Unspeakable Terror, Unfathomable Treachery: Exposing The Despicables
What if they staged a war and nobody bought in? After Wag The Dog on #Covid19 vaccines, mass Rez school secret burials, #Russiagate, Hunter’s laptop, Nazis in Parliament and the Trucker Convoy you can appreciate that some in the population have Blockbuster! Story skepticism about the real story of the Hamas attack on Israel.
So good luck to the rulers and their Media Party selling a narrative on Gaza. If there is fatigue in the general population about another Blockbuster! then you own it. The one crystallizing aspect of horrific events such as this or 9/11 is the stripping away of the Mikado-like political phonies and exposure of the bias in your media. The faux-experts in academia find their dialectical materialism diatribes blown away like dandelions in the wind.
Hollywood leftists see their demands for measured justice rendered absurd. And the virulent radicals in organized labour confirm all the suspicions about their use of members’ dues to excuse the behaviours of scoundrels. For this service, some small measure of thanks.
While nothing assuages the brutal loss of life in Israel and Gaza we do have a clearer picture of the people— official or not—who now infest our communities with their anti-colonist clap-trap.. (FFS, the Israelis are indigenous to the area and can show it goes back 3000 years.) People who danced in the streets of Arab cities after 9/11 are now dancing in the streets on Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Edmonton. Our PM harvested this sociopathy from abroad, and now we reap the whirlwind at home.
And, gosh darnit, the purchased media is trying hard to keep the lid on his Pandora’s box of despicables who walk among us. “Do not refer to militants, soldiers or anyone else as ‘terrorists.” CBC’s director of journalistic standards, George Achi, wrote in an email to employees on Saturday. “The notion of terrorism remains heavily politicized and is part of the story.” (BTW The Canadian government classifies Hamas as a terrorist organization.)
This laughable prohibition comes from the same network whose staff regurgitated PMJT’s claims of Nazis, Putin stooges and the “far-right” among the Truckers Convoy. They won’t use the term “terrorists” because it’s “political”, but “far right” apparently is GoodThink.
Outsiders noticed the double standard at work. @AnnCoulter “When Muslims in Canada drove their trucks through the streets, celebrating the slaughter in Israel, you figure Justin Trudeau froze any of their Bank accounts?” Trudeau, BTW, delayed any statement condemning Hamas 48 hours till Monday, sending his staff to explain— falsely— that the CDN embassy in Tel Aviv was functioning for citizens stranded in Israel, when, in fact, it was “operational”, whatever that means.
By the time Trudeau finally spoke up the leaders of France, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States had already expressed support for Israel and condemned Hamas for “its appalling acts of terrorism.” Canada was not included in the statement. Gee, wonder why? Could it be Skippy is passé with the heavy hitters?
Meanwhile out-of-her-depth Foreign Affairs minster Melanie Joly declined to say whether Canada would support Israel’s full retaliation against Hamas. But did say Canada will keep sending millions in “humanitarian” money to Gaza, as if Hamas won’t abscond with it.
All this gibberish was set against rationales for brutality from the fashionable Left. Mohammed El-Kurd, the Palestine correspondent for The Nation, stated: “What is happening in occupied Palestine is a response to weeks and months and years of daily military invasions into Palestinian towns, killings of Palestinians, and the very fact that millions of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are besieged under Israeli blockade.” Yadda yadda.
There was a predictable rush among Canadian politicians to placate the Hamas apologists and equivocate the slaughter by demanding the attackers’ feelings be considered equally. The mayor of Canada’s largest city tried to work the word-salad dance, condemning Hamas, then including them as a victim , then sorta’ condemning them while saying, “My earlier tweets on this have been deleted because of the harm and confusion they caused.” (Confusion? Really?) All in the space of a few hours on the weekend. Now that’s leadership.
Across leftist media Woke voices sought to diminish the horror with vanilla equivocations. The same networks that leapt instantly on the George Floyd death, inflaming passions with false reporting and hagiographic distortions of the death of the convicted felon— and who then stood aside as rioters and looters burned American cities in “mostly peaceful” demonstrations— suddenly took a “bothsiderist” approach .
The polite liberal shuffling of media feet on Hamas was reminiscent of the famous 1991 SNL skit where Phil Hartman is a newspaper editor struggling to convince the rest of the staff to put Pearl Harbour on the front page of their paper. Meanwhile, Star Trek relic George Takei turned his light saber on Israel. “The Israeli government has cut off food, water, and fuel to 2 million people inside Gaza. Collective punishment is not only contrary to international law, it is inhumane and illogical. How will this deescalate the violence rather than radicalize many more? It is madness.”
Prompting @BecketAdams to note, “after 4-5 years of U.S. media personalities condemning “bothsiderism” in Trump coverage, we’re inundated now with point/counterpoint commentary where the topics are like, “Is it wrong to rape and murder Jews?” and “Terrorists: do they have a point?”
Peter Savodnik on USSA News targeted the “ersatz activists of Hollywood and Silicon Valley” like Takei. “People who turned the Ukrainian flag into their avatars, those who worry about misgendering and triggering and safe spaces, those who insist words are violence (those for whom violence is apparently not violence)—they’re busy ignoring all this.”
Perhaps most shocking to Canadians was the full-throated braying of support for Hamas from organized labour leaders. The staff union at McMaster University was succinct, “Palestine is rising, long live the resistance.” CUPE’s Fred Hahn was similarly unrepentant. “As we all think about reasons to be thankful this #thanksgiving2023, I know I’m thankful for the power of workers, the power of resistance around the globe. Because #Resistance is fruitful and no matter what some might say, #Resistance brings progress, and for that, I’m thankful.”
(After taking incoming for three days, CUPE came up with “@cupenat CUPE grieves the loss of life brought by the recent escalation of violence in Israel and Palestine. We recognize that many Canadians are terrified for their loved ones and we offer heartfelt condolences to all affected families and communities.”)
Well, when you put it that way! Even at the depths of WW II when the Nazis were committing unspeakable crimes, no one from the U.S., UK, Canada or Australia wildly cheered and encouraged the rape, kidnapping and murder of German citizens by Allied soldiers. Those crimes could get soldiers executed. The Soviets? That was a different story. @FredHahnCUPE is the Red Army.
Don’t believe the faux contritions. CUPE and their union pals will go to their graves believing this poison of victimhood. They will not respond to logic, cajoling or emojis. The only course of action is to identify them, isolate them and remove their financial support till they recant or expire.
This utter leftist defeatism of Trudeau/ Obama Nation is becoming clear once again: “It was around this time in the Obama Admin that all the world watched with horror as ISIS burned people alive while Obama focused more on calling them ISIL. And everyone in the media wrung their hands and said gosh- golly I wish we could do something. Michelle held a sign, made a sad face, and posted on Social. That was it. We’re powerless. We lose.” —Daniel Turner.
We are back there again. It will only get worse as Israel goes street by street in Gaza. Expect the sob sisters of journalism to describe it as being like the Warsaw ghetto with Israelis as Nazis and Hamas as the Polish underground. They have friends to protect. Why should they finally get history correct now?

Breaking: Drs. Bonnie Henry and Theresa Tam have been appointed to the Order of Canada in recognition of their role in the country’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
And so the game of covid liar’s poker has more winners. It’s like awarding the captain of the Titanic the Nobel Prize for his work on floatation. As we now know these two— and the other WHO finger puppets in Canada— made the Covid 19 episode worse, not better, with their prescription for panic, positives and punishment. Even as they knew the truth about the limits of the virus and the efficacy of vaccines they continued to spew fallacious PCR data on the extent of the sickness and who was at risk.
Put simply, to protect vulnerable seniors they said kids were also at great risk. Which was unconscionable.
In this they encouraged Justin Trudeau in his worst instincts, combining his father’s insouciant disregard for civil rights (sending in the police) with his mother’s mental stability. Propped up by Team Tam and its U.S. allies such as Anthony Fauci, this hysteria peaked with a sequestered PM crushing the Truckers Convoy’s vaccine protest with emergency measures and destruction of civil liberties.
Lest you wonder, this overreach was recognized at the time. Justice Maclean wrote at the trial of Convoy organizers, “Defendants & other persons remain at liberty to engage in a peaceful, lawful & safe protest”. On Feb. 16, he continued a no-honking order, again writing: “Defendants & other persons remain at liberty to engage in a peaceful, lawful & safe protest.”
The leaders of the Convoy, lynched by Canadian media’s phoney claims of right-wing American interference, are still fighting jail time on charges of nuisance. While violent criminals are routinely released on bail or absolved.
Justice Richard Mosley later concluded that while the convoy was a disruption of public order, it didn’t constitute a national emergency and invoking the act “does not bear the hallmarks of reasonableness — justification, transparency and intelligibility.” But in real time Team Tam made no attempts to correct the wilder misgivings about Covid (lockdowns, mandatory vaccines). Trudeau was given a hall pass. Needless to say the purchased media made things infinitely worse regurgitating these mistakes.
In short, they knew better but hid the truth. But why pick on Henry and Tam? Under Trudeau and his wingman Jagmeet Singh this was the golden age of lies and prevarications in Canada and the U.S. No apologies were ever offered when the truth emerged.
As we’ve noted before, Trudeau cried with a teddy bear carefully positioned over 751 alleged unmarked graves in a known Catholic cemetery that the local Cowessess band abandoned. The Liberal government knew the claim of 215 “children’s graves” was false, and still ran with it to get Trudeau his photo-op. Naturally the CBC Media Party played (and still plays) accomplice in this farce as the Canadian flag was lowered to half-mast for six months and Trudeau ratted out Canada at the UN as a genocidal state.
There were more, plenty more Trudeau scandals that media endorsed and then stood by even as the truth was revealed. SNC Lavalin. We Charity. Arrive Can app. Firing indigenous justice minister. Chinese drug infiltration/ money laundering. Nazi Celebrated in Parliament. Welcome To Canada immigration. Nova Scotia massacre. McKinsey Consultation. Blackface. And so on.
And were there apologies when it came time to make the Trudeau Liberals accountable? No, they staged a media circus over Donald Trump’s assertion of 51st state. All the fake news and deliberate lies went poof, allowing Mark Carney to seamlessly assume the PM job.
Lest We Forget Pt. 2 it was not exclusive to Canada. As we are now learning: Barack Obama and Joe Biden sat in an August 3, 2016 Situation Room briefing and said, yeah, let the highest officials in our administration fabricate evidence to frame the opposing party candidate Donald Trump. Obama. Biden. Comey. McCabe. Strzok. Page. Rice. Etc.
Knowingly using the faked Clinton campaign ‘Steele Dossier’ hoax, they launched a federal investigation into the Trump presidential campaign that lasted three years after Trump was sworn in as the nation’s 45th President. Arresting and jailing his partners and colleagues. Inventing fake stories for their media enablers. Let’s repeat that. Saint Obama knew there was criminal activity in the process but let his henchmen try to fix an election.
And when the ruse was uncovered no one apologized. No one in authority was fired or jailed. The Pulitzer Prizes awarded to the NT Times and Washington Post for disseminating the DEMs scandal were not rescinded. Nor were they given back by the lying newspapers.
The concerted frauds of the same U.S. DOJ, FBI and State Departments were fed by media and accepted by gullible publics in Canada and America. The fantastical 2020 election results were likewise drummed into the public irrespective of the sudden “appearance” of 27 million new votes during a pandemic.
It was all a fitting preamble to the 2020-2024 Biden senility scandal with Democrats running a man they knew was in full dementia. In the 2020 election Biden was hidden from public view, the better to let media attack Trump for spurious charges launched by partisan DNC attorneys in Georgia, New York and DC. Even then it took the suppression of Hunter Biden’s incriminating laptop just prior to the election to get his father elected.
The dance of denial continued in Biden’s term as he physically and mentally deteriorated before the American public. But inquiries about who was running the government if not Biden were harshly suppressed. Media lackeys noted he was sharp as a tack mentally and in tip-top physical condition when he wasn’t falling down stairs.
It took the stunning 2024 debate debacle with Trump to strip away the lies about Biden’s health, now said to be advanced prostate cancer and Parkinson’s. The media, caught in their own lies about Biden’s condition, offered no apologies and tried to blame Biden’s stutter for the performance.. Right.
These were the two greatest U.S. hoaxes from people who’d cried hoax incessantly. They were hardly the only abuse of public trust. Some of the perpetrators are said to now be under investigation— even as they hand out awards to each other. The media’s credibility is shattered and yet they still blame others. Jaded voters are taking a “we’ll see” approach. But expectations of any change in DC or Ottawa are limited.
As Stephen Taylor posted on X: “Turns out for Liberals, ‘elbows up’ just means ‘noses up’ like it always has.”

This past week has seen (some) Canadians celebrating their heritage— now that Mike Myers has officially reinterpreted Canadian culture as a hockey sweater and Mr. Dressup. This quick-change was so popular that Canadian voters even forgot an entire decade of Justin Trudeau.
In the United States, the people who elected Donald Trump– and not Andrew Coyne– to run their nation celebrated Independence Day with stirring renditions off The Star Spangled Banner, although few could surpass the brilliant performance of the song by the late Whitney Houston at the 1991 Super Bowl.
The CDN equivalent is some flavour of the month changing the words to O Canada at the Grey Cup game. Canada’s national anthem has always been open to interpretation by people who may or may not have Canada in their hearts. At the 2023 NBA All Star Game Canadian chanteuse Jully Black became the latest singer to attempt a manicure to the English lyrics of O Canada, penned for the 1880 Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day ceremony ( Calixa Lavallée composed the music, after which words were written by the poet and judge Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. The English lyrics have “evolved” over the years, just like the dress code for the CDN PM..)
Black amended the first line from “our home and native land” to our home ON native land”. Because something-something. But this creative license is nothing new. Unlike Chris Stapleton, Marvin Gaye or Whitney Houston with the Star Spangled Banner, interpreters of O Canada have seen fit to amend the lyrics to their sensibilities. Roger Doucet, famed anthem singer of the Montreal Canadiens in the 1970-80s, tried to add the words “we stand on guard for truth and liberty” in place of the first “we stand on guard for thee”.
In 1990, having nothing better to do, Toronto City Council voted 12 to 7 in favour of recommending that the phrase “our home and native land” be changed to “our home and cherished land” and that “in all thy sons command” be partly reverted to “in all of us command”. (The latter was officially adapted.)
While those attempts had mixed outcomes it appears it’s just a matter of time till Ms. Black’s class-conscious culling of the words is accepted. Being generous we here at IDLM thought we’d short-circuit piecemeal attempts to create a throughly Woke version of the anthem that would last till the latest fad come along. Herewith our 2023 definitive O Canada that even— maybe only— Justin Trudeau could love:
“O Canada” (Ignores the French fact in our culture) Change to “Eau Canada”
“Our home on native land” (ignores indigenous land claims) Change to “Get off our land, settlers”
“True patriot love in all of us commands” (Only true patriot love? There were officially 78 kinds of relationships in Trudeaupia. And commanding love?) Change to “Love the one you’re with”.
“With glowing hearts we see thee rise” (rise suggests triumph of white triumphalist dogma) Change to “Non judgementally we oppose the crushing impacts of Euro-based autocracy”
“The true north strong and free” (How can anyone be strong or free when we support America’s killing fields?) Change to “Heteronormative thinking must be stamped out at our borders. If we even have borders anymore.”
“From far and wide” (Body shaming) Change to “Obesity is a disease that is not helped by putting it in the national anthem.”
“O Canada” (biased against A, B, AB blood types) change to “Science Must Be Believed”
“We stand on guard for thee” (Spreads hate against the non ableist community) Change to “Please remain seated.”
“God keep our land” (God? God? What is this, the Reformation) “Change to “It’s your thing”
”Glorious and free” (Glorious harkens to the bourgeois subjugation of Indigenous thought processes by white Christian priests) Change to “A genocidal state if there ever was one”.
“O Canada we stand on guard for thee/
O Canada we stand on guard for thee” The denial of trans rights is used twice here to emphasize the intolerable burdens faced by people of the LGBTQ2R community as they seek respect and compensation for the evils of the founding oppressors.) Change to “Eau Canada, after 6.5 hours of intensive lectures on the gender, race and dissociative application of class war on your citizens you may someday come to understand that this song is a manifestation of your bigotry and exploitation of minorities— and why rhyming lines like “thee and free” is the work of the devil or J.K. Rowling, whomever comes to mind first.”
There. That wasn’t so tough, was it? Flows trippingly off the tongue like Mark Carney refusing a special inquiry into China buying the electoral process. Or perhaps we should simply accept a literal translation of the original French lyrics:
“O Canada!
Land of our ancestors
Glorious deeds circle your brow
For your arm knows how to wield the sword
Your arm knows how to carry the cross;
Your history is an epic
Of brilliant deeds
And your valour steeped in faith
Will protect our homes and our rights.”
Yikes. That’s downright fascistic. But it’s Quebec, and we have to allow them their peccadilloes. So circle your brow with glorious deeds, grab a cross and a sword and valour steeped in faith. And remember we must be adaptable in the new era.
Unless it’s Alberta using the adapting to fuel its CO2-belching machines. In which case it’s man the battlements and follow Mike Myers into the fight.
