End of Impunity: Antifa, Public Enemy No. 1

On November 13, 2025, the US State Department added four European terrorist organizations to its list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs): Antifa Ost (Germany), the International Revolutionary Front (Italy), Armed Proletarian Justice (Greece) and Revolutionary Class Self-Defense (Greece).

This decision by the US administration was based on overwhelming evidence: knife and hammer attacks, shootings, bombings and the use of improvised explosive devices that targeted civilians, public infrastructure and private businesses.

The move forms part of a wider transatlantic dynamic launched by Hungary. In September 2025, the Hungarian government — after a series of attacks in Budapest in which Antifa Ost torched police vehicles, destroyed shops, and carried out targeted assaults on right-wing activists — designated the group as a terrorist organization. Earlier in September, the US classified Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.

The attacks in Hungary occurred in February 2023, during the commemoration of “Honor Day,” marking the end of the Second World War. Five coordinated assaults targeted nine individuals perceived as “right-wing activists.” The attackers — fifteen militants, including Germans and Italians — used hammers, telescopic batons, tear gas and brass knuckles. Four of the victims sustained serious injuries: multiple fractures, head trauma and irreversible damage. These actions, which led to arrests in Hungary, Germany and Italy, sparked a diplomatic scandal. The election of Italian citizen Ilaria Salis — allegedly one of the perpetrators of the violent attacks — to the European Parliament in 2024 granted her parliamentary immunity. As a co-author of these despicable acts, she is now funded by the European taxpayer. Salis spent several months in detention in Hungary over her alleged role in the assaults, but after she was elected as an MEP, the parliamentary immunity she gained resulted in her release.

Washington has begun applying the same method it uses against Islamist organizations and drug cartels: shutting these networks out of the American and international financial system, freezing their assets and prosecuting all those who provide logistical or ideological support. The consequences are immediate: any person or entity residing in the United States who materially assists these groups faces penalties of up to 20 years in prison.

Documented Violence, Not Rhetoric

Antifa Ost, based in Leipzig and Berlin, has claimed responsibility for dozens of assaults. These include a hammer attack on a conservative gathering in Saxony and arson at a Bavarian police training center. The International Revolutionary Front, active in Milan and Turin, has circulated manuals on making homemade explosives and has staged ambushes against marches of trade-unions it deems “reformist.” In Greece, two of the organizations designated as FTOs by the State Department operate in tandem: Armed Proletarian Justice claimed responsibility for planting a bomb near the riot police headquarters in Goudi, Greece on December 18, 2023; Revolutionary Class Self-Defense claimed responsibility for two IED attacks targeting the Greece Ministry of Labor (February 3, 2024) and the Hellenic Train offices (April 11, 2025).

These acts were not spontaneous riots but the expression of an explicit doctrine: “strike the class enemy wherever he is found,” a mantra repeated in communiqués posted on encrypted platforms, sometimes relayed by a press that romanticizes violence — provided it is “left-wing.” The phrase “strike the class enemy wherever he is found” appears to echo Marxist-Leninist rhetoric, often used in revolutionary contexts to justify direct action against perceived capitalist or fascist oppressors. While direct, verbatim uses by self-identified Antifa groups are rare in public records (due to their decentralized and sometimes encrypted nature), it has been documented in analyses of their internal doctrines. Below are key examples in the US:

“The border is everywhere. We can attack it anywhere.” (2019). This quote comes from Willem van Spronsen, a self-described Antifa activist who firebombed an ICE detention center in Tacoma, Washington, on July 13, 2019, in an attack that wounded four officers. The full document, titled “I Am Antifa,” calls for armed resistance against “fascist” institutions such as ICE, and frames borders as a capitalist tool of oppression. It was widely circulated in Portland Antifa circles as inspirational propaganda and aligns with calls to strike “enemies” (such as the capital or the state) at any area of vulnerability.

Video from a 2018 Antifa rally, shared on X, where Antifa militants chanted “Anytime, Anyplace, Punch a NAZI In The Face”while carrying signs such as “It Takes Bullet to Bash Fash.” This promotes on-sight violence against perceived class/racial enemies, disavowed by some Democrats but unchallenged broadly.

“On Sight” Retaliation Calls (2020 Portland Homicide Response). After the killing of Patriot Prayer member Aaron Danielson, Antifa Telegram channels, evidently assuming the victim was an ally of the enemy, called for immediate murderous payback against “fash” (fascists). This recommendation, in practice, reflects “strike wherever found“.

“Do Crime” and Economic Disruption Mottos. Antifa’s self-admitted slogan “Do crime” (see Andy Ngo’s 2021 book, Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy) aims to foster chaos for revolution, including strikes at the “heart” of our cities by general disruptions.

The iconography is always the same: black hoods, hammers, Molotov cocktails, anarcho-communist symbols. The image attached to the State Department communiqué — a masked individual holding an iron bar beating a passer-by lying on the ground — is not staged. It corresponds to footage authenticated by Europol and Germany’s Bundeskriminalamt.

A Legal Response, Not an Ideological One

The terrorist designation by the US federal government, which is not a slogan, derives from Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. § 1189) and from Executive Order 13224 (2001, Bush). Any foreign organization that threatens the security of US nationals or US national security must be placed on the FTO list and have its assets seized.

The criteria are explicit: systematic use of violence, transnational scope and political intent. Antifa meets all three. It is a transnational terrorist organization whose existence much of the mainstream media stubbornly refuse to acknowledge.

Some argue that these groups are “anti-fascist,” as though that alone constituted a legal justification for an onslaught. If you want to beat your dog, you might claim it has rabies. Ironically, these groups behave just like the fascists. Historical anti-fascism — the armed resistance to Nazism — bears no resemblance to today’s left, which in 2025 targets moderate democratic politicians, liberal journalists and business owners accused of “capitalist complicity,” while extending sympathy to Islamist terrorism in the name of “convergence of struggle” (see Douglas Murray, The Strange Death of Europe, 2017.) The State Department leaves no room for ambiguity: “Left-wing terrorism does not enjoy ideological immunity.” Why is there not the same moral clarity in Western Europe?

Transatlantic Implications

The shockwave extends far beyond the United States. Antifa is now a legitimate target for every instrument of the rule of law.

The European Union, under pressure from Hungary and Poland, is considering harmonizing its own terrorist list. Financial flows. such as donations via cryptocurrencies, are being tracked by the US Treasury and Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service. German universities where certain Antifa Ost factions openly recruited students have received federal orders to cooperate.

Freedom to Kill, Provided You Are on the Left?

Criticism of capitalism, peaceful protest and the revival of communist fantasies of equal inequality are not what is at issue here. In the United States, the First Amendment stops where material incitement to violence begins — the 1969 Brandenburg v. Ohio precedent. What the State Department’s decision underscores is that murder and hammer attacks are not acceptable free speech, even when committed by “left-wing” militants.

End of Impunity: Antifa, Public Enemy No. 1

The American decision — neither an ideological crusade nor a publicity stunt — is a proportionate response to proven crimes. The four designated groups are not “radical activists”: they are terrorists who kill, maim and destroy in the name of an outdated totalitarian utopia — or even a not-outdated one — that aligns itself with Islamic jihadists declaring that they would like to take over the planet (such as here and here). Liberal democracies have a duty to defend themselves — without complacency, without naïveté, and with the full rigor of the law.

Can we in Europe expect Antifa members to be intercepted in the same manner as drug-trafficking vessels in the Caribbean?

Salvini Calls Out EU Warmongers: Brussels, Germany, and France Trying to Sabotage Trump’s Ukraine Peace Effort

Matteo Salvini/Image: Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license./Author: Kasa Fue

Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini is openly accusing the power centers of Europe—especially Paris and Berlin—of trying to derail President Trump’s effort to stop the bloodshed in Ukraine.

According to Salvini, the entrenched globalist political classes in France and Germany are not interested in ending the conflict. Instead, they’re more interested in weapons contracts, political posturing, and maintaining their fading control over the Old Continent.

Salvini, who formerly served as Italy’s interior minister, argued that while Washington under Donald Trump is finally moving to close the chapter on this devastating war, Europe’s leaders are frantically moving to block the progress.

Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, is heading to Moscow to meet Vladimir Putin—perhaps, one of the strongest signals yet that negotiations may be entering a decisive stage.

But instead of supporting diplomatic attempts to end the nearly four-year long, inter-Slavic conflict that has seen well over a million Russian and Ukrainians killed, Western Europe’s left-liberal elite is trying to rewrite Trump’s peace framework to suit their own geopolitical ambitions.

Salvini, never one to hold back, dismissed these efforts outright, saying that if Ukraine and Russia are willing to talk, it is not the role of Brussels, Paris, or Berlin to sabotage the process.

He compared the situation to the early days of the Israel–Hamas conflict, when Trump’s ceasefire ideas were mocked and derided—until they worked.

The Italian deputy prime minister said European officials are acting out of panic because Trump is bypassing them, revealing how irrelevant EU institutions have become in matters of war and peace, and anything of geopolitical concern.

Meanwhile, Italy’s establishment figures, like Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani of the center-right Forza Italia party, are sticking to Brussels’ official line, insisting that “no deal is possible without Europe,” even though Western European leaders have continually failed to deliver peace or stability.

Per usual, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, unfortunately still tied to globalist EU diplomatic norms, has been more cautious, while Salvini is positioning himself firmly behind Trump’s push for a negotiated settlement.

According to leaks, Trump’s 28-point plan is being portrayed by EU officials as a “capitulation,” even though it is the first formula both Kyiv and Moscow have signaled openness to discussing.

Salvini blasted the hysteria coming from the EU’s top leaders, saying it’s absurd that distant EU bureaucrats feel entitled to veto a peace plan accepted by the nations actually fighting the war.

Left-wing parties and EU loyalists immediately attacked Salvini, warning Italy not to stray from Brussels’ rigid war consensus, signalling again how deeply Europe’s ‘liberal’ establishment fears Trump and MAGA’s return to influence.

Salvini also used the moment to reiterate his long-standing position against funneling more weapons into the conflict, arguing that a real peace plan makes further arms shipments unnecessary.

Deport All Afghans: They’re not vetted. And they’re not refugees. They’re here to kill us

Illustration AI generator

The killing of two National Guardsmen by an Afghan Muslim ‘refugee’ is only the latest act of Afghan refugee violence.

Biden’s decision to import huge numbers of unvetted Afghans has created a ticking time bomb. The only way to defuse it is to deport them.

In the years since Biden’s mass importation of Afghans, every possible effort has been made to try and legalize them. But one day those efforts will succeed unless they are removed from this country.

We’ve been lied to over the years about Afghans.

We’ve been told that they’re all interpreters. It’s a lie.

The Special Immigrant Visa scam has been sold for over a decade using the same claim that it’s needed to save the lives of Iraqi and Afghan interpreters who are risking death by helping American soldiers. In one decade, the United States has handed out 75,250 of these visas to Iraqi and Afghan employees, and their dependents. Between 2007 and 2017, they represented 1 percent of all immigrant visas.

We’ve been told that the Afghans were vetted. That was another lie.

We’ve been told that they pose no risk of violence. But, as I posted earlier tonight, this is just the latest in a series of Afghan acts of violence including the recent Afghan Election Day terror plot.

So far this year, Afghan refugees have stabbed caseworkers in Michigan and Texas, and stabbed each other outside the Islamic Community Center of Lancaster in Amish Country.

Now the latest act of Afghan refugee violence took place in Virginia when Jamal Wali, an Afghan, drew his gun and a cop had to shoot him in self-defense during a traffic stop.

Abdullah Haji Zada, 19, a citizen of Afghanistan and lawful permanent resident who was living in Moore, Oklahoma, was sentenced for knowingly receiving and conspiring to receive a firearm and ammunition to be used in a terrorist attack, court records show.

Zada’s co-defendant, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, who previously worked as a security guard for an American military installation in Afghanistan, pleaded guilty to conspiring and attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State group. He faces up to 35 years in prison.

Deport them all. Deport them now.

Everything we’ve been told is a lie. They’re not vetted. And they’re not refugees. They’re here to kill us.

France: Green party lesbian withdraws municipal candidacy due to local population’s inability to accept homosexuals

Sabrina Decanton Instagram account

Sabrina Decanton, municipal councillor for the Ecologistes (Green party) in Saint-Ouen, France, has announced she will be withdrawing from the municipal election scheduled for March 2026. 

Among her reasons listed are the homophobic comments within her own local Ecologistes group, specifically saying that she was a “target of homophobia,” according to the text of her announcement posted on X by Fdesouche.

“My sexual orientation is mentioned as an obstacle to my candidacy and a possible victory, some believing it would be incompatible with the support of working-class neighborhoods – a position I consider stigmatizing and discriminatory,” Decanton wrote.

Of note here is that her party is presumably caving to pressure from the local population of Saint-Ouen, known to be home to many African and Middle Eastern migrants, which the French refer to as “working-class.”

In other words, minority residents, especially known to be largely Muslim migrants, will not accept a lesbian as a candidate. 

Decanton also mentions facing pressure to sign an illegal and unethical document, were she to be elected, that would have relegated municipal decisions to a  “restricted and secret group.”

One commenter on X noted that such agreements are known to be ”relatively common” in immigrant-heavy cities, although he had never heard of them being put in writing. 

Just outside of Paris, in its northern suburbs, Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine has a population of some 47,000, 40 percent of which were foreigners, according to 2023 estimates by INSEE. 

Seine-Saint-Denis, the department to which Saint-Ouen belongs, was home to 7.8 percent of immigrants from metropolitan Paris, according to figures from the Ministry of the Interior in 2021.

“I deeply believe that another way of doing politics is possible, but I refuse to compromise my values and my integrity,” Decanton added to her announcement.

In a recent Instagram post, she appears to congratulate Zohran Mamdani on becoming mayor of New York City, calling him “a multicultural mayor for the global city New York.”

Washington: Suspect in Shooting Ambush of National Guard Members IDENTIFIED as Afghan National Rahmanullah Lakanwal – ILLEGAL ALIEN who Entered US in 2021 Under Biden

At 7:10 pm ET, CBS News confirmed with sources that the suspect is 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who entered the country under Biden in 2021.

Per CBS:

Multiple law enforcement officials tell CBS News the suspect in the shooting of the two National Guard members is 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who entered the U.S. in 2021.

At 7:26 pm ET, Fox’s Bill Melugin revealed that his permission the be in the US expired in September 2025, and he has been living in the United States illegally ever since. The alien entered under Biden’s “Operation Allies Welcome” program following the botched 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal.

Newly released details on the suspect in today’s Washington, DC, ambush against two National Guardsmen indicate a potential terrorist attack, and now the suspect’s nationality has been reported. 

Initial reporting indicates the suspect is believed to be an Afghan national who used a handgun to execute the heinous attack.

Per NBC’s Tom Winter:

Two senior U.S. law enforcement officials say that the man they believe is the suspect in today’s National Guard shooting, used a handgun in the attack and has been initially identified as an Afghan national.

Earlier, Winters reported that the FBI will “initially investigate the shooting of two members of the National Guard in D.C. as a possible act of terrorism.”

The Gateway Pundit reported that the two members of the West Virginia National Guard, who were shot, were rumored to be killed. However, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey now said there are conflicting reports about the condition of the two guard members.

West Virginia “will provide additional updates once we receive more complete information,” Morrisey said.

More via CNN:

Officers could be seen tending to and performing CPR on the victims shortly after the shooting.

WATCH:

As The Gateway Pundit reported, at least two National Guard members were shot near the White House on Wednesday, causing the White House to come under lockdown.

Vice President JD Vance responded to the news while delivering remarks to troops at Fort Campbell in Kentucky.

He called for those in attendance at his speech to  “say a prayer for those two National Guardsmen that they’re able to spend Thanksgiving with their families, instead of losing their lives, because I understand they’re still in pretty tough condition.”

President Trump also responded, noting that the suspect is also “severely wounded,” along with the military members he shot.

The “animal,” he said, “will pay a very steep price.”

By Olivia Murray

This is great news: the popularity of veganism and vegetarianism is on a steep decline in the Netherlands, with more people who chose to abstain from meat or animal products now willing to consume it.

From an item at Remix News:

The data shows that completely abandoning meat is on the decline among the Dutch. In 2021, 2 percent of the population claimed to be vegetarian, which meant consuming no meat or fish, but dairy and eggs. That segment grew to 5 percent in 2023, but has now dropped back to 3 percent. That is nearly a 50 percent drop in those practicing such a diet in just two years.

For vegans, who consume no animal products at all, the percentage of Dutch practicing this diet went from 0.6 percent of the population in 2021 to 2 percent in 2023, and has now fallen all the way to 0.5 percent in 2025.

In just two years, the popularity of veganism has fallen 75 percent in the Netherlands.

This is a boon, for many reasons, and I’ll tell you why: animal products (and protein) are so superior to plant products (and protein) that there is truly no comparison.

First off, plants do not provide amino acids like carnitine, creatine, and taurine, and while they’re not labeled as “essential” by the mainstream medical/scientific community, I’d beg to differ. When talking about beef, the meat offers a full profile of amino acids, and is a significant source of the absolutely essential B12 vitamin, meaning no supplementation required; on the other hand, vegans (and many vegetarians) must routinely consume B12 supplements or B12-fortified foods.

Secondly, animal protein is superior because of its inarguable absorbability: plant products contain “antinutrients” and other components that comprise a plant’s natural defenses. If you’re not familiar with oxalates—shoutout to Jeannie DeAngelis for educating me on this—it might benefit you to do so. Like animals, survival is imprinted into the genetic composition of plants; under a microscope, these oxalates look like miniature knives, or razor blades, and in a human’s digestive system, they act as such. Oxalates in animal products are either zero, or very low. From the perspective of many functional medicine doctors or holistic practitioners, inflammation, chronic pain, and autoimmune disorders often largely stem from oxalate damage. When your gut lining is shredded, it makes it permeable and porous, allowing things meant to be in the digestive tract to make it into the rest of your system, triggering an immune response.

Now, some may point out that humans have been eating plants for thousands of years, oxalates included, without the debilitating health problems many people, particularly Americans, now have. However, the burden of environmental toxins in a modern world and a totally corrupted food system in the U.S. means you can’t even compare the two. Did the people of 1850 consume industrial waste vegetable oil in every meal, or did they use butter, lard, and tallow? Did the people of antiquity deal with microplastics and synthetic hormones poisoning the water supply? Were toxic chemicals like glyphosate saturating the food supply a hundred years ago?

But there are bigger implications: What does a healthier (meat-eating) population mean for a restoration of the West? There’s been a very organized and intentional campaign to destroy our health, but especially our hormones. We’re overmedicated, fat, and depressed, and that’s by design. When men eat more meat, especially beef, it means higher testosterone. How many headlines have we seen about the correlation between higher meat consumption and more politically conservative views? Do the ruling elites want our men to be stronger and manlier? I don’t think so. (Consider that our ancestral European relatives ate diets that were largely animal-based, with lots of raw milk, and they were physically beautiful people with high IQs, no autoimmune issues, and no gluten issues. Related? I’d say so.) Of course though, mainstream (pharmaceutical) medicine says that meat-heavy diets are to blame for cardiovascular issues—but I’d like to see how many of those issues are prevalent in people who eat tons of meat without also consuming toxic fats (vegetable, canola, and soybean oil).

Now, I suspect that this rejection of the NWO/WHO “plant-based diet” agenda is notably seen in the Dutch because they in particular have faced a unique onslaught of attacks against their dairy and cattle farms, not really seen anywhere else in the West at the same level.

The ruling elite’s house of “health” cards is collapsing, and I am totally here for it.

Chilean Government Faces Scrutiny for Backing “Trans” Children’s Book Linked to LGBTQ Group Whose Leader Defended a Convicted Child Rapist

Rolando Jiménez

The Chilean government is facing growing scrutiny after sponsoring and approving the distribution of a new LGBTQIA+ children’s book in public schools, despite longstanding pedophile-related controversies surrounding the organization behind it. The book, Ariel es una niña (Ariel Is a Girl), produced by the Movimiento de Integración y Liberación Homosexual (MOVILH), is being promoted as the country’s first story aimed at introducing “trans childhoods” to young readers.

The story follows a young male character named Ariel as he introduces his new “female” identity to his friends and family. According to Radio Nuevo Mundo, the book is intended to “open pathways of understanding and accompaniment of trans childhoods.”

The book is slated for an initial release of 5,000 copies, which will be distributed across kindergartens and libraries throughout Chile. It carries official sponsorships from the Sub-secretariat of Childhood, the Defensoría de la Niñez, the Pedagogy in Early Childhood Education program of the University of Chile, the Faculty of Psychology of the Universidad Diego Portales (and its Project T on trans childhoods), and the Gender & Diversity Unit of the Liceo Experimental Manuel de Salas.

However, Chilean child-safeguarding advocates are raising concerns not only about the book’s content but also about the organization behind it. MOVILH has been embroiled in years of controversy, particularly regarding allegations of its leadership’s support for and sympathies toward pedophiles.

MOVILH is one of Chile’s leading LGBT activist organizations and has received more than 279 million pesos in government funding since 2001. The group has also received support from the European Union as well as countries such as Norway, the Netherlands, and Spain.

According to its website, MOVILH was founded in June 1991, and the following year was admitted into the International Lesbian, Gay, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA), which has worked with the United Nations (UN) to advocate for changes to laws and policies since 1993.

The group’s official website vaguely states that during the 1990s, “MOVILH suffered from external divisions,” but it does not mention that these “external divisions” stemmed from founding member Rolando Jiménez expressing support for activist organizations that defended pedophilic relationships between adults and children.

In September 1994, ILGA’s consultative status within the United Nations Economic and Social Council (UNECOSOC) was revoked due to its ties to several multinational pro-pedophile lobby groups, including the U.S.-based North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), the Dutch group Vereniging MARTIJN, and the Berlin-based Bundesverband Homosexualität (BVH), which condoned the sexual abuse of minors. Seeking to restore credibility within the UN, ILGA member groups voted—with an 88% majority—to expel the pedophile activist networks.

Under Jiménez’s leadership, however, MOVILH was among the few organizations that opposed the proposal and voted against removing the pedophile groups from ILGA. Jiménez was ultimately expelled from MOVILH in 1994 after voting in favor of maintaining ILGA’s affiliation with the pro-pedophile political groups, but he subsequently took control of the organization’s intellectual property and continued on with his leadership.

MOVILH also offered support to a trans activist who was exposed as a perpetrator of child rape.

María López Barrera, formerly known as Rodrigo Alejandro López Barrera, raped a 14-year-old boy and infected him with HIV before hiding his criminal past by identifying as transgender and changing his name. López Barrera has been active in Chile’s LGBT scene for decades, and began campaigning for “transvestite rights” under his birth name in the early 2000s after he was made the president of the Aconcagua chapter of TravesChile.

Jimènez promoted López Barrera repeatedly over the years, including offering tributes to him on X calling him a “great woman and trans activist.”

Even after the revelations became widespread and news of López Barrera’s pedophilic past made headlines in Chile, Jiménez continued to defend him, accusing his critics of being “far-right” and “rabid.” He also referred to the convicted child rapist as a “valuable trans leader.”

Ariel es una niña has already been denounced by some Chilean politicians concerned about its impact and source.

Speaking to Araucanía Diario, Senator-elect Vanessa Kaiser said: “Parents don’t want their children to be indoctrinated by gender ideology. Parents want the children to be left alone. We don’t want LGBT activists in kindergartens.”

The president of the Christian Social Party, Congresswoman Sara Concha, sent a letter to the Comptroller General of the Republic denouncing the government’s decision to offer sponsorship to the book.

Concha called it “unacceptable,” noting that the Chilean state was struggling financially and yet money was still being allocated to “ideology promotion.”

Diego Schalper, a member of the Chamber of Deputies, released a video statement on X addressing the book and calling for an “end to the ideological indoctrination of minors and classrooms.”

Several other politicians offered their condemnation of the book, and, on Friday, MOVILH formally responded and called the criticism “transphobic hate speech.” The organization also claimed that the political condemnation had prompted a wave of “hate mail” to be directed to their offices.

“The so-called concept of ‘gender ideology’ is a construct invented by homophobic and transphobic sectors to attack the rights of LGBTIQ+ people through misinformation, alarmism and speeches that harm children, adolescents and their families,” MOVILH wrote.

Transgender politician Emilia Schneider similarly slammed critics of the book, taking to X to rally support around MOVILH.

“Once again, the right-wing wants to censor books before their release, without having read them, and this time just for highlighting that TRANS YOUTH EXIST,” Schneider wrote. “They already did it with “Nicolás Has Two Dads” in 2014, and today the new adoption law recognises the diverse families that have always existed. Now they’re criticizing ‘Ariel Is a Girl,’ invoking the NON-BINDING report of the Investigative Commission in which they spread lies about hormone therapies, even though the story doesn’t even address that topic. It’s unbelievable, this insistence on disinformation to cover up discrimination and hatred: have a bit of pity for those families who support their daughters/sons through their transition process, and who are tired of dealing with this constant harassment from the political use they want to make of sensitive realities that we should protect as a society instead of stigmatizing. My greetings to MOVILH for this great initiative.”

Despite activists defending the book, pushback against its distribution continues to mount.

Agrupación Kairós, a Chilean organization for the critical parents of children who were transitioned, noted that the book may encourage kids to initiate medical procedures with permanent consequences.

“No, Ariel isn’t a girl. Ariel is a boy who likes things ‘for girls’ and there’s nothing wrong with that,” the group wrote on X. “A direct distribution of 5,000 copies [of the book] will be made in nurseries and schools across Chile, promoting social transition at pre-school level (ages 3–6), which is particularly concerning, as children affirmed in their felt gender identity at such an early age have few opportunities to explore their identity naturally, at their own pace and respecting their developmental stages, pigeonholing them into a social and identity role prematurely. Many of these children will later undergo hormone treatments, which in Chile begin at age 9, followed by surgeries that are also performed on those under 18.”

MOVILH has attempted to defend the book on social media, but has been met with overwhelming backlash from concerned parents.

London Police Arrest Farmers Protesting Labour Gov’t Death Tax Raid

Screen grab youtube

British farmers were seen being arrested as thousands descended on Westminster on Wednesday morning to protest the leftist Labour Party government’s inheritance tax raids.

Tractors rolled into central London on Wednesday morning as farmers continue to rail against plans from Chancellor Rachel Reeves to impose a 20 per cent inheritance tax on agricultural land valued at over £1 million starting in April.

The move has sparked widespread concern among farmers, who often operate on very thin margins and are typically cash poor, who fear that they would be forced to sell land to pay the tax when their parents die.

Despite consistently staging peaceful protests, the Metropolitan Police announced a last minute ban on Wednesday’s demonstration, citing concerns of disruption to emergency services and local businesses.

The organiser of the protest, Dan Willis, of the Berkshire Farmers Group, told The Telegraph: “The Met decided to pull it at the very last moment. But there was no way to stop these guys; once they were told not to come, the anger was palpable.”

A beef farmer from Newbury commented: ” “Rachel Reeves’s Budget last year was devastating. It actively stopped any progression, any growth, any future development. Any of that was stopped in its tracks.

“At the moment, if we make any investment. Let’s say we put up a new calf shed. As soon as my mother passes away, who owns the farm, I’m going to be taxed on that.”

Footage shared on social media showed farmers being handcuffed and arrested by police. The force has yet to confirm how many arrests were made.

However, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage announced that his party would pay the legal costs for any farmer that was arrested while peacefully protesting.

“The farmers’ planned protest on Whitehall has been cancelled by the police at the last moment. They have come to London and are now being arrested. This is outrageous,” Farage said.

“Reform UK will provide full legal support to every farmer protesting peacefully today.”

Conservative Party Shadow Environment Secretary, Victoria Atkins added: “Our farmers have been let down not just by this city-dwelling Labour Government, but also by the Met police.

“Farmers are not in the habit of protesting. They had been forced to come to Whitehall today to make their voices heard about the devastating impact of the family farm and family business taxes because Rachel Reeves was not listening.”

Polish court convicts protester for ‘insulting’ PM Tusk’s office

Donald Tusk at an election rally in 2023 with demonstrators banners making rude allussions to the then ruling Conservatives (PiS) in the background. But recently a anti-Tusk demonstrator has been prosecuted and convicted for mocking Poland’s PM. Screen grab youtube

A man has been convicted in a Polish court of insulting the office of Prime Minister, held by Donald Tusk.

Krzysztof Jurgowian was found guilty of shouting obscenities about the head of government, despite it being claimed he merely mocked the PM. 

He said he shouted a slogan that in English translates as: “We’re not afraid of Tusk” (Nie bać Tuska). Police nearby said they heard the man actually shout: “F*ck Tusk”  (jebać Tuska). On the basis of their evidence he was convicted of insulting a public official.

During the previous Conservative (PiS) administration, anti-government demonstrators regularly chanted “f*ck PiS” (Jebać PiS).

Now, under Tusk’s rule,  pro-PiS protesters sometimes chant: “We’re not afraid of Tusk, which in Polish rhymes with “Jebać Tuska”. That was a mocking reply to the chants directed at PiS.  

The Wrocław city court in its ruling on November 21 accepted the testimony of police officers who had also accused Jurgowian of assault. 

Their version of events was not confirmed by either video footage of the incident or statements given by other officers.

The incident took place during floods that hit southwestern Poland in September 2024. 

Jurgowian protested at the fact that Tusk’s office had barred journalists from independent broadcaster TV Republika from attending briefings of the crisis management team.

Jurgowian told the broadcaster the reasons for his protest. 

“This is the TV channel from which I get information. I wanted to say to the Prime Minister, ‘Donald, you coward, let the media in’ but before I could call him out the police came after me.”

The available footage of the incident shows a group of officers approaching Jurgowian and seizing him by force as the PM’s car was passing by. 

As he is being apprehended by police he shouted, “Nie bać Tuska” (“We’re not afraid of  Tusk”).

In court, some officers said they were unable to clearly state what had been shouted while others claimed that Jurgowian shouted vulgarities at the PM and had refused to comply with police commands. 

According to Jurgowian’s attorney, the written statements of six policemen who claimed they had heard offensive language from him were identical, word for word, including grammar mistakes. 

The court accepted them and concluded that Jurgowian had insulted a constitutional body and sentenced him to six months community service.

There have been a number of judgments over the past few years in which anti-PiS demonstrators were ruled to have been innocent of assaults against the police, damaging public property and defaming Polish soldiers and border guards. 

Waldemar Żurek, Tusk’s justice minister, on November 24 met a number of “pro-democracy” activists who had campaigned against the PiS government between 2015-2023, some of whom had been convicted of assaults on police officers.

France: A mother is between life and death after an African migrant stabs her multiple times in the chest and face in La Rochelle

A mother suffered serious stab wounds in an attack by an African migrant on Nov. 20 in the Mireuil district of La Rochelle, at rue Ernest-Meissonnier.

At 4:30 p.m., an altercation broke out between neighbors. The migrant, who comes from the Ivory Coast, reportedly has a history of psychiatric disorders.

The 43-year-old suspect attacked the 33-year-old victim with a bladed weapon, according to police, stabbing her multiple times in the chest and face.

After being transported to Poitiers Hospital, she was listed in critical condition and her life was in “serious jeopardy” according to French news outlet Inf-Info.

Police arrested the suspect at 9:00 p.m., and a case for attempted murder was opened. He has no criminal record on his file.

Women’s safety in France has been a major topic, with the French right saying that violence from foreigners represents a major threat.

Earlier this month, French MEP Marion Maréchal wrote: “83% of victims of sexual violence in Île-de-France transport are French, while 61% of those accused of these acts are foreign. The problem is not men, the problem is mass immigration.”

In addition, Astrid Mae, a spokeswoman for the French feminist group Collectif Némésis, said the left’s suggestion that women-only train cars should be implemented is nothing more than a “band-aid” for a social wound.

“There is a problem of massive, uncontrolled immigration. We know that today, 62 percent of sexual assaults on public transport in the Ile-de-France region are committed by foreigners,” she said.
