Kim Iverson made these comments on June 9, in reference to US Rep. Senator Lindsay Graham’s statements about the wealth of mineral resources in eastern Ukraine. She continued as follows: They’re saying oh it's about democracy. We have to preserve democracy and then they cancel elections. They say “Oh, it's about democracy, it's totally about democracy.” And then they say “Well actually it’s about the 10 to 12 trillion dollars in critical minerals.” So … I hope that this is somewhat of a wake-up call to people. I mean one can hope even if this turns the minds of just a few. It takes a few… every day and if we just get a few every day then we get more and more people to open up their eyes to this … gaslighting of the American people that the military industrial complex and its enablers have been doing to us for decades, decade after decade after decade..this is just another showcasing of the hypocrisy, the Ridiculousness of all of this.

BREAKING NEWS 1
German High Court to Hear Case against Public Broadcaster re: Lack of Balanced Reporting
Germans tired of paying a Public Broadcaster Tax are watching the progress of a single case through the German courts. The German constitution requires public broadcasters to present a diversity of perspectives independently of government positions. An appeal of a provincial court ruling in favour of the public broadcaster will now be heard by a federal court. Publicly funded broadcasters are bound to ensure a multiplicity of viewpoints and ensure their reporting does not lean heavily in the government’s direction. canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/15-questions-re-media-ethics-being

HOMEGROWN HEROES - Going beyond the call of duty
This week, Chris Carbert, a Lethbridge contractor and Tony Olienick, a small construction company owner from Stavely AB, have been sitting in leg shackles on a metal bench in a Lethbridge courtroom, a change from the detention centres in which they have been locked up for over TWO YEARS, sometimes even in solitary confinement. Originally four “salt of the earth” southern Alberta men, known as the Coutts Four, were arrested in Alberta on allegations that they had conspired to murder police officers. Not allowed out on bail, the men have been treated as “guilty until proven innocent” which is a complete reversal of the principles on which the Canadian justice system was built. Earlier, two of the four agreed to plead guilty on lesser charges in order to buy their release and be reunited with family. A key question of the case: Were the men conspiring to bring weapons to the Coutts protest area, or was it a plan to bring in hockey equipment, an electric guitar, and toy trucks for the kids at the protest which was overheard and misinterpreted by others? www.newsweek.com/meet-four- men-being-held-political-prisoners- canada-opinion-1831823; autonomoustruckers.substack.com/ p/coutts-four-trial-resource-mega- list; https://www.youtube.com/
TOXIN WATCH & EXERCISE
Asking what is in deodorants and antiperspirants and noting how chemicals applied to the skin end up in the lymph nodes, former President of the Naturopathic Cancer Society Dr. Colleen Huber presents a novel theory on breast cancer in her Substack. Over half of breast cancers are found in the upper outer quadrant of the breast. Dr. Huber explains the role of lactic acids secreted during exercise on these chemicals. She explains: “irrefutable causation was established between exercise / physical activity and breast cancer survival.” See more here:
Who Cares for the Caregivers?
US medical journalist Howard Wolinsky has been supporting patients with low risk prostrate cancer through his Substack. He recently featured the book Stand By Me by physcho-oncologist Allison Applebaum, Ph.D., who states: “ A fter an intense period of caregiving, it’s not unusual for a caregiver’s health to worsen” and diabetes, high blood pressure, even post-traumatic stress disorder may follow.
In Canada, caregivers can reach out to provincial support groups or www.carerscanada.ca/advocacy-action/ or canadiancaregiving.org/. See also: howardwolinsky.substack.com/p/stand-by-me-anthem-for-our-generations.
More Live-In Caregivers Planned
The federal government announced a pilot program to allow more new immigrants to receive permanent residency through a new pilot live-in caregiver program, citing that only 1% of the “inventory” of live-in caregivers remains in Canada from the 60,000 who filled that role 10 years ago. www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees- citizenship/news/2024/06/canada-announces-new-pilot-programs-to- support-caregivers-and-canadian-families.html
In Memoriam - One Week in Canada
Media Studies professor Mark Crispin Miller and a team of volunteers have scanned obituaries for the words “died suddenly”. From June 3 to June 10, 187 deaths were tallied in Ontario alone, most in working age.
This finding matches the pattern traced in May 2023 by financial analyst Edward Dowd - a topic not reported on yet by “Canada’s trusted news leader” aka The Canadian Press. Details here: nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/witness/edward-dowd/.

U of M prof criticized
University of Manitoba professor Radhika Desai (also co-founder of GERG) was criticized by the CBC, as well as by a former student when she attended a forum organized by the Russian Valdai Discussion Club, just days after the Canadian government put the club on its list of Russian organizations to be sanctioned. As outlined by Dimitri Lascaris, Prof. Desai was able to ask Russian President Vladimir Putin two questions, one of which later led to the release of Russian dissident Boris Kagarlitsky. dimitrilascaris.org/2023/12/20/russian-dissident-freed-after-intervention-by-canadian-professor-radhika-desai/; https://themanitoban.com/2023/10/u-of-m-prof-soft-on-putin/45811/; https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/1.6996282

SASKATCHEWAN NDP Leader urges Gaslighting
Two different visions of Leadership are emerging in Saskatchewan. NDP Opposition Leader Hon. Carla Beck has chastised Premier Scott Moe for appearing open to concerns expressed by citizens around the bioweapons aspect of the COVID-19 injections and about the toxic nature of chemtrails. According to Hon. Beck, the mark of a true leader is to push back against such concerns.

Corruption in the Road Building Industry?
A relatively unknown independent journalist has looked into the back history of a well known federal Liberal Infrastructure Minister, now mayor of the City of Edmonton. Mocha Bezirgan’s investigation of Amarjeet Sohi’s connection to his brother’s trucking business in Alberta, enormous missing piles of aggregate (gravel) near Regina SK, billions of dollars unaccounted for, a secret trip, and intricate flow charts showing relationships between many people and organizations, make for fascinating viewing. Lovers of true crime dramas might be fascinated by this young journalist’s work. See www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGgXwaqVwGw&t=2s & www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZMgpi5py-8
SUPPORT INDEPENDENT MEDIA
When independent investigative journalist Mocha Bezirgan first launched his media website in May 2023, he was getting just over 50 views. A recent post a year later, garnered him 750 views. Bezirgan tackles corruption in politics, reporting on infrastructure, police & justice matters breaking the news not heard elsewhere. He even got the attention of legal scholar Dr. Gary Botting who said: “You are an example of where good journalism should be going.” x.com/BezirganMocha/status/1801289186848456876/.
