Canadian receives one-year jail sentence, lifetime firearms ban for setting church on fire

From LifeSiteNews
Jordan Willet was convicted of starting a blaze in February at Blessed Sacrament Parish in Regina, Saskatchewan.
A man who was charged with arson after trying to burn down a historic Catholic church earlier this year was handed only a one-year jail sentence for his crime but has also been banned from being able to possess firearms for life.
On April 9, a court sentenced Jordan Willet, 31, to 278 days in jail for intentionally or recklessly causing damage by fire or explosion to property and for not complying with a probation order. In February, LifeSiteNews reported that Willet had been arrested and charged with starting a fire at Blessed Sacrament Parish in Regina, Saskatchewan, on February 9.
He pleaded guilty to both charges and also received an 18-month probation sentence along with a lifetime firearm prohibition.
Over the weekend, Fr. James Hentges, the parish pastor, said he was “relieved he is in custody and is not a threat.”
The parish had posted footage of the February 9 attack on social media and put out a plea for anyone who had information on the event to report it to police.
The video footage of the attack, taken from a doorbell camera, shows Willet, in a mask, pouring fuel on the church before setting it on fire.
Fire investigators determined that the blaze was caused by a direct act of arson.
Since the spring of 2021, more than 100 churches, most of them Catholic, have been burned or vandalized across Canada. The attacks on the churches came shortly after the unconfirmed discovery of “unmarked graves” at now-closed residential schools once run by the Church in parts of the country.
In 2021 and 2022, the mainstream media ran with inflammatory and dubious claims that hundreds of children were buried and disregarded by Catholic priests and nuns who ran some of the schools.
Despite the church burnings, the federal government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has done nothing substantial to bring those responsible to justice or to stem the root cause of the burnings.
The claims, which were promoted by Trudeau among others, lack any physical evidence and were based solely on soil disturbances found via ground-penetrating radar.
In fact, in August 2023, one such site underwent a four-week excavation and yielded no remains.
Despite the lack of evidence, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and others have continued to push the narrative, even running a report recently that appeared to justify the dozens of attacks against Catholic churches.
In January, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre not only condemned the rash of church burnings in Canada but called out Trudeau for being silent on the matter.

Alberta calls for tough-on-crime approach from feds

Premier Danielle Smith and Minister of Justice and Attorney General Mickey Amery are demanding Ottawa get serious about drug crimes in Canada.
Premier Smith and Minister Amery have demanded Bill C-5 be repealed in its entirety and the federal government reintroduce mandatory minimum jail sentences for Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) offences. Alberta also calls on the federal government to rescind guidelines prepared by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada that direct federal prosecutors to divert drug cases away from the criminal justice system to pursue alternative measures and leave criminal prosecutions for only the most serious cases.
If the federal government does not immediately undertake these actions, Premier Smith and Minister Amery have asked for federal funding to enable the province to permanently take over all CDSA prosecutions.
“For years, Alberta’s government has urged the federal government to reverse their soft-on-crime policies which have allowed illegal drugs to flood our streets and for repeat offenders to prey on our most vulnerable. The federal government must act now and put an end to their insane policies. And if they refuse to, then they must allow the Province of Alberta to take over all prosecutions under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Let there be no mistake, Alberta’s government will find these dangerous criminals, prosecute them and keep them in jail where they belong.”
When the federal government passed Bill C-5, they further weakened the Canadian justice system and increased potential harm for Canadians by:
- Eliminating all mandatory minimum sentences of imprisonment for CDSA offences;
- Eliminating many mandatory minimum sentences for serious weapons and substance-related offences under the Criminal Code of Canada;
- Removing limitations placed on the use of conditional sentences;
- Forcing both police and prosecutors to first consider referring people to treatment and support programs rather than charging or prosecuting drug possession offences; and
- Continuing to emphasize an approach to drug possession that fails to address the death, disorder and victimization caused by the drug-crime nexus, by focusing narrowly on diversionary measures.
Under Bill C-5, law enforcement has lost the ability to effectively deal with serious crimes, lessening meaningful and impactful enforcement and prosecution. Drug dealers often face very limited consequences, with their charges dismissed or conditional sentences imposed. This allows these criminals to continue profiting from illegal activity while preying on vulnerable populations and worsening the drug crisis in Canada.
“Alberta is deeply concerned about the federal government’s failure to address the growing drug crisis in Canada. Federal prosecution directives and Bill C-5 have significantly weakened our justice system, allowing criminals and drug dealers to exploit loopholes while putting public safety and Canadian lives at risk. We demand immediate action to reverse these disastrous policies, prioritize the safety and well-being of Canadians, and restore Canada’s reputation on an international level.”
Issues with drugs and drug-related crimes continue to worsen in Canada, with drug trafficking often linked to other serious offences such as human trafficking, gun trafficking and money laundering. These concerns have also been underscored by the Trump Administration, which has called for Canada to secure the border to illegal migrant and drug activity. Alberta responded to that request by introducing a $29-million border plan to combat drug smuggling, gun trafficking and other illegal activities. The plan includes a new Sheriffs unit, a 51-officer Interdiction Patrol Team, four K-9 patrol teams, 10 weather surveillance drones and four narcotics analyzers to test for illicit drugs.

Murder of US Border Patrol agent linked to bizarre ‘antifascist trans terror cult’

From LifeSiteNews
The bizarre behavior and extreme violence and murders by the Zizian ‘trans terror cult’ raises questions about the role of opposite sex hormones treatment.
A complex cross-country story, mostly ignored by corporate media, has been exposed by investigative journalist Andy Ngo who has shown that a series of murders from coast to coast are likely connected to members of a bizarre “radical leftist trans militant cult.”
On January 20, Border Patrol Agent David Maland was shot to death during what started out as a routine traffic stop near the Canadian border in Vermont. That was the event that triggered the release of the research Ngo had collected concerning the “Ziz” cult.
An infographic included with Ngo’s excellent reporting for the New York Post provides the easiest means for understanding the who, what, when, and where of this convoluted story; a story where it’s difficult to ascertain even the sexes of the major players, and even more difficult to divine their motives. Ngo literally connected the dots for his readers.
Each of the Zizian cult members are reported to be highly educated, identify as transgender or non-binary, and have chosen to live on the fringes of society while building an arsenal of weapons for a not-yet-understood purpose.
Ngo also described the group as “highly educated trans vegan ‘rationalists’ who hold fringe, esoteric ideological beliefs about transhumanism and animal rights.”
It appears the Zizians had been preparing to incite terror, and were not above murdering anyone who they perceived as standing in their way.
According to Ngo, Agent Maland was shot and killed by Teresa “Milo” Consuelo Youngblut after she and “Zizian” compatriot Felix “Ophelia” Bauckholt were pulled over by Maland.
After Youngblut, age 22, shot and killed Maland, other law enforcement officers on the scene returned fire, fatally striking Bauckholt. Youngblut was taken into custody.
The guns used by Youngblut and Bauckholt were discovered to be owned by a person of interest in other murders, Jack LaSota – nicknamed “Ziz” – the trans leader of the eponymous cult. The FBI’s search of the duo’s Toyota Prius turned up guns, ammunition, and tactical gear including night-vision equipment and full-face respirators.
“Youngblut is a biological female who identifies as trans and lists having neo-pronouns as ‘xe/xem/xyrs’ on social media,” explained Ngo, adding that she “graduated from the prestigious and woke north Seattle private institution Lakeside School, which Bill Gates also attended.”
“Bauckholt was a biological male who identified as trans and used feminine pronouns,” wrote Ngo. “He was an award-winning youth math genius from Freiburg, Germany.”
Youngblut had planned to marry 22-year-old fellow Lakeside School alumnus Maximilian Bentley Snyder, “an ‘any pronouns’ computer science whiz from a wealthy Seattle family,” according to Ngo.
Snyder was arrested for killing 82-year-old Curtis Lind in Vallejo, California, presumably to keep him from testifying in court against members of the cult.
Lind had previously been seriously wounded by members of the Zizian cult who were squatting on his land after he tried to evict them.
During the attack, the cult members impaled Lind with a sword and repeatedly stabbed him, causing him to lose an eye, according to Ngo. “Lind shot two of the assailants, killing Amir ‘Emma’ Borhanian.”
In his LinkedIn profile, Snyder described himself as a “passionate scholar, data scientist, and creator” who attended Oxford University and was a National Merit Scholarship finalist.
Both Baukholt and Snyder will now face life in prison on murder charges.
Cult leader LaSota, a.k.a., “Ziz,” a transgender who calls himself “Andrea Phelps,” remains at large after attempting to fake his own death in 2022.
Michelle Zajko who identifies as non-binary, believed by police to have purchased the semi-automatic weapon used to kill Maland, is also wanted by law enforcement.
She has been identified as a person of interest in the New Year’s Eve 2022 murders of her parents in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and is believed to also have ties with the slaying of the elderly Lind.
“Two other alleged members of the cult, Suri Dao and Alexander ‘Somni’ Leatham, both transgender, have a trial in April for the attempted murder of Lind, causing the death of their comrade, and other felonies,” notes Ngo. “Both of them have tried to escape from custody and face other charges.”
That trial may not occur, since the only witness, Curtis Lind, is dead.
With a nationwide manhunt underway for at least two of the strange trans cult members who are in hiding, this story isn’t over.
As in other recent episodes of threats, violence, and mass killings by transgender individuals, the bizarre behavior and extreme violence and murders by Zizian cult members raises questions about the role of opposite sex hormone treatments.
