Iran allegedly plotted to assassinate Irwin Cotler, a noted Canadian human-rights advocate and harsh critic of the clerical regime, but the attempt on his life was recently foiled by law-enforcement authorities.


According to a source, the RCMP on Oct. 26 informed Mr. Cotler, a former Liberal justice minister, that he faced imminent threat of assassination within 48 hours from Iranian agents.

Did they arrest the bad guys?

Did they arrest the bad guys?

From the article:

The source said legal authorities had knowledge of two suspects in the plot but it is not known whether they have been arrested or fled the country.

Also of note;

He warned that authoritarian regimes are waging a war against Western countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia and many of those in Europe “through three primary methods – electoral interference, transnational repression, and the spreading of harmful disinformation.”

When are we going to put UFWD on this list along with the IRGC?

One would think, no?

Perhaps the next Government will.

Because ‘terrorism’ has a very specific meaning in the Criminal Code, and UFWD foreign interference is not it. Their activities are more the sort of thing intended to be covered by the new Foreign Interference offences and the pending foreign agents registry.

America has been placed on a wartime footing in a military engagement against an illegal invasion, and it is one that we cannot afford to lose.

President and Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump has just focused on the U.S. military to make the defense of American integrity a core mission.

Just before America’s entrance into World War II, a brilliant U.S. Army officer gave a warning to President Roosevelt that our nation was ill-equipped for a possible invasion by hostile forces:

On May 13, 1940, General George Marshall (often considered the architect of the American war effort) warned President Roosevelt that: “If five German Divisions landed anywhere on the Coast, they could go anywhere they wished.”


In combat power, German divisions, depending on their designation, such as Infantry or Panzer (tanks), varied in numbers, but it would be fair to say that Gen. Marshall was taking around 100,000 invaders.

Today, throughout America, ICE and other federal law enforcement agencies are conducting focused and legal raids against very dangerous illegal criminal organizations. It has also been reported that U.S. Army troops and Marines will join the fight and advance to the border.

Last week, ICE Deputy Director Patrick Lechleitner sent a letter to lawmakers detailing the number of criminal aliens on ICE’s national docket. As of July 21, 2024, nearly 650,000 criminal aliens were on the NDD—meaning they had previously been encountered by CBP, turned over to ICE, had their criminal history documented, and then were released into the United States.

The specific breakdown of what types of criminals have been released is just as sobering. The following numbers include both convicted criminals and those with pending charges for the specific offense. In all categories, the former exceeded the latter:

• Homicide: 14,944
• Sexual Assault: 20,061
• Assault: 105,146
• Burglary/Larceny/Robbery: 60,268
• Traffic Offenses: 126,343
• Weapon Offenses: 16,820
• Kidnapping: 3,372
• Commercialized Sexual Offenses: 3,971
