Houthis & China, postal strikes, Helen Grus sues the crap out of CBC at last and more: Links 1 for January 11, 2025

New intel on the Crosses of Matamoros: It seems the US postal workers, possibly out of sympathy for the striking Canadian postal workers, were not taking or sending mail to or from Canada. They are now though. So those of you in the US who ordered a Cross, can expect it at some point soonish. Thank you all for your patience. And at least it’s good to have an explanation.

1. There is speculation that Trump is talking about annexing Canada and other territories to create a bargaining position with China and their grab of Hong Kong. Maybe. But it feels more serious than just that.
It appears China is equipping the Houthis with weapons in exchange for safe passage for their ships through the Gulf. If that’s the case, then Trump may actually be thinking in broader geopolitical goals and wants to reposition the US for dominance again.

China helping Houthis obtain weapons for unmolested Red Sea passage

A secret collaboration between Beijing and the Houthis has been uncovered, revealing a vast network of supply of sophisticated armaments that threatens the stability of the Red Sea. According to American intelligence sources speaking to i24NEWS, the Iran-backed Yemeni terror group is using Chinese-made weapons in their attacks, in exchange for immunity for ships flying the Chinese flag.

US intelligence services have identified a complex supply chain set up by the Houthis in China since the beginning of the attacks in the Red Sea. This network allows them to acquire advanced components and guidance equipment for their ballistic and cruise missiles.

Even more worrying, Houthi leaders are reportedly planning to manufacture hundreds of cruise missiles capable of striking Persian Gulf states, using these same Chinese components. Washington has repeatedly passed on this information to Beijing since September, including detailed lists of Chinese companies involved in this arms mechanism.

2. Now THIS feels like Christmas. Or it will when and if she wins.

Ottawa detective sues CBC for $875,000 over COVID vaccine investigation reporting

An Ottawa police detective who investigated potential links between COVID-19 vaccines and infant deaths has launched an $875,000 lawsuit against CBC.

She alleged the broadcaster conducted a malicious campaign against her through false reporting.

Det. Helen Grus, currently facing disciplinary action, filed the lawsuit in Ontario Superior Court last fall. 

The lawsuit comes from CBC articles published between March 2022 and December 2023, which she claims contained harmful and incorrect information from confidential sources within the Ottawa Police Service (OPS).

(The suit is being far too kind actually. The CBC acted in a manner that was intending to create an outcome that would destroy someone for investigating something that could cause the mRNA shots to come into disrepute. The CBC acted as a political weapon against Helen. This is pretty much all the CBC is at this point. But the Helen Grus case should be the great underlined example of it.)

3. For many years I have been trying to figure out the nature of an anti-Iranian regime opposition group called The Mujahideen e Kalk or MEK. I even met a guy who was a Canadian primary in this group many many years ago, but still couldn’t get a bead on them. They definitely seemed cult like, and they have a mysterious sort of major party-meeting every year in Paris. Tousi TV appears to have done the necessary analysis on them. The take away is, as it often is, “The enemy of my enemy is not my friend. Just my enemy’s enemy”.

For anyone interested in the geopolitics of Iran from the time of the communist-then-Islamic revolution to depose the Shaw, this is a must see video.

4. Remembering when Hillary Clinton suggested there had to be a formal deprogramming of dedicated followers of Donald Trump and the Make America Great Again movement. If Kamala had won, plans would be underway to do exactly this. Probably somewhat like Room 101 in 1984, but not as easy to accuse of crimes. Frankly, these plans are probably under way anyway. The question is if the current admin can find it and stop it.

This B!tcH says Trump supporters should be forced to have formal de programming.

What do you have to say to her?

5. A thread on the international Islamic terrorist and Manifest Destiny group, Hizb al-Tahir, who have a meeting coming up in Toronto somewhere soon.

Mazin Abdul-Adhim: The Hizb al-Tahr?r “Khal?fah” Propagandist Who Calls Young Canadian Muslims to the Destructive Path of the Khaw?rij 2025/01/04 Hizb ut-Tahrir, a revolutionary organisation banned throughout the Muslim world, was started by a Ba’thist Nationalist (Taqi al-Din al-Nabahani) and heavily influenced by the revivalists of the kharajite methodology in the 20th century,

Sayyid Qu?b and ?asan al-Banná (the Muslim Brotherhood). Their ideologies, often foreign to traditional Islamic values, amount to ex-communication (takf?r) of Muslim rulers, states and their subjects.

In Canada, under the leadership of a man named Mazin Abdul-Adhim, they continue to centre their call on “khil?fah” (Islamic rulership) around overthrowing governments and calling for bloodshed.

They often wrap these slogans in the ?ij?b of Quranic verses, fooling uneducated young Muslims with fiery rhetoric. Recently, they have created quite a stir (as is their way) by organising a khil?fah conference in…not Riyadh, not Islamabad, not Damascus, but Mississauga.

This has caught the attention of the media, various levels of government and beyond, leading to the cancellation of their venue. We warn our fellow Muslims in Canada against these types of events as they are rooted in emotional propaganda rather than authentic Islamic principles. Hizb ut-Tahrir possess several deviant beliefs that take them outside the fold of Ahl al-Sunnah.

They reject the concept of “Khabar al-???d” (singular narration) in ?Aq?dah, they dismiss authentic ?ad?ths in matters of belief such as the punishment of the grave, the Dajj?l, and the descent of the Messiah, which leads them astray from orthodox Islamic teachings. They also accuse Ahl al-Sunnah of being Jabariyyah in the matter of al-Qa??? wa-al-Qadr, misrepresenting the stance of Ahl al-Sunnah wa-al-?ad?th. Hizb ut-Tahrir also focus excessively on reviling the Muslim leaders and highlighting their supposed mishaps, diverting attention from the true Islamic approach to societal change, which is centered on calling people to taw??d and the Sunnah.

This group is known to follow the path of deviation and counted among the 72 sects threatened with the fire. They consistently demonstrate an alarming lack of understanding of the religion they claim to represent. May All?h rid us of their evils.

Our first encounter with one of their Canadian figureheads (Mazin Abdul-Adhim) occurred in 2012. He gatecrashed a lecture series organized by TROID in London, Ontario, seeking to sidetrack the discussion by making loud accusations against the guest speakers, hoping to derail the discussion towards his tahrir? principles. He was deftly handled by UK-based speakers Shaykh Ab? Khad?jah and Shaykh Ab? Iy??, diffusing his spectacle and refuting his claims.

When asked to name even a single book of ?aq?dah that he had studied, he was unable to provide an answer. His complete ignorance left him humiliated, and he scurried off like a rat exposed by the daylight. This incident serves as a clear example of the type of individuals Hizb at-Tahrir elevates to positions of leadership and influence.

Their da’wah is built not upon taw??d but upon empty slogans and emotional manipulation. Rather than calling to the Qur’?n and Sunnah upon the understanding of the Salaf, following the path of the Sa??bah who unanimously agreed against revolting against the Muslim ruler, instead, they lead their followers down the dangerous path of innovation and deviation, one that often ends with a youth in a bunker in the Middle East, dying for some power hungry, self-proclaimed khal?fah who wants to sit in the presidential palace on the blood of young Muslims. Such people (Khaw?rij), described in the prophetic narrations as the “dogs of Hellfire” bring harm to themselves and others by straying far from the path of truth.

This first post of the thread appears to rely on the moderate muslim fallacy. The fact is, Islamic Jihad is central to Islam, as is the concept of Hijra, or the constant escalation of degree of adherence to Islam, as well as the constant seeking of war with unbelievers to make their territory Islamic. So a lot of what is above should probably be ignored as the kind of pablum we hear from islamic apologists. A look at Islamic history and contemporary preaching along with their cannon of scripture is all you need to know what Islam is, and that isn’t very difficult. More difficult is for people to recognize within themselves, that different cultures actually are different, have different values at the most fundamental levels, and different ambitions. To make the point, anyone, literally anyone and everyone who says they believe in multiculturalism actually cannot even conceive of a culture other than their own. If they could, they wouldn’t be for it, because it cannot in vivo, actually exist at all.

Thank you all for checking out this site. More later, including the most frightening video I have seen out of the UK so far.
