You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 3, 2025. 0:30 We unpack the controversy out of Dearborn, Michigan, where Mayor Abdullah Hammoud told a Christian resident he was “not welcome” in the city after objecting to a street being renamed for a man who once praised Hezbollah. We break down the mayor’s remarks, the misuse of the term “Islamophobe,” and what this moment says about free speech, civic respect, and the growing confusion between disagreement and hate. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the Federal Government spent less money in 2025 than it did in 2024. Some details are finally coming out about the alleged Halloween Terror Plot in Michigan.The FBI filed a 73 page complaint in court against 2 men under the age of 21 and a teenager. Tomorrow is election day in several states across the country.New York City will be selecting a new mayor, and most polls say communist anti-semite Zohran Mamdani will win easily. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We take a hard look at what it means to be American in 2025 — and whether today’s immigration policies are helping or hurting the nation’s civic fabric. From nostalgia for Ellis Island to sharp criticism of mass resettlement policies, assimilation and shared civic norms — including pledging allegiance to the Republic — are non-negotiable for national unity. 16:00 The American Mamas are back together! After a wild stretch of floods, car troubles, and chaos, Kimberly Burleson rejoins Teri Netterville for a candid and fiery conversation about boundaries, truth, and common sense in a world that seems to have lost all three. In this episode, the Mamas share a surprising story about a massage appointment gone wrong — when “preference” meets “policy” and customer comfort gets dismissed in the name of virtue signaling. They also unpack Glamour UK’s controversial “Women of the Year” cover featuring transgender models and ask: how far can society bend reality before it breaks? If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We dive into actor George Clooney’s surprising reversal — admitting that Democrats made a mistake pushing Joe Biden aside for Kamala Harris during the 2024 election. 26:00 We Dig Deep into another glaring example of failure under the Biden administration — a 54% surge in SNAP (food stamp) spending, now topping $120 billion a year. We unpack new revelations from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, who says an internal review uncovered thousands of cases of EBT card fraud — from duplicate benefits across states to payments to the deceased. Even more alarming? Twenty-one states — nearly all Democrat-run — refused to share their data, with several even suing the federal government for asking where the money went. We contrast the left’s “compassion equals more checks” philosophy with a conservative vision of empowerment and accountability. True compassion lifts people up rather than locking them into dependence. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 After nearly forty years in Congress, Nancy Pelosi is reportedly preparing to step away from politics — announcing she won’t seek re-election in 2026. We reflect on Pelosi’s legacy — from her two Trump impeachments and dramatic moments on the House floor to her role in deepening partisan division. 36:00 Plus, the U.S. Navy has manager 273 nuclear reactors over 6,200 reactor-years and 177 million miles — all with zero accidents, zero injuries, and zero environmental pollution, and that's a Bright Spot. 40:30 Violence continues in Chicago. Over Halloween weekend alone, at least 23 people were shot across the city. As President Trump calls to deploy the National Guard to restore order, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and federal courts have resisted — even as the Supreme Court signals growing concern. The people of Chicago will continue to suffer so long as they continue to vote for Democrats who hate Donald Trump. It's time for somebody to step up and say, "Whoa!" 42:30 And we finish off with Scott Johnson, a STEAM teacher at Red Cross Elementary in Kentucky, whose creativity and compassion changed a young boy’s life.

Lionel tears into the radical policy proposals (like defunding the NYPD, closing Rikers, and implementing free buses) that define a candidate as either a "visionary progressive or a dangerous ideologue". We reveal the fear of a "shadow government, globalist government to destroy everything that is ours" and dissect how cultural anxiety—from seeing "veils and headscarves" to the alleged shift from assimilation to "replacement"—is shattering voters' identities. Lionel explores the dangerous political climate where opponents weaponize labels like "xenophobe" and "Islamophobe", and discusses the threat of manufactured crises, specifically how the end of SNAP benefits could precipitate mayhem, lawlessness, and martial law.

Lionel delivers an entertaining and informative hour focused on the painful truth about America's crisis of identity. The host confronts the political use of labels like "racist," "Islamophobe," and "anti-semite," arguing that these terms no longer mean anything and are merely used to tell people to "shut up". The core issue? The loss of American culture due to the failure of assimilation and the threat of cultural replacement. Lionel discusses the dangers of Islamism—a political ideology disguised as a religion—and reveals his shock when a staunch leftist friend decides to vote Republican due to the multiplication of "headscarves" in her neighborhood. Drawing on a list of countries (including France, Belgium, and Japan) that have imposed bans or restrictions on full face coverings (like the burka and nikab) for reasons of cultural cohesion and national security, the show debates whether we are in the middle of a cultural war. Plus, a deep dive into the New York City mayoral race. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The show debates the failure of assimilation, the threat of cultural replacement, and whether America is suffering from a sense of "Historic Alzheimer's". Lionel dives deep into the chaotic New York City mayoral race, debating strategic voting and dismantling progressive figures like Zohran Mamdani, whom he dismisses as a "poser" and a "sock puppet". Plus, intense discussion on Islamism (a political ideology disguised as a religion), the lunacy of policies like "free buses" and "rent freezes", and a highly detailed, mouth-watering interlude about the unrivaled excellence of Cuban food.

A version of this essay has been published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/hindu-americans-political-vulnerability-violence-h1b-bias-13936122.htmlChandra Mouli Nagamalliah, a 50-year old motel manager in Dallas, Texas, was brutally hacked to death and beheaded by a Cuban criminal illegal alien, in front of his wife and son. The murderer kicked Chandra's head around in the parking lot, before picking it up and dropping it in a garbage bin. All this because of an argument about a washing machine.This extraordinary incident got no airplay in the US, partly because it coincided with the murder of a conservative broadcaster, Charlie Kirk. There have been other acts of extreme brutality in the US: Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, was stabbed to death by a psychotic killer in a train. In December, Debrina Kawam was burned alive in a New York subway.Violence is not unusual, but it hits home when a ‘model minority' Hindu is killed in such a dramatic manner. There was also the unexplained death of Suchir Balaji, a whistleblower who used to work for OpenAI, who may have been silenced. 633 Indian students have died abroad in 5 years, including 172 in Canada and 108 in the US, according to India Today.I worry about what all this means for the 2-3 million Hindu-Americans. I specifically speak of Hindu-Americans for good reason. Non-Hindus from India have other networks: Muslims and Christians join existing mosque and church groups; some Sikhs project Khalistani memes, falsely alleging religious discrimination in India, seek asylum, and shun Indian connections. Zohran Mamdani, a PIO, has strong Islamist support in his run for NYC Mayor.Second, anti-Hindu noise in the US has gone up substantially, especially the allegation that Hindus practise caste-based discrimination. There was the California Bill SB 403, sponsored by Afghan-American State Senator Aisha Wahab, which the Governor vetoed. Now there is a new Bill SB 509 that also targets Hindus, and which has also passed the California Senate and Assembly. It was co-authored by State Assembly Member Jasmeet Bains.Then there are the lawsuits. There was the infamous suit against Cisco Systems alleging caste bias by two Hindu ‘upper-caste' managers against a ‘lower-caste' employee. After years of acrimonious hearings, the Federal Court penalized the California Civil Rights Department for faulty prosecution; CRD withdrew the case against the two managers; the case against Cisco continues in arbitration. But this has led to copy-cat suits and a malign narrative against Hindus.Another major lawsuit was against the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Temple in Robbinsville, NJ, the largest Hindu temple in the Western Hemisphere, again with accusations of caste-based discrimination. After years of wrangling, and accusations that an immigration lawyer had coerced some complainants, the DOJ and the US Attorney's Office for New Jersey closed the criminal case on September 19th, finding no violations of federal law or worker exploitation. The civil case continues; the narrative against Hindus has been strengthenedThere are leftists with Hindu names aplenty who are actively campaigning against Hindus and supporting people like the academic Audrey Truschke, a known anti-Hindu activist. This is true even among some people in India: for instance, Annapurna Roy won Best Director at the Venice Film Festival, and dedicated her win to women and “the children of Gaza”, never mind the Hindu women, children and men being severely oppressed in Bangladesh right next door.There has been a massive spike in the anti-Hindu narrative online in the recent past; paradoxically because of their ‘model-minority' nature: they work hard, obey the law, pay taxes, and get ahead in life. Hindu-Americans likely have the highest per-capita income of any ethno-religious group in the US (Indian-Americans at large do). This leads to envy, especially as the economy struggles and you need scapegoats.That is reflected in attacks on the H1-B visa program, of which Indians are the biggest beneficiaries. There is the sudden imposition of a $100,000 “tax” on H1-B visas by President Trump. The net result of this is going to be an exodus to India and third countries, an echo of Idi Amin expelling Indians from Uganda.On the one hand, a good bit of America's competency in technology is supported by Indian engineers on H1-B visas (of course, there are Indian doctors and nurses and so on also on H1-B). On the other hand, US engineers don't have much bargaining power (compared to, say, US doctors), so they have been complaining about foreign-born engineers for decades.In addition to being part of the Trump Administration's pressure tactics on trade, the H1-B noise harks back to early 20th century anti-Hindu and anti-Indian prejudice, when racism and religious bigotry combined to oppress immigrants. A century later, same wine, different bottle. I wrote in January about the compelling cases of Bhagat Singh Thind and Vaishno Das Bagai. They were, like Chandra Nagamalliah, real human beings, not just some statistics. The murdered Charlie Kirk himself had explicitly called for reducing visas for “people from India”.But there is a bigger, more general problem: Hindus generally seek wealth, not political power, ie the old Guns vs. Butter debate. The problem is that if you don't have guns, the folks with the guns will take your butter. Hindus focused historically on wealth creation, and then were left flabbergasted when wave after wave of invaders came over the Khyber Pass or across the oceans, and just took the wealth.It is the same in the US now: Hindus seek material advancement, not political power. Even the Hindu elected representatives said very little about Chandra's tragic death. Vivek Ramaswamy, who had earlier emphasized his Hindu roots, was silent until prodded by online critics. Other prominent politicians were also quiet.But other immigrant groups have made substantial progress in capturing political power. As an example, the entire city council in Hamtramck, Michigan, is Muslim. In the UK, Pakistani-origin people are in positions of power. In Dearborn, Michigan, the Muslim mayor, on September 9th, told a Christian priest that he was an Islamophobe and effectively urged him to leave the city.Without political power, Hindus will be vulnerable. There will be sorry exoduses from various countries, and India should become the “nation of last resort” for PIOs. India should treat this as a version of the ‘1000 Talents' program that China used to attract its diaspora, and create ways to utilize their skills to support economic growth. That needs a lot of planning and can be a win for the country, however traumatic it is for individuals.Here is the AI-generated Malayalam version of this podcast, from notebookLM.google.com:1000 words, 20 Sept 2025, updated 23 Sept 2025 This is a public episode.

David Waldman pines for the Virginia fjords around this time of year and can only deny his wanderlust two more hours before this three-day weekend. Generalissimo Donald K. Trump will keep hosting military parades until everyone salutes. The Navy version should have better floats of course and will feature dancing Sea Cadets, escorting the beautiful new giant Ashli Babbitt balloon, along with musical guest Gloria Gaynor riding on the Robert E. Lee memorial float, brought to you by that “King of Beers”, Pete Hegseth. ICEISIS are icing themselves out. You can now spot them by looking for the “47” tattoo next to their “88”. You knew that with the Trump administration it'd be only a matter of time before there would be a Federal Boob Inspector. Speaking of Tatas, Anthony Tata, retired brigadier general, practicing racist Islamophobe, and acting Pentagon lacky, has been connected in a few ways to the internet's most notorious astrologer, Amy Tripp. If New Jersey got rid of Alina Habba when they should have, they wouldn't be in the trouble that they are in today. Trump cancels Kamala Harris' Secret Service detail as he'd hate to see anyone live longer than him. Greenland is all bothered just because the US is looking into toppling their government. Trump says, Relax guy! You should see what we have planned for Alaska! Gop Mark Alford goes to town halls to lie, thinking that his constituents understood that. Lies are bad for science, etc. so scientists etc. are moving to Blue Sky.

C'est avec quelques mois de retard que nous avons découvert Le Repli, formidable film documentaire du cinéaste Joseph Paris. Il y est question d'état d'urgence, de recul des libertés publiques et de l'histoire de l'islamophobie en France. Enthousiasmés, nous avons proposé à Joseph Paris de venir nous raconter son rapport aux archives, au cinéma et aux images du pouvoir. Comment les dévoiler sans s'en faire le relai, comment les réagencer pour les désactiver. Il nous parle aussi de son expérience au près des Femen, jusqu'à leur neutralisation depuis l'intérieur mais aussi de son travail en cours sur le front ukrainien.

In this compelling episode of The Whole Student, hosts Kal Balaven and Mo Pritzker welcome Irshad Manji, New York Times Bestselling Author and founder of the Moral Courage College, for a transformative conversation. Kal begins by sharing a candid and somewhat "embarrassing" story: in 2008, based on secondhand information, he attempted to "cancel" Irshad, believing her to be an "Islamophobe." This episode documents Kal's journey from that misperception to a deep appreciation for Irshad's work. A returning guest from Season 1, Irshad shares her insights on the crucial difference between belonging and groupthink, emphasizing the importance of voluntary affiliation over community ownership. She delves into practical strategies for cultivating moral courage, navigating today's cancel culture, and building trust in a divided society. Key themes include: The power of listening: Irshad stresses the importance of meeting people where they are, asking genuine questions, and building trust through active listening. Navigating the "Anger Highway": The conversation explores how to move beyond reactive emotions and engage in constructive dialogue. Confident humility: Irshad highlights the paradox of standing your ground while creating common ground, and trusting the validity of your own experiences without being threatened by others. The role of education: The episode underscores the need to equip students with the skills to engage in healthy conversations and build bridges across differences. This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of open dialogue, critical thinking, and the courage to challenge our own assumptions. Join Kal, Mo, and Irshad as they explore how we can foster a more inclusive and understanding world.

On December 20, tragedy struck Magdeburg's Christmas market when a black SUV ploughed through holiday shoppers. Four women and a nine-year-old boy died, while 200 others were injured, including seven Indians. The suspect, Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen, a 50-year-old Saudi psychiatrist, has been arrested. He had been granted asylum in Germany in 2016 and was critical of the “Islamism of Europe.” He is also a staunch supporter of the far-right and anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. And Nancy Faeser, Germany's interior minister, said after the attack that he was “obviously Islamophobic”. So, what do we know of this man, and was this attack political? And, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz faces backlash over alleged security lapses, as Saudi Arabia had flagged Al-Abdulmohsen's radical views as early as 2007 and had requested extradition. Germany refused, fearing for his safety. So, why did Germany ignore Saudi warnings? In this episode of Geeta's World, our host, Anna Priyadarshini, and the foreign affairs editor at India Today, TV Today Network, Geeta Mohan, discuss!

Candace Owens once suggested the US invade Australia to save us from “tyrannical” COVID policies. Laura Loomer has described herself as a proud Islamophobe. Nick Fuentes is a white supremacist who's praised Hitler. All three have been big Donald Trump supporters, using huge social media platforms to advocate for the former president. But recently, all of them have turned on Trump's campaign. What's behind this dramatic turnaround? And are these far-right influencers right about their criticism of Trump's strategy? Dr Emma Shortis is a Senior Researcher for the International & Security Affairs Program at independent thinktank the Australia Institute.

Huda Fahmy's hilarious graphic novel for teens will delight listeners. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Emily Connelly discuss the fun of listening to this lively audio adaptation. Huda's having a bit of an identity crisis. Her family's just moved from a small town to Dearborn, Michigan, and suddenly her personality can't just be “the hijabi girl” because she's not the only one.

The independent press should be a bulwark against this.But we do not think the press are doing enough. Western news media is failing to educate the public about geopolitical biases, and to expose us to worldviews that challenge our own.We cannot hand our listeners the truth, but we can better equip you to identify it.In this investigation, Media Storm uncovers firsthand stories of militancy in Northern Ireland and Apartheid South Africa which shine new light on terror and resistance: Tony Doherty, the son of a Bloody Sunday victim who sought justice through the IRA, and Black South African freedom fighters who waged war against the Apartheid. Testimonies of "terrorism" are largely absent from mainstream news. We believe that seeking out human perspectives to explain resistance and radicalism is not only a journalist's right, but a journalist's imperative.We have very special guests joining for our season 3 finale.

Dr. Carl Goldberg became seriously interested in Islam after 9/11's hijackers were reported to quote the Koran for justification. What God could justify such an act of murdering 3000 innocent Americans? He studied the Koran and other Moslem works. He has made it his duty to educate Americans on the impact of the jihad against the Western world, and all non-Muslems. In 2014 Dr. Goldberg was called one of America's leading “Islamophobes by the Council by American Islamic Relations. We'll discuss Islamic threats to Israel and the U.S. we have quotes about Moslem and peace from their writings. Contact Dr. Goldberg @ IdeologyofIslam@cox.net
I'm afraid that Canada is now the most dangerous place in the world for freedom of speech. Look at this insane press conference just this week, from the provincial legislature in Ontario https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1643578610098356232 In case you missed it, she wants massive fines and even jail for being merely “offensive remarks” or “protests”. You probably didn't notice it, but I called her a "she", instead of "they-them." So I just broke her proposed law, right there. I misgendered her. That's “offensive” to her. It's pretty clear that she is offended all the time. You could say she is offended for a living. But there is no human right not to be offended. That's a counterfeit human right. Which now takes precedence over real human rights, like freedom of speech and freedom of thought. Canada's great history of civil liberties is coming to an end. A few weeks ago, Jyoti Gondek, the mayor of Calgary, Canada's fourth-largest city, announced the same thing: that anyone who says something she finds hateful or vitriolic, or lying should be arrested and fined. Some might say she is hateful and vitriolic and tells lies. Those aren't crimes by the way. That mayor publicly demanded that police arrest a pastor named Derek Reimer because she found him offensive. So they arrested Pastor Reimer, and jailed him — for being offensive. There are a lot of arrests of peaceful political critics in Canada these days. Pastor Artur Pawlowski was jailed for a month and a half for keeping his church open during the lockdowns. Justin Trudeau invoked martial law and had peaceful trucker protesters arrested and jailed for the sin of embarrassing him on the world stage. He also seized the bank accounts of hundreds of other peaceful critics of his regime. In his defence, he did try to warn us about his beliefs, even before he was elected https://twitter.com/ezralevant/status/1626579644714557442 When a politician says he admires Communist China precisely because of its basic dictatorship, we should believe him. When Fidel Castro died, Trudeau wrote a eulogy like a son would write for a father. Cuban health care is a disaster. “while a controversial figure, both Mr. Castro's supporters and detractors recognized his tremendous dedication and love for the Cuban people who had a deep and lasting affection for “el comandante”." Is that what his “detractors” say, from their prison cells? That Castro was just a loveable old dictator who really had their best interests at heart? So gross. https://twitter.com/ezralevant/status/1621245655850303489 But here's the thing. Arresting peaceful protesters, deploying riot police to stomp on your critics, seizing bank accounts — it looks awful. It's messy. It's so obviously controlled by politicians and it's so obviously designed to stifle political dissent. But if you're going to silence someone, the way to do it in 2023 is much different from how Castor did it a generation ago. And Trudeau knows that. And while his allies are having noisy press conferences where they absolutely make it clear that they're all about silencing their political enemies, Trudeau is smarter than that. You see, the truly modern fascist uses the Internet, not the police, to censor people wherever possible. When you take over the Internet, there are no shocking TV images of cops beating up your opponents. It's all done online. There's nothing to see. And that's what I want to warn the world about — that's the message that everyone who loves or even just likes Canada needs to know: Trudeau has embarked on a massive legislative program to censor the Internet. He's going through it in four stages, the first of which is about to become law within weeks. Trudeau has four laws set up like dominos. The first leads to the second, which leads to the third and so-on. He's doing it in stages. If he were to do it all at once people might panic and rise up. But he's going it incrementally. But the first domino will fall in weeks maybe even days. BILL C-11 Later this month, Trudeau's majority in the Senate will approve bill C-11, which amends the Broadcasting Act. In a way, this is the most important stage, the first domino, because until now, the government hasn't been able to regulate what's on the Internet. Until now, only regular television and radio have been regulated by Trudeau and his hand-picked censors at the CRTC, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. It even sounds archaic, doesn't it? What's a radio-television? Is that like a motion picture or something? Anyways, that dinosaur regulator, which has been an utter failure and has driven so much talent out of Canada, will now control the Internet — by declaring that social media companies are now “broadcasters” that can be regulated like TV stations. This enactment amends the Broadcasting Act to, among other things, (a) add online undertakings — undertakings for the transmission or retransmission of programs over the Internet — as a distinct class of broadcasting undertakings” In the past, the government could only bully radio and TV stations into silencing voices the government didn't like. About 20 years ago, the Liberal government refused to renew the licence of a politically incorrect radio station in Quebec called Choi-FM — effectively killing it. It was only saved when 50,000 listeners marched in the streets of Quebec City, and another 5,000 went all the way to Ottawa to protest the censorship — only then did the government relent. Here's a news clip from the Parliament Hill protest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-yDalFUU8Q That's incredible, and it was incredible to see other media support Choi-FM. These days, the mainstream media takes the lead in censoring and cancelling voices they don't like. So that's the main threat of C-11: it declares that Facebook and Google and YouTube and Twitter are now broadcasters. And they have to do what the government says, or they'll be punished like CHOI-FM was. You can see the outlines of what Trudeau plans to do with his new power. Look at the section. 9.1., called “conditions”. As in, Trudeau can now put editorial conditions on Internet companies. Conditions 9.1 (1) The Commission may, in furtherance of its ob- jects, make orders imposing conditions on the carrying on of broadcasting undertakings that the Commission considers appropriate for the implementation of the broadcasting policy set out in subsection 3(1), including conditions respecting…” and then a list of things. If I were Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk, I might object to a few of these conditions. Like this one: “9o) the provision to the Commission, by persons carrying on broadcasting undertakings, of any other information that the Commission considers necessary for the administration of this Act, including (i) financial or commercial information, (ii) information related to programming, (iii) information related to expenditures made under sections 11.1, and 35 (iv) information related to audience measurement, other than information that could identify any individual audience member So now social media companies — including Elon Musk's privately-held Twitter — now have to answer any private business question put to them by Trudeau. There are sixteen items in that list of conditions. But here's one that really worried me from a censorship point of view. It's subsection e. Trudeau can make orders regarding: "(e) the presentation of programs and programming services for selection by the public, including the showcasing and the discoverability of Canadian pro- grams and programming services…" So Trudeau can order Twitter, Facebook, Google, or YouTube to alter the algorithm to interfere with what you can find. Trudeau can force social media companies to “showcase” whatever content he wants and to alter the “discoverability” of it. So he can boost his friends and have companies hide his enemies. It effectively nationalizes social media — now it is all under Trudeau's control. So it's not just C-11. It's what comes after C-11 that's terrifying. Because once Trudeau has the power to regulate the Internet, only then will he reveal what he will do with it. And as we saw during the trucker convoy, he will suspend civil liberties if it suits him. BILL C-18 C-11 is just step one. But Trudeau already has another bill in Parliament called C-18, or the Online News Act. And just like C-11 makes social media companies “broadcasters” for Trudeau to regulate, C-18 creates a new thing, called “digital intermediaries. Here's how that's defined in the bill: "digital news intermediary means an online communications platform, including a search engine or social media service, that is subject to the legislative authority of Parliament and that makes news content produced by news outlets available to persons in Canada.” So that's a fancy way of saying any sort of search engine. And every social media platform has that, by the way. Not just explicit search engines like Google. But also YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Anything with a search engine, that if you type in something, like “carbon tax” or “Trudeau blackface” it returns a list of links for news stories. Just the headline, maybe the first sentence, and a link to click if you want to see more. Now, as you know, that's how the Internet works — things link to other things. For free. No one has to pay for a link, no one has to get paid for a link. People generally love getting linked to, since it sends traffic to what you're doing. If a bunch of people post a story to Facebook about a Rebel News story, we love it, because they click the link and come to our site, and that's good for us. In fact, many news companies pay to promote themselves on search engines — sometimes you see ads show up in the search results (marked as ads). So obviously if newspapers are advertising on Facebook or Google, it's because they see value in it. But what C-18 does is it forces social media companies and search engines to pay any news organization they link to. They are literally going to be compelled to pay to link to someone. Here's how a Liberal MP Lisa Hepfner put it: https://twitter.com/lisahepfner/status/1603134194909171714 gov't will always support quality, fact-based and local Canadian journalism in a fair digital marketplace. This bill makes it harder for big digital platforms like Facebook and Google to steal local journalists' articles and repost them without credit on one of their networks 3/3 Yeah, when Google links to a story, it's not stealing. That's disinformation, isn't it? But look at her language — the government will support quality, fact-based journalism. What does that mean? Well, again, it means only journalism that Trudeau likes will be subsidized. It's right in the law: Eligible news businesses — designation 27 (1) At the request of a news business, the Commission must, by order, designate the business as eligible if it 30 (a) is a qualified Canadian journalism organization as defined in subsection 248(1) of the Income Tax Act That qualified Canadian journalism organization designation is really a Canadian news licence — if you have it, it means Trudeau “trusts” you. If you don't, he demonizes you as misinformation. We applied for that QCJO status, and the government reviewed hundreds of Rebel News stories and bizarrely declared that what we do is not news. Huh? It's called Rebel News. It's not sports or weather or cooking. They literally said 99% of what we do isn't newsy. That's bizarre, and we are legally appealing that decision. But it's pretty obvious why we were denied, but hard-left-wing media groups like the Tides Foundation-backed National Observer get the designation: because they're in step with Trudeau's regime. So C-11 commandeers the Internet. And lets Trudeau manipulate the algorithm. C-18 makes big tech companies pay money to journalists in Canada — but only to the journalists that Trudeau likes, not the ones he doesn't like. That's handy. By the way, Facebook has said that if they're forced to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to link to Trudeau's favourite journalists, they just won't link to Trudeau's favourite journalists. They say it's not a moneymaker for them, and if Trudeau really thinks it's “stealing” to link to the Globe and Mail or whoever, then they'll stop doing it. Google is soldiering doing the same — and Trudeau calls that “blocking” news sites. Got it. So if you link to them, you're stealing. If you don't link to them, you're blocking them. The only solution is to give hundreds of millions of dollars — but only to journalists that Trudeau's hand-picked cronies approve. Not to Rebel News — we don't have a government news licence. So that's C-18, it's Trudeau's second censorship bill. BILL C-36 C-36 is the next one. It was actually introduced in the last Parliament but didn't get passed before the election was called. Trudeau has said they'll reintroduce it. It's terrifying. Because it doesn't just deal with money and algorithms. It gets right into what you can or can't say — and it has jail terms and huge fines if you say the things Trudeau doesn't like. Let me read to you its formal name, and you can get the picture:"An Act to amend the Criminal Code and the Canadian Human Rights Act and to make related amendments to another Act (hate propaganda, hate crimes and hate speech)” Yeah. Trudeau calls people haters all the time — Islamophobes, transphobes, racists, whatever. He usually just means those as insults. But now he means them as crimes. So if you oppose him, he'll call you names and charge you with crimes. If you don't believe me, read the bill. Just to start, hate propaganda is already in our Criminal Code. Section 318 of our Criminal Code already makes it a crime to advocate for genocide; section 319 makes it a crime to incite hatred. But C-36 goes much further. It's pretty brief. But it tries to criminalize feelings. Including hate: hatred means the emotion that involves detestation or vilification and that is stronger than dislike or disdain; It's totalitarian to pass laws telling people how to feel and think. You can't tell someone simply not to be upset; try that with your wife or husband: just order them not to feel bad; they'll feel worse. Hate often comes from an underlying grievance; if you don't deal with that in some way, you can “ban” hate all you like, but it won't work — in fact, you'll probably make it worse. So they've defined the feelings you're not allowed to have. And now they're going to ban it. You see, they've decided to regulate the Internet. They've got their bureaucrats at the CRTC through C-11. They're getting the big tech companies through C-18. C-36 is where they really come for you: Communication of hate speech 13 (1) It is a discriminatory practice to communicate or cause to be communicated hate speech by means of the Internet or other means of telecommunication in a context in which the hate speech is likely to foment detestation or vilification of an individual or group of individuals on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination. Who knows if something will foment hate? I'm pretty sure they'll say everything foments hate — these people are professionally offended, it's their job and their hobby and their sense of identity. For the purposes of subsection (1), a person who communicates or causes to be communicated hate speech continues to do so for as long as the hate speech remains public and the person can remove or block access to it. That means if you Tweeted or Facebooked something even years ago, even when you were a kid, you're still guilty of that hate crime today. There is no statute of limitations. You know, in real courts there's the idea of being able to confront your accuser. To look them in the eye and challenge them. Not here — Trudeau is setting up a secret course. Complaints about hate speech will be made in secret — and these secret complainants can get up to $20 grand for their complaints. It's a new industry: Non-disclosure of identity — Commission (8) The Commission may deal with a complaint in rela-tion to a discriminatory practice described in section 13 without disclosing, to the person against whom the com-plaint was filed or to any other person, the identity of the alleged victim, the individual or group of individuals who has filed the complaint or any individual who has given evidence or assisted the Commission in any way in dealing with the complaint, if the Commission considers that there is a real and substantial risk that any of those individuals will be subjected to threats, intimidation or discrimination. Secret courts, secret witnesses, secret complaints. A rival; an ex; a disgruntled former employee; or a political prankster. You can be sued forever, endlessly, and you won't even know by whom. You can be ordered to pay huge fines: (b) an order to pay compensation of not more than $20,000 to any victim personally identified in the communication that constituted the discriminatory practice But there's something in here even more amazing: "pre-crimes”. Like in the movie Minority Report. Even if you haven't done anything yet, you can still be prosecuted. I'm not kidding: Fear of hate propaganda offence or hate crime 810.012 (1) A person may, with the Attorney General's consent, lay an information before a provincial court judge if the person fears on reasonable grounds that an- other person will commit (a) an offence under section 318 or subsection 319(1) 5 or (2) (b) an offence under subsection 430(4.1); (c) an offence motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other similar factor. So even if someone hasn't broken the law yet, but you're afraid they might, you can go to court and strike first. And if a judge says your fear is reasonable, he'll lock up the person you're afraid of, even if that person hasn't done anything, doesn't do anything, or won't ever do anything. He'll issue an order against him. Do you think this just might, maybe, be abused? Getting your opponents locked up, even before they say anything? You can be put under house arrest, with a curfew; have your firearms seized; have an ankle bracelet put on you; be banned from using drugs or booze; things that normally happen only to convicted criminals who actually did something. THE ONLINE HARMS ACT And they saved the worst for last — the Online Harms Act, which hasn't been introduced yet, or given a number. C-11 uses a slow and dumb bureaucracy called the CRTC. C-18 is the same. C-36 includes huge fines and jail time, but at least involves some judges. But none of that is tough enough and punitive for Trudeau. So his final bill, out of the four, creates a new Internet censorship office, with the Orwelling name of "Digital Safety Commissioner of Canada.” • The Act should provide for the establishment of the Digital Safety Commissioner, whose functions are to: • Oversee and improve online content moderation, by: • Administering and enforcing obligations; • Engaging with and considering the particular needs of and barriers faced by groups disproportionately affected by harmful online content such as women and girls, Indigenous Peoples, members of racialized communities and religious minorities and of LGBTQ2 and gender-diverse communities and persons with disabilities; and • Supporting platforms in reducing harmful content affecting peoples in Canada. • Engage in partnerships, education outreach activities, and research, to help fulfill the policy objectives of the Act. So an ultimate, unaccountable, hunter-killer to silence anything “harmful”. And by harmful, they mean whatever this censor doesn't like. Trudeau proposes extreme ideas like website takedowns within 24 hours — no time for any sort of hearing. If Trudeau or his team don't like something, they order a social media company to take it down, and it must come down within 24 hours. https://www.michaelgeist.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Twitter-Submission-Online-Harms-Consultation. Twitter's response to this — and let me emphasize, this is from before Elon Musk took over Twitter. So this was when Twitter was pretty pro-censorship itself. Twitter wrote a private memo to Trudeau, warning that this is literally the stuff that North Korea does — they made that comparison: ISSUE: 24-HOUR TAKEDOWN REQUIREMENTS Twitter opposes the recommendation of a time limit on “addressing” any content “flagged” by any person in Canada as “harmful” content. • The proposed time limit does not allow for judicious, thoughtful analysis in a manner that balances the right to freedom of expression in Canada with the right to freedom from discrimination and prejudice. • According to existing research and analysis, the proposed system has a high probability of negatively impacting marginalized, racialized and intersectional groups. More information from Prof. Suzie Dunn at Dalhousie University can be found here. • The 24-hour proposal should be abandoned. Content should be addressed as quickly and as possible and within the scope of existing Canadian jurisprudence, terms of service and rules by the online communication service providers. • Further, any standard applied in the digital world should also be applied in real life. For example, law enforcement should be required to both launch an investigation within 24 hours of “flagging” as well as remove any hateful content - graffiti on a statue for example - that appears within 24 hours across the country. And here's Twitter comparing Trudeau's proposal to China: • ISSUE: WEBSITE BLOCKING The proposal by the government of Canada to allow the Digital Safety Commissioner to block websites is drastic. People around the world have been blocked from accessing Twitter and other services in a similar manner as the one proposed by Canada by multiple authoritarian governments (China, North Korea, and Iran for example) under the false guise of ‘online safety,' impeding peoples' rights to access information online. CONCLUSION Four bills. Falling like dominos. C-11, C-18, C-36 and the Online Harms Act. Each one building on the other, to build a censorship regime whose only comparison is places like North Korea. Trudeau has the support of the NDP, so these simply will become the law. And it's not like any of the mainstream media are actively opposing them — the opposite; they're excited about Trudeau forcing Big Tech to pay them money for links. The media have been bought off, again. Canada is in trouble, and the watchdogs who are supposed to be on guard are all sleeping. I promise that we hear at Rebel News will do what we can. And I see that as three things. Keeping you up to date on the state of censorship in Canada. So, reporting the news — say, have you heard about all of this from the CBC state broadcaster? Yeah, I didn't think so. Making the arguments for why this is morally wrong, legally wrong, impractical and downright unCanadian. So, giving you the facts, and the arguments. What Rebel News does best: actually fighting the good fight. All week I have been speaking with constitutional lawyers about how to fight this censorship onslaught. In court. Because if we don't, who will? I have commissioned an expert litigation law firm to prepare to fight these bills in court. In fact, they are working on the lawsuit already; we're not even waiting for the bills to be officially proclaimed — we're working on it now. We will sue Trudeau in court — and hold him to the Charter of Rights. I know it's a long shot. We'll be outspent ten two one. They will have a swarm of lawyers there to fight against us. But we can win. I know, because we've beaten him twice, on censorship battles. In 2019, he banned us from attending the election debates — we took him to court and won. He tried again in 2021. That time he banned us, and when we sued him, he literally had seven government lawyers against us. But we won again. Twice we beat him. Against all odds. Maybe there's some hope left. This is the battle of 2023. What the trucker convoy was last year, the Internet battle is this year. Help us if you can — learn the facts, learn the arguments, and then help us take this Castro mini-me to court.

Rowling's new book and Jesse's heaving knockers, Jesse tells Katie about a New York Times article which attempts to partially pin the blame for the travails experienced by the Women's March — a super competent, super well-run organization that has never generated any controversies — on *RUSSIAN TROLLS*.
