Toronto played host again to the sale of stolen Palestinian lands. I reached out to the Canadian government for comment because they are condemning the expansion of settlements but they continue to allow the sale of those lands in their own backyard. We look at that and so much more.
Thirteen days from now, Thomas Massie will prove whether or not pro-American politics are allowed in Donald Trump’s Republican Party.

Israel’s persecution of non-Jews in the occupied territories is becoming steadily more blatant and shocking. Recent anti-Christians incidents are waking up many in the West to the fact that Israel is a fundamentally racist society. Ramin Mazaheri has more in his report.
Ever trigger-happy President Donald Trump, speaking to reporters at the White House on May 4, reiterated: “Would I launch strikes into Mexico to stop drugs? OK with me. Whatever we have to do to stop drugs. I looked at Mexico City over the weekend. There’s some big problems over there.” Would he ask for the Mexican government’s permission to launch strikes? Trump said he “wouldn’t answer that question.” He said he has been “speaking” with Mexico City; “they know how I stand…. So let me just put it this way, I am not happy with Mexico.”
Likewise for Colombia: “Colombia has cocaine factories where they make cocaine. Would I knock out those factories? I would be proud to do it personally. I didn’t say I’m doing it, but I would be proud to do it, because we’re going to save millions of lives by doing it.”
Trump has yet to say a mumbling word about even laying a finger on the two world centers for the drug trade: Wall Street and the City of London. To do that would require guts, the kind of courage Lyndon LaRouche had. (more...)

On the eve of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit to the Vatican, Pope Leo stated clearly his approach for the poor and underprivileged of the world. At his General Audience on May 6, he said:
“As the guardian of a hope that enlightens the path, the Church is also invested with the mission of speaking clearly to reject everything that mortifies life and prevents its development, and to take a position in favor of the poor, the exploited, the victims of violence and war, and all those who suffer in body and in spirit. From this perspective, the Church is called to recognize humbly the human fragility and transience of Her own institutions which, despite being at the service of the Kingdom of God, bear the fleeting image of this world…. Jesus initiated the Church precisely by proclaiming this Kingdom of love, justice and peace,” and therefore, the Pope said, “We are therefore called to consider the community and cosmic dimension of salvation in Christ and to turn our eyes to this final horizon, to measure and evaluate everything from this perspective.”
Vatican News chose to highlight its coverage with the opening summary: “Pope Leo XIV reflects on the eschatological dimension of the Church as presented in ‘Lumen gentium,’ and in this context, reiterates that Jesus has given the Church the mission of leading the faithful toward salvation, and that accordingly the Church has been ‘invested with the mission of speaking clearly to reject everything that mortifies life and prevents its development’ and to ‘denounce evil in all its forms'.” (more...)
