At least this is what German authorities continue to claim. But the authorities themselves apparently know that this is not true. The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) has now warned in an internal and confidential letter that left-wing extremists could also deliberately commit homicides in the future.

In its letter, which is classified as “classified – for official use only”, the BKA put it plainly: it is only a matter of time before left-wing extremist acts of violence lead to fatalities, it warned. The authority based its assessment on information distributed via the website knack.news from the left-wing extremist scene in Leipzig-Connewitz. This portal propagates the legitimization of all means against supposed “fascists” and contains detailed instructions on how to carry out attacks.

For example, knack.news described in detail how physical attacks should be planned. Individual chapters provided practical tips on preparing for violent acts. The recommended preparations included physical training, handling impact tools and avoiding self-harm.

The BKA believes this guide should give rise to concern. Because even if no specific crimes have been reported in connection with the instructions so far, they could serve as a basis for future violent acts. In general, the authority stated that the willingness to use violence against political opponents has increased significantly in the left-wing extremist scene. It warned that instructions such as those on knack.news could lead to further escalation.

The BKA’s letter is addressed to a large number of security and law enforcement authorities, including all state criminal investigation offices, the Federal Police Headquarters and the Federal Intelligence Service (BND).

Hungary’s not sitting on its hands

Unlike German authorities, the Hungarian police are taking consistent action against left-wing extremist criminals – even abroad. Due to thorough investigations by the Hungarian police, raids took place last year in the Antifa stronghold of Leipzig-Connewitz as well as in Jena.

They targeted four women aged between 20 and 22 and three men aged between 21 and 29. The operations were carried out by the Saxony State Criminal Police Office (LKA) under the direction of the Dresden Public Prosecutor’s Office.

The wanted men were accused of being connected to the attacks in Budapest in February 2023. Around ten to 15 left-wing extremists from Germany attacked participants at the “Day of Honor” event and even assaulted suspected sympathizers. At least eight people were injured, some seriously.

Four other Antifa thugs, including an important contact for the so-called Hammer Gang, are already in custody in Hungary.

The Hungarian judiciary also decided that the arrested persons would not be extradited to Germany. Transfer to another EU country could only take place – at the discretion of the Hungarian authorities – if an arrest warrant was also issued there. This is not the case in Germany as things stand. However, since the Hungarian courts are in charge of the proceedings anyway, Hungary can refuse extradition by referring to the criminal proceedings initiated in Budapest.

The Italian left-wing terrorist Ilaria Salis, who was in custody in Budapest, was another example. She had been in custody to answer for the charge of grievous bodily harm.

In February 2023, she and German Antifa thugs hunted down alleged right-wingers. Several people were injured, some of them critically. If convicted, Salis would have faced up to 24 years in prison.

But in April, the Alliance of Italian Greens and Left (AVS) nominated Salis as its top candidate in the North-West Italy constituency for the European elections. She was elected and as a MEP, she gained legal immunity and was released, finally returning to Italy. Thus, she only narrowly escaped justice.

The Arnsberg Regional Court has sentenced 33-year-old Mokhtar B. to many years in prison for multiple rape and assault. The Moroccan had severely abused and threatened his then pregnant partner in Soest – sometimes on public property in the town park. He tried to justify his actions with Sharia, Islamic law. The 4th Grand Criminal Chamber of the Arnsberg Regional Court, presided over by Judge Petja Pagel, handed down a prison sentence of eight years and seven months to the accused on Wednesday, September 18. The court considered it proven that the 33-year-old Moroccan had raped and abused his former girlfriend on several occasions. These included beatings, threats with a switchblade knife, coercion and theft. The court considered the rapes and sexual assaults committed by the accused against his ex-girlfriend to be particularly serious, although the accused was also found to be partially guilty because the Moroccan man was under the influence of drugs during some of the eight offences. Due to this drug use, the court is of the opinion that the Moroccan man suffered from the delusion that his girlfriend was cheating on him.

This had been the reason for the threats of beatings and rape. The presiding judge repeatedly described their relationship as ‘toxic’. What was particularly shocking, however, was the defendant’s complete lack of awareness of wrongdoing.

Over the course of the trial, which lasted several weeks, Mokhtar B. explained that his honour had been wounded, which is why he felt justified in beating and threatening his partner. In doing so, he invoked the rules of Sharia, Islamic law. This term covers all laws and norms that are derived from the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet. The Sunnah is a large collection of traditions about the behaviour and sayings of Prophet Mohammed.
During the sentencing, however, Mokhtar B. showed hardly any emotion. In between, the defendant yawned several times and appeared obviously tired. The man accepted the judgement without any visible reaction.

The public prosecutor’s office had demanded ten years in prison. The court also rejected the prosecution’s demand for preventive detention to follow the prison sentence. Prosecutor Nicole Kuni was nevertheless satisfied with the judgement.

However, the judgement is not yet legally binding. The accused’s defence lawyer announced that he would consider an appeal in order to examine the verdict for possible legal errors. He had argued in favour of a prison sentence of four and a half years.

Chicago has a $9.9 billion budget. Its teachers’ unions, who control the city and have one of their own in the mayor’s office, get everything from free abortions to weight loss surgeries, to $145,000 salaries even though their students know absolutely nothing.

In math, 19% of Chicago third through eighth graders were proficient on the IAR’s 2024 test, a 2 percentage point increase from the previous school year. During the spring of 2023, 17% of elementary school students were proficient in math, but in the spring of 2019, 24% of students were proficient.

If you can’t do math, you’re more likely to be okay with a $10 billion budget for results like this. But how does an educational system run when no one learns anything?

We’re getting a peek courtesy of the Biden-Harris open borders program which flooded Chicago with migrant invaders.

The teachers we spoke with work in CPS elementary schools and say they spoke no Spanish, while their migrant students spoke no English, making communication virtually impossible. They also added that because their schools were located in predominantly Black neighborhoods, they offered no English as a Second Language (ESL) support. Despite this, they say they were instructed by school administrators to give their migrant students a 70 percent in every subject and pass them on to the next grade.

Teachers say this was the case even if their migrant students displayed severe academic deficiencies.

Education, schmeducation. What matters is making the system look good to justify those $145,000 salaries and the free Ozempic.

A horrifying incident in Rotterdam has left one person dead and two others injured. Police are investigating the stabbings, which occurred earlier today, as a potential act of terrorism.

An eyewitness reported seeing a man wielding two knives and attacking people at random while yelling “Allahu Akbar.” Authorities have not yet released details about the suspect or any potential motives.

The ACLU has successfully fought to have a transgender baby killer be given taxpayer-funded “gender affirming” surgeries. Yesterday, the United States District Court of Indiana ruled that Autumn Cordellioné, born Jonathan C. Richardson, had been subjected to “cruel and unusual punishment” by being denied the various plastic surgeries he had demanded.

Richardson is currently serving a 55-year sentence for the murder of his 11-month-old stepdaughter. As previously reported by Reduxx, Richardson had been left to care for the child while her mother was at work. That night, he was visited by friends who observed he was “acting strangely” and refused to invite them in the house as he normally would.

Despite claiming the little girl was sleeping, Richardson had loud music playing in the home, and his guests noted that he appeared to have a fresh, bleeding tattoo of the child’s name carved into his arm. Shortly after his friends left, Richardson went to a neighbor’s home and asked them to call 911, claiming the child was unresponsive. The baby would later die at the hospital, with the cause of death determined to be asphyxiation by manual strangulation.

Richardson was booked awaiting a court hearing, and would later tell a prison official “all I know is I killed the little fucking bitch.” The following year, he was found guilty and sentenced to 55 years in prison.

The ACLU has launched a legal complaint against the Indiana Department of Corrections on behalf of a transgender inmate they say was denied "gender affirming" surgeries.

In 2020, while incarcerated at the The Correctional Industrial Facility (CIF) in Madison, Richardson began identifying as transgender and taking estradiol, a synthetic estrogen, and anti-androgen spironolactone. Two years later, Richardson lodged a sexual harassment complaint claiming that he had been raped by his cellmate in 2005, and that he stabbed the inmate in retaliation.

Despite the brutal nature of his crime, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in Indiana took up his case and launched a human rights lawsuit against the Indiana Department of Corrections (IDOC).

In the suit, which was filed in August of 2023, ACLU lawyers refer to Richardson as an “adult transgender female prisoner confined in a male institution,” and complains that “the total ban on gender-affirming surgery violates [his] right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment.”

The suit was intended to challenge a recently-adopted policy stipulating that the IDOC cannot provide transgender surgeries to inmates. House Bill 1569, which took effect in July of 2023, bans the spending of state or federal dollars on sexual reassignment surgery for inmates. The bill, the ACLU argues, “mandates deliberate indifference to a serious medical need and therefore violates the Eighth Amendment.”

Among a list of demands prepared by Richardson and presented as evidence in court was a document titled “Surgeries to Reach My Ideal Self.” The first item on the list, the court heard, was a “vagina,” followed by: breast implants, a brow lift, a brow reduction, a tummy tuck, gluteal implants (BBL), a uterus transplant, hair removal, and wigs.

However, during court proceedings Richardson stated that he had amended his demands to two surgeries, an orchiectomy and a penile inversion.

In addition to identifying as transgender, Richardson identifies as “Muslim,” and is currently engaged in a separate lawsuit against his prison’s chaplain for being denied a hijab.

During his deposition, Richardson told the legal counsel for the IDOC, Alex Carlisle, that in 2018, he had been informed about gender identity by another male inmate at CIF who went by the name of “Pearl.” According to Richardson, Pearl had brought in pamphlets from California state prisons that explained the concept of “gender identity” and introduced to him, for the first time, the idea of taking feminizing hormones.

“I always knew I was a girl, didn’t know that term applied. Because until I talked to Pearl I didn’t even really know transgender was the name for it. I was hearing at the time that it was transsexualism and that didn’t seem to fit me because it was apparently people that like to wear girl clothes to have sex,” Richardson said in his deposition.

However, Richardson also stated that while briefly married to the mother of the infant he murdered, he had been working in an “adult bookstore” that sold pornographic videos. While employed as a janitor, Richardson would have sex with various male customers while pretending to be a “girl.”

Richardson further testified that he had taken the feminine name “Autumn” after his high school girlfriend, and said that he used to steal his sister’s clothing and his mother’s makeup as a youth. “When I put on the clothes, I could for a second realize the girl inside,” he said.

“I felt I was only a woman when a man used me,” Richardson remarked. “It was the only acceptable time to be a woman so it brought me a certain amount of satisfaction that I was pleasuring a man like a woman would and I got to express who I was.”

But the mother of the baby girl Richardson strangled to death opposed his legal bid to obtain surgery. Linda Thomas submitted a brief statement expressing her concern that his identity may be concealed from her when he is released from prison.

“On the day he murdered my child, I personally observed Plaintiff with a fresh bleeding tattoo of my child’s name on his arm while I was at the hospital that evening,” Thomas said. “I live in fear for myself and my children of the day [Richardson] is released from prison, which largely increases at the thought that [his] identity may be concealed upon release.”

ACLU attorneys under the leadership of Kenneth Falk attempted to have Thomas’ testimony dismissed as court evidence on the basis that “Ms. Cordellioné objected to the relevance of this declaration.”

During court proceedings, Kate Meltzer, a legal representative for the Office of the Attorney General, emphasized an issue of “timeliness” related to Richardson’s attempts to secure an early release.

On January 4th, Richardson had lodged a pro se request seeking a reduction of his sentence. According to Meltzer, Richardson’s request claimed that the “circumstances that resulted in the crime are no longer present,” as the motivation for the murder of the young girl was “tied to [his] transgender identity and [his] gender dysphoria.”

The court also heard testimony from Stephen B. Levine, a psychiatrist who specializes in sexual dysfunction and transsexualism, who founded the Case Western Reserve Gender Identity Clinic in Cleveland during the 1970’s. Levine was Chair of the fifth edition of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s (WPATH) Standards of Care in 1998. He also served on the American Psychiatric Association DSM-IV Subcommittee on Gender Identity Disorders.

In March of this year, while the case was ongoing, Levine emailed the Attorney General’s counsel Alexander Carlisle pleading with him to empathize with Richardson. According to Dr. Levine, Richardson’s condition “is a product of the need to find coherence, consistency, and stability”. The “countless traumas” experienced by Richardson, the gender clinician said, “began with her birth (actually with her pregnancy)”, indicating his belief that a transgender identity develops in utero.

As noted in court documents, in recent years Dr. Levine derived between 40% to 50% of his income from serving as an expert witness in litigation regarding the treatment of patients with “gender dysphoria”.

The ruling issued by Judge Richard Young on September 17 has far-reaching implications and sets a precedent for further surgeries and hormones to be doled out at taxpayers’ expense. The verdict declares that the statute added to Indiana’s legal code in 2023 barring the DOC from facilitating “medically necessary gender-affirming” surgeries for inmates qualifies as “sex discrimination.”

In a statement on Richardson’s legal win, ACLU of Indiana Legal Director Kenneth Falk said: “Today marks a significant victory for transgender individuals in Indiana’s prisons. Denying evidence-based medical care to incarcerated people simply because they are transgender is unconstitutional. We are pleased that the Court agreed.”

The ACLU has pursued multiple lawsuits in several states against the US prison authorities on behalf of men convicted of horrific crimes. As revealed by Reduxx, a 2019 ACLU lawsuit against the New Jersey Department of Corrections which required the state to allow violent male inmates to self-identify into the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women was lodged on behalf of a self-admitted diaper fetishist and convicted terrorist.

Last year, the ACLU of Florida criticized officials for not providing “gender-affirming care” to a convicted rapist and murderer prior to his execution. Duane Owen had been handed a death sentence after brutally murdering a 38-year-old mother and a 14-year-old girl in 1984. Owen claimed that he sexually assaulted women as part of a ritual to harvest their hormones, and that he was a transsexual who carried out the sexual violence to “turn himself into a female.”

Britain’s top diplomat has claimed that climate change represents a greater threat than terrorism or Russia to the national security of the United Kingdom.

In his first major address since the left-wing Labour Party won the general election in July, Foreign Secretary David Lammy said Tuesday that the supposed climate crisis will be “central” to his remit, despite holders of his office traditionally focussing on international relations and foreign affairs.

“While I am foreign secretary, action on the climate and nature crisis will be central to all the Foreign Office does. This is critical given the scale of the threat, but also the scale of the opportunity,” he said according to the BBC.

“The threat may not feel as urgent as a terrorist or an imperialist autocrat. But it is more fundamental. It is systemic, it’s pervasive and accelerating towards us at pace,” Lammy claimed.

Although the government has made cuts domestically, most controversially for winter fuel subsidy payments to pensioners, Lammy said that Labour will look to help foreign countries in developing so-called renewable energy sources and to help in recovery from weather-related disasters in areas like the Caribbean.

The top UK diplomat also said that he will seek to forge a global clean power alliance, in which Britain could share expertise on the transition away from fossil fuels with other countries.

“While I am foreign secretary, action on the climate and nature crisis will be central to all the Foreign Office does. This is critical given the scale of the threat, but also the scale of the opportunity.”

Despite the British public continuing to suffer under historically high energy prices, the new Labour government has decided to double down on the green agenda pushed by the Tory party, seeking to radically transform the country’s energy supply to meet the globalist goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by the end of the decade.

Labour has claimed that a “zero carbon electricity system by 2030” will lower bills for average Britons, citing the surge in gas prices following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. However, both the so-called Conservatives and Labour have refused to allow fracking for British natural gas, rejecting the energy source that has done so much for the United States power market.

The left-wing government is also set to further diminish the domestic fossil fuel industry by levying heavy taxes on energy firms, notably those in the North Sea, one of the top gas and oil producing regions under British control.

According to analysis from the energy consulting firm Wood Mackenzie this week, Labour’s tax raids, which will force companies to pay 78 per cent tax from November following planned hikes to the “energy profits levy” windfall tax. This, Wood Mackenzie said, would cause “irreversible damage” to the industry and could result in production in the North Sea being cut in half by 2030.

Yet to mitigate this and reach the goal of net zero in the next six years, the publicly-funded Committee on Climate Change found earlier this year that offshore wind energy output would need to increase threefold over current production, onshore wind would have to double, and solar installations would need to increase by five times. Additionally, the use of heat pumps to warm homes would need to increase by 10 times, up from just one per cent of households at present.

While Labour has touted the benefits of the green agenda in lessening dependence on foreign powers for energy, such as Russia, in reality, it would merely represent trading one master for another, with Communist China controlling 80 per cent of the solar manufacturing market globally, including finished solar panels and the raw materials used to produce them.

China’s state subsidy driven dominance of the electric vehicle market also represents a threat to British car manufacturing and national security, a report this month from the China Strategic Risks Institute found, claiming that modules within the cars could be used to send sensitive data back to the totalitarian government in Beijing or even allow the Chinese to remotely operate cars in the UK.

A local offshoot of the Free Speech Union was forcibly excluded from a public house when a speaker raised objections to the teaching of gender ideology in schools.

The evening meeting at the Southern Belle pub in Brighton and Hove was scheduled for Tuesday, September 17th, after Free Speech Brighton booked a room and brought in sound equipment for the speakers to use. When the first, a retired teacher in her 50s, argued that parents should question the teaching materials, the landlord called in private security staff to remove her microphone and begin ejecting the 50 or so attendees from the room.

Group chair Laura King described on Facebook “a rush of [five] security guards coming into the room and demanding that we left.” 

Remarkably, when a smaller group of around 10 people tried to reconvene informally at a different pub, employees of the same security firm, which some sources have named as Pagoda and others as Paragon, intervened to prevent this from happening.

In a public post on Facebook, attendee Julie wrote:

Tonight we went to a Free Speech Union meeting at the Southern Belle pub in Hove, a private meeting in a hired room. We were quiet and well-behaved. (Even me!) Less than an hour in, a private security firm …  made us leave because we talked about gender reality. They then followed us to our next meeting place in a pub and made us break up the regrouping of maybe ten people. Absolutely amazed at the reality of thought-policing in this country right now.

Free Speech Union director Toby Young responded:

Legally, the landlord doesn’t have a leg to stand on. He cannot evict customers just because he disapproves of their perfectly lawful beliefs, particularly if those beliefs are protected by the Equality Act.

The issue of ‘gender ideology’ in schools—which can include the idea of a child’s ‘sexed soul’ being ‘born in the wrong body’—is increasingly controversial, not least on child safeguarding/welfare grounds.

An illegal Pakistani migrant was caught watching porn at his own trial in France, where he was convicted of charges of sexual assault. During the trial, his lawyer also deployed a legal tactic used more and more frequently to reduce sentences, claiming that the homeless migrant acted due to his “patriarchal culture.”

Mr. M, whose full name has not been released, was brought before judges of the Créteil judicial court for sexually assaulting a woman in Choisy Park and assaulting her husband. He had no record before the incident, but due to his illegal status, he is considered a high flight risk.

In court, the victim, Mrs. G, said that she was spending some time with family in Choisy Park and then decided to go home. After a few steps, she felt like she was being followed. The suspect, Mr. M, touched her genitals and grabbed her buttocks. When she turned and punched him in the shoulder, Mr. M told her, “I want you.” Mrs. G then called for her husband, who was still inside the park with her family. When he ran up to help his wife, the Pakistani migrant punched him.

“He continued to come towards my husband, who pushed him away with his fists,” said Mrs. M.

The couple called the police, and they arrived on scene to arrest the suspect, who was highly intoxicated.

She was examined by a doctor from the hospital’s forensic unit, who issued her six days of leave from work due to the psychological consequences of the event. She stated that she had been sexually assaulted a few years earlier and that the latest sexual assault “rekindled suffering.”

Pakistani migrant watched porn during trial

In court, Mr. M claimed that he told the woman she “dressed very skimpily” and that she was “very beautiful,” but denied starting the encounter by grabbing her genitals. Court reporters said that the man appeared to be “searching his memory,” and then he stated: “Maybe I touched her. I was drunk.”

He also accused the husband of punching first. At this point, the trial took an absurd turn, according to French newspaper Actu-Juridique.

The judge asked him what he was doing on his phone, at which point the man said, “I was watching a song on Youtube.”

Court officers then searched his phone and found that he was on a video chat application that featured photos of naked women. The judge confronted him about it, asking:”Is that what you were looking at when you were sitting on the bench?”

The man denied that he had been watching porn. After the phone was taken away, the trial resumed.

The defense attorney then asked, “Do you admit to having put a hand on this lady’s buttocks?” The defendant then responded, “Yes.” He said he would then like to apologize to both of them.

The 32-year-old Pakistani man stood before the judges and blamed his “alcohol addiction.” He is also a habitual user of cannabis.

During the sentencing part of the trial, the Pakistani man’s lawyer said: “There is still a long way to go in educating men, especially when they come from Pakistan. This one is the product of a patriarchal system, of a culture where forced marriage is still practiced.” The lawyer continued to explain the cultural gap between Pakistan and France while arguing for a reduced sentence. He also spoke of the man’s “frustrated sex life,” saying he only had intercourse “months ago.”

The lawyer said his client learned his lesson, which is that “you have to approach the person first before touching them.”

To help Mr. M better “control his sexual urges” and treat his alcohol addiction, the lawyer is also requesting compulsory psychological treatment.

The judge found Mr. M guilty of three offenses — sexual assault, violence, and use of cannabis — and sentenced him to eight months in prison, along with a 10-year ban on entering French territory. He must pay Mrs. G and Mr. G €2,000 and €200, respectively.

Another school girls’ sports team opted to forfeit a game rather than put its members at risk facing an opposing team with a “transgender” member who is actually a boy, this time in Massachusetts.

The College Fix reported that the girls’ field hockey team at Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School is forgoing a planned match against Somerset-Berkely Regional High School, citing the latter team having a biologically male player.

Dighton-Rehoboth superintendent Bill Runey defended the choice to “place a higher value on safety than on victory,” even at the potential cost of “chances for a league championship and possibly playoff eligibility,” but expressed hope for their example making “other schools consider following suit to achieve safety and promote fair competition for female athletes.”

The danger is no hypothetical for this particular community; last year, a female Dighton-Rehoboth field hockey player was “severely injured” by a gender-confused boy on the opposing Swampscott High School team, but Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) assistant director Sherry Bryant insisted at the time the association’s “hands were tied because of lawsuits.”

“I told her, ‘You’re telling me, Title IX allows players of the opposite sex on what are typically single-sex teams, but what are the implications of a girl who does not get as much playing time or gets cut because someone who is bigger and stronger, like most males are, takes her playing time or gets her cut?’” Runey recalled.

“I would sincerely hope the MIAA would respect our position not to play in a particular game and not compound the problem with any other consequence,” he added.

Mandatory inclusion of gender-confused individuals in opposite-sex sports is promoted as a matter of “inclusivity,” but critics note that indulging “transgender” athletes undermines the original rational basis for having sex-specific athletics in the first place, thereby depriving female athletes of recognition and professional or academic opportunities as well as undermining female players’ basic safety and privacy rights by forcing them to share showers and changing areas with members of the opposite sex.

There have been numerous high-profile examples in recent years of men winning women’s competitions, and research affirms that physiology gives males distinct athletic advantages that cannot be fully negated by hormone suppression.

In a 2019 paper published by the Journal of Medical Ethics, New Zealand researchers found that “healthy young men (do) not lose significant muscle mass (or power) when their circulating testosterone levels were reduced to (below International Olympic Committee guidelines) for 20 weeks,” and “indirect effects of testosterone” on factors such as bone structure, lung volume, and heart size “will not be altered by hormone therapy;” therefore, “the advantage to transwomen (biological men) afforded by the (International Olympic Committee) guidelines is an intolerable unfairness.”

Both aspects of the controversy have been highlighted by former University of Pennsylvania swimmer William “Lia” Thomas, who reportedly retains male genitalia and is still attracted to women yet “identifies” as female and lesbian. Thomas quickly started dominating women’s swimming after switching from the men’s team and caused his female teammates unrest due to sharing lockers with them. Yet the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) reportedly pressured swimmers and their parents against speaking out.

Last year, the Vermont Principals’ Association banned Mid-Vermont Christian School from all athletic events over a similar decision to protect members of its girls’ basketball team.
