Too hairy for the city, not hairy enough for the country. Cynico-hopefullist






@daviddoel @TinaYazdani @CityNewsTO Is it possible .@TinaYazdani was vanished because she was getting to close to the truth? She was improving each day & was so near the top of her game, not afraid to ask the hard questions no other reporter dared to ask. Thank u Tina!👏ps Ask @MaritStiles about #Tarion! Big Story!


NEW: CityNews has cut ties with Queen’s Park reporter Tina Yazdani, @policornerca has learned, while at least two of her stories about the Ford government have quietly vanished from the web without explanation. policorner.ca/p/scoop-the-fi…

The Pentagon summoned the Pope's ambassador, told him the United States has the military power to do "whatever it wants," and warned that the Church better take its side. They even invoked the Avignon Papacy, a dark chapter in history when a government used military force to bend the Church to its will. So where exactly does this end? If the Pope refuses to fall in line, what's the next move, bomb the Vatican? thedailybeast.com/trump-official…


In January, behind closed doors at the Pentagon, Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre — Pope Leo XIV’s then-ambassador to the United States — and delivered a lecture. America, Colby and his colleagues told the cardinal, has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side. As tempers rose, one U.S. official reached for a fourteenth-century weapon and invoked the Avignon Papacy, the period when the French Crown used military force to bend the bishop of Rome to its will. That scene, broken this week by Mattia Ferraresi in an extraordinary piece of journalism for The Free Press, may be the most remarkable moment in the long and knotted history of the American republic’s relationship with the Catholic Church. substack.com/home/post/p-19…
