Since the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis was caught on camera, we have seen worldwide hysteria blaming the tragedy on something called racism, systemic racism, or institutional racism. George Floyd was of course black while the man with the boot on his neck was white. So that makes the incident racial?

The pro-Israel community is engaged in a remarkable effort to bankrupt a small progressive Toronto restaurant. In their attack on Foodbenders, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs and B’nai B’rith have once again allied with the violent, far-right, Jewish Defence League (JDL).
In the wake of the George Floyd incident, the United States and the world have embarked on an increasingly fraught conversation on race, history, law enforcement, and the underpinnings of modern civilization. Is America’s ‘progressive’ left really a reactionary movement in disguise?

Have you heard of intersectionality? Probably, certainly if you are American and follow political developments even slightly, but do you know what it is? Intersectionality was “founded” in 1989 by Kimberlé Crenshaw, a proponent of the bogus doctrine of critical race theory. Cynics call it the oppression olympics, the idea being that there are strict hierarchies of power in society which are controlled by Anglo-Saxon, heterosexual white men at the very top, who lord it over the rest of Mankind.
