Several Catholic schools in Ontario in Canada have canceled performances of a children's play about a boy who cross-dresses, drawing accusations of transphobia in the liberal province. Performances of the play that explores gender identity were suddenly called off by six elementary schools - five of them with Catholic affiliations - over the last week or so, according to the theater company behind the show. "Boys, Girls, And Other Mythological Creatures" tells the story of 8-year-old Simon, who dreams of becoming a princess and feels boxed in gender stereotypes. Several parents complained about the content of the play being inappropriate at a recent public meeting, said ...

French centrist Emmanuel Macron sought to cement his frontrunner status Friday on the last day of campaigning for the weekend's election run-off after a bruising and divisive race. Pro-European Macron and far-right anti-immigration candidate Marine Le Pen have offered starkly different visions for France during a campaign that has been closely watched in Europe and the rest of the world. At the end of a battle that has only increased in intensity in the final days, both candidates made final campaign appearances and toured radio and TV stations. Macron was visiting the southwest city of Rodez while Le Pen headed for Reims in northern France as they sought to win over voters before ...

World Press Freedom Day, celebrated May 3, stemmed from the necessity to admonish governments the world over a free media acts as a barometer of the health of a nation — insofar as wrongdoing, exposed, can’t continue unnoticed — but today’s celebration has been severely tempered by a decline in the rights of journalists. In the one nation which should be considered a bastion of press freedom — enshrined expressly in its storied Constitution — the dogged pursuit of governmental transparency in living up to the journalist’s duty to act as watchdog of the State will instead emblazon a permanent target for prosecution. Or worse. Wikileaks, itinerant ...

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte follows prohibitionist logic to its deadly conclusion.The masked gunmen came for Paquito Mejos, a 53-year-old electrician and father of five, two days after he had surrendered to police in Manila, identifying himself as an occasional user of methamphetamine, known locally as shabu. Police, who arrived shortly after Mejos had been shot dead, later claimed he was a drug dealer who drew a gun on them. Relatives say the cops planted the gun, along with a packet of shabu.This is what Rodrigo Duterte's murderous war on drugs looks like, which is why his critics were dismayed that Donald Trump seemed to bless it during a "very friendly" telephone ...

OPERATION Yewtree, the landmark British police investigation into sexual abuse allegations dating back decades, put some superstars behind bars: singer and TV star Rolf Harris, pop idol of yesteryear Gary Glitter and showbiz publicist Max Clifford. The reputation of deceased DJ and TV personality Jimmy Savile was destroyed by the shocking revelations that he was a sexual predator. Over in the US, actor Bill Cosby stands accused of dozens of rapes dating back to the ’60s. And now, on the desk of a Sea Point police detective lies a docket of a similar explosive nature. The investigation, which has the potential to send shock waves across the world, revolves around a child rape ...
Pope Francis Warns Against ‘Invasion’ of Libertarianism

Pope Francis had harsh words to describe libertarians Friday, saying they deny the value of the common good in favor of radical selfishness where only the individual matters. “I cannot fail to speak of the grave risks associated with the invasion of the positions of libertarian individualism at high strata of culture and in school and university education,” the Pope said in an message sent to members of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences meeting in the Vatican and subsequently shared with Breitbart News. “A common characteristic of this fallacious paradigm is that it minimizes the common good, that is the idea of ‘living well’ or the ‘good life’ in ...

Egypt: U.S. Troops Watch Islamic Terrorists Slaughter Christians

Egypt continues struggling in fighting against Islamic terrorism, with many jihadist attacks focused on Christians. Yet even as U.S. troops are stationed in the Sinai Peninsula, they do not assist Egyptian forces and instead watch the slaughter of Christians. Furthermore, no one has demanded that they stop the violence. And no one has accused the U.S. of being morally irresponsible for doing nothing. There’s a reason for this lack of action. But the lack of action also demonstrates how the U.S. has no obligation to stop every problem in the world — and that it has no desire to do so when Christians are the victims. Back in 2013, I forecasted that the U.S. intervening in Syria ...

Industry standards group ASTM adds pot to its portfolio. ASTM International Mark another milestone in the mainstreaming of marijuana: One of the world's largest and oldest organizations for developing technical standards is now making space for the pot business. The group is ASTM International, a hub of consensus-based self-regulation. Originally founded in 1898 to work out testing and material standards for the steel used on railroad lines, the organization soon branched out beyond steel, debating and adopting guidelines for cement, petroleum, rubber, and more than 100 other areas. As of June, when its cannabis committee first meets, those areas will include marijuana. Different ...

North Korea test-fired a ballistic missile on Saturday in local time, Korean news service Yonhap reported citing South Korea's military. A U.S. official confirmed to NBC News that there was a failed test and that it was not nuclear. The incident comes as the United States reconsiders its strategy in dealing with the isolated nation. In an interview with Reuters published late Thursday, President Donald Trump said "major, major" conflict with North Korea is possible, but that he would prefer a diplomatic solution. Trump also told Reuters that he wants South Korea to pay for the $1 billion missile defense system. The system, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense ...

Ronald Bernard is a Dutch entrepreneur whose drive and business contacts quickly catapulted him into the world of the financial elite. However, the deeper into this world Bernard went, the more horrifying it became. In a jaw-dropping interview with De Vrije Media, Bernard details this dark and depraved elite society which conducted human sacrifice and celebrated destruction. To not sound like crazed tinfoil ranting kooks, we will admit that the things Bernard mentions in the interview below sound utterly insane and evil. In an effort to vet his credibility, however, the Free Thought Project did some background research on him, and it checks out. He is who he says he is. Pascal ...

Autism could now be added to the lengthy and perpetually-expanding list of afflictions and symptoms treatable with the one product of nature shamefully prohibited by the federal government — the “miracle” palliative, cannabis.One in every 68 children in the United States is now affected by autism, and the number of kids coping with the developmental disorder has been increasing at an explosive rate in recent years. With onset most common during infancy and early childhood, autism can impact social and communication skills and may cause repetitive or compulsive behaviors, among other manifestations. Now, fresh evidence again frowns upon U.S. federal prohibition of cannabis ...

For the French establishment, Sunday’s presidential election came close to a near-death experience. As the Duke of Wellington said of Waterloo, it was a “damn near-run thing.” Neither candidate of the two major parties that have ruled France since Charles De Gaulle even made it into the runoff, an astonishing repudiation of France’s national elite. Marine Le Pen of the National Front ran second with 21.5 percent of the vote. Emmanuel Macron of the new party En Marche! won 23.8 percent. Macron is a heavy favorite on May 7. The Republicans’ Francois Fillon, who got 20 percent, and the Socialists’ Benoit Hamon, who got less than 7 percent, both have urged their ...
French election looks like another setback for Europe's left

When Socialist French presidential candidate Benoit Hamon conceded Sunday after failing to qualify for a runoff, he called it a "historic blow" to his party. It marks just the latest setback for the mainstream left across Europe — a retreat that has been largely missed by media reports as they focus on far-right leaders, whether they win or lose. Hamon, part of the same party as incumbent President Francois Hollande, appears set to finish fifth in the vote based on early indications from pollsters. Centrist Emmanuel Macron and far-right candidate Marine Le Pen looked set to finish first and second, respectively, according to exit polls, setting up a runoff next month. ...
Brexit is killing the pound but it's having a really productive side-effect on Britain's economy

LONDON — The pound has cratered against the US dollar ever since Britain voted to leave the European Union on June 23 last year. But while that has a negative effect on Brits' purchasing power, it is actually having a seriously positive impact on another sector in Britain's economy — employment. That is according to Sam Bowman, the executive director of one of the world's prominent think tanks, the Adam Smith Institute, who spoke at a local Conservative party conference in East Croydon, which Business Insider attended on Saturday. He was talking about how Brexit is expected to affect the UK economy over the short and long term and looked at both positive and ...

BERLIN (Reuters) - Thousands of former Taliban fighters may have entered Germany over the past two years among an influx of more than a million migrants and refugees, Der Spiegel magazine reported on Saturday. Germany's Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) informed security officials that thousands of migrants had identified themselves as former Taliban insurgents during the asylum application process, the magazine said. It added that at least 70 Afghan men were being investigated by Germany's over-stretched chief federal prosecutor, though it was not clear whether all of them were suspected of being active Taliban militants. Six are being held in investigatory ...
Trump quasi-endorses Le Pen: "She’s the strongest on what’s been going on in France"

Coincidentally she’s also the preferred candidate of Vladimir Putin, who correctly sees in her victory not just the end of the European Union but potentially the end of NATO. His bet on Trump during the campaign hasn’t paid off for him (so far). A bet on Le Pen, replete with interference on her behalf, is a surer thing. Trump was careful today to say he’s not formally endorsing her, knowing how that would irritate the French establishment and potentially some undecided French voters, but this is an endorsement in everything but name. In an interview with The Associated Press, Trump said that while he is not explicitly endorsing Le Pen, the [Paris] attack [yesterday] played ...
The [Election] Suspense Is Almost Too Much for the French

PANTIN, France — “Anyone but Le Pen.” That was the refrain at an open-air market on Wednesday in this banlieue, just northeast of Paris, when I asked people about France’s presidential election on Sunday. Marine Le Pen, the candidate of the far-right National Front, has a good shot at winning first or second place in this first round of voting, which would qualify her for the May 7 runoff. But polls show a tight contest among her and three other candidates, so the people of France wait anxiously to find out who will make it to the final vote. For many in Pantin, a traditional left-wing bastion that is home to many Muslim immigrants, what makes the suspense so ...

Paul Craig Roberts Today, April 19, 2017, is the 22nd anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing. The bombing of the federal Murrah office building was blamed by federal authorities on a bomb made from fertilizer inside a truck parked in front of the building by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. There are many anomalies associated with the official explanation, including mysterious deaths of some, including a police officer, who understood that the actual facts did not accord with the explanation. Investigators who report the actual facts are branded “conspiracy theorists” and dismissed. This has been the Deep State’s way of controlling explanations since the 1940s. ...

“You all start with the premise that democracy is some good. I don’t think it’s worth a damn. Churchill is right. The only thing to be said for democracy is that there is nothing else that’s any better. … “People say, ‘If the Congress were more representative of the people it would be better.’ I say Congress is too damn representative. It’s just as stupid as the people are, just as uneducated, just as dumb, just as selfish.” This dismissal of democracy, cited by historian H. W.

General Motors said it has ceased all operations in Venezuela after authorities unexpectedly seized its plant in the city of Valencia. A court in the Zulia state said it imposed a broad embargo on the assets of General Motors Venezolana, C.A., or GMV, which has been in operation for nearly seven decades. GMV said authorities seized its plant Wednesday afternoon and that its associated bank accounts likely are also out of its control, meaning the company cannot make payments, such as employee wages. GMV called the act “improper, absurd, outside of legal logic and due process.” “GMV is taking all legal measures within its reach in order to protect the rights of its workers ...
Trump Has Killed "Beautiful Babies" in Four Countries

US president Donald Trump sounded sincere when he described how he felt after seeing pictures of "beautiful little babies" allegedly killed by a Syrian government chemical weapons attack on April 4. “These heinous actions by the Assad regime cannot be tolerated," said Trump, and hours later, the US launched nearly 60 tomahawk missiles in response to the allegations. But what about the beautiful little babies killed by US bombs since Trump became president? Is Trump not concerned about those children because they were killed by his missiles, and not Assad’s chemical weapons? In the first three months of his presidency, Trump has dropped bombs – and killed ...

BEIJING — It was supposed to be steaming toward North Korea more than a week ago, an "armada" signaling American resolve. Then it wasn't. Now, it seems the USS Carl Vinson may finally be heading north. "Our deployment has been extended 30 days to provide a persistent presence in the waters off the Korean Peninsula," Rear Adm. Jim Kilby, the commander of Carrier Strike Group One, said in a message posted on the Carl Vinson's Facebook page addressed to "families and loved ones" of the personnel on board. The Carl Vinson, accompanied by a carrier air wing, two guided-missile destroyers and a cruiser, was supposed to have been ordered to sail ...
