German public broadcasters have advised authors not to use their own names for the credits of films, instead using female, Arabic names

Statements by actress and cabaret artist Monika Gruber on alleged diversity practices at ARD are currently causing a stir.

In a world of diversity that is characterised by anticipatory obedience, anything is apparently possible. However, a massive accusation by cabaret artist Monika Gruber now eclipses everything that has been heard in the rumour mill to date.
In an interview with the “Club der klaren Worte” portal, Gruber told an almost unbelievable story: a friend of hers had written a script, “I think for German public broadcaster ARD”. It was then ‘suggested’ to him ‘whether it would be ok’ if his name was not shown in the film credits, but instead a female name, and one with a ‘migration background’, according to Gruber. In this case, it was supposed to be an Arabic name.
According to Gruber, ARD’s alleged reasoning was: It wouldn’t go down well if you could tell from his name that an ‘old white man’ had written the script. This is not an isolated case, Gruber added in this interview – ‘I know that from a lot of people’. Men in particular would be asked to be named under a pseudonym.

Monika Gruber did not reveal who the scriptwriters she mentioned were, citing protection of identity. ARD responded to a request from German weekly Focus:

Artist names and pseudonyms are nothing unusual in the creative and media industry. ARD has no guidelines in this regard. The ARD programme management is not aware that individual scriptwriters were allegedly pressured to change their names in order to suggest a migrant background. Why Monika Gruber is making this claim – which is not substantiated in any way – and which refers to three cases she is allegedly aware of, is something she herself must answer.

And German public broadcaster ZDF, which was not named by Gruber, told Focus that it could ‘rule out’ the kind of behaviour described by Gruber. And: ‘Beyond that, we do not comment on the statements made.’

One thing is certain: The ARD media association has made diversity a joint task, as can be read on its homepage. Among other things, it says:

A cross-station network and a new working structure should help to make the diversity society tangible in the programme and thus reach more people.

Five Trans-Identified Males Compete in Women’s Disc Golf Championships, Taking Nearly $5k in Prizes

At least five men who claim to be transgender competed in the US Pro Disc Golf Association (PDGA) Women’s Championships, which took place June 19 to 22, securing nearly $5,000 in prize money intended for female athletes.

Trans-identified male athlete James “Nova” Politte took first place in the Women’s 55+ Pro division, securing a national championship title and was awarded a $2,050 prize. During the registration period just prior to the championships, Politte took to social media and announced that he was monitoring the names of the women who switched divisions or dropped out of the competition after he officially entered – suggesting they were doing so due to a lack of “trans acceptance.”

This is Politte’s third major title, having twice been declared the PDGA Masters World Champion in the Female Pro 50+ division – first in 2021, then again in 2022. Politte has been an active PDGA competitor across various mixed or open divisions since 2015, but won his first PDGA Masters World Championship title after he began competing in a female age-protected category.

Politte’s romantic partner, Salvatore “Kimberly” Giannola took second place at the Women’s Championships, and a $1,100 prize, in the Women’s 50+ division. Since the start of this year, Giannola has competed in six women’s events, and has received $2,076 in total. Last month, Giannola took first place at the Women’s Pro Open, while Politte came in third.

Another male athlete competing in the women’s category last week, Logan “Natalie” Ryan, came in 20th place in the Women’s Pro Open division, and received a $1,440 prize. Ryan has competed in seven Women’s Pro Open tournaments in just this year alone, and has been awarded over $5,300 in prize money within the past three months. Since 2019, he has racked up 30 wins in the women’s division, and has reportedly taken home over $40,000 in prize money.

Ryan’s participation in the women’s events has come under scrutiny in recent years. In December 2022, Ryan took legal action against the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) over a revision that had been made to their gender identity policies.

The updated rule, which appeared to have been adopted due to his presence in the women’s category, stated that “players who were assigned male at birth” must have started their medical “transition” before the onset of puberty to be considered eligible to compete against women. It also stipulated that trans-identified male players must “continuously maintain a total testosterone level below 2.0 nmol/L.” The average normal testosterone level in women is typically between 0.20 and 1.67 nmol/L.

“This policy attacks touring athletes due to my success on the 2022 tour,” Ryan stated in his request for financial support on crowd-funding site GoFundMe.

The PDGA retracted their policy in response to Ryan’s legal threat. In a statement posted to the PDGA website revealing that the policy restrictions had been removed due to a ruling in Ryan’s favor, the disc golf authority pointed out that they had lacked the funds to pursue the matter further.

“The PDGA and Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT) have been named defendants in lawsuits over the application of the Policy in California and Minnesota, and judges in each state issued orders overriding the Policy,” read the statement. “The PDGA is not financially or logistically in a position to take the lead in multi-state litigation on this topic.”

On Instagram, Ryan stated that he was “ruthless” in his legal pursuit. “I’m excited to announce that the PDGA, DGPT and I have reached an agreement. All trans women will be equals at the elite level again. I had to be ruthless to get them to listen.”

Male athlete Robert “Amanda” Branch also participated in the Pro Open division but did not place high enough to win prize money. On Reddit, Branch has stated that he self-administers feminizing hormones rectally.

In January 2023, Branch called a PDGA representative and aggressively questioned the staff member over the gender identity policy revisions, which were backtracked later that year as a result of Ryan’s suit. During the call, which he recorded and posted to his YouTube channel, Branch can be heard grilling the representative over an application form which had not yet been updated to reflect the new policy. The representative refers to Branch as “ma’am” and apologizes to him.

Ben “Ember” Simonis also competed in the Women’s Championships, though he did not place high enough to be granted prize money. Simonis previously competed against men in the Mixed Amateur category.

In total, the men were handed $4,590 in winnings that had been set aside for female disc golf players.

As Reduxx previously reported, a female pro disc golfer walked off the tee in protest over Ryan’s participation in the women’s division during the Music City Open held in Nashville. Abbie Wilson was scheduled to play against him, but refused to compete.

Last year, professional disc golf player from Estonia, Kristin Lätt (formerly Tattar), who holds the highest PDGA rating in the FPO (Female Professional) division, spoke out against males playing in her sport. Lätt had lost to Ryan in the 2022 MVP Open in Massachusetts.

Lätt said that in 2023, women were threatened with disqualification if they didn’t accept trans-identified males in their category.

“In sports, it’s obvious to me why there are two divisions. We are designed differently. I think women should be in their own category. I want us all to be happy and to be able to play disc golf in fair conditions.”

In 2023, 33 professional female disc golf players petitioned the courts to save their sport. The petition was referred to as the Stockton Declaration in a nod to Ryan’s disqualification after already competing in day one of the FPO (female pro open) OTB Open in Stockton, California that year.

That summer, professional player Catrina Allen also organized an action which she livestreamed from her Instagram account.

“It is a act of biology that being born with male biology, going through male puberty, and experiencing male levels of testosterone conveys enormous performance advantages. Elite sport for those of us born biological females cannot exist without eligibility standards that consider these basic biological facts,” Allen said.

“What an absolute blow to women’s sports this year. I really, really wish the PDGA could have reached out for financial support from those of us that would have helped along the way. They should not have had to fight alone, while NR received free counsel and gofundme support. Such a sad time for women disc golfers. At this point just focus on putting NR at the bottom of the leaderboard,” Allen stated in her post.

In 2022, a PDGA member survey found that 80% of women involved in professional disc golf believed that trans-identified males should not be allowed to compete against female players. PDGA administration appeared to respond negatively to the results, affixing “implications” to the slideshow that stated: “People lie. People lie on surveys. Some people lied on this survey.”

Ireland prepares to pass a law officially boycotting Israeli products

By Andrea Widburg

Ireland is a gorgeous country with a rich historical culture. It was also long a victim of vicious British policies that ultimately led to an impoverished nation so dependent on potatoes that, when a blight struck those potatoes, a million people died and another million abandoned Ireland, mostly for America. Through it all, though, Ireland clung to Catholicism, which gave it a unique moral grounding. However, that faith is vanishing, with leftism and Islam taking its place. No wonder that this new, antisemitic Ireland is on the verge of officially boycotting Israel.

In the Republic of Ireland, as of 2022, 69% of the population still identified as Catholic. While that number seems high, it still represents a staggering 21% decline in just 16 years. Thus, in 2006, 90% of Irish residents identified as Catholic. I’m willing to bet that, in the 2.5 years since that 2022 poll, the number of self-identified Catholics has fallen still further.

But identifying as Catholic and being Catholic are two different things (just as people can identify as Jewish but embrace antisemitic politicians who embrace ideologies demanding mass Jewish genocide). Thus, while 69% of the country “identifies” as Catholic, only 27% were attending mass as of 2020. Given the importance of the sacrament, it seems that those Catholics skipping Mass don’t really believe in the faith.

Two factors have led to the shift. One is the increasing secularization of the West thanks to leftism. Ireland held off for a long time, but it was obvious that it was losing the fight when it legalized abortion in 2018. In 2023, over 10,000 abortions were performed in Ireland. I’m betting that number is higher now, given that the number of abortions has increased by around 1,500 every year since 2019, when the first legal abortions were performed,

Then, in 2017, Ireland elected its first openly gay prime minister (or Taoiseach). Regardless of your opinions about homosexuality, the one truth is that this could never have happened in a devoutly Catholic country.

Leo Varadkar, like the current prime minister, Simon Harris, rose through the Fine Gael party, which claims to be “center right.” That’s not true by American standards of conservatism. Fine Gael has been a “social justice” party since the 1960s. It supports same sex marriage, abortion, socialized medicine, and the EU. It’s “center right” in the same way the less extremist wing of the Democrat party might be called “center right.”

The second factor in Ireland’s “value shift” may have been driven by immigration. As of 2022, Islam was the fastest-growing non-Christian religion in Ireland, with 1.6% of the population identifying as Muslim. As we’ve seen across Europe, these Muslim immigrants, unlike the enervated Europeans, take their faith seriously. And again, that was in 2022.

There hasn’t been a census since then, but Ireland’s open-to-Islam immigration policy suggests that there are a lot more than approximately 82,000 Muslims in Ireland today (as there were in 2022). Indeed, the best estimates are that the actual Muslim population has increased by .4% (or a factor of 25%) in just 2 years.

And of course, the Muslim presence is much greater in the cities, which have the numeric heft to drive a nation’s policies. (The Founders, recognizing this, in their great wisdom gave each state, regardless of size, two Senators, and instituted the Electoral College.) According to that same 2022 census (which is now probably significantly too low), the Muslim population in Ireland’s capital city of Dublin was 37,458 people. That’s a high density of Muslims.

The above introduction gets me to this news story, which I believe reflects a fusion of Ireland’s leftism and rising Islamism:

The Irish government, which has openly displayed its hatred for Israel in recent years, took another step targeting the Jewish state, becoming the first country in Europe to introduce legislation forbidding imports from the Biblical areas of Judea and Samaria.

Irish Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister and former Prime Minister Simon Harris introduced a bill titled the General Scheme of the Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill. It was passed by the Irish government and now must be approved by the Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade for Pre-Legislative Scrutiny, the Jerusalem Post reported.

Ireland, once the most Catholic country in post-WWII Europe, is on the verge of throwing its weight to a Muslim region that routinely slaughters Christians and dreams of Jewish genocide.

Periodically, the Irish people gather for fairly large anti-immigration marches that the mainstream media ignore:

These marches are irrelevant. Unlike the Americans, who won a revolution and recognized the necessity of maintaining their arms, when the Irish threw off the British, they gave up their weapons. Their government does not fear them, but it does fear the Muslims among them. And, in any event, a left-leaning government aligns with the Muslims on most issues.

Nine underage girls abused by Syrian men in the outdoor pool in Gelnhausen, Germany

Barbarossa outdoor pool L 3333 – Google Maps

They were just out having fun in the water, wanting to cool off with their friends. But instead, the day ended horribly: numerous underage girls were abused in an outdoor pool in Hesse.
The assaults took place last Sunday at the Barbarossa public outdoor pool in Gelnhausen (population around 23,000). Several girls reported to the pool staff in the south-east of Hesse at around 5 pm: They had been touched by a group of men in the whirlpool area – all over their bodies.
The alerted police were able to arrest four suspects (18 – 28). Another man is said to have left the baths beforehand without being recognised. The men are Syrian nationals, a spokeswoman for the south-east Hesse police headquarters in Offenbach confirmed to BILD. Two are related to each other. Criminal charges have been filed against all of them. They were also banned from the swimming pool.
Initially, five schoolgirls came forward and reported the offences. However, after the sexual assaults in the outdoor pool became public knowledge, more girls responded. They also testified to having been sexually harassed. ‘We currently have nine girls,’ said the police when asked by BILD. The youngest victim is eleven years old, the oldest 17.

The incident was the first of its kind in Barbarossa outdoor pool this year, said Mayor Christian Litzinger (CDU) according to broadcaster ‘Hessischer Rundfunk’.
At present, it cannot be ruled out that other girls or women were affected. Please contact the police in Gelnhausen by calling 06051-8270.

British Rocker Rod Stewart Backs Nigel Farage for Prime Minister

Wikimedia Commons, Bielawa, CC-BY-2.0

Singer-songwriter Rod Stewart has become the latest prominent British celebrity to endorse Nigel Farage as his Reform UK party seeks to upend the political establishment in London.

It is time to “give Farage a chance” at governing the country, according to Maggie May singer Rod Stewart.

Speaking to The Times of London, Sir Rod said that while he is “extremely wealthy”, he said that it “doesn’t mean I’m out of touch”.

“For instance, I’ve read about Starmer cutting off the fishing in Scotland and giving it back to the EU. That hasn’t made him popular. We’re fed up with the Tories,” he said.

“Starmer’s all about getting us out of Brexit, and I don’t know how he’s going to do that. Still, the country will survive. It could be worse. We could be in the Gaza Strip,” the British rocker added.

“We’ve got to give Farage a chance. He’s coming across well… What options have we got? I know some of his family, I know his brother, and I quite like him,” Stewart said.

The 80-year-old rocker went on to lament the current state of Britain’s infrastructure, citing the prevalence of potholes on UK roads.

“As I travel in Italy, Germany, nowhere else is as bad. Starmer has promised to spend millions on it … We shall see,” Stewart said.

Relaying an incident in 2022 when he was filmed personally filling potholes, he said: “I took me Ferrari out. Nearly lost the f***ing wheel… And before I did in the Ferrari I saw an ambulance that couldn’t move, the wheel stuck right in there.

“So I took me mates out, and we knew what to do because I had builders in the house. We filled in a considerable length of the road, actually.”

Sir Rod is just the latest high-profile celebrity to back Farage and his upstart Reform UK party. In April, Chopping Block celebrity chef Marco Pierre White threw his support behind the Brexit boss, saying that he found Farage to be a “very impressive individual”.

Farage has also secured the backing of figures such as British heavyweight boxer Dereck Chisora and former soap actress Holly Vallance.

Diversity Isn’t Strength; a Shared Identity Is

Kobi Nazrul Primary School

Twenty years ago, I was a juggler. The majority of my ‘work’ was in schools. I travelled the length and breadth of England – witnessing firsthand the changes wrought by Tony Blair and New Labour ‘diversity’. I can remember all of the best jobs – invariably these were small village schools, where the pupil numbers did not exceed a hundred. The family atmosphere was tangible, and it was a great pleasure to be there. I can remember the worst ones too. These were almost always large, faceless, inner-city academies. 

One in particular stands out in my memory, a primary school in East London. The cultural divide couldn’t have been starker. Only one or two in each class were what would be termed ‘white British’. The white headmaster was openly ridiculed as he proudly walked the corridors, while the teachers were largely ignored.

 This had very little to do with money, at least the amount spent on the learning environment. Judging by the recent upgrades to the building and the state-of-the-art facilities, the government certainly wasn’t shirking its financial responsibility. What was chronically absent was a sense of shared identity—something the crumbling bricks and peeling paint of small village schools could not erode. Here I found myself in the midst of diverse cultures, languages, religions, and backgrounds—everything we’re told is supposed to enrich us. Do not be deceived: diversity ain’t strength; uniformity is.

Fast forward 20 years, and ultimate diversity has finally been achieved. London is now home to a school where not one of the pupils’ first languages is English. Welcome to Kobi Nazrul Primary School—named after the national poet of Bangladesh but which, curiously, you find situated in London’s East End; just a stone’s throw from the East London Mosque (one of Europe’s largest), which comfortably accommodates 7,000 Muslims.

Anyone familiar with the English Monopoly board might be shocked to learn that, according to the 2021 Census, Whitechapel (the school’s locale) is home to a 51.3% Asian population. Of the school’s 243 pupils, 92.5% are Bangladeshi who speak Bengali as their first language. Ofsted—the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills—apparently gave the school a ‘glowing’ report, coupled with a ‘good’ rating. But then, at least the school wasn’t ‘too white’—something Ofsted vehemently objects to.

The influx of Islam set against the backdrop of cockney London is striking. The Victorian terraced houses still stand, but the pie-and-mash shops and pubs frequented by the Kray twins are long gone. In their stead, Palestinian flags adorn the windows; ‘no ball games’ is written in both English and Bengali; and in lieu of ‘gangster chic,’ abayas and thobes now throng the pavements.

On its current trajectory, this is England’s inexorable future – a Muslim future. The statistics are hard to dispute. With a birth rate at least double that of the native population, it’s no surprise that ‘Mohammed’ is the most popular baby name in England and Wales, and has been for quite some time. What this means in practice, is that the Muslim contribution to Britain is only going to get more noticeable; what a pity, when so much of that ‘contribution’ is negative. 

One of the most negative features of Islam in Britain is its spectacular intolerance of the host nation, the host population, and the host’s values: 

  • 66% of British Muslims would not inform the police if a friend was involved in terrorism.
  • 4% sympathise with suicide bombers. 
  • 52% think homosexuality should be illegal.
  • Only 1 in 4 believe Hamas committed murder and rape in Israel on October 7th. 
  • Almost half say Jews have too much power over UK government policy. 
  • 52% want to make it illegal to show a picture of the Prophet Mohammed.
  • 32% favour both the implementation of Sharia Law and the declaration of Islam as Britain’s national religion.

Perhaps most disturbing is that extreme views are more likely to be found within the youngest cohort surveyed (18-34), with British-born Muslims more radical than those born overseas.

It’s thanks to such intolerance that London is now considered a no-go zone for Jews when pro-Palestinian protests are taking place. And while the Labour government denies the existence of a two-tier society, Britain is thought to be the ‘western capital’ for Sharia Law, thanks to the number of Sharia councils in operation.

Muslims are not projected to supplant the entire native population any time soon. Whites are, however, expected to become a minority in their homeland within the next 40 years. And with Kobi Nazrul situated within Tower Hamlets (the highest Muslim concentration in the country), this does provide a good litmus test of what our children and grandchildren can expect to contend with.

Tower Hamlets is justly famous as the home of electoral fraud and a fiefdom of inveterate bad penny Mayor Lutfur Rahman. Banned during his first term of office for electoral fraud and ‘practising undue spiritual influence,’ Rahman nonetheless successfully rebranded as the Aspire Party in 2022 and romped home to victory. What were the odds?

There is a worrying dissonance between Rahman’s alleged links to Islamic extremism (the reason he was expelled from the Labour Party), and the official line from bodies such as Ofsted, which seems determined to rate the borough’s performance as ‘outstanding’ wherever possible. Indeed, it’s not so long ago that Kobi Nazrul recorded the worst ever SAT results, alongside infiltration by Islamic extremists—including a school governor who was a senior member of the outlawed group Hizb ut-Tahrir. The school may be under new management, but knowing what we now know about government cover-ups in relation to Islam, what are the chances Ofsted is simply ‘glossing over’ the rough edges in the name of ‘community cohesion’?

Far from celebrating schools like Kobi Nazrul, I submit this is nothing short of the death of England; state-sponsored cultural sabotage and replacement, completed without a shot being fired nor even a hint of resistance. Perhaps the end of whites in the East End will be a success, time will tell. But one can’t help wondering why its new inhabitants left their homelands in the first place if they’re only going to establish the same enclaves they left behind? 

Whatever replaces cockney London, two things are certain: first, it will no longer be England. And second, it’s coming to a town near you sooner than you think.

Qatari camel herder tried to rape woman in London heart clinic while being treated

Gherainiq received a seven-year sentence Met Police

A 27-year-old Qatari camel herder has been found guilty on two attempted rape charges with his victim being left “frozen with fear” during the attacks.

Nasser Al-Gherainiq was convicted at Southwark Crown Court following an assault that took place at a private medical facility connected to Royal Brompton Hospital in south-west London.

The defendant, who had travelled to Britain for specialist heart treatment, attacked a woman by forcing her into a toilet cubicle at the medical centre.

Al-Gherainiq joins a long list of foreign offenders in UK prisons, now representing nearly one-in-eight (12 per cent) prisoners in our overcrowded jails.

The Qatari national comes from a conservative Bedouin tribe in Qatar’s desert regions, where he worked herding camels with minimal exposure to urban or contemporary life.

Al-Gherainiq assaulted the women at Royal Brompton Hospital Royal Brompton Hospital – Google Maps

The court heard he had never left Qatar before arriving in the UK in 2023 for treatment of a rare cardiac condition.

His barrister described him as having had little interaction with the outside world prior to his journey to London.

Speaking through an Arabic interpreter during proceedings, Al-Gherainiq appeared in court wearing standard grey prison clothing.

Defence counsel characterised him as “equivalent to an immature and inexperienced adolescent” who came from what they described as a different era.

The defence argued that profound cultural differences meant Al-Gherainiq did not understand how to interact with women and “completely failed to understand” his victim’s “true feelings”.

His legal team claimed he was unaware the woman had not consented when he pulled her into the toilet cubicle and attacked her.

The judge told Al-Gherainiq: “You knew perfectly well what you were doing.”

The case raised several unanswered questions about how Al-Gherainiq arrived in Britain, who funded his medical treatment and travel, and his accommodation arrangements whilst in London.

Al-Gherainiq had spent over a year on remand before standing trial, having first appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in August 2023 after his arrest.

He was sentenced to seven years in prison.

Vienna: Muslim ‘’guardians of public morals’ beat up teenager ( aged 17) because of his relationship with a Muslim girl

A 17-year-old Viennese boy was brutally attacked in Vienna’s Döbling district – apparently because he was with a Chechen teenager. The perpetrators even pulled out a knife. The State Criminal Police Office is now investigating.
The shocking attack on a 17-year-old Austrian youth took place on Thursday evening in Vienna’s Hugo Wolf Park. The teenager was attacked by several young men – apparently because he was in a relationship with a 16-year-old Chechen girl.
At around 10 pm, the teenager was confronted by the group, reports the newspaper Krone. A short time later, one of the men allegedly punched him and pushed him to the ground. Particularly perfidious: one of the attackers allegedly pulled out a knife, demanded the mobile phone code and stole the mobile phone. The perpetrators only fled when the victim struggled to breathe.
The victim initially returned to his assisted living facility, where a carer alerted the police. According to the teenager, the perpetrators were men of Chechen origin who had already threatened him on the underground in the past if he and his girlfriend continued their relationship. The group apparently described themselves as ‘’guardians of public morals’.

The Vienna State Office of Criminal Investigation (West branch) has started the investigation. According to the police, the suspects have already been identified.
