Month: July 2024

Law enforcement officials have acknowledged that it was “surprising” how the gunman was able to target former President Donald Trump with so many bullets before eventually being killed by Secret Service snipers. At an early 14th July press briefing, representatives of the Pennsylvania State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation deferred several security-related queries to the Secret Service which was conspicuously missing. FBI Special Agent Kevin Rojek responded, “It is surprising but, to get all the details of that will come out later in the investigation,” when asked if he was astonished by the number of shots the gunman managed to fire at the former president.

Rojek added, “The Secret Service really needs to answer that question,” emphasizing that the FBI was only there to assist Secret Service as they were in charge of protecting the area. Lt. Col. George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police made an effort to defend the Secret Service over the security breach that almost cost Donald Trump his life. He claimed, “In their defense, what I would want to say is it is incredibly difficult to have a venue open to the public and secure that against any possible threat against a determined attacker, that’s a huge lift to try and do it.”

However, not everybody agrees that not much could be done. Chairman of the House Oversight Committee James Comer declared that his committee will grill Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle about the serious security breach and launch an investigation into the incident that endangered former President Donald Trump. Around 130 yards from the stage at the Butler County Fair Grounds, a 20-year-old sniper named Thomas Matthew Crooks positioned himself atop a building with a clear view of the former president. According to authorities, while Donald Trump was speaking, Crooks opened fire striking President Trump’s ear, killing one rally attendee and gravely wounding another.

As soon as Donald Trump was hit, Secret personnel sprang into action, dragging a bleeding Donald Trump off stage. The snipers then eliminated the assailant, according to the police. During the early press briefing, the authorities refused to reveal the attacker’s identity. According to officials, the FBI has not yet determined the reason behind the attack. Kevin Rojek informed, “We do not currently have an identified motive and our investigators are working tirelessly to attempt to identify what that motive was.”

Additionally, officials stated that it was too soon to assess whether or not the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump was a “lone wolf” attack. Lt. Col. George Bivens declared, “Too early to say that. We have one shooter tentatively identified. We’re not stopping there. We’re following up on a lot of information, it will be some time until we can conclusively say (it was a single gunman).”

A transgender OnlyFans model has been arrested in Chachoengsao, Thailand, on charges of luring minors into producing child sexual exploitation material. The man, identified in press only as Patipat, earned a substantial income from the abuse material, and was detained by officers from the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division on July 1.

According to a warrant issued by the criminal court on July 1, Patipat had deceived a 17 year-old teenager into creating pornographic content which he then shared to his OnlyFans account. Leading up to the arrest, police had been closely monitoring social media accounts suspected of the distribution of child pornography. During the investigation, authorities discovered Patipat’s X (formerly Twitter) account, which boasted over 130,000 followers at the time.

The X account led investigators to Patipat’s OnlyFans account, where he had published over 100 videos depicting explicit sexual activities. News outlet Thaiger reports that Patipat “aggressively promoted” his pornography and charged 350 baht (approx. $10 USD) for an OnlyFans subscription, and 99 baht (approx. $3 USD) for a subscription to his media on X.

Police discovered that several videos sold by Patipat were of minors participating in sexual acts. Some of the victims were coerced into making pornography in public places, such as forests, fields, and boxing rings.

During police interrogation, Patipat confessed to sexually exploiting children in order to boost his follower count. He told law enforcement he had created his social media profiles six months prior as “an easy way to earn an average monthly income of 100,000 baht (approx. $2,754 USD).”

Patipat claimed the competition among pornography creators on OnlyFans forced him to resort to producing child pornography.

Patipat faces charges of human trafficking for exploiting minors through the production and distribution of child pornography, importing obscene content into computer systems for commercial purposes, and child abduction.

While limited identifying information has been released by the Thai press, Reduxx has located social media accounts which appear to belong to the pornographer arrested, using his location and clothing as verification.

Patipat Naknoi of Chachoengsao has been posting to social media about his “love” for children and creating pornographic images of himself. Since the publicized arrest, the social media accounts of Naknoi have become inactive.

Additionally, an April 2018 post to Naknoi’s Facebook account depicts him holding a document verifying his registration for military conscription. In Thailand, all males must register for possible military service from the age of 21, with the process beginning in the month of April. Naknoi turned 21 in February 2018.

Naknoi has also shared sexualized images of himself in a boxing ring, similar to the accused Patipat’s preferred location for making pornographic content. Using filters and editing apps, Naknoi frequently distorted his appearance to make him seem younger, thinner, and more feminine. As a result, his appearance varied wildly across his many photos and videos.

The man has referred to himself as “kathoey” (กะเทย), a Thai term referring to a male transvestite or transsexual.

A June 2021 post celebrates the four-year anniversary of Naknoi’s breast implants, having undergone the surgery in 2017. At the time, he shared a photo of his bandaged and swollen chest. When one commenter asked him what had happened, Naknoi replied, “I’m making milk.”

In another response, Naknoi reveals that he had the procedure performed by Dr. Thep Vejvisith, a cosmetic surgeon known to be popular among men colloquially known as Thai “ladyboys.”

Naknoi’s implants feature prominently across his social media profiles, having even named his TikTok account @Pumpui600cc, a reference to the size of his breast implants. But the recent photo of Naknoi being arrested indicates he has either gained a substantial amount of weight, was fabricating his breast size using prosthetics, or perhaps had the implants removed.

Naknoi is not the first “ladyboy” to be arrested in Thailand in connection to the sexual exploitation of children.

As previously reported by Reduxx in 2022, a Thai man who self-identified as transgender was arrested at a hotel in Phuket for allegedly arranging a child trafficking scheme.

Supalak Chumphan, 37, was wanted by local police for the exploitation of children via the sex trafficking of mostly girls under the age of 18. Chumphan offered the children for sale on Twitter, reportedly using the name “Pepsi” on his account to find potential buyers before contacting johns on the mobile application Line.

According to French Interior Minister Darmanin, a minor was arrested on suspicion of planning a terror attack on July 14th celebrations in Angers, France.

This announcement comes nearly two hours after French media announced four minors were arrested throughout the country over suspicions of planning terror attacks.

The National Anti-Terror Prosecutors Office confirmed to BFMTV that five suspects, four of which were minors have been indicted on terrorism charges over the past twenty-four hours. Their report reads below:

“Two of them, aged 16 and 20, were placed in pre-trial detention on Friday, July 12. The 14-year-old minor was placed under judicial supervision.

These three suspects were arrested earlier this week in the Île-de-France, Occitanie and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur regions, before being placed in police custody on the premises of the Directorate General of Internal Security (DGSI) in Levallois-Perret (Hauts-de-Seine).”

Two of the suspects, a 17-year old boy and a 14-year old girl had married and pledged to go to Mozambique or Syria to join ISIS, before or after carrying out their attacks. The boy was arrested at the end of May.

This follows a slew of Islamic violence and thwarted plots in France in 2024, undoubtedly fueled by unfettered illegal migration and the results of the October 7th terrorism attack.

Teachers in the UK have reportedly been told to present the history of the British Empire similarly to the horrors of Nazi Germany.

So-called “anti-racist” guidance said to be offered to teachers in the UK has argued that both Nazi Germany and the British Empire should be presented as powers that “committed atrocities” and that teachers should refrain from offering students information about the historical goods done by the Empire.

According to The Telegraph, the guidance produced by “The Key” school support organisation stated that schools should “teach colonialism as ‘invading and exploiting’ other countries, and present the British Empire as you would other global powers that committed atrocities, e.g. Nazi Germany”.

The document reportedly continued to advise educators to “avoid presenting the British Empire as an equal balance of good and bad… The problem with the ‘balance sheet’ model is that the beneficiaries of Empire were one group of people (i.e. the colonisers) and the losers were those who were colonised.”

Additionally, it is said to have instructed teachers: “Don’t ignore the racism of historical figures such as Winston Churchill or the prejudices against black people expressed by Mahatma Gandhi – be upfront about their problematic views and the historical context that allowed them to go unchallenged.”

Meanwhile, despite classifying the British Empire as akin to Nazi Germany, the guidance reportedly says that teachers should honour the contributions of “Caribbean, African and Indian soldiers who fought for Britain in both World Wars” when the Empire still existed.

Conversely, the curriculum advice is said to argue that teachers should avoid presenting “white saviour narratives” such as the “focus on white abolitionists such as William Wilberforce” who was a leading voice in the international Christian movement to abolish slavery.

The Telegraph reported that the “anti-racist” guidance was first introduced under the Conservative government in 2022 and has since been used as an example of best practices for schools to follow by local councils in West Sussex and East Renfrewshire.

‘The Key’ was originally founded in 2007 as a government pilot programme and currently claims to be “the leading provider of support for schools and trusts” and states that it is “trusted by over half of all schools in England”.

Criticising the leftist guidance, Professor Emeritus at Cambridge University Robert Tombs said that the document was nothing more than “blatant propaganda”.

“To assert that the British Empire benefited only the British and only did damage to the colonised is absurd,” the historian said.

“Nothing is said about economic development; nothing about how the Empire suppressed slavery; nothing about peacekeeping and the ending of chronic violence.

“It is a glaring self-contradiction that the document compares the Empire to Nazi Germany and yet wishes to celebrate the many colonial soldiers who voluntarily fought for the Empire.”

The guidance is just the latest example of the push from leftist groups and academics towards “decolonising the curriculum”, a movement similar to Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the United States which focuses on the negative aspects of British colonialism such as slavery while downplaying the Empire’s role in abolishing the practice in the Western world.

Other targets of the leftist ideological movement in Britain have included Isaac Newton, Medieval English literature, the theory of evolution, and even tropical viruses.

Glorification of terrorism, torturing a cat and insulting police officers: homeless man convicted 36 times and banned from staying in prison until his trial.

The 52-year-old homeless man Moktar B. is a regular at the criminal court in Montauban. He wears a shaggy pepper-and-salt beard, rimmed glasses on his nose and a light brown, stained parka.

The Moroccan national, who was born in Algeria and charged with public glorification of acts of terrorism and mistreatment of a pet, among other things, will be tried in summary proceedings on Friday the 12th of July 2024.

[…]
The suspect, who was arrested by the municipal police for shoplifting, was intoxicated and insulted the officers. He also allegedly threatened them by saying: “Allah akbar! I’m going to blow you all up, you infidels (sic),” said chairwoman Anne-France Ribeyron.

At the same time, the operator of the Montauban town hall’s CCTV said he saw him playing football with a pet cat. The animal was entrusted to the animal welfare organisation. The man was taken into police custody and still had a blood alcohol level of 1.38 g after nine hours of sobering up.

[…]
The magistrate also points out that the defendant has an extensive criminal record with 36 entries, including 31 convictions.

[…]
Before the court recesses to deliberate, the defence lawyer protests against the accusation of glorifying terrorism. “This is a choice of words that plays into the hands of the extremists and is regrettable on the part of the public prosecutor,” rages lawyer Séverine Lheureux in her blunt manner.

“I don’t see what’s terrorist about the fact that he said ‘Allah akbar (God is great, in Arabic)’,” complains the defence lawyer. La Dépêche

The European Union is offering to make “illegal secret deals” with big tech companies to enable the censorship of social media, X boss Elon Musk has claimed.

In an X post published on July 12, Musk claims that the Commission is now targeting X due to its refusal to comply with the allegedly under-the-table agreement.

The European Commission offered 𝕏 an illegal secret deal: if we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us.

The other platforms accepted that deal.

𝕏 did not. https://t.co/4lKsaRsYoA

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 12, 2024

“The European Commission offered X an illegal secret deal: if we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us,” he said.

“The other platforms accepted that deal. X did not.”

Musk’s post was in direct response to a statement issued by European Commission Vice-President Margrethe Vestager announcing that the EU had found X to be in breach of the Digital Services Act.

Vestager, along with the Commission’s self-styled “Digital Enforcer”, Thierry Breton, have accused X of breaking rules surrounding misinformation and transparency.

Breton in particular accused X of breaking the DSA with its new “blue checkmark” system, claiming that the system inherited from Twitter was originally designed to prove that information posted to the platform was reliable.

“Back in the day, BlueChecks used to mean trustworthy sources of information,” he claimed.

“Now with X, our preliminary view is that they deceive users.”

Such claims have sparked backlash online, with netizens citing old Twitter documents showing that the former use of the blue checkmark was only to verify the identity of the user and not whether what they post is true.

X now runs the risk of being fined up to six per cent of its global turnover for the alleged breaches should it be unable to successfully overturn the decision.

Paris? Its streets covered with homeless illegal-migrant encampments?

Not for the Olympics, it isn’t.

According to the New York Times, President Macron has gone the full Potemkin Village ahead of the international television cameras filming Paris for the Olympics, which begin on July 24, sweeping the illegals out.

The French government has put thousands of homeless immigrants on buses and sent them out of Paris ahead of the Olympics. The immigrants said they were promised housing elsewhere, only to end up living on unfamiliar streets far from home or flagged for deportation.

…

Around the city over the past year, the police and courts have evicted roughly 5,000 people, most of them single men, according to Christophe Noël du Payrat, a senior government official in Paris. City officials encourage them to board buses to cities like Lyon or Marseille.

“We were expelled because of the Olympic Games,” said Mohamed Ibrahim, from Chad, who was evicted from an abandoned cement factory near the Olympic Village.

The story mirrors a similar story done by DW News of Germany featured on YouTube three weeks ago, although the Times did its own reporting and interviewed different illegal migrants:

What’s going on here is illegals-dumping from Paris to the other French cities, including some that don’t vote for Macron. The City of Orléans, made famous by Joan of Arc, is featured in both news items, and based on the voting map of the Loiret department, of which Orleans is the main city, appears to have gone left in the western precinct where Orléans itself is, while voting pro-Macron in the center of the department, pro-National Rally of Marine Le Pen conservative in the west, and for an unspecified fourth party in the south. Orléans has a nice cathedral and Joan of Arc museum, and it’s likely some of the newly arrived migrants are getting ideas about how to burn it.

It’s the same thing San Francisco’s mayor, London Breed did when China’s president, Xi Jinping, came calling in November last year.

Paris is pretending this homeless sweepout has nothing to do with the Olympics (the Times piece found evidence they were lying), but San Francisco didn’t even try to hide it. San Francisco was so crude about it even Gov. Gavin Newsom admitted four days later they swept out the homeless for Xi’s visit, and shortly after, the city went right back to drugs, homeless campouts, lawlessness and disorder the minute the Chinese president left.

For cities such as Orléans and Marseille, it’s a raw deal and doesn’t solve the root of the problem, which is why the country is tolerating illegal immigrants who can neither assimilate, nor contribute, nor be happy in any Western society. The Sudanese migrant quoted in the DW News video specifically stated that he expected the French government to support him for the rest of his life.

As the mayor of Marseille, told the Times:

City officials outside Paris told us that they had not been consulted about the program.

“There’s no money to find places for the homeless in Marseille, but there is money to bring homeless people from Paris?” said Audrey Garino, deputy mayor of Marseille.

So they’re playing pass-the-migrant in the name of giving Paris good public relations coverage for the Olympics, and spreading the homeless-migrant problem across the country. The migrants are homeless because they have so little to offer a developed society and can’t earn high wages unless the state pays it for them. But the state doesn’t deport them immediately, it lets them just camp out, litter, and commit crimes, making the city of Paris unliveable for the other residents who pay the taxes.

Only when fancy foreigners with big television cameras come do they get busy with a cleanup. Seems merely being a Parisian wanting a reasonable quality of life isn’t good enough for them to get to work. The Times says they are deporting some of the migrants now with these buses, but one wonders why they didn’t do that before the migrants could camp out and make the city hellish.

Funny how an international spotlight motivates these blue cities like Paris and San Francisco. They don’t do anything otherwise, blithely ignoring the well-being of their own voters.

Two-meter spears dipped in feces to cause infection, destruction of barriers with levers, slingshots, and thrown jars. Polish soldiers, Border Guard officers, police, and residents of the border area continue to face the dangerous practice of the illegal crossing of the Polish-Belarusian border by migrants from the Middle East and Africa.

The crisis at the border dates back to the second half of 2021 with around 3,500 illegal crossing attempts recorded in August, doubling in September, and soaring to 17,500 by October. It became evident that a coordinated assault on the Polish border was underway, orchestrated by Minsk and Moscow.

The operation, dubbed “Lock” by the Belarusian KGB, involves pulling migrants from the Middle East and Africa under false promises of easy entry into the European Union, only to compel them to forcibly breach the border, turning them into pawns of a hybrid operation that preceded Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Initially, there was no physical barrier, and service members secured the border area by deploying razor wire. Throughout 2021 and 2022, soldiers faced harsh conditions including winter weather and mud which complicated their patrols, both on foot and by vehicle.

The border has since been fortified with a barrier, yet the crisis persists. This year began with tragic news from the border: 40 soldiers have been injured so far during 2024, and Sergeant Mateusz Sitek died, succumbing to injuries caused by a makeshift spear.

In light of these ongoing challenges, Defence24.pl visited the border to report firsthand on the situation. Near a cemetery where Polish soldiers from 1920 are buried, and the majestic Bug River cuts through the border, local sentiments range from grief over the young soldier’s death to frustration at the continued defense of migrant actions.

Near one of the refugee centers located in Podlasie, I spoke with African migrants I encountered. Although my interlocutor is reticent, he admits to having crossed the border barrier. “I am from Sudan. I have been in Poland for 10 days,” he responds. He declines to go into detail about what happened on the Belarusian side. When asked if it was difficult, he confirmed it was.

Before illegally forcing across the border, migrants often quarrel among themselves. “There is conflict among them. Separate ethnic groups stick to their own, fighting among themselves – Africans, Afghans, Iraqis. They keep to themselves,” a resident of Podlasie shares in the conversation. In the border towns, one can encounter groups of immigrants. Among the residents, women in hijabs and whole groups of Africans stand out. “They are constantly crossing the border. They are in the forests. I have reported this myself,” one resident of Hajnówka tells me.

“They are trained by Belarusian and Russian services. They construct two-meter spears, which they urinate on or dip in feces to cause infections in those they wound. They use slingshots and throw jars filled with various substances. They use crowbars. They make throat-slitting gestures to Polish soldiers to signal that they will kill them,” one of the residents of Podlasie tells me.

Meanwhile, the introduction of a buffer zone has reportedly cut illegal border crossings by over half, according to Border Guard statistics.

As Poland continues to bolster border security, the recent deaths and detentions highlight the urgency of enhancing safety for those serving at the border. Training programs are being rolled out nationwide for border guards and soldiers to better prepare them for the challenges they face on the front lines.
