National Post- Radical Islam’s western fangirls

It seems Hamas knew their female audience, too. One of the striking features about Hamas’s useful-idiot entourage is the robust support it enjoys from progressive women, in glaring contrast to the robust revulsion that should have prevailed among feminists.

Some women have publicly denied the vicious sexual torture inflicted on Israeli women, or shrugged it off as a sidebar to the sacred mission of “resistance.” This, they parrot, may entail “any means necessary,” including the degradation of women for no purpose other than malicious male pleasure. Evidence of western women’s indifference to Israeli women’s victimhood can be found in the fact that UN Women waited for months after the pogrom before condemning the rapes or Hamas.

The Critic- You are being nudged

A major source of this psychological manipulation is state-funded behavioural science, a discipline dedicated to strategically reconfiguring our physical, social and informational environments — by deployment of “nudges” — so as to increase the likelihood that we do the “right” thing. A nudge is a method of persuasion that often achieves its impact below the target’s level of conscious awareness, thereby providing a “low cost, low pain” way of inducing new ways of behaving “by going with the grain of how we think and act” (MINDSPACE, 2010). These strategies of influence exploit the fact that human beings operate almost all of the time on autopilot, making moment-by-moment decisions without conscious reflection and relying on imperfect heuristics to navigate the complexities of the world around them.

Telegraph- The radical new Dutch government is the canary in the EU coal mine

It will scrap many of the net zero policies. It will cut taxes for business. It will put limits on net migration, it will switch to nuclear power, and it will make sure farming receives the support it needs.

Details are still emerging of the programme of the new coalition government assembled by the leader of the Freedom party Geert Wilders following his surprise victory in the elections last year.

One point is already certain, however. Wilders will issue a radical challenge to the ruling orthodoxies of the European Union, and indeed of the big state, high tax policies across most of the developed world.

Telegraph- Europe’s right-wing revolt has begun – only Britain will miss out

The Netherlands is just the most recent example of this kind of movement. The size of the populist upsurge and its spread across most of the EU will almost certainly be confirmed in the European Parliament elections in June. According to polls, Right populist parties will make gains in every country, at the expense of Greens and the Left. They are projected to come first in nine countries (Austria, Belgium, Czechia, France, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, and Slovakia) and come second or third in another nine (Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Portugal, Romania, Spain, and Sweden).

Daily Sceptic- ‘Global Majority’ is Just Anti-White Propaganda

This phrase is a fancy way of referring to all the non-white people in the world, and then arbitrarily lumping them together into one giant, supposedly homogenous whole as representing around 85% of the planet’s population – in direct opposition to white folk, who make up only under 10% of all the world’s people. (I don’t know what’s happened to the missing few percentile of humans there, by the way: maybe they’re just unacceptably ‘white adjacent’, like Jews or Moomins?)

Oops.

Major EU ports are almost full to capacity with Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) that no one wants to buy. A slump in sales across Europe has caused parking lots at the Belgian ports of Antwerp and Zeebrugge to fill up with the Chinese imports.

The parking lots are each able to accommodate about 130,000 vehicles and are crammed full of MGs, BYDs, Nios, XPengs, Lynk & Cos, Omodas and Hongqis, among others.

Chinese EV companies have aggressively targeted European markets as they look to take advantage of the EU’s green agenda.

Toronto Star- Patients are ‘routinely’ being diagnosed with cancer in busy Canadian emergency rooms

On a recent 12-hour shift, Dr. Kyle Vojdani diagnosed three patients with cancer.
Like most evenings, it was busy in Michael Garron Hospital’s emergency department:

A crowd of patients waiting to be seen. Physicians and nurses rushing between cases. Sick patients, some critical, waiting in hallways for a hospital bed.

Amid the bustle, Vojdani, chief and medical director of the department, had to find the time — and the words — to tell each of the three that their tests pointed to cancer.

Stranding Capital

Alternative Subsidy Climate Cult Gradually Then Suddenly It's Probably Nothing 5 Comments

The worst aspect of central planning is not just that it misallocates capital, but that it actively destroys it. Centrally planned economies, from the Soviet Union on down, remain littered to this day with stranded assets existing in a largely unrecoverable state. EV subsidies are doing the same thing by wrecking the profitability of companies trying to cash in on such schemes.

The energy unit of Panasonic Holdings missed its operating profit guidance for the past business year due to lower electric vehicle (EV) battery production in Japan and a fall in sales of consumer products, the company said on Thursday.

Operating income for the key segment, which makes batteries for Tesla and other automakers, totaled ¥88.8 billion ($570.18 million) in the year that ended in March, missing its own ¥113 billion forecast, Panasonic said.
