US Navy helicopters sink 3 Iran-backed Houthi rebel boats in Red Sea after coming under fire-----December 31, 2023 | Vivek Saxena | 

The incident started around 6:30 am Sunday local time (10:30 pm Saturday EST) when a commercial cargo vessel known as the Maersk Hangzhou issued a distress call after coming under attack “by four Iranian-backed Houthi small boats,” according to a statement from U.S. Central Command.

“The small boats, originating from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, fired crew served and small arms weapons at the Maersk Hangzhou, getting to within 20 meters of the vessel, and attempted to board the vessel,” the statement reads.

BY SPECIAL REQUEST----MORE ON CANADA'S "MASS GRAVE HOAX"--#73 FOR OUR FAITH BASED READERS

#73 FOR OUR FAITH BASED READERS

Canada’s mass grave hoax is another irreversible lie of the cultural Left
By Peter Laffin September 14, 2023 06:00 AM

In May 2021, the Tk’emlups te Secwépemc people , an indigenous tribe in southern British Columbia, announced the discovery of a mass grave containing the remains of 215 indigenous children at former Catholic residential schools. Citing “anomalies” detected by ground-penetrating radar and the community’s assurance that the atrocity had been confirmed, the announcement garnered global media coverage and sparked a nationwide cultural backlash against the Catholic Church.

In the ensuing months, dozens of Canadian churches were torched (Prime Minister Trudeau described this as “understandable”). Anti-Catholic hate crimes rose by 260%. Priests and nuns were spat at in the streets. Worldwide sentiment toward Catholics plummeted to evermore profound depths. Suddenly, former Catholic residential school students in Canada were being referred to as “survivors” — as though these schools were the moral equivalent of Nazi concentration camps.

Those who questioned the existence of these mass graves or critiqued the ensuing moral panic were labeled as “residential school denialists.” Divergence from the official narrative was grounds for termination , cancelation , and dismissal ...... For his part, Trudeau did everything in his power to stoke the controversy for his own benefit. He demanded an apology from the Vatican with a quivering voice on behalf of the indigenous children ( which he incidentally received from Pope Francis ); he ordered flags to be flown at half-mast for six months; he even visited one of the supposed mass graves for a ghoulish photo-op with a teddy bear in hand .......

The only problem, of course, is that the “mass graves” story has fallen apart in recent weeks. MORE AT Canada’s mass grave hoax is another irreversible lie of the cultural Left (washingtonexaminer.com)
