🇨🇦Canadian man has a doctor's approval for euthanasia despite admitting becoming poor is a main reason he's applying to die
Lester Landry has struggled for years with a number of illnesses, none of them fatal. He gets around in a wheelchair. When he turned 65, Canadian authorities stripped him of many of his retirement benefits, took away his service dog and the apartment the government had given him because of his disability.
He now lives in a van and only has $120 to his name. He has applied for euthanasia because he "doesn't want to live in poverty".
In Canada, applying for euthanasia is easy. All you have to do is fill out the form available online and sign it.

Biden signed a law recognizing same-sex marriage in the United States
He also highlighted the need to "protect transgender children."
"We need to challenge the hundreds of callous, cynical laws introduced in the states targeting transgender children, terrifying families and criminalizing doctors who get children the care they need. We have to protect these children." - Biden
❗️It looks more like it's the government that's targeting confused children and their parents and pushing their gender ideology on them.

🇳🇴Norwegian lesbian artist is facing criminal charges for saying men cannot be lesbians
On November 17, Tonje Gjevjon was told that she was being investigated by the police over hate speech because of a Facebook post that criticized men who said they were lesbians.
"It’s just as impossible for men to become lesbian as it is for men to become pregnant," Gjevjon wrote. "Men are men regardless of their sexual fetishes."
Norway’s hate speech law was changed in 2020 when the parliament in the country voted to make hate speech against people who identify as transgender illegal.
Gjevjon is now facing up to three years in prison.

Massachusetts library has caused controversy after refusing to display a Christmas tree
Controversy erupted earlier this month when the manager of the Endicott Branch Library in Dedham sounded the alarm that there was no Christmas tree on display at the public library.
"When I asked, I was told ‘people’ were made uncomfortable last year looking at it. I’m sorry WHAT?" - Lisa Desmond says.
After raising her concerns in a Facebook post, Desmond received several threat messages. Some of the commenters have also written that wanting a Christmas tree in the library was an example of 'Christian privilege'.
After the controversy was widely publicized, library's director quickly stated: "To be clear, there is no ban on Christmas at the Dedham library"

Jack Dorsey responds to 'Twitter files' controversy
Jack Dorsey, former CEO of Twitter, wrote a blog post, where he states that platforms such as Twitter must resist trying to control the public conversation and rely on 'algorithmic choice', not the whims of individuals, to moderate extreme content.
His main thoughts:
🔹"The Twitter when I led it and the Twitter of today do not meet any of these principles. This is my fault alone, as I completely gave up pushing for them when an activist entered our stock in 2020."
🔹"The biggest mistake I made was continuing to invest in building tools for us to manage the public conversation, versus building tools for the people using Twitter to easily manage it for themselves. This burdened the company with too much power, and opened us to significant outside pressure (such as advertising budgets)."
🔹"I generally think companies have become far too powerful, and that became completely clear to me with our suspension of Trump’s account. As I’ve said before, we did the right thing for the public company business at the time, but the wrong thing for the internet and society." - Jack Dorsey.

Detransitioning Navy SEAL warns against children rushing into treatment
Chris Beck, 55, retired Navy SEAL, who had for a time been known as Kristen Beck and has recently detransitioned.
In 2013 Beck gave an interview to CNN. This is how he looks back on this experience:
🔹"Everything you see on CNN with my face, do not even believe a word of it. Everything that happened to me for the last 10 years destroyed my life. I destroyed my life. I'm not a victim. I did this to myself, but I had help."
In recent days Beck spoke out to Fox News and shared his thoughts on the growing trend of gender reassignment:
🔹"The ideology as I'm talking about is becoming something where it's being pushed in schools and young teenagers are having surgeries because it says they're transgender. It's an affirmation." - Beck says.
🔹"I want these doctors to see what they're doing. In psychology, take a look at gender dysphoria… take a look at body dysmorphic disorder. There's a myriad of things you can look at."
Beck said physicians and parents need to 'wake up' and do more research into what information is being 'hidden' about the issue.

Fossil fuel critic is going to the moon
Rhiannon Adam, 37, was one of 8 artists selected by Japanese billionaire Yasaku Maezawa to join an ambitious civilian flyby around the moon on a SpaceX Starship next year.
The photographer, who is a fossil fuel critic justified her trip to outer space claiming the 'positives outweigh the negatives'.
When questioned why she had chosen to go on the trip, particularly when it came to the impact on the environment, she said it would help her 'reflect on some of these issues in a deeper way'.
By the way, a rocket launch booster burns at two million times the rate of an average car.
Talk about double standarts.

Actress Jessica Chastain claims Ukraine gets more attention than Iran because it's 'mostly White'
Chastain has shown support for both causes on social media. In a recent interview she shared her thoughts on the war in Ukraine and Iranian protests:
"I've done a lot of press recently, and a lot of people want to talk about Ukraine. But when I bring up Iran, no one wants to talk about that. I think because it's a women-led revolution, and I think because Ukraine is mostly 'White people'" - Jessica Chastain.

Queer activist says she has never heard of detransitioning cases
Jessie Pocock, witness in the House hearing on 'anti-LGBT violence' was asked to share her thoughts on detransitioning phenomenon:
"I've never heard of a case of anyone detransitioning so I honestly don't think it's a real thing" - she replied.
Pocock is an executive director of 'Inside Out Youth Services', which provides services to LGBTQ+ youth ages 13-24. Yet, she claims that she has never encountered a case of detransitioning.
Such organizations are only interested in children when they can help transition them. Once the job is done, they are no longer involved. And when some start to question their decision and even consider detransitioning, they become canceled by the LGBTQ+ community.

Elon Musk suspended multiple high-profile left-wing journalists from Twitter
Journalists were suspended from the platform on Thursday for violating a rule about posting information that revealed the location (doxxing) of Musk's private jet.
Accounts that were suspended included:
🔹Aaron Rupar, left-wing propagandist and former Vox journalist
🔹Donie O’Sullivan, CNN reporter
🔹Ryan Mac, New York Times reporter
🔹Drew Harwell, Washington Post reporter
🔹Micah Lee, the Intercept journalist
🔹Keith Olbermann, hardcore leftist
"They posted my exact real-time location, basically assassination coordinates, in (obvious) direct violation of Twitter terms of service. Criticizing me all day long is totally fine, but doxxing my real-time location and endangering my family is not," - Elon Musk.
Musk clarified that the accounts were not permanently banned but were instead suspended for 7 days.
Twitter (before Musk) was known to disregard some doxxing cases, including the disclosing of Chaya Raichik's home address (Libs of TikTok account owner), after which Raichik faced stalking and threats.
The suspension of journalists has expectedly raised angry disputes on Twitter.

🇺🇸U.S. Senate votes to ban TikTok on government devices
The Senate unanimously passed a bill that would ban the use of TikTok on government devices amid growing national security concerns over the Chinese-owned social media platform.
The No TikTok on Government Devices Act, introduced by Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO), was passed late Wednesday. The bill now heads to the House.
The bill will need to be signed by President Joe Biden to become law.
🤔 But if government officials can't use TikTok, how will they know which pronouns are blue-haired teachers feeling like each day?

❗️TWITTER FILES: PART 6❗️
The new 'Twitter files' release by Matt Taibbi uncovers the FBI tampering with Twitter
The main takes from the files:
▪️Twitter’s contact with the FBI was constant and pervasive.
▪️Between January 2020 and November 2022, there were over 150 emails between the FBI and former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth.
▪️Most of the requests were to review or take action on tweets and accounts, especially during election. Both right- and left-leaning accounts were at different times subject to review. Even obvious jokes were reviewed and, if needed, censored.
▪️At the request of the FBI, Twitter executives were distributing the 'products' among employees, which were actually bulletins stressing the need for greater collaboration between law enforcement and 'private sector partners.'
▪️One of the of the bulletins - 'Russian malign influence use of permissive social media platforms' - states, that:
"Russian malign influences see operational advantages in sites with less active effort to ban false information, offensive language, and inauthentic behavior."
▪️There were multiple points of entry into Twitter for government-flagged reports.
"What most people think of as the 'deep state' is really a tangled collaboration of state agencies, private contractors, and (sometimes state-funded) NGOs. The lines become so blurred as to be meaningless." - Matt Taibbi concludes.
