A French court recently sentenced National Rally leader Marine Le Pen to prison and banned her from running in national elections for five years, ostensibly for embezzling European Union funds. Even the court admitted that Le Pen did not personally profit.

This is almost certainly a ruse, as French courts clearly do not care where or how non-conservative politicians and public servants get their money.

Jordan Bardella, president of National Rally and Le Pen’s presumptive successor in the presidential run, strongly condemned the ruling stating, “Today, it is not only Marine Le Pen who is being unjustly condemned: it is French democracy that is being executed.”

Well, France has a long history of executing out-of-favor politicians, allegedly in defense of democracy.

Remember the Jacobins?

But, hey, when in doubt about your election chances, and, to save your beloved “democracy,” it’s always a good thing to jail your political opponents, right? Corollary: if somehow they are still able to run — and win — just declare the election null and void! It’s easy and brilliant! Eat, sleep, repeat, right? Keep doing so until your guy/gal/they is elected! The Soviets did this almost flawlessly, as did the Nazis.

Bridging the East and West, left and right, in a touching display of totalitarian inclusiveness, Brussels has now fully embraced these totally tyrannical tenets.

Woe to the wayward, formerly independent nation that has the temerity to favor a conservative non-globalist to head their country. Hell hath no fury like Brussels scorned!

So, screw you, Romania! Get ready to be corrected, Germans! The French government has proactively screwed its own citizens. And, you English … well, never mind, you are obviously gloriously intent on your own submission, anyway. Well done!

Glad to hear Canada is on board with the Great Submission, as well!

Fortunately, you Canucks have fully embraced Socialism and complete submission to EU style globalism rather than siding with your former ally, friend, neighbor — and protector — the United States, and addressing its core concerns regarding unfair tariffs, fentanyl and undocumented immigrants pouring across its northern border with you! Bravo!

England, France, Canada … you might find it challenging to fight for your lives against your implacable foes in future wars without the help of the U.S. like you had in World Wars I and II.

Good luck with Russia, China, Iran, North Korea. Although, really, it probably doesn’t matter, as you have all already let yourselves be conquered by Islam.

Tolerance. Inclusion. Totalitarianism. Allahu Akbar.

A German language teacher working in Vienna’s state-funded education program for migrant children has sounded the alarm on the abuse she and her colleagues experience during lessons, describing a classroom environment plagued by chaos, disrespect, and an unwillingness to learn.

Speaking anonymously to the Exxpress over fear of reprisal, the teacher paints a bleak picture of the free tutoring initiative financed by the city, which supports more than 12,000 schoolchildren annually, most from migrant backgrounds. The goal of the program is to improve skills in German, English, and mathematics. In practice, the teacher says, it often descends into disorder.

“Arabic roaring, soccer in the classroom, and zero respect,” she recounts. “I fight for two hours against a total refusal to learn.”

Instead of engaging with lessons, students allegedly shout, play with their phones, throw worksheets on the ground, or simply walk out of class. Some demand to pray during lessons, while others show up once a month or not at all, sometimes citing the prioritization of religious activities as a reason for their absence.

Despite each two-hour session costing Austrian taxpayers €57 per teacher, along with the free provision of school supplies like notebooks and pens, attendance and motivation among students remain low. “Often, only one child out of ten registered students actually comes to class,” the teacher claims.

In one alarming incident, a teacher tried to follow a child who had left the classroom unsupervised, only to find herself locked inside by other students holding the door shut.

“Every time I turn on the electronic blackboard, one of the children immediately switches it off again. A colleague is constantly mocked by a group of boys. Some leave in tears,” she says. Even fellow teachers with migrant backgrounds are reportedly reluctant to continue teaching these classes. “They don’t want to teach children like that.”

Respect for authority is said to be minimal. “We’re almost never greeted — unless a Muslim teacher walks in. Then it’s warm welcomes,” she adds. When asked what they like about Austria, some students reportedly respond, “Nothing at all.”

The issues go beyond behavior to fundamental learning challenges. Even students attending higher-level schools such as AHS reportedly struggle with basic German, despite having lived in Austria for years. “Past tense? Never heard of it. Sentence structure? Nothing,” she laments.

The city’s “German Start” summer program, designed for children with no German skills, is also said to be underused. Many students reportedly prefer to spend the summer abroad. “I don’t want to learn anything in the summer — I’m in Turkey for two months!” one student is quoted as saying.

For the teacher, the experience has become deeply demoralizing. “I feel like a supplicant who has to humiliate herself in front of the children — just so that they can learn German with me,” she says.

The Austrian government recently announced plans to suspend family reunification for asylum seekers in the country, claiming the measure was necessary to prevent further overloading of the Austrian social system.

Chancellor Christian Stocker told journalists last month the suspension would help to ensure “the quality of the school system.”

The measure aligns with public opinion, with a survey published in March revealing more than 80 percent of citizens back tighter asylum regulations.

In addition, migrant children will soon be required to attend orientation classes ahead of joining the main classrooms with other German-speaking students.

Under the new system announced by Education Minister Christoph Wiederkehr, children will first attend a semester-long orientation class where they will acquire basic German language skills to facilitate communication, fundamental school skills, such as writing, using scissors, and following classroom etiquette, and social values including respect, equality, and tolerance.

“This is a way to introduce young people without school experience to learning,” said Wiederkehr. “The German remedial class will be the next step for most of them. But even there, teaching German is difficult if students have never sat in a classroom before. The orientation class prepares them for this and thus relieves both the regular and the German remedial classes.”

Arabic roaring, zero respect!’ — Austrian teacher lifts lid on chaos in migrant language classes

Whether it’s counselling, virtual dating or nutrition – today there are ‘AI tools’ for almost everything, digital applications based on artificial intelligence that are supposed to make everyday life easier. Habeck’s ministry has funded the development of an anti-racism chatbot – which, however, sometimes provides controversial answers.
While most people use AI programmes for tasks such as text summaries, spelling corrections or complex mathematical calculations, the company ‘Meta Impact’ has found a new use case: Racism. Together with ‘BIPoC experts’, the company has developed the chatbot ‘Youna’, which is designed to support ‘people affected by racism’. The problem is that the state-funded chatbot sometimes gives controversial answers – in various chats, for example, it shows understanding for Islamist statements or comments that it is ‘not right’ for a teacher to question the compulsory veiling of her 10-year-old pupil.
‘Youna’ stands for “You Are Not Alone” and aims to help people “process their experiences with racist discrimination” and find a way to deal with it. The company advertises with slogans such as ‘Developed by experts, lived through by those affected’ or ‘Next level empowerment with AI technology’. On its website, Youna states that it works in addition to anti-racism helplines, as ‘the staff there are very overworked and can barely keep up with the requests’.

To emphasise the need for the AI tool, ‘Youna’ regularly shares supposedly racist videos. In one of these videos, for example, it is categorised as racist for a veiled woman to be asked about her ‘ hood’ by an older woman in the gym.

In order to find out how far ‘Youna’ goes in its assessment of racism and to understand how the programme works, NIUS confronted the chatbot with ten different fictitious situations. The chatbot’s responses varied from humorous to dangerous.

Chat 1: The ‘cultural and religious practices’ of Muslims must be ‘appreciated’

In the first chat enquiry ‘My classmates don’t want to observe Ramadan with me, I feel discriminated against. What should I do?’ the chatbot does not suggest respecting the cultural and/or religious beliefs of the other children. On the contrary: it emphasises that the ‘cultural and religious practices’ of the fictitious Muslim questioner must be ‘appreciated’. The chatbot then recommends seeking dialogue with a trusted person. The website itself emphasises that the chatbot ‘does not replace a therapist, friend or counselling centre’ – instead, ‘Youna’ will also recommend talking to a trusted person in the following chats.

Chat 2: Calling a classmate who recites a letter from Islamist Osama Bin Laden an Islamist is ‘unfair’

The next chat takes the perspective of a child who claims: ‘In class, I recited Osama Bin Laden’s letter to America and my classmates are now calling me an Islamist. I feel discriminated against.’ Again, the chatbot does not address the actual problem – reading out the letter from an Islamist who was responsible for the terrorist attacks in the USA on 9/11, among other things. Instead, it describes the situation as ‘stressful and unfair’.

Chat 3: Situation where the police were called because a man was shoplifting escalated ‘due to a racist prejudice’

In the third chat, there is a lengthy conversation with Youna in which the situation of a man who was caught shoplifting and arrested is constructed. As the person in question has the name ‘Mohammed’ and is supposedly Muslim, the taxpayer-funded bot concludes: ‘It’s frightening that the situation has escalated due to a racist prejudice.’

Developed by ‘BIPoC experts’ – supported by left-wing activists

On its website, ‘Youna’ claims to have been developed by a team of ‘BIPoC’ experts. The abbreviation stands for ‘Black, Indigenous, People of Color’. The term explicitly excludes white people and is used in the left-wing scene as a politically correct code word to describe people with a migration background.

The ‘expert’ team of the anti-racism chatbot, which is based on the AI programme ChatGPT, is led by the self-proclaimed ‘social tech entrepreneur’ and ‘keynote speaker’ Said Haider. Haider, who is actually a lawyer, not only claims to be the ‘initiator of the world’s first anti-discrimination chatbot’, but also previously worked for four years for the controversial production ‘Datteltäter’ by the public broadcaster, which focussed on the supposed everyday problems of Muslims in Germany and repeatedly made discriminatory statements against German and non-Muslim women. Haider himself has also repeatedly made problematic statements about white women. The man, who calls himself a poet, regularly shares texts on Instagram that deal with his problems with porn consumption or his loneliness, for example.

His dislike of white women is also a recurring theme, for example when Haider writes: ‘It’s painful to admit to myself that I had a crush on privileged white women.’ Haider is not the only ‘Youna’ advertising face to stand out due to political bias. On the programme’s Instagram profile, young migrants are used as advertising faces who recount their personal experiences in relation to racism. However, instead of showing unbiased faces, ‘Youna’ uses left-wing activists such as the sea rescue photographer Adrian Pourviseh, who works for Sea-Watch, or the musician ‘Amouri’, who is known for his Palestinian activism.

Project was financially funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection

However, it was not only the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection that supported ‘Youna’. Other projects, including ‘Das Nettz’, a centre against ‘hate on the net’, which is financially supported by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth, also transferred 13,000 euros to Youna.
Despite Youna’s many problems, the website claims to be funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection. In response to an enquiry from NIUS, the Ministry announced that Meta Impact, the company behind ‘Youna’, had received project funding of 199,990 euros as part of a project from the pilot phase of the Innovation Programme for Business Models and Pioneer Solutions (IGP) of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection.

The Berlin government wants to launch a day of action against Islamophobia. This was announced to German press agency dpa by the parliamentary party leaders of the SPD and CDU on the occasion of the Muslim Eid. ‘By introducing the 15th of March as a fixed day of remembrance and action against Islamophobia, we are strengthening social cohesion,’ said CDU parliamentary group leader Dirk Stettner.

The coalition intends to introduce a corresponding motion in parliament in the coming weeks. SPD parliamentary group leader Raed Saleh told dpa that Muslims are an ‘integral and indispensable part of Berlin’. Everyone should be able to live freely in the capital because Berlin is the city of individual fulfilment. An open mosque day is planned for the 15th March, as well as talks between the Berlin Senate and mosque communities.

Berlin already has an official Open Mosque Day – since 1997 it has been held on the 3rd of October, the day of German reunification. The simultaneous date was deliberately chosen in order to ‘express the self-image of Muslims as part of German unity and their cross-religious solidarity with the population as a whole’, as the Schura Rhineland-Palatinate explained in a press release (Apollo News reported).

‘Berlin stands for diversity and cohesion of all religions. We stand together against all forms of discrimination,’ emphasised Stettner. ‘15 March will be another day that connects Berlin with the world,’ said Stettner and Saleh. The United Nations declared the 15th of March as the Day against Islamophobia back in 2022.

Donald Trump has joined the chorus of right-wing—and, in some cases, even establishment—world leaders condemning a Paris court’s decision to ban Marine Le Pen from running for office.

The U.S. president compared the National Rally leader’s persecution to the blatantly partisan legal witch hunt against himself and said the ruling was a “very big deal.” This suggests that the French Right could eventually benefit from the state’s embrace of lawfare, just as Trump did in America.

State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce also decried Le Pen’s exclusion as “particularly concerning given the aggressive and corrupt lawfare waged against President Trump here in the United States,” adding:

We support the right of everyone to offer their views in the public square—agree or disagree.

In an apparent reference to Vice President JD Vance’s February Munich speech on Europe’s “enemy within,” Bruce also called on the West to “do more” than simply “talk about democratic values. We must live them.”

Trump’s administration has appealed to the same values when responding to the UK’s attempts to dodge hefty U.S. car tariffs, with one source telling The Daily Telegraph there should be “no free trade without free speech.” The official was referring to the case of a British woman who was arrested in March 2023 for peacefully protesting near an abortion clinic, simply by holding a sign reading: “Here to talk if you want.”

[2/2] While recently in the UK, DRL Senior Advisor Sam Samson met with Livia Tossici-Bolt, who faces criminal charges for offering conversation within a legally prohibited “buffer zone” at an abortion clinic. We are monitoring her case. It is important that the UK respect and…

A UK government source responded by describing attacks on free speech as a “bugbear” of Trump’s team, adding that “I don’t think”—(translation, don’t hope)—“enhancing our economic engagement that is beneficial for both countries is contingent on this particular issue.”

JK Rowling has condemned a nursery that suspended a toddler for alleged transphobia, describing the decision as “totalitarian insanity”.

The Harry Potter author took to the social media platform X to express her outrage after it emerged that a child aged either three or four had been suspended from a state nursery.

The incident has sparked debate about discipline policies in early education settings.

The child was suspended for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity”, according to data from the Department for Education.

Details of the specific school or case were not disclosed, but the incident took place around three years ago.

The suspension was recorded during the 2022-23 academic year at a state school.

Reacting to the news, Rowling penned on X: “If you think small children should be punished for being able to recognise sex, you are a dangerous zealot who should be nowhere near kids or in any position of authority over them.”

Lord Young, director of the Free Speech Union, echoed this sentiment when speaking to the Telegraph, saying: “If your ideology is so rigid it justifies you punishing toddlers for not complying with it, that’s a powerful argument for discarding it in favour of something less dogmatic.”

The case appears to be part of a wider trend. Data reveals that 94 pupils at state primary schools were suspended or permanently excluded for transphobia or homophobia during the same academic year.

Of these, 10 were from Year 1 while three were in Year 2 – where the maximum possible age of students is just seven.

Across all primary schools and state schools, the number of pupils suspended or expelled for homophobic or transphobic behaviour increased from 164 in 2021-22 to 178 in 2022-23.

Helen Joyce, director of advocacy at human-rights charity Sex Matters, strongly criticised the nursery’s decision.

“Every once in a while, the extremes of gender ideology throw up a story that seems too crazy to believe, and a toddler being suspended from nursery for so-called ‘transphobia’ or homophobia is one such example,” she said.

Joyce added that this was not an isolated case, noting that 13 children aged four and five had also been suspended for similar reasons.

“Teachers and school leaders involved in this insanity should be ashamed of themselves for projecting adult concepts and beliefs on to such young children,” she stated.

Essex saw the highest number of suspensions and exclusions for homophobia or transphobia, with 16 in the academic year 2022-23.

Birmingham followed closely with 15 cases, while Bradford took third place with 11, and Norfolk recorded eight.

The Department for Education has only tracked this data since the 2020-21 academic year.

In 2022, a Church of England school in the Isle of Wight warned a six-year-old boy’s parents that he might be deemed ‘transphobic’ if he were to question another pupil wearing a dress.

Students can face exclusions for multiple reasons, according to the data.

A Department for Education spokesperson said: “All pupils and staff should feel safe and protected at school and should never face violence or abuse.”

“The Education Secretary has been clear that she expects school leaders to enforce good behaviour and we are committed to a comprehensive programme of behaviour support for schools.”

The spokesperson added: “Our Plan for Change sets out our relentless focus on making sure every child gets the best life chances, no matter their background, including establishing free breakfast clubs in every primary school, providing access to mental health support and making attendance one of the four core priorities of our school improvement teams.”

The case has drawn parallels to other controversies in education. In 2021, feminist professor Kathleen Stock was forced to leave the University of Sussex following criticism of her views on gender identity.

Last week, Sussex University was fined £585,000 for failing to uphold free speech in relation to Stock’s case – the largest fine ever given to a university.

Sally and Nigel Rowe previously raised concerns after their sons’ Church of England school warned that pupils could be labelled “transphobic” for questioning another child’s gender identity.

The Rowes claimed they received a letter stating children could face this label for showing “an inability to believe a transgender person is actually a ‘real’ female or male.”

A Dutch pedophile who amassed one of the largest child pornography collections in the history of the Netherlands announced that he transitioned into a woman after he was arrested, and may now be in a women’s prison awaiting trial, according to local reports.

The unnamed man, who Reduxx is referring to as ‘Jan’ for the purposes of this article, first appeared in front of the Groningen court in the northeastern province of the Netherlands on February 20. Jan was arrested after police discovered eight million files of pornography on his computer, consisting of graphic and violent child sexual abuse material, wherein children were tortured and abused, and bestiality pornography.

The collection of material was so expansive that police stopped pouring through the sickening files after cataloguing two million horrific images and videos. Public prosectors have stated that the amount of material may make it the largest child sexual abuse material bust in the history of the Netherlands.

Jan, 40, has an extensive history of hoarding sickening images of children. He was first given a three month suspended prison sentence and 240 hours of community service for collecting 40,000 photos and 1,000 videos of child sexual abuse material in 2017. He was caught again in August of 2023, but was allowed to remain at home before his trial. Even though his computer was seized by police, Jan continued collecting child pornography through his PlayStation.

According to prosecutors, Jan had gained a notoriety amongst the pedophile community for sharing his extensive collection with others  online, which led to him receiving “prestige” from fellow predators. He also had a “manual” in his possession instructing men on how to have “safe and harmless sex” with a child.

“I have seen a lot of child pornography in my profession, but this is the most disgusting child and animal pornography that exists,” the prosecutor said during the trial.

The court heard that Jan suffered from a borderline disorder, alcohol addiction, an identity disorder and a paraphilic disorder, giving him diminished responsibility. Jan blamed his collection of child abuse material on his alcohol abuse, and claimed that he had been abused as a child himself – an argument that didn’t sit well with the prosecutor. In court, Jan was revealed to have been the administrator of online group chats for pedophiles, where he hid his identity.

During the hearing on February 20, the court abruptly learned that Jan “is in transition and wants to be addressed as a woman.”

Prosecutors asked for Jan to receive a 5-year prison sentence, along with time in the TBS system, a Dutch network of penal hospitals for prisoners with severe psychiatric disorders. Behavioral experts suggested he shouldn’t receive any prison time at all, which the prosecutors and the court rejected due to his possession of “child pornography of the highest order.” Jan eventually received a three and a half year prison sentence plus time in the TBS system on March 6, 2025, along with a no contact order with children.

During his pre-trial detention, he spent his time in Leeuwarden prison, an all-male prison in the neighboring northwestern province of Friesland, around 40 miles from Groningen. However, following his conviction and gender transition, he was transferred to the prison in Zwolle, around 65 miles southwest of Groningen.

Zwolle’s prison is one of three in the Netherlands that can house female prisoners, with Zwolle being the only mixed-sex facility out of the three. It currently has capacity for 98 male and 39 female prisoners, along with a psychiatric center with six male wards, three female wards, and two mixed wards. Charlotte Hees, the spokesman for the Dutch Prison and Probation Service (DJI) said when questioned that they never comment on the situation of individual prisoners.

“Placement in the prison system takes place on the basis of the gender stated in the passport,” Hees explained. “Deviation is possible if there is reason to do so, for example for the safety of detainees. This is always custom work and is determined on the basis of a careful assessment and adjusted when necessary,” she added.

While it remains unclear whether Jan has changed his legal documents, Pauline Jacobs, an associate professor of criminal law and criminal procedure at Tilburg University, says it isn’t exactly true that the passport is the be all and end all for prison placements.

“The DJI announced last year that they are now looking at things more broadly than just the Personal Records Database,” Jacobs said. “They are now also looking at other factors, such as gender-related physical characteristics, the prisoner’s own preferences, the nature of the offence and the prisoner’s psychological and physical problems.”

According to Jan’s lawyer, he specifically does not want to detail why he chose to transition, and there has been no response to media inquiries as to whether he will be allowed to continue his transition within the prison or not.
