And yet, we can go to Egypt & raid the Tombs of the Pharoahs, South America, Africa or uncover burial sites of ancient people. Can you say, "Hypocrisy"??? I knew ya could. 

I was under the impression that North America did not raid or pillage any tombs in Egypt? I thought all of that was monitored and controlled by some sort of organization from that country.

That sort of pillaging is pretty much over, except for Syria and Afghanistan where the Jihadists have found out that they can sell relics for big money.

Former managing director of the Australian Christian Lobby and conservative politician Lyle Shelton has accused Sydney Sea Life aquarium’s famous gay penguin couple Sphen and Magic of faking their gay love story. 

His new target is ***** love in the penguin world. Last week in a press statement, Shelton claimed the aquarium’s “fake gay penguins” were being used to “indoctrinate children”.

Wagner Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin Is In Russia, President Of Belarus Says

MINSK, Belarus (AP) — The mercenary leader who led a short-lived mutiny against the Kremlin is in Russia and his troops are in their field camps, the president of Belarus said Thursday, raising new questions about the deal that ended the extraordinary challenge to President Vladimir Putin’s rule.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko’s claim could not be independently verified, and the Kremlin refused to comment on Yevgeny Prigozhin’s whereabouts. But Russian media have reported he was recently seen at his offices in St. Petersburg.
It was not clear if Prigozhin’s presence in Russia would violate the deal, which allowed the head of the Wagner Group military contractor to move to Belarus in exchange for ending the rebellion and a promise of amnesty for him and his troops. But the reports signaled that the agreement may have allowed him to finalize his affairs in Russia.

If that’s true, it could suggest the threat posed by Prigozhin has not yet been fully defused and that the Kremlin is treading carefully with him until it can figure out what to do with troops who may still be loyal to him. Putin has said that Wagner troops can join the Russian military, retire from service or move to Belarus.

But much about the the agreement, which was brokered by Lukashenko, remains murky.

Former prime minister Stephen Harper says he wants closer ties between right-leaning political parties — including the Conservative Party of Canada — and the Hungarian government, which has been accused of democratic backsliding.

Harper chairs the International Democrat Union, a global alliance of right-leaning political parties that includes Canada's Conservatives as well as the Fidesz Party led by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

Human Rights Watch says Orban's government has delivered sustained "attacks on rule of law and public institutions," such as surveillance of journalists and actions undermining judicial independence.

The European Court of Justice has repeatedly ruled that Orban is violating EU migration laws with policies hostile to asylum claimants — whom he has referred to at various points as "a poison" and "Muslim invaders."

Harper also met this week in Rome with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who leads a bloc of conservative European parties.

Also Thursday, Harper tweeted that he discussed "the IDU's strong support for Ukraine." Orban has opposed multiple moves by the European Union to punish Russia over its invasion.

 

Orban has called on Ukraine to offer concessions to Russia, claiming Kyiv cannot win against Moscow. He recently said that Russian President Vladimir Putin's handling of a mutiny last month showed his strength as a leader.

Harper faced criticism from international relations experts and the Liberal government in 2018 when he congratulated Orban for his re-election.

This is a natural extension of right-wing thinking in Canada- they have seen the rise of extremist right-wing power in the USA, and as destructive as it has been, they want that kind of power and delude themselves that they can harness and control it to give them perpetual power in Canada. Obviously, the GOP had the same delusion which has taken the US into very dangerous and violent times. There is an axiom that describes this perfectly-" If you lie down with dogs, you are going to get fleas".

All fascism needs is a veneer, no matter how thin, of respectability.

"The disposal of the collection took place over a couple of weeks in August. A couple of summer students boxed up journals. The boxes sat outside the basement library on pallets for a few days. But then, over the next week-and-a-half, the students began filling an extra-large dumpster with journals and old reports.

When the news story about the trashing of the library’s holdings broke, the dumpster was immediately emptied."
