#Canada: Coming soon to Canada care of Mark Carney, the Big Brother prime minister! Are we having fun yet?
@doctor_rahmeh @NadimHCr Zio's are happy to boast about their power & influence & how they will wield it If we supply our full details to social media companies, as per Starmer's bill, it will make it easier for them to carry out their threats. x.com/Nadira_ali12/s…
Every time you see a bald eagle flying above or an osprey on a nest, you're looking at the result of work Lucille Stickel started in 1946. She was a wildlife biologist at a federal research lab in Maryland, and in 1946 she published one of the first studies anyone had done on a brand-new miracle chemical called DDT. At the time, DDT was being sprayed on everything. It killed mosquitoes, it killed crop pests, and the assumption was that it was basically harmless to anything bigger. Stickel spent the next few decades proving that assumption dead wrong. She and her colleagues followed DDT through the food chain and into the bodies of birds. They showed how it built up, how it broke down into a compound that wrecked the way birds built their eggshells, and how the eagles and ospreys and pelicans at the top were ending up sitting on nests full of crushed eggs. The shells had gone too thin to survive a parent's own weight. That was the mechanism behind the great raptor collapse of the 20th century. This was the body of science Rachel Carson drew on for Silent Spring, and it was the evidence the country leaned on when it finally banned DDT in 1972. The eagles came back. So did the ospreys. Stickel went on to become the first woman to run a major federal research lab. People called her the bald eagle's best friend. Next time one flies over, that's partly who you have to thank.
#Canada : Before you trust the federal govt and social media platforms to store *your personal information* just to prove you're 16+ so you can access X/Twitter or Facebook (including biometrics if you verify using a facial scan), consider this French government face-palm. 🤦♂️
France just torched its own backdoor argument. They push Chat Control to scan your private messages “for safety” … while their official gov app Tchap got breached via one social-engineered account. 73k agents, 643k messages, 13.5GB files exposed. The same state that can’t
*** Canada: Pay fucking attention. *** Greenwald is talking about the proposed UK law, but this applies equally to Carney imposing age restrictions on social media. It's not meant to protect kids (& it won't), it's intended to *remove* protections from *you* (& it will).
One of the greatest threats to internet freedom and privacy are these manipulative laws, now spreading, that force people to prove they're of a certain age to use social media platforms and other sites. The UK Government, naturally, is now seeking this. The defense of these laws
URGENTE | Nos tienen retenidos dentro de un avión para impedir el ingreso de la misión internacional de derechos humanos a Bolivia. Cuando un gobierno le teme a una delegación de observación, deja en evidencia que tiene mucho que ocultar.
A little video about the Suffragettes' bombing and arson campaign. Don’t smash drones destined to mass slaughter civilians in Gaza, though—they’ll jail you as a 'terrorist' just for trying to uphold international law.
Just to be clear: Palestinians who refuse to “voluntarily” enter this concentration camp will be MURDERED. That’s the plan. Stated openly. And people still insist with a straight face that this isn’t genocide.
So, anyone who doesn’t go to the concentration camp will be “eliminated.” Doesn’t sound genocidal at all…
Some of those women gave everything so you could sit in that chair, and you repay them by rewriting and erasing their stories, to give cover for genocide. Absolutely pathetic.
The Lady Chief Justice: Palestine Action was not a direct action civil disobedience protest group like the suffragettes, but used violence to destroy property The suffragettes burned down country houses & train stations, bombed churches & sent letter bombs to politicians.
New study adds evidence that the "Cold Blob" in the North Atlantic is proof of AMOC slow-down. And it can only be explained by changes in ocean heat transport (impacted by us). Continued slowdown, even shut-down cannot be excluded. An unacceptable risk. cnn.com/2026/06/12/cli…
Less invasive than forcing everyone to tie their online presence to their IRL existence, in case that wasn't clear.
Of course, phones and their operating systems already have parental controls. And there are less invasive ways to get the same effect.
@Alonso_GD Japan has a "ticket" method as well, where an adult goes to a corner shop, presents ID to the cashier, and the cashier generates a code. The adult can then enter that code into adult websites to prove their age. No ID tracking, no facial scanning, no massive government database.
Canada: Take note. The call to "protect the children" is a cynical lie. I mean, who wants to side with harming children? But that's not what is about at all--it's about tying your online presence to your legal identity. Age restrictions have been put in place in Australia, and a large proportion of kids have workarounds that let them access social media anyway (like having an older friend or sibling create an account for them). So the "plus" side of age restrictions doesn't have much "plus" to it. Meanwhile, most of the harm done by social media isn't bc of the age of the user, it's bc of the way the sites are designed, including measures that are meant to mimic (or actually cause) addiction and to incite rage as a means of fostering engagement. These elements of the platforms could be regulated without insisting that every single person show their ID and basically doxx themselves just to get onto X or Facebook or Threads. But (1) protecting young people isn't the point, so the fact that it's ineffective and there are other ways of doing it is treated as irrelevant, and (2) god forbid we regulate companies owned by billionaires/trillionaires! Nah, let's just regulate *everyone else* and take another step toward comprehensive surveillance for fun and profit (mostly profit). Our data is already sold to companies that use it for personalized price gouging, where vendors create different prices based on what your personal data says is the maximum you, specifically, are willing to pay for something, charging you a different amount than someone else with a different income and spending profile. And Carney *already* has a bill before Parliament (C-22, Lawful Access Act) to facilitate police use of our personal online data. "But C-22 is just to stop crime!" Dude, seriously? Are you a child? Both the right and the left have *good reason to distrust the federal government and the police*. Think of the frozen bank accounts during the Ottawa convoy and the regular beatings and arrests of lawful protestors supporting Palestine or trying to protect the environment. Not to mention decades of spying on perfectly legal Indigenous organizing. Or the RCMP's law-breaking, which was so severe and outrageous that the feds had to take away the RCMP's national security mandate and give it to a whole new agency, CSIS. Plus we've had a rash of incidents lately (eg, in Ottawa) where police officers have used the police computer system for personal (and very creepy) reasons, like spying on their ex (or their ex's new partner) and getting private information (address, date of birth, etc) about women they want to date. Can you spell "cyber-stalking"? One cop did it just out of "boredom," even though he knew it was forbidden, which shows you how seriously some cops take your privacy. But Carney just says "trust me, bro." Don't trust him, bro. Do not trust him on this, bro.
🪪"You will now need to show your papers just to go onto a social media site." A social media ban will "incur an enormous privacy intrusion for the British public." @silkiecarlo reacts to Starmer's social media ban announcement, on BBC News⤵️
I love how these government functionaries just admit through their actions that their position is utter bullshit. She listens at first, but then she gets the gist of the (very reasonable) question about differential treatment of friendly states and enemy states when they commit comparable crimes. Once that happens, she smiles as if it was a joke and walks away. The obvious answer is that Canada has very different standards of conduct for states it likes and those it doesn't, not a single, principled rule that's applied equally to everyone. But she never had to *say* that, bc any question that would reveal the government's bullshit is, by definition, something she can ignore. But that little grin gives the game away.
Canadá: ministra propuso que rusos y bielorrusos no puedan participar en Olimpiadas. Huyó cuando un periodista le preguntó si decía lo mismo tras la invasión de Irak o el bombardeo en Libia o Afganistán... O las 168 niñas asesinadas en Irán.
This is correct, see sonavyx.com/en/insights/ie… and here support.rationalacoustics.com/support/soluti…. "...many environmental and nuisance noise regulations in the US specify A-Weighting. This is a holdover from the now-defunct Noise Control Act of 1972. A-Weighting, however, is a poor choice for nuisance noise applications...due to its low-frequency roll-off. Low frequencies are more likely to generate noise complaints, as they are most likely to propagate far distances outdoors and transmit most efficiently through structures."
Bloomberg is owned by the world's 18th richest man. Billionaires emit more carbon in one hour than a poor person does in a lifetime. This is propaganda.
This is the war crime "Israel" hides behind the hijacked term "evacuation order". A real evacuation order is made by a *legal authority*, not an illegal occupier (Gaza) or an invading army (Lebanon). Calling it an "evacuation" is like calling a bank robbery a "withdrawal."
They say “Israel tells residents to leave” because FORCED DISPLACEMENT is a war crime. This is how they launder it.
It may be small comfort, but I will tell you this: I have been involved in supporting Palestinian liberation from Canada for over 40 years and in all that time Zionist propaganda has never been broken the way it is now. *Broken beyond repair*. That's not a magic solution, but it *is* the road to a Palestinian victory. Without smashing the effectiveness of hasbara, there was little (if any) chance of success, but now that it's broken, success is a matter of time. Without an effective hasbara machine, the Zionist entity cannot succeed. The end of Zionist mass murder, of the Zionist state, may not come as quickly as you and I want it to, but it is coming. I'm not young, and you're in Gaza, so it's entirely possible that one of us or both of us may die before Palestine's ultimate victory over Zionism, but if that happens we can at least for knowing that victory is coming. I'm not naive. I've seen promising signs before without ever saying that victory was inevitable. Making overly optimistic predictions is as harmful as making overly pessimistic ones. Claiming victory early, and on insufficient evidence is, tactically speaking, as bad as claiming that we have already been defeated and should surrender bc *inaccuracy leads to defeat*. We must be as precise as possible. With that in mind, I will still say that (without a nuclear war or environmental event that ends the human species), Palestine has won. I know that the US and the Zionist state are trying to adapt to the new situation, and I know that they have incredible resources and a lot of talent and vast numbers, but they are coming too late. In their hubris, they let things go too far, and they have lost (even if they don't know it yet). So, it may be that I don't live to see it, or you don't, or neither of us do, and of course I *really* wish we could, but, on the ultimate question, please let your heart be at peace. Palestine has already won.
Thank you Bosnia for cleansing the awful darkness that filled Toronto’s streets after 60,000 pro-genocide people gathered to raise funds for Israel’s genocide last weekend. Free Palestine! Viva Palestina! Humanity will prevail!
