A few examples of the rolling narrative attacks against the population and reframing to stay ahead of the narratives by media: Links 1 for January 5th, 2026.

1. One of the persistent examples of Canada memory holing facts and narratives this site refers to, is how the CBC and other broadcast media used Japanese-Canadian fruit fly scientist, David Suzuki to promote the idea that Western industry was producing so much pollution that it would block out the sun, mimicking the results of a major nuclear war and causing a serious ice age. This theory was called, “Nuclear Winter.

Many efforts and forms of effort have been used to find any of the dozens to hundreds of hours of Suzuki warning us all about how this would come about if the West didn’t get its industry under control.

This was a partial truth. Pollution really is a problem. And in fact, the West by and large did actually learn to manage it, and this was a great thing. But that wasn’t the real intention most likely. Suzuki then pivoted to Global Warming from the same causes and somehow, every mention of Nuclear Winter was, as 1984 named it, Memory holed.

So it is with some amusement that Suzuki is the locus of the newest state memory holing. When the state declared war on incandescent bulbs, they demanded that everyone change to something called Compact Fluorescent Bulbs. These gave off a pale blue flickering light that looked exactly like the glow that came out of Venezuelan prisons when one drove by. They were horrible, and filled with Mercury vapour and when they exploded, and they did indeed explode, it cost a home owner $2000.00 to get an environment Canada team in hazmats over to remove them. So most of us just breathed through our noses and removed them ourselves.

LED Bulbs came out roughly around the same time, but there was no push to switch to these, even though they were a nicer light, MUCH cheaper to power in terms of amount of light per Watt, and they don’t explode but they do have one huge problem. They last a really long time. So sales would slow down fast. When people moved, they could take the bulbs with them. They would likely last longer than your stay at your current residence.

Eventually Canada caught up to it and banned Compact fluorescent bulbs as well. But they also appear to have made it very hard to find any images of the billboards or other promo material of Suzuki pushing the CFBs.

Headline from January 2, 2026 Western Standard:

Ottawa begins enforcing national ban on fluorescent light bulbs

The ban, drafted in 2024 by then–environment minister Steven Guilbeault, targets bulbs once marketed as climate?friendly alternatives to incandescent lighting.

The federal environment department has begun enforcing a nationwide ban on making and importing compact fluorescent light bulbs, ending years of government promotion of products now restricted due to mercury contamination concerns.

The ban, drafted in 2024 by then–environment minister Steven Guilbeault, targets bulbs once marketed as climate?friendly alternatives to incandescent lighting. The department said the prohibition will roll out gradually.

“Between 2026 and 2030 the import, manufacture and sale of the most common types of lamps containing mercury will be progressively prohibited in Canada,” spokesperson France Gionet said, adding the phase?out reflects advances in lighting technology.

Officials said the three?year transition period was designed to give retailers time to clear remaining inventory. Homeowners are being urged to bring used compact fluorescent bulbs to municipal toxic?waste depots rather than throw them in household garbage.

I had to learn about Google Dorks to find anything about Suzuki and CFBs. A regular search told me that any mention of his promotion of them was dangerous disinformation.

From The Province.com citing The Suzuki Foundation:

When shopping for a new appliance, look for the Energy Star logo, says Randi Kruse of the David Suzuki Foundation. It can cut 30-40 per cent of household energy use.

The fridge is the best appliance to replace, because it’s running all the time. Says Kruse: “That will make the biggest difference in energy savings. In the long run, you’ll save money as well as energy.”

The additional cost is recouped usually within a couple of years through energy savings.

“When you’re buying an appliance, the cost of the energy used to run it must be factored in,” says Kruse.

7. Use compact fluorescent lights. CFLs last about eight times as long as incandescent bulbs, use 66 per cent less electricity, and only need to be replaced every five or six years.

According to B.C. Hydro’s Elisha Moreno, they should be placed in spots where the bulb is used a lot, such as a hallway, outdoor light or family room.

Replacing a 100-watt incandescent bulb with a 25-watt CFL saves $30 in electricity over the life of each bulb.

That’s pretty clear. And so is this:

It was in fact known, not hidden, and not obscured that these bulbs contained mercury at the time they were launched at the public. Which may make one ask the question, Did Suzuki just not bother to look, or did he know and took the money and ran with it?
And did he do that with Nuclear Winter as well?

2. Here is a curious event. Mind you it’s the odious BBC so temper anything it says through that lens.

Venezuela fire: Thousands of voting machines burned

The electoral council in Venezuela says a fire in its main warehouse near the capital, Caracas, has destroyed most of the voting machines held there.

Almost 50,000 voting machines and 582 computers used in the country’s elections went up in flames, electoral council chief Tibisay Lucena said.

She did not say if parliamentary elections due later this year could be affected by the loss of the machines.

She also asked prosecutors to investigate the cause of the fire.

What happened?

The fire broke out in the 6,000 sq m (65,000 sq ft) warehouse in Mariche, east of Caracas, on Saturday.

“Burnt in this fire were 582 computers belonging to the civil registry, 49,408 voting machines, 400 electronic ballots,” Ms Lucena said in a news conference on Sunday.

The article doesn’t say what KIND of machines they were, but the linked article references Smartmatic as the type of machines used in previous elections.

We should be clear here, that we are opposed to voting machines. They are in fact black boxes which have closed source code. There is no way to know what happens inside these machines. And even if they are 100% accurate, the fact that only a very tiny technically elite fraction of the population understand them undermines the results of any election. An election not only must be fair and accurate, it must be seen to be fair and accurate. Having the one without the other is undermining the process.

Having human scrutineers to watch the process, and a process of picking them that allows any of us to volunteer, or even be paid for that function is the only way to get a sense that maybe this thing went as sold. The BBC is selling the burning of these machines as anti-democratic forces trying to make sure an election can’t happen. Which seems kinda nuts since elections have happened for thousands of years prior to any kind of machine at all. But skeptics and many others will at least internally be wondering if these machines were burned by the vestigial components of the Chavez-Maduro tyranny to hide evidence of machine tampering to rig the vote for themselves.

3. Speaking of Venezuela, there were large protests against the arrest of Maduro. I would bet by many of the same people that did the “No Kings” protest against Donald Trump.

One guest was “A researcher for the Sri-continental organization for Social Research.”

The Frankfurt School, communist think tank was originally called The Institute for Social Research before it left Germany for New York.

As usual, a Quick Look reveals the true agenda.

4. ANTIFA, an organization funded in whole or in part by the German government itself, carried out a major terrorist attack against German infrastructure.

?? German Antifa carry out a terrorist attack in Berlin

On Saturday morning, a terrorist attack targeted a power transmission line in the German capital, leaving tens of thousands of residents without electricity, and in some areas without heating, during a severe cold spell, Tagesspiegel reports.

Responsibility for the attack was claimed by a German radical Antifa group calling itself “Vulkan.”

In a manifesto published by the group, the radicals described the arson as an “act of self-defense” and a protest against fossil fuels and the expansion of artificial intelligence.

The extremists set fire to a cable bridge crossing the Teltow Canal from the Lichterfelde power plant. Incendiary devices were placed beneath the cables, creating a prolonged, high-temperature blaze. The burned wires were then deliberately short-circuited using metal rods to intensify the damage.

As a result of the attack, five high-voltage and ten medium-voltage cables were damaged. Initially, around 45,000 households in southwestern districts of Berlin were left without power.

The timing made the impact especially severe: during freezing temperatures, residents were left not only without electricity but also without heating. Mobile communications and emergency services were also disrupted in the affected areas.

Restoration efforts are being delayed due to technical challenges. The damaged infrastructure involves different types of cables that must be reconnected under specialized conditions by highly qualified technicians.

Such repairs normally take up to five weeks, but emergency crews are now working around the clock in an effort to restore power within five days.

The following needs to be understood for perspective on this event:

5. So it turns out that the British police invented evidence to justify banning Israeli soccer fans from a soccer match in the UK. 

The Times also has this story but it’s behind a paywall. The Times explains that Leaked files show West Midlands officers found retrospective ‘intelligence’ to justify barring football supporters.

UK police used false claims about Israeli fans to justify soccer game ban – report

Dutch law enforcement denies Maccabi Tel Aviv fans threw ‘innocent members of the public into the river’ in Amsterdam last year, or that 500-600 ‘intentionally targeted Muslim communities’

British police used false information to justify a ban on Israeli fans attending a game in Birmingham earlier this month, Dutch law enforcement told London’s Sunday Times newspaper.

The Aston Villa soccer club announced last month that no Maccabi fans would be allowed at the game following a police assessment that classified the fixture as “high risk,” citing “violent clashes and hate crime offenses” during a Europa League match in Amsterdam between Maccabi and local team Ajax last November.

According to the Sunday Times, the decision over the Birmingham game was made as a result of a confidential report in which British police claimed that Israeli fans threw “innocent members of the public into the river,” that 500-600 “intentionally targeted Muslim communities” and that the violence forced the deployment of 5,000 police officers.

Thank you all for checking out this site and its perspectives.

Here is an interesting juxtaposition. The new Mayor of NYC, who has lit up the buildings in Green to celebrate some Islamic thing or other, and has allowed mosques to caterwaul the call tp prayer across NYC, has vociferously claimed it was illegal for Trump to arrest Maduro as a violation of International law, or something.

But then you have this:

6. Zohran Mamdani says as mayor he would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu if he traveled to New York

If he wins his fall election, Zohran Mamdani would order New York’s police department to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu in the event that the Israeli prime minister ever traveled there, the city’s leading mayoral candidate said in a recent interview.

No surprise to anyone really. Its just nicely consistent with his Communist-Islamic intentions to reshape the West into something more like Venezuela was till a few days ago, or North Korea, or some Islamic Sh**hole.

The Atlantic has struck us as a kind of massaging propaganda rag for people who think they are smart. It is easy to get sucked in to their style. But they were heavily used during the Obama regime to soft sell even the most outrageous ideas. Like for instance that Al Qaeda were America’s allies against the Islamic State. Really.

So this should come as gentle confirmation.

Chat GPT analyzes this The Atlantic image thusly:

What the juxtaposition actually shows (and why it lands)

June 2022 frame (left):

Imperative language: “Don’t wait”

Moral urgency

Risk amplification for children

Dismissal of alternatives (“immunity from infection isn’t enough”)

The implied claim: benefit is clear, risk is negligible

December 2025 frame (right):

Concession language: “Yes, some children may have died”

Moral reframing: acknowledgment is allowed, but only to pre-empt critics

The implied claim: harm exists, but discussion must be controlled

The emphasis is no longer on risk assessment, but on narrative management (“denial serves anti-vaxxers”)

Thank you all again for your kind attention.
