Canadian terrorism laws, which overlap with hate laws, are loosey goosey. Rarely is anyone ever charged with a terrorism crime in Canada. Hate crime charges and convictions are more frequent and perhaps a little easier to implement in such cases. Meanwhile, law enforcement rarely has the fortitude to press charges…

Another One Bites The Dust, ISIS leader Abu Khadijah Eliminated
Nonetheless, as we all know, as long as ISIS exists, it is like a Hydra; cut off one of its heads, and another grows. Having these ISIS fellows dying for their cause is fine by me. (Many are dying to get laid… literally.) They should consider their enemies attempts to…

Former Blackwater Jefe Erik Prince Gets the Nod To Help Ecuador Fight Organized Crime
Because I had briefly worked in El Salvador during the State of Emergency and the war on gangs, this has me wondering if Ecuador’s President Noboa is trying to emulate President Bukele’s success. Bukele crushed the MS-13 and Barrio 18 gangs, quickly turning El Salvador from a murder capital of…
