Against a background of general indifference and with the support of the majority of the political parties, a law has just been passed by French MPs that considerably restricts freedom of expression. A form of speech police has been introduced to control comments that may be made even in informal private circles.
The aim of the bill, proposed at the initiative of MPs from Emmanuel Macron’s party Renaissance, was to “strengthen the criminal response to racist or antisemitic offences,” and subject those expressions to “a guaranteed and systematic criminal penalty.”
The rise in antisemitic acts since the attacks of October 7th provided MPs with the perfect pretext for their intervention: in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the aim was to redouble vigilance against the antisemitism at work in France, like in other European societies. But under the guise of combating antisemitism, any speech deemed discriminatory by the dominant system is likely to fall within the scope of the law.
The debates in the National Assembly revealed a dangerous extension of the crime of expressing opinion to the private sphere, something that was accepted by the deputies without restrictions. If we consider the abolition of the boundary between public and private as one of the most obvious characteristics of totalitarian regimes, it is clear that this law takes the French Republic a little further into the realm of “totalitarianism without the gulag”—to use the words of Quebec essayist Matthieu Bock-Côté in his latest book by the same name.
The trend is not new: recent legislative developments have already made it possible to condemn not only acts but also words and even intentions. Essayist Anne-Sophie Chazaud, the author of a book on freedom of expression, also points out that, as far back as August 2017, a decree issued at the start of Macron’s first term in office provided for the criminalisation of private conversations—in effect encouraging private-sphere spying. Today, we are moving from decree to law, and the insistence on legally pursuing offending remarks of a ‘non-public’ nature opens the way to all kinds of excesses.
In legal terms, there is still a fine line between ‘non-public’ speech and private speech. Non-public speech includes, for example, discussions on a WhatsApp group or Telegram channel, or in group emails. The ‘non-public’ dimension implies a collective nature and the existence of a “community of interests,” but also the absence of any explicitly requested confidentiality. A family dinner, for example, should not be affected. But the law is deliberately unclear, leaving it open to interpretation. Add to the participants in that very same family dinner a group of friends who are more or less close, or members of the same sports club, and you are on the verge of a “community of interests” that will allow the legislator to censor anything.
Unfortunately, it is all too easy to foresee the developments that will result from this law.
From the moment that any type of discriminatory comment can be reported, questions of the rights of sexual minorities—which by their very nature touch on the private and intimate sphere—offer an infinite range of possibilities for criminalisation. We can imagine all sorts of situations becoming potentially dangerous, with the division reaching right to the heart of families: a mother wanting to help her daughter keep her child rather than have an abortion or a father worried about his son’s desire to change gender could soon be liable for prosecution.
Elsewhere in Europe, the same trend can be observed. A former Flemish parliamentarian has just been sentenced to prison for alleged “racist memes” shared on a private discussion chat group. In Britain, a private citizen was sentenced to prison for distributing stickers demanding a stop to mass immigration. As Xavier Van Lierde, a journalist on the conservative Radio Courtoisie radio station, worries: in the near future, what about opinions on health policies, climate, or geopolitical issues?
But perhaps the most worrying aspect of this sequence of events is not the content of the French bill—merely the umpteenth repetition of provisions already more or less contained in previous texts—but the now well-established habit among members of parliament to consider ever tighter restrictions on thought and expression as a good and obvious thing that there is no point in opposing. Discussion seems to have deserted the field in favour of an absolutely suffocating unanimity that no one seems to want to question.
Writer J.K. Rowling continued her attack on the woke, woman-hating, left with a Mother’s Day message mocking the “inclusive” language favored by the LGBTQ crowd.
With Mother’s Day being celebrated in the UK on March 10, the British author jumped to her X account and posted a message ridiculing the left’s penchant for erasing women with language that neutralizes their actual gender.
“Happy Birthing Parent Day to all whose large gametes were fertilised resulting in small humans whose sex was assigned by doctors making mostly lucky guesses,” she wrote in her first post.
After the usual suspects jumped in to attack her, Rowling then added a reply reading, “Devastated and bewildered that my embrace of inclusive language has angered its most enthusiastic devotees, so let’s just say: Happy Mother’s Day to all females who’ve raised children.”
Devastated and bewildered that my embrace of inclusive language has angered its most enthusiastic devotees, so let's just say:
Rowling has been a particular target of the extreme, trans-pushing left because she firmly believes that transgenderism is being used to tear down real, natural-born females, especially in sports where trans athletes continue to rack up championships and erase records set by actual female athletes.
The most recent attack on her integrity came from transgender TV personality India Willoughby who reported Rowling to the police in the UK for being mean to trans people and “misgendering” him.
Willoughby, Britain’s first transgender broadcaster who has appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and who “transitioned” surgically in 2015, blasted Rowling as “transphobic” for not calling him a woman.
The U.K.’s Crown Prosecution Service has labeled hostility to transgenders a “hate crime,” but the statutes currently do not include “misgendering” someone as a crime.
Rowling has said that it is actually Willoughby who is committing the crime.
“Some time ago, lawyers advised me that not only did I have a clearly winnable case against India Willoughby for defamation, but that India’s obsessive targeting of me over the past few years may meet the legal threshold for harassment,” she said in a post on X.
“I ignored this advice because I couldn’t be bothered giving India the publicity he so clearly craves,” Rowling added. “Aware as I am that it’s an offence to lie to law enforcement, I’ll simply have to explain to the police that, in my view, India is a classic example of the male narcissist who lives in a state of perpetual rage that he can’t compel women to take him at his own valuation.”
I ignored this advice because I couldn't be bothered giving India the publicity he so clearly craves. Nevertheless, we must all do our bit to combat hate, so India will be glad to know I've taken note of his homophobia, racism, and humane stance on immigration. 2/5 pic.twitter.com/ULoYrRGfez
Rowling even maintained that it was actually Willoughby who was pushing hate.
Surprisingly for such an eminent legal authority, he appears to have forgotten that the Forstater ruling established that gender critical views can be protected in law as a philosophical belief. No law compels anyone to pretend to believe that India is a woman. 4/5
Reduxx has learned that a British trans activist who has influenced gender policy in the United Kingdom and advocated for the medical transitioning of minors had previously lobbied for extreme pornography and sexual images of minors to be legalized.
The TSN was also referenced as a resource by the largest LGBT lobby group in Europe, Stonewall, during a 2022 campaign against the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) in response to proposed alterations to the Equality Act which would strengthen women’s sex-based rights, including the right to single-sex facilities and services.
A statement from TSN published to Stonewall’s website said that policies which protect women-only policies “pose a serious threat to the human rights of trans individuals,” and that such protections are “institutionally unfit for purpose.”
The Trans Safety Network (TSN) was launched in 2020 as “a research collective exploring and analyzing institutional and organized harm against trans people in the UK,” and initially cited “misleading stickers being placed in public view” as a motivation for the group’s creation. Moore, along with other members of the TSN, frequently document and report stickers and signage they find “offensive” to trans people.
Moore has also documented some of these stickers, implying that they are illegal. Correspondingly, the TSN website claims the stickers are intended to “disturb the public into retaliating against trans individuals.”
Among the sticker designs targeted by the TSN are calls for single-sex restrooms in order to preserve privacy, and slogans such as the definition of “woman” as “adult human female.”
A LOT OF THE GENITAL PREFERENCES STICKERS AROUND OXFORD WERE POSTED WITH LOTS OF POSIE STYLE ADULT HUMAN FEMALE STICKERS.HTTPS://T.CO/QIWZPAEGEO— Mallory Moore (@Chican3ry) April 13, 2023
Disturbingly, Moore, who is a longtime practitioner of BDSM and a self-described sadist, is also a member of the Consenting Adult Action Network (CAAN), which has promoted extreme pornography and campaigned for legalizing sexual images of youth aged 16 and 17.
A statement posted on the CAAN site in 2008, the year it was created, criticizes legislation that was being considered by the government to criminalize the possession of pornographic content involving 16 and 17 year-olds, calling the amendment to the Sexual Offences Act 2003 “misguided and disproportionate.”
“This particular legal booby-trap is designed to create yet another area of uncertainty, where adults must risk being branded paedophile (or not) depending to whether they can always distinguish visually between a 17-year-old and an 18-year-old,” reads the CAAN statement.
“Adding to the Sex Offenders’ Register the names of individuals whose sole offence is that they are turned on by biologically mature human beings devalues the Register. It also provides an opt-out for genuine paedophiles, who can argue that if ordinary sexual interaction can land someone on the SOR, then whatever they did could not have been that serious.”
According to Stephen Ruddell of the Criminal Law Policy Unit, Fae emphasizes, “the age of the child – in respect of possession of indecent photographs of children – was raised from under 16 to under 18 in the Sexual Offences Act 2003. This change in the law meant that people had to consider and, if necessary, delete or destroy material which until then had been legal to possess.”
Worryingly, CAAN’s official social media account was offering support to notable LGBT activist Peter Tatchell, who has an extensive history of pedophilia apologism, and previously advocated for lowering the legal age of consent. In 1986, Tatchell contributed a chapter to a book compiled by Warren Middleton, former vice-chairman of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), arguing that laws criminalizing adults for sexually abusing children do more harm than the abuse itself.
One article penned by Tatchell and shared via CAAN’s social media argues that “smut actually saves lives” by preventing prostate cancer, and disparages critics as “moralists” and “right-wing feminists.”
“To justify their anti-porn crusade, the new puritans point to snuff movies, kiddie porn, rape videos, trafficked or coerced actors and degrading, humiliating images of women. Sure, this stuff is vile and wrong – and some of it should be criminalized to protect the vulnerable,” writes Tatchell.
However, he adds, “It is cruel and inhuman to deny isolated, disabled, overweight, ugly and elderly people the erotic fulfilment that porn can provide… jerking off is good for your health. Porno magazines and films that aid frequent masturbation are therefore indirectly helping save thousands of lives.”
CAAN has also called for the legalization of “extreme pornography,” which is defined in British law as “explicit pornographic content which depicts life-threatening sexual activities, bestiality, necrophilia, and any act “which involves the non-consensual penetration of a person’s vagina, anus or mouth by another with the other person’s penis or part of the other person’s body or anything else (rape or assault by penetration).”
Leading up to the implementation of legislation criminalizing possession of extreme pornography, CAAN called on supporters to send in “extreme pornographic evidence” in order to establish a database “to see if [the individuals in possession] are at risk of imprisonment and a listing on the Sex Offender Register.”
Yet while campaigning for extreme pornography, CAAN apparently neglected to mention the violent murder which motivated the change in legislation.
In 2003, British special-needs teacher Jane Longhurst was strangled to death by a man with an addiction to sadomasochistic pornography. Graham Coutts, who told the Old Bailey court during his trial that he had had sexually-arousing murderous fantasies about women since the age of 15, had been viewing extreme pornography the day before killing Longhurst by wrapping a pair of nylons around her neck.

Coutts, who had been dating Longhurst’s best friend, argued that the death was an accidental result of consensual sadomasochistic intercourse, whereas the prosecution asserted that he had raped Longhurst while killing her to “satisfy his very long-standing and perverted sexual interest in violence to women.”
A public Facebook group for CAAN members is run by three individuals: vocal trans activist and trans-identified male Jane Fae, a woman named Hannah Mantel, and Dennis Queen, the chosen name of a woman previously known as Clair Lewis, whom Moore has described as his “wife.” Moore is listed as a member of the Facebook group under the name Phoebe Queen.
Lewis, who has held the title of National Convenor for CAAN, is “an out practitioner of BDSM, and has been a polyamorist for 24 years now,” according to a 2017 Facebook post. In an earlier interview with campaign group Polyamory UK, Lewis advises readers to “challenge unfounded concerns” that may arise in a polygamous relationship, and to “allow love to control your behavior, not jealousy.”
In May of 2019, Moore posted to X that he was “pro-kink” and supportive of potentially life-threatening sexual acts in response to growing concerns of women being murdered during so-called “sex games.”
He wrote: “I’m pretty pro-kink and consenting adults doing potentially very edgy stuff. Misadventure during sex is one thing, ppl [sic] have died falling in the shower, they will die occasionally during sex games.”
I’M PRETTY PRO-KINK AND CONSENTING ADULTS DOING POTENTIALLY VERY EDGY STUFF. MISADVENTURE DURING SEX IS ONE THING, PPL HAVE DIED FALLING IN THE SHOWER, THEY WILL DIE OCCASIONALLY DURING SEX GAMES.— Mallory Moore (@Chican3ry) May 9, 2019
In addition to his campaigning through the Trans Safety Network and affiliation with the Consenting Adults Action Network, Moore has repeatedly advocated for the medical “transitioning” of youth.
Crucially, Moore claims to have been involved in discussions which took place during an independent review of clinical practices surrounding medical “transitioning” of children and youth via hormones and puberty-halting drugs.
IN MEETINGS WITH @THECASSREVIEW AND HILARY CASS SPECIFICALLY I PREVIOUSLY TRIED TO RAISE CONCERNS ABOUT THE REVIEW ITSELF BECOMING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANTI-TRANS ACTIVISTS WITH WORRYING LINKS.
NOW THEY’VE HAVE BEEN PROMOTING CONVERSION THERAPY WITHIN THE NHS FOR OVER A YEAR.— Mallory Moore (@Chican3ry) February 14, 2024
The Cass Interim Review, published in March 2022 and led by Dr. Hilary Cass, examined the “significant increase in referrals” for children and youth to the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. The report concluded that there were “gaps in evidence” surrounding children’s gender services, and highlighted potential adverse health effects of puberty-halting drugs, but also stated that “doing nothing cannot be considered a neutral act.”
Moore has condemned the Cass Review and the process involved as biased and “anti-trans,” and divulged that he had been present in meetings with Dr. Hilary Cass while the report was underway. He additionally framed concern around the medical transitioning of minors as a “moral panic,” and has stated that the “prototype transgender person was a trans kid.” Through TSN, Moore has also argued for autistic and disabled individuals to be permitted to undergo transgender surgeries and interventions.
Moreover, Moore was consulted by Europe’s largest LGBT lobby group, Stonewall, during recent updates made to statutory safeguarding guidance Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE). Nancy Kelley, the former CEO of Stonewall, said in her outgoing statement in July 2023 that altering the 2022 edition for KCSIE was one of her proudest achievements in the role.
Responding to Moore on X (formerly Twitter) in March 2022, after he stated that he had “accidentally crashed a properly academic meeting on hate crime research,” then-CEO Kelley remarked, “You are easily, and by about 1000 miles the most impressively well informed and thoughtful person I’ve heard speak on this topic, and I’ve heard 100s of professional researchers at all levels speak on it. You knock em [sic] out of the park.”
During the period that Kelley and Moore apparently shared a working relationship, the KCSIE guidance was amended to add a requirement for “LGBT inclusion” within Relationships and Sex Education and Sex Health Education (RSE) curriculum, to counter “transphobic abuse.” Currently paragraph 205 of the KCSIE policy directs readers to government RSE guidance that lists Stonewall’s own lesson plans for primary and secondary schools as the only resources on LGBT inclusivity.
In addition to having been involved in campaigning for extreme pornography and the medical transitioning of minors, Moore has repeatedly attempted to have events and individuals critical of gender identity ideology shut down or censored, and has a track record of displaying threatening behavior towards women who oppose gender identity ideology.
“I’ve been reporting conversion therapists to professional medical and therapeutic bodies in the UK for over 2 years,” wrote Moore in March 2023, referring to clinical specialists who offer young people alternatives to medical transition, a practice he condemns as “conversion therapy.”
IF YOU WANT TO SEE EXTREME TRANS ACTIVISM MAKE CHANTING IN THE STREETS ILLEGAL.
WHEN YOU TAKE AWAY LEGAL RECOURSE TO RESISTING OPPRESSION YOU LEAVE US ONLY ILLEGAL RECOURSE.
Speaking in defense of a Scottish trans activist who has called for the murder of a female politician and was filmed screaming insults at women, Moore replied to women’s rights advocacy group Sex Matters, saying, “If you want to see extreme trans activism, make chanting in the streets illegal. When you take away legal recourse to resisting oppression, you leave us only illegal recourse. Be careful what you wish for.”
Moore can be seen in video footage shot just prior to his threatening remark following Sex Matters representative Helen Joyce down the street after she left a Manchester meeting on September 11.
“Run, run, you bitch … You’ll be slaughtered soon. Your whole family … dead”, “I wish you the worst in your life, you despicable person. They should have liquidated you on January 7th”, “You disgust me, you animal that you are, I don’t know where you come from, but you disgust me to death. I hope a car runs you over one day”, “Shame on you. Hoping the same rats eat your brain. Karma gives it tkt (don’t worry, editor’s note)”. “You are a pathetic excuse for a woman. A vile creature horribly subservient to your Zionist masters. Hell awaits such monstrosities. Fuck you, you filth!” These were the insults and death threats posted on X (formerly Twitter) against the illustrator Corinne Rey, known as “Coco”, who survived the terrorist attack by the Kouachi brothers on the Charlie Hebdo editorial office on the 7th of January 2015.
🔴 « Cours, sal*pe… Tu seras bientôt massacrée. » La dessinatrice #Coco (rescapée de #CharlieHebdo) menacée de mort après un dessin sur Gaza publié dans #Libération. Une polémique largement relayée et alimentée par des députés de la France Insoumise.#libertedexpression
On Monday of March 11 at 7am, the official account of the newspaper Libération published a cartoon of Coco on the X network, labelled as follows: “Ramadan in Gaza: beginning of a month of fasting”. In front of the ruins of Gaza, a Palestinian mother taps her young, hungry son on the fingers as he chases after two rats holding a bone and a cut-out human eye between their teeth. “Not before sundown!” she says to her offspring. An obvious allusion to the famine that threatens the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip. According to the United Nations, 2.2 million of the 2.4 million inhabitants in this cramped area are affected by famine with an acute shortage of food and fuel.
MeToo allegations raised against top White House official Anthony Bernal, the ‘Work Husband’ of Jill Biden (Image Source – New York Post)
Anthony Bernal, a top official in the White House, has been accused of bullying and sexually harassing colleagues for more than a decade, as highlighted in an investigative report by the New York Post. According to the report, Bernal is considered ‘untouchable’ and wields significant influence as the top aide to Dr. Jill Biden, the First Lady of the United States.
Reportedly, Joe Biden’s wife, Jill Biden, refers to Anthony Bernal as her ‘work husband,’ according to the book ‘American Woman,’ published last month by New York Times reporter Katie Rogers. The book notes that Bernal is ‘known to make life hell for junior aides who find him to be impatient, demanding, and overbearing.’
Anthony Bernal also enjoys enormous clout in the White House operations and Democratic politics. According to the report, based on information from three sources with firsthand knowledge, Bernal has repeatedly speculated in the workplace about the p*n*s size of colleagues.
Two sources speaking with NYP revealed that Bernal (50) shared a theory with them that the size of a person’s thumb corresponds to that of their genitalia. They stated that this occurred on several occasions, both at the White House and when he was in different roles during Biden’s presidential campaign and vice presidency under President Barack Obama.
One source said, “It is to make people uncomfortable and to have power over them.” The person pointed out that they heard Bernal make the crude remarks over several years while they worked together adding, “It is Me Too — classic Me Too.”
A second source revealed hearing Bernal speculate ‘often’ inside the White House about the endowments of fellow political aides and even Secret Service agents.
A third source recalled a disparaging “jab”. According to the source, during a workplace disagreement, Bernal said about a colleague that he had a small p*n*s. In a separate encounter, the top aide of Dr. Biden “remarked on another staffer’s bulge in his khakis.”
Another former White House adviser said, “They talk a big game about integrity, decency, and kindness but when you work for the Bidens, you experience anything but that.”
A source said, “There’s no way [Jill Biden] doesn’t know. It has been going on for so long. I don’t think she has a lot of advisers willing to give her a gut check. I think she thinks that Anthony’s like her bulldog protecting her.”
The Source continued, “He (Bernal) is by far the worst and most well-known abuser, but the Biden White House is a magnet for ugly and abusive workplace behavior. It’s totally inexcusable this day in age, especially with Biden’s own narrative about standing up to bullies.”
“Her (Dr. Jill Biden) book and his (Joe Biden) stern lecture at the beginning of the administration about respect for colleagues is all bulls***. They couldn’t care less how the staff is treated because the staff is totally disposable to them. They’ve had a revolving door of staff catering to them for their entire adult lives,” the source added.
No action against Anthony Bernal, The White House comes out in his defence
The report noted that earlier there were complaints about Anthony Bernal’s ‘abusive’ nature which was pointed out by Politico in August 2021, but no action was taken against him.
One former White House official said, “He’s seen untouchable due to his relationship with the first lady. Staff have been told he’s ‘protected’ by Jill or that they should take it up with him directly.”
Furthermore, the White House released a statement on Monday in which it defended Dr. Biden’s top aide Anthony Bernal. In the statement, White House chief of staff Jeff Zients said, “The president and first lady have full confidence in Anthony’s character, as do I. His many fans at the White House know him to be both gracious and tough, holding himself up to the highest standards, with a heart dedicated to public service. It is disappointing that he is the target of unfounded attacks from unnamed sources.”
Defending himself, Bernal also denied the claims, saying, “These unfounded attacks are not true.”
This is Sexual harassment, says Expert
Louise Fitzgerald is a prominent expert on workplace sexual harassment policy. Speaking with New York Post, Fitzgerald noted that Bernal’s alleged behaviour fits the criteria for wrongful conduct.
The expert added, “It generally has nothing at all to do with getting somebody into bed; rather it’s a power play whose purpose is to denigrate individuals on the basis of their sex, sexuality, or gender presentation.”
Fitzgerald added that gendered hostility “is by far the most common form of sexual harassment.”
“We are here as men who refuse to have their Jewishness and the Holocaust hijacked by an ‘occupation’ which has led to conflict for so many innocent people”.
This is how British filmmaker Jonathan Glazer spouted forth idiocies as he received the Oscar for best international film for “The Zone of Interest”. So what if Gaza has not been under “occupation” since 2005 and Hamas does not know what to do with Glazer’s distancing from his own “Jewishness”? It’s like the Jewishness of Judith Butler, the gender philosopher of Berkeley who last week defined the massacre of 7th October as “armed resistance”. There are no “good Jews” in Hamas’ world.
The directore of “Salafistes”, Francois Margolin, in Le Figaro writes about the success of Glazer’s film: “The bobos (bourgeois bohemians) are only too happy to have a topic of discussion at their next dinner, where they will be able to cite the only phrase they know from Hannah Arendt’s work: ‘The banality of evil’. Which is very surprising because the film is quite austere, not to mention boring. What part of your viewers’ unconscious does it touch? Probably not the clearest or healthiest. Throughout the screening, I couldn’t help but think that this division of the world into two fields, separated by a wall, reminded me of another. Most recent. The one that separates Israel from Gaza. This has become evident since the October 7 massacres. This anti-Semitism that once masked itself behind ‘never again’ and compassion for the Shoah. Because some have always preferred dead Jews to living Jews.”
Singer Billie Eilish and actor Mark Ruffalo were among Academy attendees Sunday night wearing red pins calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. (Ed. The macabre joke’s on them. The pin they chose is a bloody hand celebrating the lynching of two Jews who took a wrong turn into Arab Ramallah by mistake in the year 2000. They were held by Palestinian Arab police, but an Arab mob stormed the building and literally tore them limb from limb, one of them holding up his bloody hands to the window to cheers from outside.)
Meanwhile, Artists4Ceasefire, a group of celebrities and members of the entertainment industry who signed an open letter urging Joe Biden to call for a ceasefire, collected four hundred signatures, including those of Bradley Cooper and America Ferrera, both candidates for Oscars this year, in addition to those of Cate Blanchett and Jennifer Lopez.
However, no pin for the 130 Israeli hostages. And even Steven Spielberg, who presented the best director award to Christopher Nolan for “Oppenheimer,” and is pro-Israel, said nothing. He didn’t dare.
And while Glazer won his Oscar and celebrated it with a stupid self-satisfied sermon against Israel and his fellow artists dressed up in sordid pacifism, the Shoah memorial in Berlin was vandalized and in Amsterdam thousands of demonstrators in the name of Gaza and “peace” besieged the new Shoah museum with less than peaceful means and booed the Dutch king Willem-Alexander and the Israeli president Isaac Herzog.
On October 7, Hamas horrifically exterminated 1,200 Jews in a single day, more than at any time since 1945, and gave the order to kill and cut to pieces children in their mothers’ arms and rape mothers in front of their children, to butcher in the most cruel way possible, to disembowel and rape women of any age, even minors, alive or dead, in such a way as to break the pelvis and legs, to burn entire families alive together with the burning of their objects, of all the symbols of their life, to cut off heads and sell them, to enter the kibbutzim and even raid the clothes closets while beheading was going on in the next room. All this to become the absolute leader of contemporary hatred praised by millions of followers in Europe, in an orgy of hatred not seen in recent history.
And so Europe, which had placed the Shoah in the “Never Again” comfort zone, can not stand up to the real truth of October 7th.
They would like to erase the memory of the Shoah to make another one, in this new “Zone of Interest”.
In a harrowing video, a group of Turkish-speaking students torture a 12-year-old victim, with the film showing the victim repeatedly beaten, forced to kneel, and verbally insulted.
Despite the serious nature of the crime, police are discontinuing their investigation, stating that the young age of the perpetrators, who are also 12, means no charges can be filed.
The video was filmed in the city of Uetersen in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, with the picture and videos published by German newspaper Bild.
Patrick, the 12-year-old victim, had his face pixelated to protect his identity. Bild newspaper notes the entire video is brutal and shows serious physical assault against the victim.
The shots show the perpetrators putting the victim, Patrick, in a state of complete fear, pulling his hair, punching him, and asking to beg forgiveness. Patrick’s face is covered in red marks and apparent blood where he was punched and hit.
The Turkish youth scream “Fuck off!” in Turkish during the video when they finally let their victim go.
There were allegedly five boys involved, with three watching on and one filming. One girl was reportedly also present.
Bild reports that the video was already filmed in February, but a police investigation for assault and torture has already been closed, with the police saying their hands are tied.
“The (…) students are 12-year-old children who are not yet of criminal responsibility according to the law,” said a police spokesperson.
The victim was humiliated on camera in the snuff video, but the victim and the perpetrators still attend the same school.
“From the point of view of the school supervision, the (school) reacted exactly in the right way by immediately involving the police and providing support for the affected student,” a spokeswoman for the Pinneberg district toldBild.
It is unclear if the Turkish-speaking perpetrators will suffer any consequences for the attack, even though the students attend the same school.
According to a spokeswoman, sanctions against the student can only be applied “when incidents have been fully clarified and appropriate resolutions have been made in class conferences. In the case of massive acts of violence, this can also include a referral to another school.”
As Remix News has previously reported, schools are increasingly unsafe and chaotic due to mass immigration, with higher rates of teacher burnout and plummeting national test scores.
It is also not the first video of its kind, with another similar video going viral across Germany showing a young German girl being severely beaten on camera for hours in southern Germany, with none of the perpetrators facing any legal consequences. The victim’s mother reportedly collapsed in shock after seeing the video.
Premier Giorgia Meloni on Monday hailed the reconfirmation of centre-right candidate Marco Marsilio as Abruzzo governor after regional polls on Sunday, saying it is a source of great pride. “Marco Marsilio is the first president in Abruzzo’s history to be reconfirmed for a second term,” said Meloni on social media after provisional results gave the centre-right candidate and incumbent governor 53.5% to the centre-left candidate Luciano D’Amico’s 46.5% with the votes from 100 polling stations out of 1,634 still to count. “And it is a source of great pride for us that the citizens of Abruzzo have wanted to continue to put their trust in him and, with him, to put their trust in the centre-right, which is confirmed as the majority,” she added. “It is a trust that, as always, we will not betray. We will continue to work to put Abruzzo and Italy back in the place they deserve. Thank you!” concluded the premier. Voter turnout in the regional poll that was seen as another important test Meloni’s right-centre coalition after its narrow defeat in regional elections in Sardinia last month and ahead of European parliament elections in June stood at 52.2%, down from 53.11% in 2019. According to data from the Eligendo portal, Meloni’s Brothers of Italy (FdI) took the biggest share of votes at 24%, followed by the centre-left Democratic Party (PD) with 20%, centre-right Forza Italia with 13.2%, right-wing League and Abruzzo insieme both with 7.6% and centre-left Five Star Movement (M5S) with 7%. “Forza Italia’s success in Abruzzo definitively confirms the centrality of a movement that is occupying the political space between Giorgia Meloni and the Democratic Party,” party secretary, Deputy Premier and foreign Minister Antonio Tajani told Affaritaliani.it. “Italy needs a serious, credible, reliable and responsible force that can bring peace of mind to its citizens,” he continued. “Forza Italia’s excellent result is the real news of yesterday’s vote in Abruzzo. Now we are working to win in Basilicata and Piemonte and exceed 10% in the European elections,” he added. Southern Basilicata is due to hold regional elections on April 21 and 22, while residents of northern Piemonte will vote for their new regional government on the same days as the European Parliament elections on June 8-9. “A clear victory for the centre-right, with a good result for the League. Thanks Abruzzo, on we go with good governance for another five years!” said the League in a statement on Monday.
Irish Government ministers faced widespread criticism after jetting-off for St Patrick’s Day celebrations in the US and elsewhere, just a week after a botched referendum campaign led to the highest ever “no” vote in Ireland’s referendum history.
The family referendum – defining families as “durable relationships” and the care referendum – stating the Government would “strive” to help family carers – were both shot down in flames.
Still, some 35 ministers made their way to Dublin Airport as the political fallout in the capital rained down. Among those taking flight was Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Leo Varadkar, who headed to Washington DC on March 11.
Varadkar’s trip to see US President Joe Biden was already controversial to government critics who said it illustrated backing for the US support of Israel in the Gaza conflict.
A February poll showed 52 per cent of Irish people thought: ”Ireland should be stronger internationally in defending the Palestinians,” more than double the 23 per cent who disagreed.
“Tell Biden there will be no shamrock when there is not a total ceasefire and an end to the bloody occupation,” Solidarity TD Mick Barry told Varadkar in Ireland’s Dáil (Parliament) at the time.
“You seem to be a little bit obsessed about the bowl of shamrock and that takes about 20 seconds,” Varadkar retorted, noting he would have two meetings with Biden over three days.
Varadkar’ latest US jaunt kicks off with a meeting with Massachusetts Governor Maura Healy before he will speak that evening at Boston’s JFK Presidential Library and Museum.
On March 15, he will meet Biden in the Oval Office after breakfast with Vice President Kamala Harris. He then heads to Capitol Hill to meet Mike Johnson, a Republican who is speaker of the House of Representatives.
Then, on March 17, St Patrick’s day, he returns to the White House more informally, to present Biden with the bowl of shamrocks.
As other political bigwigs made their choices for a trip away, Micheál Martin, the Tánaiste (Deputy Prime Minister), opted for Canada, while health minister Stephen Donnelly headed to Australia as junior finance minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill jetted off to Miami
While Varadkar’s Government presented the getaways as diplomacy as usual, online commentators hammered ministers for their “junkets”, which come after the governing coalition’s two referendums were humiliatingly rejected on March 8.
After MacNeill tweeted: “Yes, yes vote cast in Killiney and now I’m off to the airport for St Patrick’s Day travel to promote Ireland in the USA and Mexico,” voter Kieran McCarthy replied on X: “I’m a full-time Carer and spent the morning cleaning poo off my Mam who has dementia … I’m glad you get to use our tax money to have a holiday. Vote No/No.”
Senator Tom Clonan, who has a disabled son, had successfully called for voters to reject the Government’s care referendum, saying it absolved the State from any responsibility for caring for disabled citizens.
There was no immediate word, though, from disability minister Roderic O’Gorman, who was headed away to Japan, or social protection minister Heather Humphreys, soaring off to Chicago.
“Do you think you’ll get there on time for the 17th?” read another reply to MacNeill, while a third quipped: “Have they not already heard of us in America?”
Leaving on the 8th. Do you think you'll get there on time for the 17th?
At best, Varadkar’s Government had not foreseen the possibility it might lose both March 8 referendums, or what negative reactions might ensue following most senior governmental figures leaving Dublin on business-class flights immediately afterwards.
For justice minister Helen McEntee, it was New York, while sports minister Thomas Byne opted for Phoenix and Senate chair Jerry Buttimer fancied a spell in San Francisco.
Culture minister Catherine Martin chose to put her feet up in Nashville and Austin, while public-expenditure minister Paschal Donohoe favoured France. Trade minister Simon Coveney felt India was his preferred destination.
Former Irish ambassador to the US Daniel Mulhall said other European Union ambassadors envied what he termed Ireland’s ability to monopolise the agenda in the US for a day.
“When I was in Washington, my EU colleagues were agog at Ireland’s ability to hog the limelight there for a full day each year,” he noted.
According to some, there is little point complaining about the US visits. As Constantin Gurdgiev, a finance professor at Trinity College Dublin and California’s Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, said: “Boycotting the White House is about as stupid as boycotting the Moon.
“It’s there. It has immense power.”
The now-annual, almost semi-sacred tradition of shamrocks to the Oval Office boasts some 70 years of history.
In 1952, Ireland’s ambassador John Hearne sent a small box of them to then-president Harry Truman. He was not in to receive them, apparently, but sent a note of thanks – and an annual tradition was born. Taoiseach John Costello’s offering arrived in 1956.
These occurrences gradually “moved St Patrick’s Day up the political agenda”, according to Michael Kennedy, executive editor of the Royal Irish Academy’s Documents on Irish Foreign Policy programme.
From quiet origins it became “a full-blown media event” during the presidency of John F Kennedy, he said.
In that case, then-Canadian ambassador Thomas Kiernan sourced shamrock from near Kennedy’s ancestral home in Ireland’s County Wexford.
Ireland’s annual audience with the US president also offered a chance for Richard Nixon to discuss the “Troubles” in Ireland in the mid-1960s, as well as Bill Clinton to push the peace process by offering a handshake in 1995 with then-Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams.
That came in return for agreeing to discuss decommissioning arms with then-UK prime minister John Major’s government.
An asylum seeker has exposed how illegal immigrants deliberately convert religion to stay in the UK.
The Church of England is coming under fire from MPs after hearing how migrants use conversion to bolster claims.
The Home Affairs Select Committee will quiz senior Lambeth Palace figures about the “genuiness of conversion”.
Asylum seeker Bilal Jaf revealed migrants coming to Britain know changing religions remains an effective method for bolstering an asylum claim.
“The best way to get a paper [giving you the legal right to stay] in Europe is if you can convert from Muslim to Christian,” the Iraqi Kurd told The Daily Express.
“If they know you are atheist and convert there it’s not [as effective].
“They will visit a church until they get a paper [to stay in Britain]. After that they don’t care and don’t go.
“The second way [to boost claims] is to change their sexuality to be gay or lesbian or to say they identify [as a different gender].”
Concerns about conversion last month forced Home Secretary James Cleverly to investigate how asylum seekers use religion to bolster claims.
Clapham chemical attacker Abdul Ezedi and Liverpool hospital bomber Emad Al Swealmeen both converted to Christianity.
Jaf said: “The guy who converts for the reason [of staying in Britain] is not a good guy, they don’t have humanity or morals.”
The Home Affairs Select Committee will also examine how churches assess conversion.
A Church of England spokesperson said: “It is the duty of the Home Office, not churches, to make decisions on asylum applications.”
A Home Office spokesperson added: “All asylum claims are carefully considered on their individual merits in accordance with the immigration rules.
“This means that religious conversions do not guarantee a grant of asylum.
“We have engaged with a wide range of stakeholders to help us to improve our policy guidance, training for asylum decision-makers, and to ensure we approach claims involving religious conversion in the appropriate way.”
