By Great Game India
Despite the U.N. not officially declaring a famine in Gaza after Israel’s blockade, ten top U.N. experts have proclaimed that intentional starvation by Israel has led to a famine across the region. They cited the deaths of multiple children from malnutrition as undeniable evidence.

#4 – We Haven’t Seen A “Historic Surge” Of Corporate Bankruptcies Like This Since The Great Recession
By Michael Snyder | The Economic Collapse Blog
We continue to get numbers that indicate that the U.S. economy is steamrolling in the wrong direction as we approach the most chaotic election season in our history. Needless to say, the performance of the economy is going to play a major role in the outcome of the election, because millions upon millions of Americans are really suffering right now. Homelessness has been growing at the fastest pace ever recorded, hunger and poverty are exploding, and we are in the midst of a cost of living crisis that doesn’t seem to have any end in sight. Unfortunately, there are signs that things will soon get even worse. For example, we experienced a “historic surge” of corporate bankruptcies during the first half of this year that was worse than anything we have witnessed since the first half of 2010… Read full article >

Ellen Wiebe
The National Post’s July 6 profile of euthanasia doctor and abortionist Ellen Wiebe begins with a barnburner line: “Dr. Ellen Wiebe has never shied away from speaking publicly about the act of ending someone’s life.” That’s a bit of an understatement – Wiebe has positively reveled in it. In the recent BBC documentary Better Off Dead? Wiebe informed disability rights activist Liz Carr that killing patients “is the very best work I’ve ever done.”
Wiebe’s enthusiasm – and chuckling throughout the interview – made viewers very uncomfortable. Clearly, so is National Post writer Sharon Kirkey. The profile of Wiebe is titled “This doctor has helped more than 400 patients die. How many assisted deaths are too many?” Of course, Wiebe hasn’t “helped people die.” She has actively ended their lives by lethal injection. Read full article >

By Patrick Webb | Leading Report
