The Liberals, headed by Trudeau, have not been doing so hot lately. Polls have been rather poor, showing the party far behind the Conservatives, and the Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland (an outspoken apologist for Ukrainian Nazis) resigned recently, with more MPs following her lead. Trump’s return to power has shaken the Canadian establishment due to his threats to impose massive tariffs on Mexico and Canada, which will have substantial economic consequences given that Canada sends most of its exports to the US, compounding the economic malaise that has affected most of the world over the last few years.

With all this bad news, there are rumors and reports that Trudeau will soon resign, ending his nine years of rule. His fall would be yet another casualty in the wave of incumbent parties falling across the imperial core, only to be replaced by more conservative parties that have very similar policies but wish to cast all blame and hardship onto minorities.

Israel-Palestine Conflict

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Sources:

Defense Politics Asia’s youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don’t want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it’s just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists’ side.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

    General who led 2009 coup d’état arrested in Honduras. The former head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Honduras, General Romeo Vásquez, was arrested Sunday as allegedly responsible for the murder of a protester by military officers in 2009, days after leading the coup against former President Manuel Zelaya (2006-2009).

    Article

    The deputy chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Venancio Cervantes, and the former commander of the Joint Operations Command, Carlos Puerto, both arrested along with Vásquez, will also go to prison. They will be held in the Támara National Penitentiary, 27 kilometers northwest of Tegucigalpa, until January 10, when the first trial hearing is scheduled, the authorities said.

    The ex-military men were arrested by a strong police contingent on Sunday morning in Tegucigalpa and La Paz (west) and taken to a capital court, where for hours their statements were taken as defendants “for allegedly being responsible for the crimes of homicide and serious injury”. The charges stem from an armed attack on demonstrators near Toncontín airport in Tegucigalpa on July 5, 2009, the Public Prosecutor’s Office said. The demonstrators were awaiting Zelaya’s return from Nicaragua after he was taken at gunpoint from his home in Tegucigalpa in the early hours of June 28 of that year by around 200 soldiers who handcuffed him and took him to the airport, where he was put on a plane bound for Costa Rica.

    “Elements of the Armed Forces” acted ‘disproportionately’ and fired at the demonstrators with M16 rifles ‘indiscriminately’, the Public Prosecutor’s Office said in its request. Obed Murillo died of a gunshot wound to the head, while Alex Zavala was seriously injured. Shortly before his arrest in the morning, Vásquez published two texts on the X network in which he denied the accusations against him and accused the government of leftist Xiomara Castro, Zelaya’s wife, of “political persecution” and “manipulation of power”. “They won’t be able to silence me! I never gave the order to attack any Honduran,” he added in his latest publication. Since he arrived heavily guarded by the Special Police Forces at the Tegucigalpa Criminal Court, supporters and detractors of the accused have begun to gather at the gates of the court.
