After APTN’s broadcast last week, Kevin Annett’s career as a fraud is pretty-much over now. They did an excellent piece on Annett, exposed many of his lies, and interviewed some of his victims. I helped with this story- sharing my research with APTN’s Todd Lamirande back in July. My favourite part of the story was when …

Terry Nelson & Iran: Should PressTV Be Banned From Canada?
I’ve been writing a lot about Iran’s state-owned PressTV. This station first came to my attention when they covered the story about Patricia Kelly’s criminal prosecution for illegally selling salmon. It shocked me how manipulative their coverage of this story was- it was incredibly overdramatic, and they misrepresented the truth in a number of ways. …

Alfred Webre: Liar, Traitor, Nutbar, Con and Jerk… (feat. PressTV!)
I first learned about the existence of Alfred Webre back in July through my research on Kevin Annett, a con-artist who has been profiting off of the pains of Canada’s indigenous communities. Webre had partnered with Annett and was promoting his lies- despite the fact there was overwhelming evidence that Annett was up to no …

Canada, Foreign Powers & The Great Game…
I read an interesting story in the Gulf News today- The Beginning Of A Great Game In Afghanistan. The article discusses how “regional states (are) busy carving out their respective spheres of influence.” Basically, everyone is fighting for their slice of the pie. It’s an interesting story, and has some parallels with what’s happening in Canada- …

Occupy Love: Where Judy Rebick, Michael Moore, Hollyhock, Renewal Partners, Soros & The Black Panthers Intersect…
I’ve written about the Activistocrats before- they are who Kale Lawsn of Adbusters called the ‘old-left’. They’re the people who hijacked the Occupy movement and changed the focus from being about problems with the banks and corporations to focussing on issues like identity politics, and promoting the NDP. In Canada, one of the commonalities of …

Exciting New Occupy Documentary Premiers In Vancouver On October 15th!
There is some exciting news coming-up on the Occupy documentary front. The Occupation Documentary is being premièred in Vancouver on October 15th. The film was made by Rafferty Baker and Matthew J. Van Deventer, two BCIT journalism students who were present (with video camera) every day at Occupy Vancouver. If something significant happened at Occupy Vancouver, they probably got …

Occupy Love: The Old-Left Hijacks Occupy’s History… (feat. Judy Rebick, Naomi Klein & Michael Moore?)
The old-left’s exploitation of the Occupy movement has been monumental. As soon as Occupy started, they came out with their fangs showing and grasped all the power they could. They came from all sides- radical feminists, entryist marxists, and several flavours of watermelon environmentalists (green on the surface, red on the inside.) Each of them wrestled …

A Warning About Kevin Annett From Dennis Banks & Royce White Calf…
I received a request yesterday from Royce White Calf, a member of the American Indian Movement, to post a warning about Kevin Annett. White Calf has engaged with Dennis Banks to help get the message out. Banks is a co-founder of the American Indian Movement, and a survivor of the American Residential School program, who …
