Dr. Jordan Peterson, is a university professor who says he won’t adopt the faddish new non-binary gender pronouns.

Having, as New York City has now recognized, 31 gender identities and expressions — from “bi-gendered to “agender” to “gender-gifted” and “gender-bender” and “gender-fluid,” all protected from discrimination — is “just not tenable.”

“We use ‘he’ and ‘she,’ and we use ‘they’ when there’s more than one person, and we do that for purposes of simplicity of interaction.

“And for you to come to say, ‘You have to mark me out as singularly special in the manner that I require and you have to remember it,’ no, it’s like, no, you can’t ask that of me, because you’re actually not singularly special.”

As the man at the centre of a freedom-of-speech battle at the University of Toronto says, “the people who made those words are possessed by ideology and not to be trusted anyway.”

“Because the logic underlying the arguments is that … biological sex, gender identity and gender expression vary independently,” and is “absolutely contradicted by the data,” which shows 98% of people have the same gender identity as their biological sex.

“It has become unmoored from the underlying reality” and is “all interpretation.”

“Well, if it’s all interpretation it’s not distinguishable from fashion.”

Last month, Peterson, a psychologist, author and intellectual heavyweight whose life’s work has been the study of authoritarianism posted three new videos to his YouTube channel on the dangers of the looming federal Bill C-16 (designed to enshrine the rights of transgender people by adding gender identity and expression).

It was during one of these videos that Peterson criticized the use of gender-neutral pronouns and drew the ire of self-appointed “social justice warriors” both at the school and outside it.

That led, in swift succession, to two warning letters from the university — one dated Oct. 18 from the dean of the faculty of arts and science, Peterson correctly calls “an exemplar of Orwellian doublespeak” — a free-speech rally and counter-protests and complaints against him.

He’s amused that by its warning letters to him, the university has proved he was right when he said on the videos that even raising the issue of gender neutrality is probably illegal, since gender identity and expression both are protected classes in the human rights code.

That letter from the arts dean, by the way, begins as Peterson says “with a ringing defence of the university’s stance on free speech, only in the next page to impose a limitation on that speech for me.”

Language hugely matters to him.

“One of the things I’ve come to understand is that the central functional axiom of Western civilization is that language … is the process that keeps chaos and order in balance … and that when (language is) corrupted, we careen into chaos or pathological order.”

“We’re going to have 31 different classes of pronouns? No, we’re not. It’s just not possible. People can’t do that. Our language doesn’t allow for that; we can’t remember that; and (apart from the un-tenability of it) you actually don’t have the right to demand that of someone.”

“You know that every individual is surrounded by the mass of humanity and the mass of humanity is to be categorized in the fastest and simplest manner possible because you can’t do it any other way.”

I conclude this article as Professor Peterson closes his own video; with this chilling statement:

“To my fellow Canadian citizens, you guys needs to wake up. The true north is no longer strong nor free. Our rights to free speech are under assault. It’s not pretty and it’s not good and its happening a lot faster than you think.”

Lord Conrad Black, the former Canadian Media Mogul who controlled Hollinger International, (once the world’s third-largest English-language newspaper empire) saw the writing on the wall, er … the print perhaps.

By the late ’90’s Black was convinced the newspaper business had peaked and began selling off many of Hollinger’s small papers in the United States.

In 2000, Lord Black’s Hollinger International Inc. sold most of its Canadian newspapers and half of the National Post to CanWest Global Communications Corp. for $3.2-billion dollars.

At the time, Leonard Asper and his father, CanWest founder Izzy Asper, hailed the deal as a bold move into the world of media convergence.

It is clear now that Lord Black and Hollinger outfoxed the Aspers and CanWest.

By late 2009, CanWest entered bankruptcy protection leading to the sale of the company’s assets. Canwest’s newspaper arm was sold to a group of creditors led by National Post CEO Paul Godfrey, through a newly formed company named Postmedia Network.

The Postmedia then went on to buy Sun Media Corp. a subsidiary of Quebecor in 2015 for 316 million.

The acquisition signalled an unprecedented concentration of the country’s newspapers and digital news sites. Postmedia took ownership of both major dailies in three big cities: The Sun and Herald in Calgary, the Sun and Journal in Edmonton and the Sun and Citizen in Ottawa. It previously owned both The Vancouver Sun and The Province in Vancouver, which it used as an example to make its case to the Competition Bureau.

Then, in early 2016, Postmedia completed a major restructuring of its debt. Under a court-approved corporate plan of arrangement, the company removed $307 million in debt and $50 million in annual cash interest from its books through a debt for equity swap.

However, Standard & Poor’s considered the plan of arrangement a technical default and indication that Postmedia was incapable of paying back its debt.

But the losses keep coming.

This week Postmedia Network Canada Corp., booked a loss of $99.4 million in the three months ending August 31, compared to $54.1 million in the same period the previous year. Check Reuters Canada Article Here.

This downward trend is clear proof that Conrad Black was right. Print media is indeed in a slow death spiral.

How ironic that he remains one of the few still working for the newspaper he founded.

During the 1920’s Edward Bernays coined the term ‘Public Relations’ and thus began the Propaganda / Psychological Operations against the American people.

Based on the writings of Sigmund Freud, Bernays sold products, toppled governments and brainwashed generations of unsuspecting citizens.

This powerful documentary chronicles the birth of ‘peace time’ propaganda, the work of Edward Bernays, the mass marketing of consumerism and the rise of media mind control techniques still employed today.

In this 2016 U.S. Presidential Election, the Psychological Propaganda War Machine is working Full Throttle to befuddle the minds of the American public with their bag of tricks and lies perfected over nearly a century.

This 4 hour long BBC documentary may leave you feeling angry and stupid. Not because we have all been fooled but because it reveals the depth of our governments contempt for its citizenry.

By Wednesday Oct. 12, WikiLeaks had released over 7,000 e-mails sent or received by Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta, offering glimpses into the workings of the Clinton campaign, as well as the Podesta-founded Center for American Progress.

Clinton’s associates have reacted angrily at the releases, with her campaign spokesman Brian Fallon accusing WikiLeaks of being “a propaganda arm of the Russian government running interference for their pet candidate, Trump.”

Here is a list of ten strange things about the Democratic presidential hopeful found in the leaked e-mails.

1. Hillary Hates ‘everyday Americans’

One e-mail has in particular generated much debate, revealing that Clinton hates “everyday Americans” – or that particular phrase, anyway.

“I know she has begun to hate everyday Americans, but I think we should use it once the first time she says I’m running for president because you and everyday Americans need a champion,” Podesta wrote to Clinton’s Director of Communications Jennifer Palmieri in April 2015.

2. The Campaign ‘Cultivated’ certain media

In an attempt to confirm Clinton’s attendance at an event on April 12, 2015, the day she announced her presidential bid, Podesta emailed Palmieri about the news website Business Insider. They both described the outlet as right wing.

“Am I right that they’re right wing? They get a fair amount of traffic,” Podesta asked.

“They are right wing, but Philippe [Reines, Clinton’s former State Department aide] weirdly has cultivated them,” Palmieri replied.

3. Clinton knew ISIS received support from US allies Saudi Arabia and Qatar

According to another e-mail, Clinton was well aware that Saudi Arabia and Qatar – major US allies in the Middle East – are providing  “clandestine financial and logistic support to IS [formerly ISIS/ISIL] and other radical Sunni groups in the region,” contrary to their assurances of the otherwise.

“While this military/para-military operation is moving forward, we need to use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets to bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region,” said the email she sent to Podesta.

4. Most Clinton Foundation donors are not American

In 2013, speaking to Mediacorp, Clinton admitted that the largest share of donations made to the Clinton Foundation came from abroad.

“Canadians per capita are the biggest supporters of the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative, so it’s great to be supported by so many Canadians,” Clinton said, according to the Washington Examiner.

5. New DNC chair was the ‘mole’ leaking Bernie Sanders doc

In January, Donna Brazile – former campaign adviser to Bill Clinton in the 1990s and a high-ranking official in the Democratic National Committee – passed along to the Clinton campaign an e-mail from the Bernie Sanders campaign revealing his strategy to reach African-American community through social media, called the ‘Twitterstorm Tuesday.’

“Thank you for the heads up on this Donna,” responded Adrienne Elrod, a Clinton campaign aide.

Brazile replaced Clinton confidante Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, who was forced to resign as DNC chair after the party files were leaked just prior to the convention in July. She tried to justify the action, saying there were “plenty of emails from me to both team Clinton and Sanders.” She has also accused those who reported on the emails of working overtime for Trump and “his Russian hackers.”

6. Policy-making and ‘backroom deals’ should be concealed from voters

Among the first batch of emails were partial transcripts of speeches Clinton gave after leaving the State Department. In one such speech in 2013, Clinton said policy-making process should be concealed from voters as backroom deals it includes could make people “nervous.”

“If everybody’s watching, you know, all of the back room discussions and the deals, you know, then people get a little nervous, to say the least. So, you need both a public and a private position,” Clinton said during a speech to the National Multi-Housing Council, for which she earned $225,000, according to the Washington Examiner.

7. ‘Can’t possibly’ vet all refugees

At a luncheon for the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago Vanguard in October 2013, Clinton said that the influx of Syrian refugees into neighboring Jordan – fueled by the ongoing civil war – makes checking identities of all asylum seekers impossible.

“And particularly with Syria which has everyone quite worried, Jordan because it’s on their border and they have hundreds of thousands of refugees and they can’t possibly vet all those refugees so they don’t know if, you know, jihadists are coming in along with legitimate refugees,” Clinton said, according to speech transcripts found in Podesta’s emails.

8. No-fly zone over Syria impractical due to ‘sophisticated anti-aircraft systems’

During the second presidential debate on Sunday evening, Clinton championed an idea of introducing a no-fly zone over certain parts of Syria. However, in a speech paid for by Goldman Sachs in June 2013, she was deeply skeptical that such measure could work in modern Syria.

“But the idea that we would have like a no fly zone—Syria, of course, did have when it started the fourth biggest Army in the world. It had very sophisticated air defense systems. They’re getting more sophisticated thanks to Russian imports,”Clinton said, according to leaked speech excerpts.

“So our missiles, even if they are standoff missiles so we’re not putting our pilots at risk – you’re going to kill a lot of Syrians.”

9. Chelsea Clinton ‘acted like a spoiled brat’

A December 2011 email from Doug Band, a lawyer who helped create the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), said that that Chelsea Clinton was hardly caring about “her role” in the office problems.

“But I’m sure Chelsea is more concerned with a mostly false story in the distinguished [NY] post about [MF Global] and Teneo not her role in what happened to Laura/Bruce, what she is doing to the organization or the several of stories that have appeared in the NY Post about her father and a multitude of women over the years,” Band wrote.

In a separate e-mail to Podesta a month earlier, he said Chelsea was “acting like a spoiled brat kid who has nothing else to do but create issues to justify what she’s doing because she, as she has said, hasn’t found her way and has a lack of focus in her life.”

10. ‘Extraterrestrials, the highest form of intelligence working directly with God’

Aliens want to help humans but are afraid of violence on Earth, Apollo program astronaut Edgar Mitchell wrote to Podesta in 2015, citing an impending space war and the Vatican’s knowledge of alien life.

“Because the War in Space race is heating up, I felt you should be aware of several factors as you and I schedule our Skype talk,” wrote Mitchell, who died in February 2016.

Terri Mansfield, who describes herself online as “the Director of the ETI (Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Peace Task Force”has also been mentioned in one of Mitchell’s e-mails. Referred to as Mitchell’s “Catholic colleague,” Mansfield is also said to be attending the meeting with Podesta “to bring us up to date on the Vatican’s awareness of ETI.”

On her website, Mansfield describes ETIs as being “the highest form of intelligence working directly with God.”

The American College of Pediatricians urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts – not ideology – determine reality.

1. Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait: “XY” and “XX” are genetic markers of male and female, respectively – not genetic markers of a disorder. Individuals with DSDs do not constitute a third sex.

2. Everyone is born with a biological sex. Gender (an awareness and sense of oneself as male or female) is a sociological and psychological concept; not an objective biological one. People who identify as “feeling like the opposite sex” or “somewhere in between” do not comprise a third sex. They remain biological men or biological women.

3. A person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking.

4. Puberty is not a disease and puberty-blocking hormones can be dangerous. Reversible or not, puberty- blocking hormones induce a state of disease – the absence of puberty – and inhibit growth and fertility in a previously biologically healthy child.

5. According to the DSM-V, as many as 98% of gender confused boys and 88% of gender confused girls eventually accept their biological sex after naturally passing through puberty.

6. Children who use puberty blockers to impersonate the opposite sex will require cross-sex hormones in late adolescence.

7. Rates of suicide are twenty times greater among adults who use cross-sex hormones and undergo sex reassignment surgery, even in Sweden which is among the most LGBTQ – affirming countries.

8. Conditioning children into believing that a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited a gender-segregated mosque Monday morning whose imam is a member of a group considered a terrorist organization abroad.

Samy Metwally, the lead imam at the Ottawa Muslim Association, is a “a member of the International Union for Muslim Scholars (IUMS)”, according to the mosque’s website. In 2014 the United Arab Emirates placed the group on its list of designated terrorist organizations.

“IUMS was founded by Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the Muslim Brotherhood’s leading ideologue and a notorious figure who, among other accomplishments, was for many years banned from entering France and endorsed the murder of Israelis,” Daniel Pipes, an author and Islamic studies scholar who has taught at Harvard and University of Chicago, explained via e-mail.

Cementing a major shift in how California handles sex crimes, Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday signed legislation decriminalizing prostitution for minors.

By prohibiting law enforcement from arresting people under the age of 18 for soliciting or loitering with intent, Senate Bill 1322 effectively shields those young people from criminal penalties. Advocates argued that young sex workers should be treated as victims, not criminals.

Coming on the back of a public campaign coined “There is No Such Thing” as a child prostitute, crimes of solicitation and prostitution will no longer apply to anyone aged under 18.
