The United Kingdom showcased its submission to mass immigration on Tuesday by flying the Pakistani flag above its most important Anglican church.
Footage shared across the X platform showed the flag of Pakistan flying above Westminster Abbey, an Anglican church in central London that is host to royal weddings, funerals, and other national occasions.
According to the Pakistan High Commission, the flag was hoisted to celebrate Pakistan Day, a national holiday commemorating the adoption of the first Constitution of Pakistan.
“Special prayers were offered for the progress and prosperity of Pakistan, its leadership & people as well as for the continued friendship between the two countries,” the commission noted.
“A large number of British citizens, Churchgoers and officials from Pakistan High Commission attended the event.”
Such an act of deference is particularly offensive to Christians given Pakistan’s brutal persecution of its Christian minority, who are regularly the target of the country’s blasphemy laws.
According to Global Christian Relief, Christian persecution in Pakistan “includes large-scale kidnappings of young believers who are thrust into forced marriages, dreadful violence directed at churches on feast days, and societal discrimination.”
“Today, Christian persecution in Pakistan is evident in the form of job discrimination; over 80% of Pakistani believers are from these lower echelons of society and often work undesirable jobs,” the organization notes.
Inconceivable crime due to violated honour: On their journey heading south from Denmark, Syrian Samer M. (36) once again got into a violent argument with his wife. The mother of two (32) wanted to separate. Suddenly, the migrant stopped his silver Suzuki on the hard shoulder of the A7 motorway near Hamburg, pulled out a kitchen knife and stabbed the woman as if in a bloodlust. According to the autopsy, he stabbed her at least 24 times in the head, neck and upper body. The victim, covered in blood, fled from the front passenger seat to the back seat, made it out of the car and ran away in agony. Unimaginable: Samer M. pursued his wife, literally driving her into the flow of traffic on the motorway, according to the Flensburg public prosecutor’s office.
A lorry driver was unable to brake in time and hit the mother of two head-on. The 32-year-old died at the scene of the accident. According to the public prosecutor, the Syrian wanted to “restore his honour”, as the victim wanted to separate from him and custody of their children had already been taken from him. Even before the fatal confrontation, Samer M. had allegedly physically attacked his wife several times.
The defence pleaded dangerous bodily harm and diminished culpability because the migrant had been on drugs and was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder due to his flight from Syria.
However, the court ruled against him. It convicted the Syrian of attempted murder. Attempted murder, because it could not be proven that he had premeditated the entire offence. But: The criminal division imposed the highest possible sentence. It sentenced Samer M. to life imprisonment.
A Nepalese migrant has been arrested in France for the brutal murder of a 67-year-old man who was found lying in a pool of his own blood in his apartment in Lyon last year.
The 30-year-old suspect was detained by authorities on March 20 and taken into custody.
The arrest pertains to a discovery made on Aug. 27, 2022, when firefighters were alerted by residents of an apartment block about a stench emanating from one of the apartments. A response unit entered the property to find the remains of a 67-year-old man who had been viciously attacked.
Initial findings quickly established that the victim had suffered multiple blows with a bladed weapon. A source close to the case referred to a severed carotid artery in the neck.
A post-mortem suggested the crime had been committed several days earlier, given the state of decomposition of the body.
The public prosecutor instructed the Lyon Criminal Investigation Department to carry out an investigation. According to sources, unknown DNA was found in various parts of the home.
The police’s in-depth investigation revealed a phone history with an individual who had become the prime suspect in the case.
On Wednesday, the targeted man was finally arrested in his apartment on the Cours Émile-Zola, in Villeurbanne, Lyon. A search of the premises was also conducted.
The 30-year-old suspect, originally from Nepal, was taken into custody, as confirmed by the public prosecutor’s office to ActuLyon.
He was put before a magistrate on Friday, where the Lyon public prosecutor’s office requested that he be remanded in custody.
It is not yet known whether the 30-year-old has made any comments regarding what he is accused of during his initial hearings.
A trans activist drag queen is standing trial for 2019 charges related to the sexual abuse of a teen boy he met through gay hookup app Grindr. Dwight Evan Chisholm, also known as “Sno Wight,” was already a lifetime entrant of the sex offender registry when he began grooming the boy.
As previously reported by Reduxx, Chisolm was initially convicted in 2011 on charges of sexually assaulting a child and sentenced to three years in prison in Brown County.
Upon his release in 2015, Chisolm was listed in official records as homeless and was therefore ordered to report his whereabouts to authorities on a weekly basis. But two years later, the Wisconsin Department of Corrections lost contact with Chisolm, who had stopped making the mandatory weekly declarations of his location. For the following year and a half, authorities were unable to locate him.
In December of 2018, the state’s District Attorney’s office charged Chisolm with failure to provide information as a sex offender and a judge signed a warrant for his arrest.
A trans activist is back behind bars after police found he was teaching dance to children despite the fact he is a registered child sex offender.
Dwight Chisolm is a drag queen who performs under the name Sno Wight.
In 2019, Chisolm was again arrested and charged on 8 counts related to the sexual abuse of a 17-year-old boy he met on Grindr — a gay hookup app. According to court records obtained by Reduxx, Chisolm used Grindr and Snapchat to communicate with the boy, and had lied about his own age in an apparent effort to instill a sense of trust.
The teen told authorities he had twice met up with Chisolm, with whom he was sexually abused in the garage of a property on Green Bay’s east side, which had been listed as Chisolm’s residence. The property was located across the street from Green Bay East High School.
For his sexual abuse of the boy, Chisolm was charged with a number of offenses including exposing his genitals to a child, enticement of a child, and sexual intercourse with a child.
The charges filed in 2019.
Chisolm was bonded out pending trial in 2021 and was given strict conditions not to have any unsupervised contact with minors.
But in 2023, Chisolm was once again arrested after law enforcement learned that he had been volunteering at Wolves Cave Studio in Green Bay where he had been teaching dance to children using the monikers “Coach Sno” and “Sno Wight.”
At the time, local news reported that the owner of the studio confirmed that Chisolm had been volunteering there, but declined to be named. The owner told NBC 26 that she had been unaware of Chisolm’s history of sexually abusing minors and, because he was not a paid employee, had not thought to perform a background check.
As previously revealed by Reduxx, Chisolm had been operating two Facebook profiles under the name “Sno Wight” where he was seen advertising his dance classes for boys and girls aged 6 to 19. The promotional image contained photos of young girls in suggestive poses.
On both profiles, Chisolm had posted videos of children performing drag.
Despite being a registered sex offender, Chisolm had managed to gain some notoriety in Green Bay’s LGBT activist community in the two-year period he was free on bond.
Another video of Chisolm available on his TikTok profile shows him appearing to threaten anyone who uses “the wrong pronouns” to address him. He has also shared a video wherein he twerks in his underwear, which is captioned: “It doesn’t matter what’s between my legs, I’m still a woman.”
In a series of videos posted in December last year, Chisolm rails against “black people discriminating against the LGBT community.”
“I don’t tolerate discrimination. I don’t tolerate hate. You will accept me and love me for who I am. All I do is bleed love and grace. It is you who make me the monster, it is you who make me angry,” Chisolm threatens. “I am a very loving and caring person, but when it comes to discrimination, I will spit in your motherf*cking face, b*tch.”
According to court records, Chisolm attempted to be removed from the sex offender registry in 2021 while awaiting a hearing on his 2019 charges, but the motion was denied.
Around this time, he was invited to perform drag at the Tarlton Theater to commemorate the Trans Day of Remembrance as part of a troupe called Divaluscious. Photos shared to Chisolm’s Facebook account show him holding a transgender pride flag while standing outside of the building. For his advocacy, he was given a platform and interviewed on ABC 2.
Department of Corrections records show that Chisolm has been in custody since his re-arrest in 2023.
On February 7, Chisolm was convicted of working with children as a registered sex offender, and was sent to the Doge Correctional Institution to serve his sentence. His case related to the 2019 sexual abuse of the teen boy is still moving through the court system, and Chisolm is occasionally shuttled back to Brown County Jail to attend hearings at the Brown County Courthouse.
He was most recently booked into the Brown County Jail for a hearing on March 21, and will be returned to Brown County Jail again on July 2.
On Friday March 22, two former journalists from Mediapart and a former lawyer for jihadists were given suspended prison sentences of between 10 months and three years. They allegedly transferred money to members of the Islamic State to help them leave the “caliphate” and surrender, according to their arguments. The most severe sentence was given to the former lawyer, who was sentenced to three years’ probation. He had admitted to being involved in bribing an Iraqi army officer to try to save the life of jihadist Maximilien Thibaut. While the former lawyer admitted to the bribe, he denied the allegations of financing terrorism. Nevertheless, he and the two journalists have to pay a solidarity fine of 10,000 euros.
The latter two women, Edith Bouvier and Céline Martelet, were also sentenced to 10 and 12 months’ imprisonment with simple probation. They were accused of transferring money to pay traffickers to “smuggle” several women out of Syria and Iraq. The authors of a book about French women who joined Daesh are also alleged to have been involved in the rescue operation of Maximilien Thibaut. The former Mediapart journalists have admitted that they “overstepped” the scope of their role, but claim that they acted out of “humanity” to “save lives”. On Friday, they reiterated that they “never financed terrorism” and said they were “shocked by the severity of a judgement” that they consider unjust. According to their lawyer, Edith Bouvier and Céline Martelet will lodge an appeal.
Polite and smart and punctual, it once was good to be. Not any more! This one is sure to end my career (if it isn’t already over). I hope you enjoy it. I can’t tell you how much belief I have in these songs, which is why I persist with with them and what to grow them into something bigger. Thank you for your support!

We are currently experiencing another “unforeseen” consequence of COVID lockdowns. Every day, in medical practices across our country, doctors are treating patients with viral injuries to the body’s nervous system at a level of virulence not seen in recent memory. Not only are continuously mutating strains of COVID to blame, but viruses other than COVID also seem to be more toxic to our nervous systems.
It may not be “War of the Worlds,” with alien invaders decimated by common viral pathogens on Earth, but it’s a B-movie spin-off with a less lethal plot. Fortunately, if we can manage to avoid future ill designed lockdowns, regaining collective immunity should help us get over this problem.
Physicians assign, usually by default, viral illness as the most likely etiology in the sudden onset of cranial nerve injuries. Sudden loss of smell and taste, a change in the mobility of the eye muscles, loss of hearing with or without new-onset vertigo, loss of facial muscle mobility, movement disorders of the tongue or throat, and sudden breathiness of the voice are examples of damage done to different cranial nerves.
The seed of this epidemic in more virulent virus-induced nerve damage germinated during our forced lockdowns in response to COVID-19. While we were not going to work or school and avoiding crowds, our exposure to viruses plummeted. For example, that first year, the U.S. basically had no “flu season.” Viruses continued to mutate, however, becoming more communicable and virulent while our immune systems were not being exposed. When we ultimately did, the viruses caused worse damage to our bodies. Our immunity hadn’t kept up. We had an “Immunity Debt.”
One of the unfortunate issues related to loss of cranial nerve function, well documented in the loss of smell, taste, and hearing, is an increased rate of earlier-onset dementia. Most people recovered their ability to smell and taste after the virus, but many didn’t. Significant percentages of those who lost their ability to hear by viral injury didn’t recover, either. The long-term consequences are worrisome.
We all learned through experience that forced isolation poured gasoline on the fire of decline in patients already suffering from dementia. COVID and other viruses may have been directly responsible for brain injury resulting in decline in cognition, too. While many victims tested positive for COVID when losing their nerve function, many did not. Our issue with immunity debt means that viruses other than COVID could be to blame.
It would be difficult to exclude the possibility of viral injury to parts of the nervous system other than those involving the cranial nerves. Indeed, the probability is high. As an example, many people have issues related to their alimentary tract after COVID, with food seeming to go right through them when they eat. A percentage of patients who suffer from this problem still haven’t improved many months after their illness, losing weight and vitality, sometimes to a frightening degree. We might blame the flora of the gut for this illness, but viral effect on the autonomic nervous system is possible.
Like this postulated problem, many bizarre effects from these more aggressive, virulent strains of virus are likely to be discovered with time. The lesson we’ve learned is that not having exposure to evolving viral strains has consequences for our immunity. Our immune systems do better when we keep up.
The German Evangelical Church (EKD) has stripped one of its pastors of his parish office after he announced his candidacy for the Saxony-Anhalt local elections, representing the national conservative Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, Junge Freiheitwrote.
The pastor, Martin Michaelis, has been running for a seat in the Quedlinburg city council in AfD colors once before and ended up in the spotlight during the pandemic for criticizing the church’s vaccination campaign, which branded taking the COVID vaccine “an expression of active Christian charity.”
After taking part in a protest against the government’s pandemic measures, Michaelis was transferred from his parish in Quedlinburg and given the office of the nearby Gatersleben, where he has been serving until now.
As the party’s popularity reached record highs earlier this year, Michaelis’ decision to run again on the AfD’s list has proved to be a red line for his church, which has apparently subscribed to the mainstream narrative that AfD consists of dangerous right-wing extremists bent on destroying German democracy.
“It is in the interest of the church that pastors are also politically involved, but this does not apply to engagement in parties that take constitutionally questionable positions,” the Evangelical church said in a statement on Monday. “With the candidacy for the AfD, Mr. Michaelis supports the ideas of the AfD. … This is not compatible with the position of pastor.”
The rise of AfD has prompted the German mainstream forces to launch an unprecedented media campaign against the party and “right-wing extremism” in general. Just recently, the German Lutheran Church also joined the massive “Together for Democracy” alliance made of civil society actors, legacy media outlets, and the largest German companies aiming to rally the population against this purported right-wing menace.
The past weeks’ relentless campaign against the AfD did have an effect in the polls, as the party’s popularity dropped to 19% from its 22% peak in late December. Still, the populist party continues to keep second place nationwide, behind only the center-right CDU/CSU but ahead of all three parties of the governing trio. AfD is currently leading the polls in three German states and is projected to secure 20 seats in the European parliament in June.
Today, Tuesday March 26, the court in Grenoble sentenced the deputy Mohamed Makni from Echiroll to four months’ suspended imprisonment for glorifying terrorist offences. The judges did not impose the fine and one year’s ineligibility that had been demanded at the hearing on the 20th of February. Mohamed Makni was on trial because he had shared messages on social networks without distancing himself from them, which spoke of “acts of resistance” in connection with an attack by Hamas on civilians in Israel on the 7th of October 2023. His lawyer Elsa Marcel pleaded for acquittal, citing “freedom of expression” and “a legitimate public debate”.
She added that “a suspended sentence is an extremely severe punishment for sharing a post on social media”. “Of course I am innocent and we will see this through to the end,” said Mohamed Makni. Even though he is ineligible and his conviction will not appear in certificate no. 2 of his criminal record, which can be requested for everyday occurrences, the politician immediately decided to appeal. Politically, Mohamed Makni was removed from his position as deputy mayor of Échirolles immediately after the incidents and expelled from the Socialist Party.
“He is a first offender […] and therefore this is the usual case law,” said Eric Hattab, lawyer for CRIF Grenoble. The Council of Jewish Institutions, together with the OJE, a European Jewish organisation, had acted as joint plaintiffs. Mr Makni will be sentenced, found guilty, and that is the most important thing,” stated the lawyer, “it is the message that our country’s justice system is sending out: No, Hamas is not a resistance movement, no, the deeds carried out by Hamas are not acts of resistance, and from this point of view we are satisfied.” Until the next appeal hearing.
The motion passed by a single vote at Dresden city council on Friday., Wikimedia Commons , X-Weinzar, CC-BY-SA-2.5
A motion proposed by the right-wing Alternative for Germany to give asylum seekers payment cards instead of cash in the state of Saxony passed by a single vote after a left-wing lawmaker went for “a joint” and missed the vote.
The move was debated by the Dresden city council on Friday, with anti-mass migration councilors calling on the city to switch to topped-up cards to prevent asylum seekers from spending taxpayer-funded cash benefits in the black market on drugs and prostitution.
After many hours of debate, and ahead of the vote at 6 p.m., left-wing councilor Max Aschenbach announced on his X account that he was “going for a joint” and subsequently missed the crucial vote.
Around 15 minutes later, he returned to the chamber and posted: “Just came back up and everyone is bullying me because the stupid AfD payment card application was passed with the votes of the CDU and FDP.”
The motion succeeded by a single vote with 53 in favor to 52 against.
An inquest is now underway among the co-governing FDP party and the opposition CDU as to why local lawmakers voted in solidarity with the AfD motion, with the long-standing practice being that Germany’s mainstream parties do not support AfD motions.
CDU leader Freidrich Merz said the decision to support the motion was “correct in substance but unacceptable in procedure.”
“That was a mistake. And we will talk to those affected about everything else,” he added.
The topic of migrant payment cards has made national headlines in recent weeks as Germany attempts to clamp down on the misuse of taxpayer-funded benefits and lessen the pull factors for the latest influx of new arrivals into the country.
Last month, the Free Democrats (FDP) even warned that they could pull out of the three-way left-liberal government if the Green party blocked a new rule mandating benefit cards instead of cash payments to migrants.
Local municipalities across the country have already introduced laws stipulating that benefits must be paid via payment cards instead of cash, but this contravenes existing federal law, namely the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act, which states that migrants should receive payments “primarily as a cash benefit.”
Plans to amend the law to move towards a cashless system are underway to ensure that funds stay off the black market and remain in the country, preventing migrants from sending cash back home and taking it out of the German economy.
