers were called up nationwide to secure the founding convention of “Generation Germany,” but were not enough to secure access to the venue as leftist militants set up 19 road blocks leading to the venue. Continue…

Inside-Out Approach, How China Uses Southeast Asia Scam Centers for Espionage

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/inside-approach-how-china-uses-southeast-asia-scam/

If scammers stole your data, the Chinese government may now have it.

The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission has identified a disturbing new pattern in China’s regional expansion: Beijing is exploiting Chinese criminal networks operating massive scam centers across Southeast Asia as a pretext to deploy its internal security forces and gather intelligence throughout the region. This strategy is called the inside-out approach.

The inside-out approach refers to how China builds influence and intelligence networks abroad by first embedding itself inside foreign criminal ecosystems and then pushing its reach outward into political, economic, and security spheres. Instead of starting with overt diplomatic or military tools, the CCP begins by cultivating relationships with Chinese triads, business fronts, brokers, and migrant networks already operating in a target country. These actors provide cover, logistics, and local access that Beijing cannot obtain through official channels. Continue…

Male Baltimore High School Teacher Exposed for Posting Disturbing Kink Videos Wearing Fake Pregnancy Belly and Massive Fake Boobs – Parents and Critics Demand Immediate Firing

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/baltimore-high-school-teacher-exposed-posting-disturbing-kink/

In yet another shocking example of radical left ideology infiltrating public schools, a “non-binary” Baltimore high school English teacher has come under intense fire for sharing explicit kink-related content on social media, including videos where he role-plays as a pregnant woman with enormous prosthetic breasts.

James Roman Stilipec, 50, who goes by “Jay Aress” online and teaches ninth-grade students at Reach! Partnership School, has been blasted by parents and conservative groups for flaunting his fetishes publicly, raising serious questions about his fitness to be around impressionable teens.

Stilipec, a former U.S. Navy veteran with 36DDD breast implants he proudly calls his “hooters,” regularly posts bizarre videos on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, X, and YouTube, which were uncovered by Reduxx. Continue…

BBC Make-Up Artists Accused of Smearing Saliva and Other Bodily Fluids on Reform Leader Nigel Farage

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/bbc-make-up-artists-accused-smearing-saliva-other/

Make-up artists at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) are facing allegations they smeared saliva and other bodily fluids on the face of Reform Party leader Nigel Farage.

According to the historian and best-selling author Lisa Hilton, who has presented numerous BBC TV documentaries, Farage was repeatedly dolled up with contaminated brushes.

“Naming no names, but Nigel Farage might want to start doing his own face, given the extraordinarily imaginative range of natural cosmetics which the brushes are loaded with when he’s in the chair,” she wrote in The Critic magazine.

The allegations ring all the truer when you consider that Farage has made abolishing the BBC license fee one of his political priorities should he win the next election. Continue…

Sweden: $375 Million in Fraudulent State Welfare Funds Siphoned Off by Foreign Criminal Gangs Ravaging the Nation

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/sweden-375-million-fraudulent-state-welfare-funds-siphoned/

A government investigation has revealed Sweden’s catastrophic betrayal, exposing how the nation’s welfare state—forged through centuries of Swedish ingenuity, sacrifice, and national pride—has been hijacked by criminal gangs, overwhelmingly fueled by unchecked mass migration from third-world countries.

The probe finally rips the veil off a scandal that Sweden’s globalist elite—those cosmopolitan liberals and social-democratic enablers who have ruled the country for decades—deliberately buried, ignored, and denied while the rot spread unchecked through the Swedish state apparatus.

Thousands of these gang members, many with deep roots in Sweden’s migrant enclaves, have been taking state handouts for years, draining the equivalent of over €325 million ($375 million) straight from the pockets of honest, tax-paying Swedes who built this system for their own people. Continue…

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/happening-now-anti-ice-rioters-trap-agents-nyc/

In a tense standoff caught on video, far-left activists swarmed an NYC garage on Saturday, physically blocking ICE agents from exiting in their vehicles as they geared up for deportation operations.

The confrontation, which unfolded amid President Donald Trump’s aggressive push for mass removals of illegal immigrants, highlights the growing resistance from open-borders groups in New York City, a notorious sanctuary haven that’s long shielded criminals from federal enforcement.

Video footage from the ground shows a mob of masked protesters swarming the garage entrance on Centre Street near Howard, shoving barricades and confronting police lines in riot gear. Continue…

Hungary's Orban Seeks More 'Cheap' Russian Oil & Gas In Warm Meeting With Putin

https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/hungarys-orban-seeks-more-cheap-russian-oil-gas-warm-meeting-putin

At a moment many European and NATO leaders are pushing back against Trump's peace plan for the Ukraine war, given it offers to cede large parts of the Donbass and Crimea to Russia, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is in Moscow on a warm and cordial visit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The focus of their discussions centered on continuing supplies of Russian oil and gas, as well as efforts to bring an end to the war in Ukraine. Such meetings have been rare examples of an EU head of state flying to Moscow where's he's given a warm and very friendly welcome, despite the still raging war in Ukraine.

Orbán emphasized to Putin that Hungary accepts and is comfortable with the fact that Hungary’s energy security has long depended on Russian fuel. He said Budapest places significant value on the consistency and reliability of Russian deliveries. Continue…

NATO's Potential "Anschluss" With Austria Would Be For Purely Narrative Reasons

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/natos-potential-anschluss-austria-would-be-purely-narrative-reasons

This would be nothing but “another (faux) victory over Putin” that could be spun as having made the populace’s reduced living standards worthwhile after they dropped due to the anti-Russian sanctions.

Former Russian President and incumbent Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev published a piece at RT in late August about “NATO’s Anschluss” in which he warned about the consequences of Austria joining the bloc like some there want to do. This issue affects his country’s prestige since the USSR was one of the guarantors of Austrian neutrality. Any unilateral moves towards NATO membership in violation of Moscow’s veto would therefore provoke an international legal crisis. Continue…

Scotland cancels payments for hosting Ukrainians – Daily Mail

https://www.rt.com/news/628690-scotland-cancel-payments-hosting-ukrainians/

Local councils reportedly fear the move could trigger a surge in homelessness applications to a system already under heavy strain

Ukrainian immigrants risk losing their housing in Scotland as the government considers scrapping monthly “thank‑you” payments to hosts, the Daily Mail has reported. One Scottish host said they received a council letter asking for views on the payments ending.

More than 4.3 million Ukrainians have received temporary protection in the EU since 2022, including around 28,000 in Scotland. Across Europe, support for hosting Ukrainians has waned. In October, the European Commission told Kiev that the temporary protection scheme would not extend beyond March 2027, and several EU states have already cut assistance.

“We got a letter from the council, asking what we thought of the ‘thank you’ payments coming to an end. They asked if we would require our guest to leave, which we would never do. But others may not be so lucky,” one host told Daily Mail on Sunday. Continue…

Europe militarizes its space agency

https://www.rt.com/news/628668-europe-militarize-space-agency/

The ESA has been awarded record funding, dropping its civilian-only focus and branching out to military and security missions

The European Space Agency (ESA) will begin working on defense projects for the first time, in a move it is describing as “historic.” A resolution by its 23 member states says the agency has the tools to develop space systems “for security and defense.”

The EU and NATO are pouring tens of billions in taxpayer and borrowed money into supporting defense firms and churning out weapons, claiming Russia poses an imminent threat. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that EU leaders are inflating the alleged danger to push their own political agendas and funnel cash into the arms industry.

Next year’s budget allocates a record €22.1 billion (around $24 billion) to the ESA for the next three years. Its member states include virtually all European NATO countries, as well as non‑NATO members such as Switzerland and Austria. Continue…

Quebec to ban public prayer in sweeping new secularism law

https://breaking-news.ca/quebec-to-ban-public-prayer-in-sweeping-new-secularism-law/

Bill 9 would outlaw prayer and face coverings in public institutions, sparking fears it targets Muslims in Canada

Source:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/28/quebec-prayer-law-canada

Quebec says it will intensify its crackdown on public displays of religion in a sweeping new law that critics say pushes Canadian provinces into private spaces and disproportionately affects Muslims.

Bill 9, introduced by the governing Coalition Avenir Québec on Thursday, bans prayer in public institutions, including in colleges and universities. It also bans communal prayer on public roads and in parks, with the threat of fines of C$1,125 for groups in contravention of the prohibition. Short public events with prior approval are exempt.

CAQ has made secularism a key legislative priority, passing the controversial Bill 21 – which bans some public sector employees from wearing religious symbol – in 2019. It plans to extend that prohibition to anyone working in daycares, colleges, universities and private schools. Full face coverings would be banned for anyone in those institutions, including students.

Quebec’s secularism minister, Jean-François Roberge, said the controversial new provisions were the latest steps in a province working towards full secularization. He criticized previous accommodations by post-secondary institutions, including prayer rooms, telling reporters the schools “are not temples or churches or those kinds of places”. The ban on public prayer comes after the group Montreal4Palestine organized Sunday protests outside the city’s Notre-Dame Basilica that included prayers. Continue…

‘Highly Pathogenic’ Form of Avian Flu Identified at 4 Southern Ontario Properties, CFIA Says

A highly pathogenic form of avian flu has spread to four properties outside of London, Ont., according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

The agency has issued notices on its website about the virus’s presence at four commercial properties in the Strathroy-Caradoc area. The first notice was dated Nov. 14, with the rest dated on Nov. 22, Nov. 26, and Nov. 28.

The agency has established a “primary control zone” to prevent the spread of the disease. Such zones require permits for the movement of birds, their products, and by-products through a control zone, according to the CFIA.

Academic boycott in University of Windsor’s agreements singles out Israeli universities, says CIJA

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/academic-boycott-university-of-windsor-israeli-university-cija

A leading Jewish group is continuing its legal battle against the University of Windsor’s boycott of Israel, enacted as part of an agreement with protesters to end anti-Israel encampments on campus last year.

“The agreements are discriminatory and signify a dangerous capitulation to extremists,” Richard Marceau, senior vice-president of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), said in a statement after the group appealed a court ruling that left intact a provincial decision upholding the agreement.

The deal with anti-Israel protesters, who were part of a wave of anti-Israel protests at universities across Canada, included a mandate for the university to develop anti-racism initiatives, divest from investments in organizations involved in Israel’s offensive in Gaza, review academic partnerships with Israeli universities, as well as provide opportunities supporting Palestinian students and scholars.

It was signed by the university and by protesters, who called themselves the “Windsor Liberation Zone Team,” following weeks of negotiation.

On Oct. 29, the Divisional Court dismissed the CIJA’s request for judicial review of the Ontario Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery’s decision upholding the deal.

“The academic boycott … singles out Israeli universities — and only Israeli universities — for exclusion,” CIJA says in a news release. “This constitutes overt discrimination based on nationality, place of origin, and geographic location.” Continue…

56 years of questions: Nova Scotia teen's disappearance still a mystery

It has been 56 years since Alden Joseph Brown walked into the woods in Colchester County on a deer hunting trip with his father and uncle.

Nov. 29, 1969 was also the last time anyone saw Alden, who was 12 at the time.

He and his relatives were supposed to be out for just a few hours that morning. They went into the woods on Pembroke Road in Burnside not far from a farmhouse owned by a family friend, and they were supposed to meet at that house at noon.

Alden's father, Bernard, and uncle, Neil, returned, but Alden didn’t.

When he still wasn’t there by 1:30 p.m., they drove around the area and to Stewiacke and Truro, but there was no sign of Alden, a Grade 7 student at the former Prince Andrew School in Dartmouth.

The two men saw another hunter who told him he had met Alden on a road at 2:45 p.m. and he had asked for directions back to the farmhouse.

But he didn’t show up, and RCMP were called. A search started the next morning, after more than 35 centimetres of snow had fallen. Continue…

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/switzerland-says-no-swiss-voters-overwhelmingly-reject-womens/

Some European countries are still pushing back against leftist-Globalist agendas.

Swiss voters responded with a resounding no to some woke propositions in a decisive vote.

They rejected a ‘mandatory national service’ for women, and also rejected a new ‘green’ inheritance tax that would raise money for the usual racket: mitigate ‘climate change’.

A British man was arrested and harassed by local police after posing with a shotgun while on vacation in Florida.

Jon Richelieu-Booth, a 55-year-old IT contractor, had uploaded a picture of himself holding firearms at a Florida homestead on August 13.

After offering them proof the photos were taken in America, poliuce went ahead and arrested him on August 24.

India-Born Democrat Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi Pushes Bill to Flood America with DOUBLE the Amount of H-1B Visa Workers – Indians Stand to Gain the Most

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/india-born-democrat-rep-raja-krishnamoorthi-pushes-bill/

Democrat Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, who was born in New Delhi, India, has reintroduced legislation to double the annual cap on H-1B visas from 65,000 to 130,000.

The bill, known as the High-Skilled Immigration Reform for Employment (HIRE) Act, or H.R. 6305, was introduced on Tuesday.

Krishnamoorthi, representing Illinois’ 8th District, argues the measure will boost U.S. competitiveness by lowering “workforce shortages” in tech and other fields.

“To build the jobs and industries of tomorrow, America must stay at the forefront of innovation by strengthening our own workforce while continuing to welcome top talent from around the globe,” the congressman said in a statement about his bill.

Krishnamoorthi continued, “By growing our domestic talent pipeline and ensuring employers can recruit the skilled workers they need, we can create good-paying jobs and secure America’s leadership in the technologies of the future.”

However, critics slam the proposal as a giveaway to foreign labor at the expense of American workers, especially amid rising unemployment in the tech sector.

Importing foreign workers has long been criticized for displacing U.S. citizens from their jobs and driving down wages. There are countless stories of Americans having to train their cheaper, foreign replacements.

Indians have long dominated the H-1B program, receiving over 72% of all visas issued in fiscal year 2023 (October 2022 to September 2023).

Social media erupted with backlash, with users accusing Krishnamoorthi of prioritizing his homeland over America.

One post called him an “Indian First, Forever Extremist,” highlighting his past efforts to ease green card limits and expand visa categories. Continue…

France & UK Still Insist On Sending Troops To Ukraine, In Effort To Sabotage Trump Peace Plan

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/france-uk-still-insist-sending-troops-ukraine-effort-sabotage-trump-peace-plan

As we reported earlier, the important Miami meeting wherein American and Ukrainian delegations hammered out a revised ceasefire draft for some five hours on Sunday did not have European participation. But this is where the real deal-making is taking place. Trump envoy Steve Witkoff is en route to Moscow, where he's expected to meet with President Putin on Tuesday, in order to present where things stand on the peace plan.

The Miami meeting reportedly focused on where the new de facto border would be in the east, after the 19-point plan featured significant territorial concessions in the Donbass and Crimea. As for Europe, is still touting a "coalition of the willing" which are vowing ongoing military support to the Zelensky government.

At this moment, France and the United Kingdom especially are continuing to push for the deployment of troops from NATO-member states to Ukraine as part of their version of peace settlement, despite this being very obviously unacceptable to Moscow. Continue…

"The Whole Model Is Broken": 'Tech Mafia Wife' Admits 'We Were Klaus Schwab's Useful Idiots' (Videos)

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/whole-model-broken-tech-mafia-wife-admits-we-were-klaus-schwabs-useful-idiots

When someone who used to be the queen of elite progressive philanthropy says the entire system failed - and may have been hijacked for something much darker - the world needs to hear it.

As 'Camus' writes in a post on X, Nicole Shanahan - ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, former running mate of RFK Jr., and someone who personally signed nine-figure philanthropy checks - just went full whistleblower on the entire Silicon Valley “tech wife mafia” and how they were used.

"…the whole model is broken… the whole model makes everybody worse off…" exclaims Shanahan confirming what Desiree Fixler said, that:

"The WEF sold the “Great Reset” as “build back better” — climate action, ESG, inclusion, and PPP.

In practice, it shifted power away from voters to NGOs, corporate elites, and unelected technocrats.

Policy was relabeled “science” to silence debate.

Markets were warped by ESG scores, carbon taxes, and paper-pushing regulation.

Corporations were turned into enforcers of ideology."

As Shanahan exposes in this shocking insider account, communities weren't uplifted - wealth and power were pushed upward, and the 'tech mafia wives' were simple 'useful idiots': Continue…

6,000 Airbus A320 Jets Receive Critical Update After "Intense Solar Radiation" Exposure

https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/6000-airbus-a320-jets-receive-critical-update-after-intense-solar-radiation-exposure

Airbus announced early Monday that nearly all A320-family commercial jets have received a critical software update after "intense solar radiation" last month triggered a glitch that could affect flight controls.

"Out of a total number of around 6,000 aircraft potentially impacted, the vast majority have now received the necessary modifications," Airbus wrote in a press release, adding, "We are working with our airline customers to support the modification of less than 100 remaining aircraft to ensure they can be returned to service."

Last Friday, Airbus released an Alert Operators Transmission to all airlines operating the narrow-body jet about an urgent software update, warning the fix could cause "operational disruptions to passengers and customers."

The planemaker said the corrupted flight-control data was caused by "intense solar radiation."

At cruising altitude, jets are exposed to 100 to 300 times more solar radiation than at ground level, and a solar storm can amplify that exposure enough to disrupt avionics processors, including corrupting memory or causing logic errors.

Last year, the economic impact of violence reached $19.1 trillion, or $717 billion higher than the previous year.

This came as conflict deaths hit 25-year highs, and wars continued in the Ukraine and Gaza. In response to heightened geopolitical tensions, European nations have injected billions into defense spending. Even Japan plans to double its defense spending to 2% of GDP.

'Surgical Removal Of An Organ': Ukrainian Recruiter Arrested For Allegedly Beating Conscript's Genitals In Heinous Attack

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/surgical-removal-organ-ukrainian-recruiter-arrested-allegedly-beating-conscripts

After a forced conscript was beaten in his groin area to the point that he lost an “organ” following emergency surgery, Ukrainian authorities have moved to arrest the recruitment center head.

The staff of the Ukrainian State Bureau of Investigation (DBR) arrested the head of one of the district recruitment and military service preparation centers (TCK) in the Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast.

The recruiter is accused of brutally beating a conscripted man for refusing to perform a fluorographic examination during the medical aptitude test (VLK), reported by the General Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine and the DBR, based on the announcements of Ukrainian news outlet Pravda.ua.

The DBR investigated complaints from citizens and parliamentarians that beatings, torture, and demands for money had taken place in a TCK operation in Transcarpathia. Notably, neighboring Hungary has alleged that recruits from the Transcarpathia region are targeted for recruitment at an especially high rate due to them being ethnic Hungarians. Continue…

‘Biggest Assault On Our Liberties in 800 Years’: UK Abolishing Trial by Jury Threatens Freedom of Speech

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2025/12/01/biggest-threat-in-800-years-scrapping-juries-imperils-freedom-of-speech/

Freedom of speech will be under even greater threat if the British government is able to do away with jury trials for almost all cases because legal studies show a judge sitting alone is far more likely to convict defendants in free speech than juries, the Free Speech Union warns.

The Free Speech Union warns the United Kingdom risks losing “a check on governmental power and arbitrary justice” in “the biggest assault on our liberties in 800 years” if the government is able to push ahead this week with plans said to be looking at abolishing the right to a trial by jury in all but the most serious cases, such as murder, rape, terrorism, and others. For many other criminal cases where defendants face considerable jail time, the chance to have their guilt assessed by their peers hangs in the balance as Justice Secretary David Lammy looks for a cut-cost way to clear a backlog in cases, and the Union warns freedom of expression cases are particularly threatened.
