Nightslantern Suppressed News 2018 Canada: under Justin Trudeau the Canadian government has purchased the Kinder Morgan pipeline shifting from the Texas Kinder Morgan company to the Canadian people the burden of the pipeline construction's difficulties. The Government has the option of reselling the pipeline. In the early hours of May 26 a pipeline pump station in Darfield B.C. began leaking about 100 gallons of medium crude blend and Kinder Morgan had to shut it down. And on May 26th anti-pipeline groups held a peaceful Montreal rally against the pipeline construction, and while a number of speakers addressed the familiar political issues, a native prayer gave thanks for all that we need, the trees, the air, the oceans, the wind, the sun, the, stars, animals, insects, birds fish, the earth under our feet. Because the pipeline threatens the environment and habitat of natives and non-natives regionally and beyond, this isn't exclusively an Indigenous issue. The Aboriginal peoples have more legal rights to protest with; non-Indigenous peoples against the project may find themselves facing an overwhelming need to preserve the environment, without legal support other than human rights law and the common sense of judges. Ukraine: following the lead of Nazi programs to control the German people, advanced anti-Semitic incidents continue. So far their purpose seems to be to terrorize the Jewish and minority populations and build a conforming nationalist norm to wage war against Russia. This is useful to U.S. and NATO anti-Russian policy. The campaign to increase intense racist nationalism extends to persecution of the Roma and LGBTQ communities. On April 20-21 a small group (about 12) of far right fascists from "C-14" attacked and burned homes of Roma in the capital city Kiev. The elements of persecuting minorities include marches with Nazi salutes and swastikas, direct threats against Jews, graffiti praising Hitler, use of pejorative terms for Jewish people, vandalizing the tomb of a rabbi sacred to the community, public and political praise for Nazi collaborators, honouring a former SS battalion known for slaughtering Jews and Poles, honouring of Stepan Bandera, the fire bombing of a Holocaust memorial, and of a synagogue, the theft of religious articles, desecrating grave markers of Holocaust victims, lack of police protection against the displays of fascism and twisted rhetoric of overt anti-Semitism, etc. These are tactics which could be easily recognized as fascist by the Canadian government and unacceptable, yet Canada and the U.S. have staunchly supported Ukraine's anti-Russian government. The tactics become a source of anxiety for peoples who believe in democracy. While Israel has found the Government of the Ukraine slow to deal effectively with anti-Semitism, any information about Israel's support for the Ukraine's Jewish communities - is hard to find. While a genocide warning for the Jewish communities continues with its warning to other Ukrainian minority communities as well, it may clarify for Jewish communities of other nations just how much support Israel will provide in the event of fascist outbreaks and takeovers. Anti-Semitism in the Ukraine is considered on the increase as U.S. and Canadian military support grows. The U.S. House of Representatives voted a 250 million dollar military budget for the Ukraine May 24th, and last year the Ukraine received 200 million dollars in U.S. military aid. FRN and Russian news groups report that Canadian and U.S. troops (as NATO forces) have recently died in a minefield near Avdeevka.

U.S.A.: The U.S. currently has a staggeringly cruel policy of separating children from their parents if the families are caught crossing the border illegally into the States. In the past children, who are alone when caught crossing the border, have been placed with caretakers or sponsors by the Department of Homeland Security. While individual States have mechanisms for vetting the custodial parents, the federal government's are less stringent and 1475 children were found missing by the end of 2017. This group pre-dates the current policy of separating families and refers only to children caught illegally entering the States on their own. But the worry is that children have fallen and will fall into the hands of sexual predators, the sex trade traffic, the body parts market, and slavery.
