Remember last year when snow was going away?
The End of Snow – New York Times
That was last year.
Not 1. Not 2. Not 3. Not 4. 5 winter storms could deliver more snow than the last two winters combined – CNN
I’ve been tracking ‘End of Snow’ predictions for quite a while now. Especially at the Times.
Last year, the New York Times predicted the end of snow. This week, its employees had trouble getting to work because of a travel ban caused by the blizzard.
A week after warning of the end of snow, the New York Times was instead forced to report on “downed power lines, stranded travelers, abandoned vehicles and yet another mess of snow, slush and ice.”
This really has been around for a while.
The snow deniers have been around for a while. Fifteen years ago (2000), Dr. David Viner, a senior research scientist at the University of East Anglia, the hub of Warmism, said that within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”. “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.
But every time the false prophets of warmunism predict a future of global warming, they are swiftly mocked.
“This Warm Winter, Austinites Can Look Out Their Windows And See Climate Change,” a headline from Austin’s NPR station read last February.
“Experts say, people should get used to such sights,” the article suggested. It might be a little harder to see those sights from the record-setting snowstorm that just buried Austin.
“A Warmer Austin: The Future is Here,” a high-profile story from the Austin-American Statesman declared last February. A Sierra Club organizer pushing green energy warned that “warmer winters” would have a “disproportionate effect” on “low-income people of color.”
Now, “low-income people of color” are dying of carbon monoxide poisoning because of a green energy grid with windmills that don’t turn, solar panels that don’t work under snow, and battery power which holds its charge in freezing temperatures about as well as your phone does.
Defying expectations and experts, Austin recorded its lowest temperature in 33 years and its deepest snowfall in 55 years.
Here’s 2022.
Vail, Colorado concluded its skiing season on May 1 a year after the Denver Post warned that “climate change is shrinking the Colorado ski season”.
It’s almost as if some higher power has made a point of mocking doomsday predictions by climate pagans who think the weather can be changed by raising taxes and driving Teslas.
A week after Vail Mountain announced that it was extending its skiing season for “the longest continuous season in Vail Mountain history” just after 9 inches of snow fell in early March, a local news station wondered, “With warmer winters, what will happen to the ski industry?”
It may have to extend to June.
In February 2022, Denver broke weather records to hit the coldest temperature in 109 years. At a balmy -7 degrees, the latest outbreak of global warming plunged the city down to a low that had not been seen since 1899.
2023.
Two years after the Los Angeles Times predicted the end of snow in California, I stood outside in a hailstorm as my daughter giggled and tasted the little pieces of ice falling on her pink jacket.
We were not up north, but in Los Angeles where colorful trumpet vines drape across walls all through the winter and jackets normally might as well be fossils. But on Friday, snow had fallen on the Hollywood sign and dusted homes in the Hollywood Hills.
“A ‘no snow’ California could come sooner than you think,” the Los Angeles Times warned in 2021. That fall, it reported that, “Tahoe ski resort opens early after massive snowstorm.”
2025.

The European Commission recently introduced the so-called Democracy Shield, an initiative allegedly created to protect democratic processes within the European Union from foreign interference and disinformation. However, behind this seemingly noble objective lie profound implications for national sovereignty, freedom of expression, and European political balance.
Dr. Adina Portaru, Senior Counsel, Europe, for legal advocacy organization ADF International, warns: “The European Democracy Shield (EDS) goes far beyond the stated aim of protecting democracy from interference by malign foreign states. We have grave legal concerns that this could result in censoring legitimate but disfavoured views online.”
The initiative establishes monitoring tools, content regulation on social media, and mechanisms to punish those who spread “disinformation”—without clarifying who defines what is or isn’t truthful information. This centralized control over information threatens ideological plurality and media outlets that question Brussels’ policies.
Portaru continues: “The EDS claims it aims to tackle ‘disinformation’ and ‘foreign interference’ to ‘protect democracy’. But it also says it will address ‘home-grown hybrid threats’ and ‘malign interference’. These are vague and subjective terms which can be defined by those in power to target views they disagree with. Attempts to limit free speech through initiatives like this and the Digital Services Act will not protect democracy but destroy it.”
This mechanism adds to other measures already implemented by the EU, such as the Digital Services Act (DSA), which grants Brussels the power to pressure significant tech platforms to remove “harmful” content. With the Democracy Shield, this trend will intensify, particularly affecting journalists, intellectuals, and citizens who expose the shortcomings of the European project.
Dr. Portaru also highlights the contrasting attitudes toward freedom of speech on both sides of the Atlantic and the potential consequences that may follow:
The EDS is also evidence of an emerging gulf between the EU and the US regarding free speech which could lead to tensions in the future if the EU continues on this path. As MEP Fernand Kartheiser pointed out last week: ‘For the sake of truly preserving European democracy and also good relations with America, all attempts to impose censorship in Europe… must end.
While there is an insistence on the need to combat disinformation, the EU remains silent about the media manipulation driven by its institutions and major media groups aligned with its ideological stance. It seeks to combat alleged foreign interference, but what about Brussels’ interference in the internal affairs of member states?

Poland’s President Andrzej Duda, an ally of the opposition Conservatives (PiS), has said he was concerned that European Union institutions may interfere in the country’s May election.
He said that was because Brussels “does not like Conservatives ruling in Poland”, adding that he feared the current centre-left government led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk might overrule the result of the election should the PiS win.
On February 5 during an interview with internet channel Kanał Zero, Duda claimed Brussels interfered in Romania’s recent presidential election. The results were annulled after a right-wing candidate unexpectedly won the first round.
Duda also claimed it had previously involved itself in Polish politics when the previous PiS government was in power.
The President said events in Romania “have worried me a lot and I have many doubts” about them and claimed that “prominent members of the European Commission have admitted they interfered in the Romanian case”.
He may have been referring to the remarks made by ex-commissioner Thierry Breton, who had said in a media interview that the cancellation of the Romania ballot was done with involvement of Brussels.
In December 2024, Romania’s Constitutional Court annulled the first round of the election the previous month that had been unexpectedly won by Călin Georgescu.
The court claimed it did so based on evidence of Russian interference.
Duda asked whether “today’s elections in individual countries can only be won by those accepted in Brussels?” adding: “I have this impression and I don’t like it very much.”
The President argued that the European Commission had form in interfering in Polish elections, too. He cited the fact that the body blocked EU pandemic funding for the former PiS government and unblocked them immediately on the election of the centre-left government led by Tusk in 2023.
Duda called the actions of the commission with regard to Poland “political manipulation”, involving “blocking funds because the government was not liked by the EC”. He said that was because of its different approach to many issues such as environmental protection, migration and the rule of law.
Poland’s head of state also said he feared interference of the Romanian variety should the Polish result go against the present government’s main candidate, Warsaw mayor Rafał Trzaskowski.
He claimed he feared the way the government was refusing to recognise the Supervisory Chamber of the Supreme Court, charged with certifying the election result, could be the precursor of a decision by parliament to refuse to recognise the outcome on the grounds that no “appropriate” judicial body had certified the poll.
The first round of the Polish presidential election is due to take place on May 18, with the second round set for June 1.
Duda’s second and final term as president expires in early August and parliament should take the oath of office from his elected successor on that day.

Muhannad Z. (50) preferred not to stand trial on the terror charges brought by the public prosecutor’s office in the Graz Regional Criminal Court. When the Higher Regional Court released him from custody, he took the opportunity to flee back to Syria, his country of origin, which he had left ten years ago – allegedly due to political persecution. At least he was granted asylum on this grounds in 2016. But now he seems to feel safer in Syria than in Austria.
Muhannad Z. is back on his Facebook page after a break of two and a half years. He has been eagerly posting videos since the end of January, for example from the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus.
In his most recent appearance on the 5th of February, he lets his followers know while sitting in a car: Insulting Allah must be criminalised at all costs, Syria needs a constitutional amendment. He had already spoken about this in a Russian-speaking mosque.
Because society is not guided by Sharia law and such laws are lacking, ‘Bilad al-Sham’ is doing so badly. Bilad al-Sham was the name of Syria when it was a province of the caliphate.
The suspected terrorist leader’s jihadist career began twelve years ago. According to the indictment, he fought from 2013 to 2014 as commander of the Lion Brigade in Al-Mayadin, a city in eastern Syria that became a retreat area for the Islamic State terrorist militia during the war. The Lion Brigade maintained close ties to the Islamic State, reports German Islam and terrorism expert Guido Steinberg. Muhannad later joined the terrorist organisation al-Nusra. For such radical Islamist fighters, the war in Syria is ‘part of a larger conflict that does not end with the fall of Assad’, says Steinberg.
However, Muhannad Z. is said to have never fought with a weapon, his defence lawyer in Graz later explained. ‘I can’t remember firing a weapon,’ the accused claimed evasively in court.
Muhannad arrived in Graz with the wave of refugees in 2015. As far as we know at present, he preached in two mosques here shortly afterwards, namely in the Syrian youth organisation and in a radical Chechen mosque. (Perhaps this was the Russian-speaking mosque he spoke about in his latest video?)
Muhannad Z. also set up an Islamic parallel justice system in his flat: He acted as a Sharia judge, dispensing Islamic law in disputes.
Since then, Muhannad’s stay in Austria has cost taxpayers dearly. The alleged terrorist was followed by his wife and seven children from Syria. It is estimated that the family of eight has since received around 250,000 euros in social benefits.
At the same time, he traded in halal chicken meat, i.e. ‘fresh meat – 100% slaughtered according to the Islamic method’, as stated on the company’s Facebook page. While 90 per cent of chickens in Europe are slaughtered ‘with electric shocks and machines’, the situation is completely different with Alhelal chickens, according to a Facebook post: the chickens are slaughtered ‘in accordance with Islam’, ‘with human labour and without electric shocks’.
A video is shown in which chickens that are still alive are beheaded. ‘The chickens are still alive. See how they move in the video,’ says a voice.
The authorities later get wind of Muhannad’s Islamist activities in Graz and Syria. However, the Graz Higher Regional Court remarkably released the suspect twice, which ultimately enabled him to escape.
Initially, the suspect’s pre-trial detention was lifted on the 11th of March 2023 ‘because the Higher Regional Court did not consider any grounds for detention to be fulfilled’, Stefan Koller from the Higher Regional Court of Graz told exxpress. The public prosecutor’s office discontinued the investigation for the time being. However, an anonymous and authoritative witness was mistakenly named in the decision of the Higher Regional Court, as reported by the newspaper Krone.
Charges of terrorist association and criminal organisation were finally brought last year. At the trial on the 11th December 2024, the witness finally appeared in court, intimidated. It turned out that he had been threatened with death by the defendant’s family in the meantime. ‘I don’t want to say anything, I’m being threatened,’ he said. Family members of Muhannad Z. had ‘visited’ him at home, a Facebook message was presented to the court: ‘You are playing with your blood and life,’ it said. It also states that Muhannad Z. would cut the witness in half.
The public prosecutor had had enough and requested the immediate arrest of the defendant on the grounds of risk of concealment. Three days later, however, the suspect was released from custody by the Higher Regional Court following an appeal by his defence lawyer.
The trial was due to continue on Thursday, but the suspect has since returned to Syria with his family, where he plans to open a pharmacy, according to his defence lawyer.
Stefan Koller from Graz Higher Regional Court reports on the release from custody in mid-December: ‘The reasons for this were the lack of an urgent suspicion regarding the offence of coercion according to Article 12, second case, 105 Para. 1 of the Criminal Code and the absence of a reason for detention based on the risk of concealment’.
The public prosecutor’s office has now applied for a European arrest warrant. Muhannad Z. can no longer move freely in Europe.

The trial of a 19-year-old Afghan asylum seeker who attacked a Ukrainian woman with a box cutter in broad daylight began this week in Frankfurt, with the attacker unlikely to face prison time due to mental health issues.
In June 2024, the woman, a 42-year-old Ukrainian refugee who had fled the war in March 2022, was enjoying her lunch break on a park bench near Frankfurt’s Ostbahnhof when the attacker suddenly assaulted her. The man, identified as Mohammad Zaman A., stabbed her multiple times in the head and neck before fleeing.
Passers-by, alerted by her screams, rushed to her aid, prompting the attacker to hide behind a tree nearby, where he was arrested by police about an hour later.
Remix News reported on the attack at the time.
As reported by FAZ, the victim and the attacker had never met, and there was no apparent motive — no robbery, argument, or prior interaction. Initially, investigators expressed concern the incident could have been linked to the terror attack in Mannheim 10 days earlier when a police officer was stabbed to death by an Afghan migrant, but later concluded that the assailant had acted due to mental illness.
Prosecutors allege that the attacker, now 20, suffers from schizophrenia, compounded by severe mood disorders, paranoia, and possible delusions. The man, originally housed in a refugee shelter about an hour’s drive away in Ladenburg, had a history of substance abuse, including hashish and ecstasy-like tablets, which he consumed regularly for six to seven years.
According to his defense, he was under the influence of these drugs at the time of the crime and had found the knife on the street a few days before the attack.
The Afghan national is charged with attempted murder and grievous bodily harm. However, because he was reportedly in a state of diminished responsibility during the assault, the proceedings are being handled differently and he is unlikely to serve any time in prison. Instead, he is likely to be permanently committed to a psychiatric institution. Prosecutors argue that he poses an ongoing danger to the public.
On the first day of the trial, the defendant fully confessed to the crime. Since November, he has been held in a forensic psychiatric unit where he receives compulsory medication, reportedly leading to some improvement in his mental state. He remembers attacking the woman but cannot explain why, claiming only that he was experiencing “terrible pain in his left knee” before the incident.
The victim, deeply traumatized, has since returned to Ukraine, feeling unsafe in Germany. Her legal representative stated that she remains on antidepressants and is unable to testify in person.
Instead, the court played a recording of her police interview, where she recounted sensing someone behind her and initially thinking it was a pickpocket. “He wanted to kill me,” she said.
The stabbing attack followed a wave of rapes and assaults directed against Ukrainian refugees, who, compared to other migrant groups from North Africa and the Middle East, have far lower crime rates.
Notably, a Ukrainian refugee teen basketball player was stabbed to death by a gang of Arabs “just for being Ukrainian” last year.
In 2022, a Jordanian migrant stabbed a 21-year-old Ukrainian refugee woman and then went on to calmly eat bratwurst and French fries after the attack.
British Health Secretary Wes Streeting has admitted that diversity ideology has led to “daft” measures at the National Health Service (NHS), including the proliferation of “anti-whiteness”.
Speaking before a Macmillan Cancer Support event, Health Secretary Streeting defended the concept of incorporating the diversity agenda into the UK’s socialised healthcare system, citing disparities in health outcomes for various groups, but cautioned that “well-meaning” attempts to correct inequalities could undermine the system itself.
The left-wing Labour politician said per The Telegraph: “Sometimes there are some really daft things being done in the name of equality, diversity and inclusion which undermine the cause.
“For example, there was one member of NHS staff who was merrily tweeting a job ad online and saying part of her practice was anti-whiteness.
“And I just thought ‘what the hell does that say to the bloke up in Wigan who’s more likely to die earlier than his more affluent white counterpart down in London?’ We’ve got real issues of inequality that affect working-class people… The ideological hobby horses need to go.”
“What’s been lost, I think, with some well-meaning but misguided approaches to equality, diversity, inclusion, the clue is in the name – it’s equality; it should be applicable to everyone.”
The Health Secretary was apparently referencing Dr Florencia Gysbertha, an East London NHS psychologist, who last year posted an advertisement for a trainee position, who she said would integrate “anti-whiteness/anti-racist praxis into supervision and approaches to clinical work.”
The East London NHS Foundation Trust said that the post was shared on Gysbertha’s personal social media account and did not “represent the views, values or recruitment practices of the trust and this matter was addressed internally.”
However, the NHS has long been accused of promoting anti-white racism. In 2021, for example, the infamous Tavistock and Portman National Health Service Foundation Trust, known internationally for having been the home of Britain’s leading child transgender clinic, published a seminar entitled “Whiteness – A problem for our time” in which NHS staff expressed sadness over the “burden of [their] whiteness”.
Last month, it was also reported that emergency room services at NHS trusts across the country have been prioritising asylum seekers over the native population, with even migrants who had their asylum claims rejected for being spurious being able to skip ahead of the queue in front of British citizens.
The socialised healthcare system has also faced criticism for lowering standards, such as critical thinking ability and English language proficiency standards, for foreign nursing applicants, particularly candidates from India and the Philippines, in order to fill shortages.
Last week, The Telegraph reported that the NHS had advertised 35 diversity jobs since the Labour Party came into power in July of 2024, with some positions offering salaries of over £80,000 ($111,000).
Despite criticising the woke excesses of the NHS, in his remarks at the Macmillan Cancer Support event, Health Secretary Streeting said that he could “get quite a lot of plaudits” for scrapping diversity schemes and likely “save loads of money” for the chronically cash-strapped health service in the process.
However, the leftist politician said that such programmes are necessary, citing black nurses “being bullied in the workplace” and black men being more likely to die of prostate cancer than their white counterparts as evidence of “real racial inequalities” that still need to be addressed.

What influence do parents have on their children’s friendships? A mother has been asking herself this question every day for several weeks. Because from one day to the next, nothing was the same in her seven-year-old son’s circle of friends – because of his religion.
At the beginning of December, the 36-year-old, who does not wish to be named in this article to protect her child, noticed abnormalities in her son’s behaviour. The boy was in second grade at Schopenhauer primary school in Dortmund (photo) and ‘suddenly became introverted and quickly became aggressive’, the mother recalls.
She kept talking to him, but her child didn’t confide in her. ‘But he suddenly started asking strange questions, for example, he wanted to know whether we were allowed to eat pork as Christians.’
A few days later, she was finally called by her son’s class teacher because the boy could hardly be calmed down in class. ‘I spoke to the class teacher about the possible cause of this incident and then approached my son again,’ says the 36-year-old.
She followed up several times and then her son told her: He told her that he was being ostracised by his friends at school. ‘My son is almost the only Christian in the class, the majority of the children are Muslim,’ says the mother. ‘That must have suddenly become problematic,’ she regrets.
Her son told her about comments such as ‘you’re not allowed to sit at this table, it’s a table only for Muslims’ and ‘we won’t play with you because you eat pork’. The class teacher also suspected that the different religions were the reason for the conflict. ‘My son confirmed this with his descriptions,’ says the mother.
The fact that her child was ostracised because of his religion particularly concerns the 36-year-old. ‘That’s not childish behaviour and comes from the parents, they’re putting pressure on them,’ she says confidently. ‘Until then, my son didn’t even know that there were different religions.’
She therefore asked the school management for immediate remedial action in a detailed letter dated the 21st of December, which is available to this editorial team. On enquiry, the deputy headteacher Sahver Münch wrote: ‘You can be sure that the situation in question was very carefully monitored and dealt with by us as a professional team.’
The school management and class teacher had held discussions with the seven-year-old’s mother, the class and the other parents, and the entire staff had been sensitised. ‘We are very keen to unite our school community and not divide it,’ emphasises Münch.
The mother is astonished by the school’s statement: ‘I didn’t realise that there had been any discussions with the others.’ In addition, her son continues to be ostracised by his classmates.
She had also sought dialogue with the parents of his classmates herself. ‘I already knew the parents and children from kindergarten, there were never any problems, the children were really good friends,’ she says. One mum promised to talk to her child. ‘But she hasn’t said hello to me since.’
The 36-year-old would now like to push for a change of school, but her son is still very attached to Schopenhauer primary school. ‘They were his best friends,’ she says. ’He just wants them to play with him again.’
“It is really, really a sad day in America,” Rep. Ilhan Omar declared at a rally by Democrats outside USAID headquarters protesting President Trump’s reconstruction of the aid agency.
It wasn’t a sad day for America, but it was so for Somalia.
Over the last two years, USAID had funneled $2.3 billion in “humanitarian assistance” to Omar’s native Somalia. Last year it reported a request for $1.6 billion in aid and even with the Biden administration on the way out the door, it sent an additional $29 million in December 2024.
USAID support for Somalia had doubled under the Biden administration and with $3.3 billion from USAID allocated in the last 5 years, the end of the USAID gravy train for the Islamic terrorist state of Somalia must have been a painful blow for Omar, who is very close to the Somali regime. Former Somali Prime Minister Hassan Khaire had reportedly celebrated that “the interest of Ilhan are not Ilhan’s, it’s not the interest of Minnesota, nor is it the interest of the American people, the interest of Ilhan is that of the Somalian people and Somalia.”
It’s unknown if any of Omar’s Majerteen clan members benefited from the billions in American money, but considering the prominence of the clan in Somali politics, it’s likely to be the case.
Somalia, along with other Islamic terrorist entities, including the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Houthis in Yemen, and Hamas in Gaza, were among the top beneficiaries of USAID cash.
USAID boasted of having sent $2.1 billion to Gaza and the West Bank since the Hamas attacks of Oct 7. In 2024 alone, $917 million was programmed for the terrorist areas occupying Israel.
USAID provided over $3.7 billion to Afghanistan since the Taliban took over with $832 million in the previous fiscal year alone. The money was so unaccountable that USAID refused to cooperate with the U.S. Government’s Afghan War watchdog tracking money going to terrorists.
Even while the United States of America was at war with the Houthis, the Iran-backed Islamic terrorist group firing on US Navy vessels, USAID continued to direct billions of dollars to Yemen.
In 2024, USAID announced a $2.7 billion aid request for Yemen and allocated $753 million. In the last 5 years, USAID provided an estimated $3.4 billion in aid to an enemy terror state.
Other Islamic terrorist states that have heavily drawn on USAID include Pakistan which harbored Osama bin Laden, but benefited from $600 million in the last 5 years. While some American towns and cities lacked clean drinking water, USAID labored to build plants for Pakistan’s majority Muslim population even while it engaged in the persecution of Christians.
USAID spent over $700 million on Iraq during the last 5 years even though the country has long since been governed by Iranian puppets whose militias have been firing on American soldiers.
$3.4 billion was directed to Syria over the past 5 years by USAID even as it was caught in a civil war between Shiite Islamists aligned with Iran and Sunni Islamists aligned with Al Qaeda.
USAID allocated $1.1 billion to spend on Lebanon even as the country was run by Hezbollah.
While USAID is unable to function in Iran, between Yemen, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, over $8 billion was sent to Iranian puppet regimes even without counting the money spent on Gaza.
In total, USAID had spent some $18.5 billion on Islamic terror states over those 5 years.
This is not a full list of USAID spending in Muslim countries, but only those countries whose governments are closely interlinked with terrorists, sponsor terrorist groups or serve as puppets of terror groups and states. Some of these countries are actively in a conflict with the U.S. They include countries responsible for the murder of American soldiers and terror attacks in the U.S.
USAID has sent $9.3 billion to Islamic terror states collectively responsible for killing over 3,000 American soldiers. Not only did Islamic terrorist states and groups kill us, but in the ultimate obscenity, we have rewarded them with millions of dollars for each of our murdered soldiers.
The reconstruction of USAID under the full umbrella of the State Department rather than as a ‘super-NGO’ advancing anti-American interests across the globe has been met with outrage by Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Jim McGovern, Sen. Chris Murphy and other longtime shills for Islamic interests in America who worry that the money for Islamic terrorists won’t be there anymore.
But we ought to ask if sending $18 billion to Islamic terror states is helping our national security.
USAID has provided massive amounts of funding for the UN and NGO ‘non-profits’ which operate inside terrorist areas with little to no oversight. Special exemptions have been handed out to allow distributors of ‘humanitarian aid’ to partner with and do business with terrorists.
Including some of the Islamic terrorist groups that America is still at war with.
USAID’s partnerships with foreign governments, and with large unaccountable organizations including the UN and the World Bank, have raised concerns of money laundering. The revolving door between USAID personnel and some of the non-profit and for-profit groups who all profit from it has also raised questions about the legitimacy of those arrangements. And USAID’s active efforts to deny information about its activities to SIGAR, the U.S. government’s Afghan war watchdog, as well as to the incoming Trump administration, makes it a rogue agency.
It may never be fully known how much of our foreign aid went into the pockets of Islamic terrorists, but the USAID freeze and consolidation under the State Department can help make sure that the aid pipeline stops being a way to fund the Islamic terrorists killing Americans.

A trans-identified male soccer player in Australia has successfully petitioned a New South Wales court to obtain an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) against a women’s rights campaigner he had never met. Stephanie Blanch, a male who plays on a women’s soccer team, told the court he felt “threatened” by the knowledge of women’s rights campaigner Kirralie Smith’s views about men who participate in women’s sports.
Smith is a spokeswoman with Binary Australia, a campaign group dedicated to advocating for single-sex sports in Australia. Smith’s vocal view that males should not be allowed to self-identify into women’s sport had previously made her a target for controversy. Last year, she launched a letter-writing campaign encouraging concerned individuals to contact Football New South Wales after it was reported that a trans-identified male on a women’s football team had caused injuries to multiple female players.
For her role in bringing awareness to the injuries sustained by female athletes, Smith was visited by New South Wales Police and handed an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) on March 30, 2024, requiring that she neither discuss nor approach Riley Dennis, the male players involved. The AVO, a legal measure similar to a restraining order, was withdrawn by authorities in September.
An Australian woman has been handed an Apprehended Violence Order by Police for opposing the participation of a transgender player in women's football.
— REDUXX (@ReduxxMag) May 2, 2023
The Australian Government has also been censoring those naming him as trans activist Riley Dennis.https://t.co/2ZQ9lftfPw
But Smith has now been hit with a new AVO by a different trans-identified male player. While mainstream coverage of the ruling has censored the identity of the man involved, Reduxx can report his identity as Stephanie Blanch, a player with the Wingham Warriors ladies team.
Blanch first applied for his AVO against Smith in March of 2023, but was rejected in January of 2024 after the Civil and Administrative Tribunal of New South Wales found that the scope of the request was out of their jurisdiction. But Blanch appealed, arguing that Smith’s “conduct” had caused him to fear for his safety.
Among his evidence was that Smith had tweeted about “a bloke on the women’s team in Wingham” in January of 2023, as well as posted a publicly-available photo of Blanch receiving an award and referred to him as a “bloke in a frock.” Blanch also complained that Smith had been spotted in the general Wingham area one month later.
According to court records, which referred to Blanch with feminine pronouns, the player “believed the Respondent was focussing on her and her involvement in football as taking away women’s rights,” and “feared for her safety and the safety of her football friends and community. She feared that the Respondent was not going to stop.”
In February of 2023, Blanch claims to have filed a police complaint against Smith, despite the fact the two had never even met in person.
In a December 2024 ruling on the AVO, the District Court emphasized the fact that Smith had declined to refer to Blanch by his chosen pronouns, writing that she “repeatedly referred to the Appellant as a male, a man, a bloke and ‘he,’ where the Appellant does not refer to herself that way.”
“The term ‘misgendering’ is a reference to the Respondent re-naming the Appellant in a way that she does not wish to be referred to, and in that sense, it was belittling and offensive. It denigrates the Appellant’s right to describe herself as she wishes, not as a stranger wishes to label her.”
The judge continued by acknowledging that while the relevant laws do not mention “misgendering” as a violation, it could be considered “sufficiently harassing.”
In the December 2024 ruling, the judge imposed an AVO against Smith, prohibiting her from approaching, contacting, or naming Blanch. She is also barred from gong to the Wingham Sporting Complex or soccer fields.
Since pursuing the AVO against Smith, Blanch has taken great steps to largely scrub his online presence. Multiple results related to Blanch have been completely withheld on Google, a likely response to an order from the eSafety Commissioner. The Commissioner is an agent of the Australian government who regulates “online harms.”
The eSafety Commissioner has previously worked to censor information related to the exposure of trans-identified males participating in women’s sport in Australia.
Last year, Reduxx was contacted by the Commissioner and advised to censor or delete an article naming Riley Dennis as having been the subject of complaint after he was alleged to have injured female players during a match.
In the article targeted by the eSafety Commissioner, Reduxx had revealed that Dennis was one of as many as five trans-identified male players currently competing against women in Football New South Wales competitions. An initial report from The Daily Mail Australia had chosen not to identify him when reporting on the injuries he was alleged to have caused, censoring images of him and declining to provide his name. However, Reduxx confirmed the player’s identity using the censored images from The Daily Mail Australia report and cross-referencing them to Dennis’ social media.
