On today’s #NCFWhittle, Times journalist Juliet Samuel returns to discuss the greatest epidemic of modern times: “phone dope”. She explains why smart phones are more addictive than alcohol and tobacco and why society is descending into cognitive decline through its over reliance on these dopamine-based gadgets.

Vatican employee says ‘gay lobby’ wields enormous influence over Pope Francis
A frustrated Vatican employee has alleged that Pope Francis is giving preference to the “gay lobby” when it comes to decision making.
In an anonymous interview with Italian media outlet Panorama, a member of the Vatican’s labor union complained that not only are fellow employees dissatisfied with Francis’s alleged financial management, but that he gives strong preference to those who are in favor of the homosexual agenda.
“You can’t move up unless you’re a friend of one of the two lobbies that count: either the ‘gay lobby,’ which is extensive and very powerful, or the ‘Santa Marta Club’ around the Pope,” the person, who went by the initials “G.F.” told the outlet.
The person further remarked that if “you want to join, you can’t read newspapers of the center-right and you have to speak Spanish.” You “have to be green, pro-migrant and, above all, pro-Palestinian. For them, Nicolas Maduro is a saint, and Donald Trump is a devil.”
The influence of the homosexual lobby in the Church is not mere speculation. LifeSite has presented extensive documentation of the group’s efforts for years. Its power over Francis is indicated by, among other things, his papal appointments, treatment of homosexual groups, and other signs of obvious favoritism.
Just this month Francis named 21 new Cardinals, among them pro-LGBT Dominican priest Father Timothy Radcliffe. Francis has also elevated the public profile of pro-LGBT Jesuit priest James Martin by repeatedly praising his work and his heretical group Outreach. What’s more, Francis recently greeted a US-based transgender hermit at the Vatican and has often welcomed other groups of gender-confused persons to the Vatican .
Additionally, Francis is believed to have personally intervened to rehabilitate Fr. Marko Rupnik, who was removed from the Jesuit order and excommunicated after having been credibly accused of sexually and spiritually abusing numerous people, including nuns and male victims. Francis also appointed Fr. Robert Pasolini, who supports a pro-homosexual reading of the Bible, as the preacher of the Papal Household. Perhaps worst of all, Francis approved the heretical Fiducia Supplicans declaration, which permits priests to give blessings to homosexual couples.
“G.F.” also told Panorama that Vatican employees may publicly express more frustration with their compensation packages, stating that “we’ve had the impression that Pope Francis governs Vatican finances with suspicion and partiality.”
The Association of Lay Vatican Employees responded in a statement to the comments by noting that while “many in the Vatican are concerned about possible cuts to salaries and pensions” the Panorama interview is not helpful because it “does nothing other than to create confusion and to throw employees into panic.”
Former Soccer Star Kavelashvili Elected New President of Georgia, as Ruling Conservatives Consolidate Their Control – Globalist Outgoing President Refuses to Hand Over Power
In the Eastern European country of Georgia, the presidential election took place against the background of considerable protests by the liberal/Globalist opposition and widespread pressure by both the EU and the Joe Biden regime in the US.
The election took place in Parliament, a college of electors composed of MPs and representatives of local government chose the new president, consolidating the power of the ruling ‘Georgian Dream’ party.
The electors chose Mikheil Kavelashvili, considered a hardline critic of the West, to replace a ‘pro-Western’ Globalist born in France incumbent.
Of 225 electors present, 224 voted for Kavelashvili, who was the only candidate nominated.
Reuters reported:
“The ruling Georgian Dream party’s move to freeze the EU accession process until 2028, abruptly halting a long-standing national goal that is written into the country’s constitution, has provoked widespread anger in Georgia, where opinion polls show that seeking EU membership is overwhelmingly popular.
Kavelashvili, a former professional soccer player, has strongly anti-Western, often conspiratorial views. In public speeches this year, he has repeatedly alleged that Western intelligence agencies are seeking to drive Georgia into war with Russia, which ruled Georgia for 200 years until 1991.”
Protesters gathered in light snowfall and freezing temperatures outside parliament.
All Western-controlled opposition parties boycotted parliament since the October election in which Georgian Dream won almost 54% of the vote.
“Kavelashvili was nominated for the mostly ceremonial presidency last month by Bidzina Ivanishvili, a billionaire ex-prime minister who is widely seen as the country’s paramount leader and has moved to deepen ties with neighboring Russia, which polls show many Georgians dislike.”
Besides his soccer stardom, Kavelashvili also made his name as a leader of People’s Power, an anti-Western splinter group of the ruling ‘Georgian Dream’ party.
He co-authored the ‘foreign agents’ law targeting the Globalist NGOs.
“Outgoing President Salome Zourabichvili, a pro-EU critic of the ruling Georgian Dream party, has positioned herself as a leader of the protest movement and has said she will remain president after her term ends. She considers parliament illegitimate as a result of alleged fraud in the October election.
In a post on X shortly before the vote, Zourabichvili said her successor’s election represented ‘a mockery of democracy’.”

Trans-Identified Male Sentenced To Life For Sexually Abusing His 7-Year-Old Stepdaughter Demands Rehearing On Conviction
A U.S. Circuit Court has upheld the conviction of a trans-identified male found guilty of repeatedly sexually abusing his 7-year-old stepdaughter. Robert William Perry II, who changed his pronouns to “she/her” during the trial, is planning to demand another rehearing in protest of his conviction.
As previously reported by Reduxx, Perry was sentenced to life in federal prison following a conviction for the aggravated sexual abuse of a minor. The victim was Perry’s 7-year-old stepdaughter, but she referred to him as “dad” and “daddy” and viewed him as a biological parent due to their close relationship.
According to court transcripts, Perry would coerce the girl into performing sex acts in exchange for candy, toys, and the opportunity to play video games in what Perry termed as a “man cave,” a closet where he regularly played video games and watched pornography. The abuses took place from 2017 to 2018 on the Muscogee Nation reserve in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The sexual abuse first came to light after the victim divulged some of her ordeal to a close friend at school. The conversation was overheard by another student who immediately went to a teacher and reported what she had heard. The teacher informed the school’s principal who did not take any action and instead dismissed the child’s revelations as “gossip.”
The principal who refused to act, Jene’ Carpenter, is still listed as being employed at Patrick Henry Elementary School. Reduxx reached out to Tulsa Public Schools for comment on Carpenter’s apparent safeguarding failure, but did not receive a response. This article may be updated in the event a response is received.
Despite the abuse revelations being dismissed by Carpenter, the teacher was persistent in her support for the girl, and spoke to her the next school day in private. During the conversation, the girl was hesitant to speak about what had happened because Perry had told her to “keep secrets,” but she would go on to draw pictures of what had happened to her.
The child began to write down descriptions of her abuse, including in one drawing where she wrote “my dad lets me suck on his privates every night.” In another, she repeated the claims she had said to her school friend.
Her teacher then gave the drawings to the school’s counselor, who immediately contacted the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. A Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner further interviewed the child and began to liaise with police.
Perry was initially arrested and charged in 2018 and he was convicted in an Oklahoma state court in 2020, but the conviction was later dismissed because it was determined that the state lacked the jurisdiction to prosecute the case. In the United States, only the federal government or tribal councils have jurisdiction to prosecute cases that occur in Indian Country that involve Native American defendants. Because Perry is Indigenous and the crime had been committed on Muscogee land, the case was turned over to the federal government.
During the repeat trial, Perry admitted to having a number of untreated psychiatric conditions, and disclosed that he was struggling with an “addiction to pornography,” including of the “transsexual” genre. It was during his federal hearings that Perry announced that his pronouns were “she/her” and that he identified as a “female.”
After a lengthy trial during which the young girl gave extensive testimony on the sexual abuse she endured, Perry was sentenced to life in federal prison for his crimes in February of 2023.
A subsequent Department of Justice press release on his sentence was edited to include a note on his revised pronouns.
Earlier this year, Perry filed an appeal agains his conviction, with his defense team arguing that the prosecution had inappropriately led the jury to favor the testimony of the child victim.
“The government’s Answer Brief argues there was overwhelming evidence to convict. There was not. Instead, the case rose or fell based on [the victim’s] credibility versus Perry’s credibility. If the jury believed [the child], it could convict. If it believed Perry, it could not,” Perry’s attorney wrote.
In the appeal, Perry’s lawyer argues that the prosecution made improper statements that lended too much credibility to the child victim.
“The government used the phrase ‘kids don’t make this up’ no less than three times in its initial argument,” the appeal states, continuing: “… any vouching for the credibility of [the victim] or any other improper argument to unfairly bolster her credibility or diminish Perry’s would have an outsized impact on the jury here.”
On December 5, the United States Court of Appeals Tenth Circuit rejected the defense’s arguments, affirming the conviction.
In his summary, Judge Joel Carson III wrote that none of the prosecution’s comments were erroneous or made the trial “fundamentally unfair.”
In response, Perry’s defense has filed an intention to request a petition for a rehearing, challenging the appellate court’s decision. In his submission, defense attorney Blain Myhre used “she/her” pronouns throughout to refer to Perry, a deviation from previous records where it was noted that Perry had changed his pronouns but that masculine pronouns would be used to avoid confusion. Myhre also included a footnote reminding the court that Perry identifies as a female.
Perry’s attorney has requested until January 16 to file a petition for a rehearing.
Perry is currently incarcerated under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Prisons at USP Terre Haute, a men’s prison, but under current Bureau of Prisons guidelines, he is able to request housing on the basis of his self-declared gender identity, if he has not done so already. In the original sentencing order, the judge requested Perry be accommodated in a facility where he can access “gender affirming” care.
On January 13 of 2022, the Bureau of Prisons revised its Transgender Offender Manual, which included guidelines previously scrubbed by the Trump administration with respect to gender self-identification for federal inmates. Under Trump, inmates were housed based on biological sex as a sole consideration, but the Biden administration re-invoked Obama-era guidelines requiring gender identity be considered when making housing assignments.
There are currently 1,500 federal inmates who identify as transgender. According to Keep Prisons Single Sex USA, almost 50% of trans-identified male federal inmates are in custody for sex offences. This is compared to just 11% of the non-trans male federal inmate population.

UK: Court rules Christian grandmother must have life support removed despite family’s protest
A Christian grandmother in a coma is scheduled to have life-sustaining measures withdrawn despite her family’s insistence that she is not terminally ill.
In November, the U.K. Court of Appeal ruled that it is in the woman’s purported “best interests” to die by removing an artificial airway and withholding nutrition. The woman’s family has protested the ruling, but the court has not granted them another opportunity to appeal.
Family members told the court that the 54-year-old woman reacted to their voices with eye movements and squeezed their hands when they asked her to do so.
Despite this, the doctors at the King’s College Hospital in London claimed that there is allegedly no benefit of keeping the woman alive “artificially.”
Christian Concern, a legal advocacy group representing the woman referred to as “XY,” strongly insinuated that XY was black, describing her daughter as “part of a London-based family with Jamaican roots.” XY worked in a “physically demanding role” for the National Health Service (NHS) and suffered a heart attack on May 6, 2024, which resulted in serious brain damage.
According to the Daily Mail, the daughter told the court her mother “would choose life over death because she loved life.” She said her mother would want to leave the moment she dies in God’s hands.
According to Christian Concern, the family said that the woman was not terminally ill and could survive for years with proper treatment and care.
Christian Concern, which represents the family in the trial, also noted that the Court of Protection imposed a gag order (“transparency order”) on them, preventing them from speaking openly about the case, asking for donations, or seeking an alternative hospital.
“This is utterly unfair and so cruel. We are all horrified at what is happening, and now we are in a desperate race against time to save her,” XY’s adult daughter told the Daily Mail.
Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre (Christian Concern’s legal organization), said: “This case shows how, in the assisted suicide debate, we cannot leave it with the judges to protect life even if it is clear from the family’s evidence that the patient would want life to continue.”
Since the family has been denied another appeal, they have applied for urgent interventions from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to prevent the withdrawal of life-supporting measures.
“This story provides the clear direction of travel for how vulnerable patients and families will be under any ‘assisted dying’ legislation,” Williams warned. “We stand with the family as they take their case to Europe and seek to have reporting restrictions lifted.”
“My mother is at the centre of a large family and a big part of her community and a pillar of her local church with lots of friends,” XY’s daughter stated in court. “She is a popular person who cares deeply about other people. Everyone who knows her says that she would have wanted to take every chance to continue to live and would not want to be put to death.”
“Our wishes as a family and my mother’s right to life has been trampled on by the hospital and the courts.”
“Like many families before us, the whole system has come against us and is forcing death on us rather than helping us pursue options for life,” she continued.
“Instead of supporting the family at this difficult time, we have been taken to Courts to condemn my mother to death. We have found this system to be unbelievably cruel and unfair, with NHS and the courts working hand in glove to enforce death on the innocent.”
Note: The woman’s life-sustaining measures were scheduled to be removed on Thursday, December 12. Christian Concern’s media manager told LifeSiteNews that her lawyers “have made a last-ditch application for a ‘stay of execution’ to prevent life-support being withdrawn.” We will update the report as soon as there is more information available. LifeSiteNews asks its readers to pray for the woman and her family.
Wagner College Allows Male To Transfer To Female Fencing Team, Win Gold At Women’s Junior Olympic Qualifier
A trans-identified male college athlete has been quietly moved onto the women’s fencing team at Wagner College, and may now be collecting a women’s scholarship. Redmond Sullivan, who had previously competed on both the male and female teams simultaneously, seized gold in the women’s category at the Connecticut Division Junior Olympic Qualifier last week.
Sullivan first began competing in female sports while attending Daniel Hand High School in Connecticut, where he won a state championship in girls track and field for shot put during a Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) competition.
According to the results of the CIAC meet, Daniel Hand High School would have placed fourth had it not been for Sullivan’s dominating performance in the girls category, during which he threw the shot put nearly four feet farther than his second-place female competitor. Sullivan was the only student athlete to make it in the CIAC championship Top 10 during their first year of competition.
That same year, while competing in girls shot put and discus, he earned first, second, or third place in 14 separate competitions. Bizarrely, Sullivan was allowed to compete in girls track and field while he was also competing in boys fencing at the same school.
After graduation, Sullivan began attending Wagner College in Staten Island, New York. He joined the men’s fencing team, and participated in the New England Division USFA Pomme De Terre on June 17, 2023, during which he placed 29th out of 58 male competitors. As late as October of 2023, Sullivan was still classified as a fencer on the men’s team. But just one month later, he began competing in women’s fencing.
His transfer to the women’s team was unannounced by Wagner, and Sullivan enjoyed a significant improvement in his performance after beginning to compete against females.
At the Northeast Fencing Conference Varsity Meet in November, Sullivan won 3-0 in all of his matchups. Then, at the December 1 Seahawks Invitational, a fencing competition for Wagner College, Sullivan won two out of three fencing sets in the female category.
On Sunday, Sullivan won gold at the Connecticut Division Junior Olympic Qualifier in the Junior Women’s Foil.
Wagner College has not responded to a request for comment. On their website, the school claims to be “committed to stopping sex discrimination” in compliance with U.S. Title IX, a 1972 law that is supposed to guarantee equal opportunities for female students, including athletes.
In 2021, the Biden administration extended Title IX protections to transgender individuals, preventing the ability for colleges to keep males out of female sports. Several Republican states have sued over the federal changes to Title IX, arguing that it is unsafe and unfair for female athletes. President Elect Donald Trump has claimed he will, once in office, make changes to “keep men out of women’s sports.”
Wagner College also touts its “inclusive and supportive environments for LGBTQIA+ students.” They have published a list of “gender inclusive bathrooms” across the campus, and also instruct students to “honor the personal pronouns [of others] even when the person is not present” and to “not disclose a person’s gender identity unless you have obtained their consent.”
Marshi Smith, co-founder of the Independent Council on Women’s Sport (ICONS), condemned Wagner College for allowing Sullivan to compete against females, and added that National Collegiate Athletics Association policies have emboldened colleges to protect trans-identified male athletes.
“The NCAA is repeatedly rewarding the replacement of women in order to champion men in women’s sports. This ongoing pattern of discrimination is why we are supporting a female athlete’s lawsuit against the organization. Legal action is necessary to hold the NCAA accountable for its repeated failures to uphold fairness and equality in women’s sports, with fencing being a particularly troubling example,” she says.
In March, ICONS filed a lawsuit against the NCAA on behalf of over one dozen female athletes for letting transgender athletes compete in women’s sports and use female locker rooms.
At the center of the class-action suit is Lia Thomas, a trans-identified male who dominated the 2022 NCAA Swimming Championships while a student at the University of Pennsylvania. Thomas fared poorly while participating in male sport, but began racking up medals after transferring to the women’s team.

France: Three migrants from Guinea arrested for rape and violence against minors in their illegal madrassa
Three men were arrested as part of a preliminary investigation carried out by the national police in Blois. They are suspected of having held positions in an illegal madrassa where violence against children had occurred.
In Blois, where three men were arrested after a young girl reported being raped, there is a hail of questions and few answers. The judicial enquiry opened by the public prosecutor’s office on December 11 will have the difficult task of shedding light on a case in which sexual or other violence against minors is linked to the existence of an illegal madrassa in the northern districts of the city. At any rate, this is what emerges from the revelations of the newspaper La Nouvelle République, which France 3 was able to confirm.
It all starts when a twelve-year-old girl confides everything to her mother. A complaint is filed and a preliminary investigation is launched. Investigators from the Blois police station discovered an unregistered Quranic school. According to the Nouvelle République, the children who attended it reported harassment such as ‘beatings with fists, cables or belts’, which was confirmed by a police source. Three men were arrested by the police in Blés following a high-pressure investigation.
The Blois public prosecutor’s office and the Direction départementale de la sécurité publique are currently refusing to comment on the discovery of this illegal school and possible abuse.
However, the public prosecutor’s office confirmed that the three suspects were arrested and charged ‘in particular for illegally opening a private educational establishment, aiding and abetting the aforementioned offence, violence against minors under the age of 15 by a person in authority, rape of minors under the age of 15, bribery of minors under the age of 15 and failure to report a crime’. Two of the three suspects involved in the most serious offences have been remanded in custody, while the third remains under judicial supervision.
The purpose of the judicial investigation is to determine the extent of the offences reported and to identify any other victims. The Blois public prosecutor’s office also announced that the investigation has now been transferred to an investigating judge.
A Dortmund court has acquitted all police officers involved in the 2022 fatal shooting of a knife-wielding Senegalese teenager, citing self-defense, sparking public outrage among the German political left
All police officers charged in Germany in connection with the death of knife-wielding Senegalese teenager, Mouhamed Dramé, in a police operation in August 2022 have been acquitted by the Dortmund regional court.
On Thursday, the court ruled that the 31-year-old officer who fatally shot the 16-year-old migrant was acting in self-defense and did not commit a crime.
Presiding Judge Thomas Kelm stated that the officer’s actions were justified under the circumstances. “The shooter believed he was in a self-defense situation,” the judge said.
The service group leader, initially accused of negligent homicide, was also acquitted. The court rejected the prosecution’s claim that the leader’s order to use pepper spray had provoked the tragic events. Instead, it concluded that the decision to intervene was justified to prevent the teen from harming himself or others.
The prosecutor, who had earlier sought convictions for grievous bodily harm for some officers, reversed course during the trial and called for acquittals for nearly all defendants, arguing the situation required split-second decisions that were made under duress. The public prosecutor’s office did, however, insist on a ten-month suspended sentence for the 56-year-old service group leader accused of negligent homicide — a demand thrown out by the court.
The incident unfolded on Aug. 8, 2022, when police responded to reports of a young man armed with a knife on church property. Mouhamed D., a refugee from Senegal, allegedly threatened to stab himself when officers arrived. Attempts to de-escalate the situation through dialogue failed, leading the service group leader to order the use of pepper spray. However, instead of disarming, the migrant teen reportedly ran toward officers with the knife. Tasers were deployed but failed to stop him, prompting one officer to fire six shots with a submachine gun. The teenager was pronounced dead shortly after.
The case ignited significant public and political debate. In the courtroom, chants of “Justice for Mohamed” and “That was murder!” erupted after the verdict was announced. Outside the court, the decision was met with condemnation from various left-wing groups and individuals.
Bundestag member Martina Renner of the Left Party described the ruling as a “scandal judgment” on social media. The verdict also drew criticism from local politicians, with members of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Greens questioning the proportionality of the police response.
“In view of the great numerical superiority, was there really no other and milder way to avert the danger?” asked SPD lawmakers from Dortmund in a joint statement. Green Party representatives expressed their shock and offered condolences, highlighting broader concerns about racism and trust between police and migrant communities.
