Yet again, the government of Mark Carney acted like a vassal.
NEW: Canadian government officials sought approval from their American counterparts before releasing parts of a damning report about how the CIA resettled alleged Nazi war criminals in Canada, documents show.
The Americans seemingly did not approve, and Canada subsequently gave the U.S. a heads up when the Federal Court ordered that some previously secret parts of the report be released anyway. readthemaple.com/canada-soug…

Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.

On this day in 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis began after President JFK announced a blockade on Cuba🇨🇺, following the discovery of Soviet missile sites in the country.
The Soviet Union’s positioning of missiles was a direct response to US nuclear weapons being placed in Turkey and Italy, aimed at the USSR…
And the US’ failed CIA Bay of Pigs invasion, which was an embarrassing attempt at removing Fidel Castro from power.
For 13 days, the Soviet Union and the United States stood at the brink of nuclear Armageddon. Tense negotiations between General Secretary Nikita Khrushchev and President John F. Kennedy averted disaster, with the Soviet Union agreeing to remove its missiles from Cuba, while the US pledged to not invade Cuba and promised to remove its nuclear weapons from Turkey.
Arguably, the situation today is far worse than the Cuban Missile Crisis, and is a result of Washington’s and NATO’s hypocrisy.
The US took the world to the brink of nuclear war in 1962 over Soviet nuclear weapons being placed in Cuba…over the 21st Century, US and NATO nation troops and strike systems, sit on Russia’s borders. US nuclear weapons are stationed in Europe, aimed at Russia.
Not once have NATO leaders acknowledged that if the shoe were on the other foot, with Russia or China attempting to build a military presence in Mexico or Canada, the US would react with a ferocious military attack.
NATO weaponry is being fired deep into Russia via Washington’s proxy, Zelensky, a scenario that would have been unthinkable even at the height of the so-called Cold War. One strike causing a mass casualty event could start a NATO-Russia direct conflict.

The “Russia is waging a hybrid war on Europe” narrative clearly serves a variety of interests. For starters, it helps governments maintain support for an increasingly unpopular war in Ukraine and for a continental rearmament campaign that will require painful cuts to spending on other sectors. As a report by the Latvian Institute of International Affairs put it, the “nebulous tagline” of hybrid warfare would appear to be driven “by the need to goose flagging defense budgets and waning NATO cohesion.” It has worked: the drone panic has led to increased counter-drone spending at both the EU and NATO levels. Meanwhile, intelligence services have invoked the threat of sabotage to gain broader powers.
The specter of “Russian interference” also offers a broader authoritarian dividend, justifying everything from online censorship to the repression of dissent to election management — most egregiously in Romania, where an entire election was annulled because of an alleged Russian disinformation campaign for which no evidence of Russian involvement was ever provided. More recently, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, amid a push for greater EU ties, said it was “clear” that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum, without providing any evidence, even though several investigations have found little or no evidence to support this claim.
One may conclude that, to the extent that a “hybrid war” is being waged against Europe, it is being waged by the EU-NATO establishment itself against its own population, in the form of a prolonged campaign of psychological warfare aimed at inflating the Russian threat.

These days, barely a week goes by in Europe without a drone sighting, a fire or a power outage being blamed on Russia. We’re told that these incidents are all part of a relentless, and escalating, “hybrid war” that Moscow is waging against the continent.
But does the evidence support Western claims that Russia is engaged in a systematic hybrid war against Europe? As I argue in my first piece for @RStatecraft, not really.
Most claims of Russian involvement turned out to be establishment-amplified speculation that collapsed under basic scrutiny. In many cases, there is no evidence the incidents themselves actually even happened (drones supposedly swarming European airports, etc.).
So is this just a case of collective panic fuelled by click-addicted media? Or, given that the claims of a Russian “hybrid war” against Europe appear to rest on little more than propaganda, is there a concerted effort by the EU-NATO establishment to condition citizens to believe that Europe is under attack from Russia?
In Italy, the expression “strategy of tension” evokes a dark period, from the late 60s to the early 80s, in which intelligence services and secret paramilitary networks operating under NATO auspices inflated the terrorist threat to frighten the electorate, including by engaging in terrorist acts that in some cases were then blamed on the left. European leaders should be wary of reviving such a strategy.

This is exactly the way journalists should interview government officials when they spout blatant bullshit and refuse to answer the most basic questions.
The British PM claimed that Russia interfered in the Brexit vote, but his foreign minister can't and won't say how. Listen:
This was one of the most PAINFUL CAR CRASH interviews you’ll ever see with Labour foreign minister Stephen Doughty on @GMB about Andy Burnham saying Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum.
Susanna Reid grows increasingly frustrated as he refuses to answer her questions, and even Ed Balls eventually tears into him for the “embarrassing waffle”.
Doughty is asked again and again about the Prime Minister’s claims but he just keeps ignoring the questions and repeating the same empty line: that Russia has been attempting to interfere with our democratic processes for many years.
Susanna tries to force him onto the 2016 vote itself. She asks what Russia actually did, whether it influenced voters, and whether it affected the result. He refuses to give any specifics and just repeats the line.
When she asks “Why are you not getting into specifics when the Prime Minister has just got into the specifics?”, he claims Burnham was only speaking more broadly.
She keeps pressing. He keeps repeating the line like a robot. She asks if the Prime Minister was wrong.
Doughty: “The PM has been very clear about Russian attempts to interfere in our democratic processes.”
By now Susanna is openly angry and accuses him of “muddying the waters not clarifying them”.
He almost laughably says the same thing again. He isn’t listening. He might as well have come on just to read a statement.
Susanna points out that if the result of such a huge decision was influenced, the public deserves answers about what the interference actually was.
Doughty claims the PM only said “attempted to interfere”. Susanna cuts in immediately: “He doesn’t say ‘attempted to interfere!’”
They play Burnham’s actual comments. Doughty goes straight back to the identical line. Susanna tries one final time. Same response.
It is at this point that Ed Balls, clearly fed up, lays into him:
“This is EMBARRASSING. It’s really bad for politics when you just blatantly don’t answer the question on something so important and go back to a nonsensical line, which is contradicted by what the Prime Minister just said!”
He goes further: “Either answer Susanna’s question or just say I’m not going to. This waffle is embarrassing!”
Doughty: “It’s not waffle at all Ed!” Then repeats the line yet again.
It is waffle, and I never thought I’d say this but well done Ed Balls for bluntly calling him out. It was embarrassing.
Andy Burnham should never have said it. We’ve been through all this. Russia did not in any way, shape or form influence the outcome of that referendum. Dragging this nonsense back up is reckless and a disgrace.
Nothing wrong with asking questions. It's what the media should be doing, but doesn't.
The Canadian adminstration is OBSESSED with the proxy war in Ukraine.
They put out statement after statement regarding the war. And I read every single one of those damn things.
For months, they claimed they committed $22 billion in aid. Then, all of a sudden, it dropped to just $750 million.
Where did the missing $14.75 BILLION go?
Was it retracted, or was it gobbled up by corrupt kleptocrats?
I’ve sent a media inquiry to the Canadian foreign ministry to get answers. Inquiring minds want to know.

✅Turn your country into a battlefield for NATO’s proxy war against Russia.
✅Reduce your own people to slaves and disposable gladiators in someone else’s geopolitical Colosseum.
✅Make your country’s economic survival entirely dependent on Western donors' generosity.
And then have the audacity to whine when your sponsors suddenly develop a different appetite.
Who could possibly have seen that coming?
Betraying their estwhile "friends" and proxies didn't begin with Trump. Haven't you heard Kissinger's famous quote: 'to be America's enemy is dangerous, to be its friend is fatal'?
The most truth and relevance I’ve seen in a post this week.
Chrystia Freeland was on the Board of Trustees at the World Economic Forum.
She was installed as Justin Trudeau's "deputy prime minister" to be his handler because the Great Reset gang knew he was too stupid to get the job done.
She was the jackal behind the freezing of bank accounts and illegal seizure of assets during the Freedom Convoy, as is evident in her handwritten note to bank CEO's demanding it.
Now Freeland is an "economic advisor" to Zelenskyy in Ukraine.
Ukraine is a notoriously corrupt country known for sex trafficking and money laundering.
Mark Carney is godfather to Chrystia Freeland's son.
Mark Carney has devoted billions of Canadian tax dollars to Ukraine.
And Chrystia Freeland is right there on the other side "advising" the regime.
If Trump and the US are an unreliable boyfriend, then Canada is a psychopathic prostitute. Maybe that can be her next book.

In my latest article, I offer the most exhaustive critical analysis to date of the “Russian hybrid war” narrative.
What I show is that many of the most widely publicised cases of supposed Russian “hybrid warfare” — von der Leyen’s jammed plane, the Baltic cable cuts, the DHL crash in Vilnius, the Heathrow fire, the wave of drone sightings that swept Europe in the autumn of 2025, the Romanian TikTok campaign — turned out to be media-amplified speculation that collapsed under basic scrutiny. Yet almost every day, new claims are made – with little or no evidence ever provided.
Ultimately, serious scrutiny of the “Russian hybrid warfare” narrative can only lead to one disquieting conclusion. A “hybrid war” is indeed being waged against Europe — but it is being waged by the EU-NATO establishment itself, against its own population.
Europeans are being subjected to a sustained campaign of cognitive or psychological warfare aimed at conditioning them to believe that Europe is under attack from Russia, and that these hybrid attacks are a prelude to conventional hostilities — a claim for which, by and large, there is little or no proof. What the record points to, in fact, is a deliberate campaign of threat inflation in which governments, media outlets and defence-funded “think tanks” have colluded to instil a permanent sense of fear in the population, through relentless coverage of “incidents”, “attacks”, “sabotages” and “campaigns” that, in most cases, simply do not exist.

During the referendum in September 2022, I was already in Donetsk, and so during those 5 days I went to different regions of Donetsk, also Makeevka, Gorlovka, Mariupol.
I was not an election observer, I was there independently and moving around independently.
In the harder hit districts of Donetsk and Gorlovka, the words of people I spoke with were most impactful to me, people who had been under Ukrainian fire since 2014.
Western corporate media of course tried to claim the referendums were illegitimate and that people were “forced” to vote. The only truth in those claims is that the entity “forcing” them to vote was the Kiev regime. odysee.com/@EvaKareneBartlet…

TERRAMAR PROJECT VS OCEAN ENVOY
Diana Carney appears to be chummy with Ghislaine Maxwell. Mark Carney’s wife Diana Fox Carney lands Ocean Envoy role, admits PM gives her ‘special access’ like Maxwell hand with TerraMar project
Carney’s wife has been named Canada’s Ocean Envoy just days after publicly acknowledging that her husband’s position gives her access to people, conversations and opportunities unavailable to others.
Carney later pledged $82 million over five years to bolster ocean monitoring, including year-round observation.
Her new role comes shortly after Fox Carney publicly discussed the access afforded to her through her marriage to the prime minister, according to the National Post.
“I meet people and have access to conversations and things that I wouldn’t necessarily [have] if I didn’t have him,” Fox Carney said during an interview on The Honest Talk podcast earlier this month.
“I am very aware that there are opportunities for me now that other people don’t have,”
GHISLAINE MAXWELL
The TerraMar Project was a marine-conservation nonprofit founded in 2012 by Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s long-time associate and later-convicted co-conspirator in his sex-trafficking scheme.
Tax filings and investigative reporting say TerraMar paid out no grants between 2013 and 2017, carried unusually high overhead for a small charity, and relied on large loans from Maxwell to stay afloat.
Crime& Justice
TerraMar publicly announced it was shutting down on 12 July 2019, six days after federal prosecutors filed new sex-trafficking charges against Epstein in New York.
Friends and associates quoted in major press described TerraMar as a “reputation cleanser” for Maxwell as scrutiny of her relationship with Epstein increased, a characterization that reflects their opinion, not a court finding.
Emails released in “Epstein files” reporting show Maxwell promoting the TerraMar Project through the Clinton Global Initiative and other elite networks, in some cases using or appearing inside Epstein’s email ecosystem.
Public summaries of the House Oversight / Justice Department document releases reference TerraMar primarily as Maxwell’s ocean charity, not as a charged entity, and list it alongside other organizations linked to the wider Epstein scandal.
There is no public record that the TerraMar Project itself was charged with a crime, indicted in the Epstein or Maxwell prosecutions, or judicially found to have laundered money for Epstein. Federal investigators reportedly examined the charity after Epstein’s 2019 arrest, but no public charges followed.
Taken together, the documented connection is indirect but notable: TerraMar was Maxwell’s project, built and financed during the years she was closely tied to Epstein, promoted inside some of the same elite networks he used, and shut down immediately after his final arrest.
In pictures circulated on social media in January, Carney and his wife Diana were seen alongside Maxwell at the August 2013 Wilderness Music Festival in Oxfordshire, England.
He was seen wearing a big smile in one of the photos, while in another, he was crouching in the grass alongside the woman, who was later convicted for being a child sex trafficker.
Diana Carney also appeared to be chummy with Maxwell, seen walking alongside her in one photo. Per DailyMail
More corruption and nepotism; whether she directly earns a salary or profits in other ways is moot.
Total clown show.
Mark Carney announces his wife at the UN, who he appointed as Canada's first Ocean Envoy and will Chair the Our Ocean Conference, and $82M for UN ocean monitoring initiatives.
Carney's wife, who is unelected, will now have direct policy influence and will work on "ocean conservation and climate action".
Just the usual nepotism in the banana republic of Canada.

This is exactly what Europe’s Führers are leading us into. At some point, Russia won’t accept these NATO-manufactured drones striking its territory anymore and simply start blowing up the places where they are being manufactured. And the Europeans will cry like babies “unprovoked attack” when their factories go up in smoke and tell us that they told us so and demand that now everyone needs to join the war. Et voilà, it’s that easy. Fools!
Exactly this: NATO is systematically conducting actual bombing strikes deep inside Russia via its Ukrainian proxy, all while it desperately tries to convince Western publics that it is Russia that is threatening Europe through “hybrid warfare” — which generally means attacks no one can see but are totally-100%-trust us happening. When Russia actually decides to retaliate, NATO will argue it is entirely unprovoked and use it as confirmation that they were right all along. An insanely dangerous game.
