Shortly before 4 p.m., the audience attack each other wildly, chasing each other across the pitch. Suddenly, one man pulls out a knife, injures another, then even fires a shot. Brutal brawl between clans at the district sports ground in the Altenessen district of Essen. The teams ‘AL-ARZ Libanon’ and ‘RuWa Dellwig’ had previously competed against each other in Essen’s district league C in the sunshine. In the second half, there was suddenly a loud argument amongst the crowd, and then a riot broke out between at least 60 men. Many residents called the emergency services and the police launched a large-scale operation. All available patrol cars raced to Altenessen, a hundred police officers were also withdrawn from the third division match in Duisburg and 150 police officers surrounded the sports ground. The officers feared that the weapons could also be used against them. Once the situation was under control, the paramedics, who had also been alerted, were able to attend to two injured men. One of them had a stab wound.
No other victims were discovered at the district training ground. An officer: ‘There may have been other injured people, but they left before the police arrived.’ All the men suspected of the offence are being held at the sports ground. They are said to belong to two different extended families. Nobody wants to comment on why the fight broke out. One by one, the 150 possible suspects are taken out of the fenced-in area, have to identify themselves and are searched for weapons. More Lebanese clan members continue to arrive at the scene during the police operation. Several officers keep an eye on them and the tension between the groups of men remains high. The operation is expected to continue until late in the evening. Police spokesman Matthias Werk told the newspaper BILD: ‘At 3.55 p.m., we received a lot of emergency calls about the altercation on the sports field, we immediately went to the scene with very strong forces and were able to calm the incident. We recovered a bullet casing, which is now being analysed. As we assume that the altercation had clan connections, our clan investigators are also on the scene.’
The victim managed to tear the perpetrator’s clothes off, but he left the park in a hurry with the fully veiled woman who accompanied him. The photo was provided by a witness.
When a man from Meyzieu was walking with his companion in a park in Écully on May 8, he was attacked by a person who allegedly insulted him as a kuffar. An investigation was launched.
‘My mum has fought against radical Islam all her life. I am Arab, Muslim, but what I have witnessed is not Islamic to me.’ Kader is 48 years old and lives in Meyzieu. On the afternoon of May 8, he went for a walk with his partner and his dog in the Parc du Vivier in Écully.
‘At one point we came across a couple, she veiled, in black from head to toe, he in khaki trousers and djellaba…’.
[…] Kader suspects that the fact that his partner is European and he is a typical Arab-looking man is the reason for the sudden and violent attack: ‘I ended up with a bloody nose! Le Progrès
Following Hamas’s October 7 attack and Israel’s subsequent military campaign, prominent Berlin-born imam Ferid Heider has shared his firm stance on these events extensively on his social media accounts, including: TikTok, where he has 1,112 followers;[1] Instagram, where he has 11,600 followers;[2] Facebook, where he has 661 followers;[3] and X, formerly Twitter, where he has 284 followers.[4]
Background On Ferid Heider
Heider was born in Berlin to an Iraqi father and a Polish mother and studied at the prominent Al-Azhar University in Cairo following the Shafi’i school of jurisprudence, followed by a study in shari’a at the “Instituts européens des sciences humaines”[5] in Château-Chinon. This was supplemented by degrees in Arabic Studies and Islamic Scholarship from the “Free University” (FU) in Berlin, as well as attendance at the “Deutscher Informationsdienst über den Islam e.V.” (Didi),[6] where he acquired knowledge in tafsir (i.e., Islamic exegesis), hadith, and usul ul-fiq (“methodologies of jurisprudence”). Heider published a book titled Introduction to Hadith Science,[7] and in 2012, he obtained approval to narrate and transcribe Sahih al-Bukhari from Sheikh Aiman Swaid.[8]
Alongside his active online presence on the popular social media platforms, of which his Instagram account is managed by “Islam Media.de” with its YouTube channel with 961,000 followers,[9] a networking platform of German-speaking Muslims aimed at fostering the communication of Islamic scholarship and Islamic knowledge conveyed through online lectures. Heider also serves as a guest lecturer at the “Initiative Berliner Muslime”[10] (IBMUS) as well as the “Islamkolleg Deutschland e.V.”[11] which is Germany’s first imam college, and an effort to better monitor the educational prerequisites to effectively facilitate sermons and Islamic scholarship in accordance with the country’s liberal-democratic principles.
Heider is well connected in the communities in Germany’s capital including the “Neuköllner Begegnugsstaette” (NBS)[12] known as Dar-as-Salam Mosque, “Interkulturelles Zentrum fuer Dialog und Bildung e.V.”[13] (IZDB), the Bilal Mosque, and his “Teiba Kulturzentrum e.V.”[14] The Teiba association is being monitored by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) for its suspected ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, according to the BfV-issued 2016 annual report.[15] The association offers a variety of services, including Quran recitation and other Islamic classes, extracurricular activities, introductory meetings for children and parents teaching Arabic and Islamic foundational knowledge, as well as facilitates homework support and tutoring. He also lectures at the “Islamischen Kultur und Erziehungszentrum (IKEZ), as documented by BfV in 2016.[16]
Heider’s Islamist Connections
Germany’s security agency the Office for the Protection of the Constitution is aware of Heider for his leadership roles in Teiba, IKEZ, and IZDB. As early as 2012, the Baden-Württemberg Constitutional Protection Office’s annual state report[17] identified Heider as a key participant (presumably as a lecturer) at the annual meeting of the association of “Deutsche Muslimische Gemeinschaft e.V.”[18] (DMG), Germany’s most important organization of Muslim Brotherhood supporters. Heider was previously associated with the “Palästinensische Gemeinschaft in Deutschland e. V.”[19] (PGD), which, according to the BfV’s 2016 report, is home to a significant number of Hamas supporters, while the office in North Rhine-Westphalia suspects that the PGD serves as Hamas’ representative in Germany.[20] Heider further served as a guest lecturer at the “Islamische Gemeinschaft in Deutschland” (IGD), associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, at the organization’s annual conference in 2018.[21]
Heider was invited as a guest speaker at the IGD Annual Conference in 2018 held in the city of Hagen.
Heider’s Reactions To The October 7 Attack And To Germany’s Response, And Statements On The Place Of Antisemitism And Jerusalem In Islam
On October 8, Heider shared a video on Instagram titled “A Mind Game About The Middle East Conflict!” during which compares the Hamas-led attack on Israel to Ukraine’s defense response to Russia’s war invasion. He states the following: “Let’s assume the Gaza Strip was the Ukraine and Israel was Russia – What would the coverage in the German media look like today?! I will leave the answer up to you. [This is] simply a mind game.”[22] The video was additionally shared on his TikTok account.[23]
Heider published on October 26, 2023, a video titled “What Is Happening With Germany?” in which he voiced his clear doubt about Germany’s integrity by declaring Israel as its “raison d’etre.” He says: “What is happening with Germany? What’s happening with this beautiful country of the poets and the thinkers? Is this the country in which we were educated at school? That we should question! To think critically should not entail simply accepting every opinion. What is wrong with this country, which has lost its way. Learning from the National Socialist era, so that these crimes do not happen again? That people do not just look the other way, when a crime happens? What is wrong with this country, where you have to be afraid now to express your opinion, to be critical of German foreign policy, because otherwise you could lose your job? As it has happened who have expressed criticism against the one-sided German stance regarding Israel and the Gaza Strip. How can it be that someone loses their job just because he questions that one should unconditionally side with Israel – to stand by Israel? Where was this Germany? I do not know where the journey will take us, but if it continues like this, then it will have dire consequences for this country as many bright minds will leave this country. And I am not talking about people with a migrant background! No, no, I am talking about native Germans who have that feeling of no longer being in the Germany in which they grew up.”[24]
Heider argues the close affiliation between Muslims and Jews by pointing out that according to Islam, Jews are “Ahl Al-Kitab [people of the book].”[25] He then quotes Germany’s president Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who said during his speech at the Islam Conference that antisemitism is deep-rooted in Islam, which Heider said was “complete nonsense.” He begins his short sermon with a rhetorical question: “Why did the prophet fight the Jewish tribes? Because they were aggressors, it had nothing to do with them being Jews. He also fought against the Quraysh tribe. Did he have anything against Arabs? Nonsense! He fought against his own people, his own tribe. Abu Bakr almost killed his father during the Battle of Badr. Some even killed their fathers and brothers. So does this mean that I am now an anti-Arabist or something […] there were certain historical events in Medina! […] but the prophet did not fight them because they were Jews but because they were aggressors. Our prophet had a Jewish wife [Safiya bint Huyayy] We know that even today, Judaism is seen not only as a religion but also as an ethnicity. That is why many Jews who live in Israel are Jews by descent but are atheists, they do not believe in God at all. They do not believe in God, but still call themselves Jews. So that means Safiye was a Muslim Jew […] how can the prophet have been an antisemite if the Qur’an allows [Muslim men] to marry a Jewish woman. That means that my own children, I must not force my Jewish wife to accept Islam, I must respect her religion, my own children are Jews from the [maternal] line of Judaism […] the Qur’an and the sunnah of the prophet are free of antisemitism. It is about aggressors regardless of whether a Jew, Christian or even a Muslim. But unfortunately, it is always misrepresented!”[26]
In a brief Instagram post in February 2024, Heider reminded his followers of the significance of Jerusalem for Muslims: “Why did our prophet first travel to Jerusalem on his journey to heaven? Why did he not ascend directly from Mecca to heaven when mecca is holier for us Muslims than Bayt Al-Maqdis [Jerusalem]? He wanted to show us that Jerusalem is part of our religion. Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa is a part of our faith […] especially in these times it is vital that we emphasize this again and again. Preserve the Al-Aqsa mosque and reach out to our brothers and sisters in Gaza.”[27]
Teiba e.V.’s Fundraising Campaign
Heider’s “Teiba e.V.” began a campaign to raise funds for their proposal to build a mosque in the Berlin neighborhood of Spandau on a total space of 1,500m² (2,000euro/m²), at a cost of 3,000,000 euros. The mosque will be in close proximity of the Teiba community, which is expected to attract 1,000 visitors each week from about 40 countries, with 50% of them being “young.” Donations can be made via traditional wire transfer to the specified financial account, PayPal, direct transfer as well as via an online form found on its webpage.[28]
Furthermore, a debt of over 30,000 euros has been accumulated throughout the ongoing mosque renovation. The first revenues were mostly derived from “sadaqah,” a voluntary charity. Teiba e.V. launched on March 23, 2024, a fundraising campaign on “Commons Place,” the first Muslim crowdfunding site in Germany,[29] to pay the debt. On the crowdfunding page, Heider is shown speaking to the community soliciting donations and notes that “Everything you donate is a sadqa jariyyya [voluntary charity]. Every child who learns in the mosque will receive hassanat [i.e., reward for good deeds], every child who learns the Arabic language will receive hassanat […] even after your death […]”[30] By March 27, 5,000 euro had been raised, while by April 5 25,350 euro had been raised from 900 supporters. A day prior the campaign’s expiration date on April 13, Teiba collected had 31,020 euros from 1106 supporters.
Co-initiators of the campaign alongside Heider are Maher Beru and Mohamad Hajaj. BfV classifies Hajaj as an active Islamist and reports that he is the managing director of the Berlin-based “Inssan e.V.”[31] a self-proclaimed anti-discrimination and anti-Islamophobia network, which is also said to have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. With the inauguration of a state-sponsored “Expert Commission on Anti-Muslim Racism”[32] in February 2021, Hajjaj, who also serves as Teiba’s deputy chairman, was named to the board of the commission in Berlin.[33] In addition to his various functions, Heider too serves as a member of the Berlin Imams Council,[34] which was established in 2021 as a beneficiary of the Berlin Senate Cultural Administration. The council also maintains ties with groups identified by the BfV as having connections to Islamism.[35]
Heider’s Hajj And Umrah Travel Agency
Heider runs a travel agency specializing in Hajj (i.e., the pilgrimage to Mecca) and Umrah (a secondary pilgrimage to Mecca in Islam) trips. The agency, called “Makarim”[36] is located in Mainz. He organizes the trips alongside fellow community member Soleman El Aissati, a well-versed pilgrim of Berber origin with 15 years of experience who also runs a Halal store in Aachen “Halal UG.”[37] Makarim offers religious retreats in an appropriate setting. On his Instagram, Heider introduces himself as a coach “Coach for Dunya [the world, i.e., worldly affairs] & Akhira [the Hereafter].”

Saint Thomas the Apostle is one of the twelve disciples of Jesus Christ. He came from a family of fishermen. He is especially honored by the Church on Sunday of St. Thomas, also known as Second Sunday or Antipascha.
Thomas refused to believe that the resurrected Jesus had appeared to the ten other apostles because of his absence from the first appearance of the Risen Christ. Eight days later, in the presence of Jesus Christ and his disciples, Thomas became that person who publicly claims the certainty of the Lord’s Resurrection due to “good Incredulity,” his fruitful insistence on witnessing the glorious miracle by meeting the Savior Christ. Then, he was motivated by Jesus Christ to feel the wounds from the spear and the nails of the crucifixion and not to remain unfaithful, but to become faithful. In awe, Thomas worships the Risen Lord, exclaiming: “My Lord and my God.” The answer of the Risen Jesus will teach through the ages all those who will want to remain skeptical before the truth of the Gospel: “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
After the apparition of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, obeying the command of the resurrected Christ, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,” Saint Thomas preached the Word of God to the Parthians, the Medes, the Persians, and the Indians.
In India, the Apostle Thomas was arrested by King Misdeus for catechizing and baptizing his son Juzanes, his wife Tertia, and his daughters Mygdonia and Narka. Because he persuaded the king’s family to embrace Christianity, he was arrested by five soldiers who and was taken to a mountain, where he was speared and killed, confirming that he, like most of the Apostles, would preach the word of the Gospel, but they will also become Martyrs of the Faith.
“Deport these idiots and send them to Iran or Gaza.” This is not said by a conservative, but by Caitlyn Jenner, the most famous transgender athlete. After all, there is a demand for human resources in Tehran: public hangings have tripled and the ayatollahs kill one every five hours.
However, I have a better proposal, given that they repeat that “woke does not exist” and that it is just moral panic spread by white cisgender males in a heteronormative and Islamophobic world, let’s take them up on it. Let’s invite Hamas to the next Eurovision, so that the “LGBTQH” (where “h” stands for Hamas) will be happy.
Edward Gibbon and Oswald Spengler were wrong: the decline of civilization does not come from the barbarians who overwhelm Rome, but from the “Queers for Palestine”.
The “Queers for Palestine”, who resemble the Pastafarians but you can find them almost everywhere,invited artists to withdraw from Eurovision due to the presence of the Israeli singer.
So my solution that could satisfy the “Queers for Palestine” is to let Hamas participate with a song in Eurovision. Five guys with beards singing “La Ilaha Illallah” for two minutes.
OK, let’s be serious. The matter is certainlly serious. Corinne Blackmer wrote an essay on Tablet explaining that there is an alliance between LGBT, left and Islamists that has knocked out universities.
It’s called civilizational suicide and it runs faster than my irony.
Meanwhile, Boston University has just hosted “the first Queer Food Conference”. Participants paid $45 each to discuss “queer food” and analyze “food spaces” from “queer, Marxist, feminist and anti-colonialist perspectives.”
At Stanford students dressed like Hamas terrorists.
An open-air asylum: this is the world in which our woke elites live.
The mini-Gazas that have sprung up in universities across America, Holland, England, Belgium, France and Italy look like summer camps. It seems that they will accept a double degree with the Grand Mosque of Cairo. Yes to the muezzin in the headquarters of the universities. And the naming of a classroom after Yahya Sinwar, leader of Hamas.
Okay, I am joking.
But a large banner reading “Welcome to the People’s University for Palestine” was indeed put up in Oxford, mindful of the “people’s democracies ” of communist Europe. Why not installing a television in every classroom in Oxford to broadcast live the debates of the Iranian Parliament?
While waiting for the next Eurovision with Hamas, we can enjoy the spectacle of the white and fluid students who submit to Allah on the campuses of America gone bad.
Iran has (really) offered asylum to Western students suspended for occupying universities.
An Arab activist went to Auschwitz, while fellow demonstrators raised slogans against Shoah survivors at the entrance to the extermination camp, the graveless tomb of a million European Jews. “If Allah wills, we will get rid of you and you will return to the camps” he says, filming himself. “Long live Abu Obaidah”. Obaidah is one of the leaders of Hamas who today wants to complete the work of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who allied himself with Hitler and visited the extermination camps.
Next year then, together with having Abu Obaydah sing at Eurovision, we might invite Khamenei to Auschwitz: he could draw inspiration for his “final solution”. Then the West will be really inclusive.
On today’s #NCFWhittle we speak with Dr. Kristian Niemietz, Head of Political Economy and author of several books at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA). He joins us to discuss his latest book “Imperial Measurement: A Cost–Benefit Analysis of Western Colonialism”
A pair of feminist authors from France have warned that their country risks making the same “mistakes” as the UK following the release of their scathing new “gender-critical” book.
Dora Moutot, 36, and Marguerite Stern, 33, have seen their book “Transmania: an Investigation into the Excesses of Transgender Ideology” exceed sales by thousands – and its publisher has already printed a further 20,000 copies.
The book decries what the duo have called “the greatest conceptional heist of the century” by pro-trans activists, whose “ideology”, they claim, is “infiltrating every sphere of society” and tries to “transform our relationship with reality”.
In “Transmania”, the pair say that stating “women are Homo Sapiens females and men are Homo Sapiens males” has become impossible without being attacked and censored.
Speaking to the Telegraph, Moutot said the book’s sales represent “a kind of anti-woke vote, a popular vote by certain people who saw the incredible censorship surrounding this book and bought it out of a spirit of resistance”.
After Moutot received death threats in Strasbourg earlier this week, fellow gender-critical author JK Rowling leapt to her defence online, saying: “As someone whose death has been demanded on placards for exactly the same reason (knowing ‘woman’ isn’t a feeling in a man’s head), I send Dora Moutot love and solidarity.”
Protesters outside Paris’s Pantheon-Assas University labelled the authors “Terfs”, Wikimedia Commons . Mbzt, CC-BY-3.0
In response, Stern expressed support for the under-fire Harry Potter author, saying: “I admire her for her courage. I agree with everything she says. She must have had a very comfortable life before, which is not at all the case now.
“She got the same treatment as we did. When we realised that an international figure like that was getting such a pummelling by the French media, with so little nuance, we knew what to expect.”
The authors received further threats on Monday outside Paris’s Pantheon-Assas University, where they were given 15 riot police vans’ worth of attention upon their arrival.
Protesters outside the institution branded them “Terfs” – trans exclusionary radical feminists – and chanted: “A Terf, a bullet, social justice.”
Moutot said: “I can’t stay at home, they have my address and I have received death threats, so I’ve moved out temporarily.”
“It’s as if France were in a bubble, completely closing its ears to what’s going on internationally, and the mistakes made in the UK, the countries of Northern Europe.
“France is always behind the curve on Britain on such issues – when I’ve spoken to English people, they’ve told me: ‘In France, you’re not going to fall for that.’ Well, in fact, it’s even worse here because we should know better.”
But Stern remained bullish, telling the Telegraph: “There are a lot of people out there today who feel that there’s an issue with transgender ideology, but who find it hard to put words to it, who are really seeking information.”
“We’ll be sending this book to ministers, MPs, people who have the power to change things. They will be warned.”
“We’re branded ‘right’ or ‘far-right’, but it is the left that rejected us… We have to thank the right for giving this issue the exposure it deserves and for taking the measure of considering it an important issue.”
Consequences of a misguided migration policy? Police officer Tayfun A. confessed in court to raping his then 21-year-old colleague during a private meeting. The Turk got off with probation. His victim is still undergoing psychological counselling today.
The perpetrator, Tayfun A., and his victim had met at the Federal Police at Frankfurt Airport. They then met in A.’s flat in mid-2022. After he had a glass of wine and she had a glass of gin, he tried to approach his then 21-year-old colleague sexually. However, the young woman fought him off and then briefly went into the bathroom to adjust her clothes. When she came out again, Tayfun A. suddenly and violently attacked her.
That night, the woman spent the night at a friend’s house for fear of having to return to her flat alone, reports the Bild newspaper. The following day, she filed a complaint with the police and had her family doctor certify the injuries she suffered during the crime.
The officer Tayfun A. only confessed to his disgusting offence shortly before the end of the hearing of evidence. During the trial, he repeatedly denied having assaulted his younger work colleague. Last Wednesday, now that the burden of proof was presumably irrefutable, the 31-year-old rapist confessed to his offence.
More than just, the man of Turkish origin now loses his job as a federal police officer, his civil servant status and any pension entitlements. He also has to pay 8,000 euros in damages. Tayfun A. may now be unemployed, but he is at large again. This is because the Bonn district court sentenced him to one year and ten months in prison for rape and wilful bodily harm – suspended for four years.
His victim, however, is still undergoing therapeutic treatment.
A high school track athlete in Bridgeport, West Virginia, has joined an ongoing lawsuit challenging the inclusion of trans-identified males in female sports. The student, Adaleia Cross, identified in the declaration as “A.C.,” alleges that fellow track team member Becky Pepper-Jackson, a boy who claims to identify as a girl, made several sexually abusive and vulgar remarks about her, which caused her “deep distress.”
According to a statement by the 15 year-old girl added as evidence to the lawsuit State of Tennessee, et al v. Cardona, et al (U.S. Secretary of Education) on May 8, Pepper-Jackson, 13 years-old and identified as B.P.J., made “several offensive and inappropriate sexual comments” towards Cross. The harassment escalated, she said, during their final year of middle school, when “the comments became much more aggressive, vile, and disturbing.”
The suit alleges that Pepper-Jackson would say “suck my dick” to both the complainant and other girls on the team.
“During the end of that year, about two to three times per week, B.P.J. would look at me and say ‘suck my dick.’ There were usually other girls around who heard this. I heard B.P.J. say the same thing to my other teammates, too,” Cross said.
“B.P.J. made other more explicit sexual statements that felt threatening to me. At times, B.P.J. told me quietly ‘I’m gonna stick my dick into your pussy.’ And B.P.J. sometimes added ‘and in your ass,’ as well. These comments were disturbing and caused me deep distress.”
The sexual abuse took place while Pepper-Jackson shared a locker room with the teen girls, as well as during track practice, Cross said. The comments made the girl feel “confused and disgusted,” she explained, “especially confusing because I was told that B.P.J. was on the girls’ team because B.P.J. identifies as a girl, but the girls on the team never talked like that.”
Concerned, Cross reported the sexual comments to her track coach and to school administrators. However, “nothing changed,” she said, and Pepper-Jackson “got very little or no punishment” for saying things other students would be penalized for.
“I was glad to move into high school in the Fall of 2023 so that I would not have to deal with B.P.J.’s harassment since B.P.J. is still in middle school. But because the middle school and high school share the same track and have overlapping practice times, I still see B.P.J. up to three times per week at girls’ discus and shot put practice,” Cross explained.
She also described her fears for future school activities that may include Pepper-Jackson. According to her statement, both Pepper-Jackson and Cross play the trumpet in the marching band.
“In marching band, we have many band trips that require overnight stays, where students share hotel rooms without an adult staying in the room with them. I am hesitant to continue playing in the band because I am uncertain whether I will be forced to share a hotel room or be exposed to B.P.J. on these trips.”
Cross additionally voiced her concern for Pepper-Jackson’s female peers, positing that his presence in the locker room of 12 and 13 year-old girls could deter them from playing sports altogether.
“I also worry about the little 6th-grade girls who are on the same team as B.P.J. right now. If I were in 6th grade and had to deal with sexual comments from a biological male two years older than me who was changing in the same locker room as me, I wouldn’t even play sports. It wouldn’t be worth it.”
She further spoke up on behalf of her younger sister, who she fears will be in an uncomfortable scenario with Pepper-Jackson in the future, when she enters high school and encounters him as a senior athlete.
“My younger sister… is a good athlete, but she is very shy, and I can’t imagine how she would feel if B.P.J. said those sexual comments to her while they were competing in sports or changing in the locker room. I do not want that to happen. I believe that girls’ sports should be for girls only. Males, even those who identify as girls, do not belong on girls’ sports teams or in girls’ locker rooms,” she stated.
Cross noted that while Pepper-Jackson had never previously been one of the top athletes at Bridgeport Middle School (BMS), he experienced a dramatic change in his abilities during the 2022 – 2023 school year, and “suddenly became one of the top three throwers in shot put and discus at BMS.”
Until April of last year, Cross was in the top three on her team for discus in the 7th and 8th grade, but “that changed as B.P.J. started beating me.”
As Pepper-Jackson began to outrank her, she says the boy mocked her, making remarks such as, “You have more testosterone than I do, and I am still beating you.”
In April 2023, the night before a championship meet, Cross was pulled aside by her coach and told she had been “knocked out” of her position in the Mid Mountain 10 MS Championships.
“At that point, B.P.J.—a male almost two years younger than me—had passed my personal record in shot put (24’ 1”) by almost three feet (27’). And B.P.J. had passed my personal record in discus (55’ 2”) by more than 10 feet (66’ 0”),” she said.
“Because B.P.J. now ranked in the top three in shot put and discus, I was pushed out of the top three to fourth place at BMS in those events. And it meant that I did not get to compete in shot put or discus in the Mid Mountain 10 MS Championships on April 29, 2023.” Cross was not given the opportunity to compete in discus or shot put for the remainder of the season.
The girl added that she did not want to share a locker room with Pepper-Jackson, expressing safety concerns and embarrassment at the thought of changing around a boy. But she felt as though she could not speak up due to the risk of being labeled “transphobic,” and that she felt “unheard and unseen.”
In a recent op-ed for Fox News, Cross expressed shock that she had been put in this situation.
“It’s 2024, and I thought things were equal for women — that if I tried my best, I had a fair chance. But now, in the name of progress and diversity, the Biden administration is trying to take away my right to safety and my right to compete in sports. That’s not progress,” Cross said, referring to the decision by the President to expand Title IX sports protections to include “gender identity,” thereby removing sex-based policies.
Last month, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals blocked a West Virginia law known as the Save Women’s Sports Act that would have protected single-sex sports and required Pepper-Jackson’s removal from the girls’ track team. The boy was a primary focus of the ruling, as he is being used as a poster child by the trans activist lobbying group the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which in 2021 filed the challenge to West Virginia’s bill requiring an adherence to sex categories in sports.
In the April 16 ruling, Judge Toby Heytens stated, “Offering B.P.J. a ‘choice’ between not participating in sports and participating only on boys teams is no real choice at all.”
“The defendants cannot expect that B.P.J. will countermand her social transition, her medical treatment, and all the work she has done with her schools, teachers, and coaches for nearly half her life by introducing herself to teammates, coaches, and even opponents as a boy,” Judge Heytens added.
“As the Fourth Circuit made clear in this ruling, West Virginia’s effort to ban one 13-year-old transgender girl from joining her teammates on the middle school cross country and track team was singling out Becky for disparate treatment because of her sex,” Lambda Legal Staff Attorney for Youth Sruti Swaminathan said, in a press release published by the ACLU of West Virginia. “That’s discrimination pure and simple, and we applaud the court for arriving at this just decision.”

The decision was also praised in an article published by leading media outlet The Washington Post, which warned readers of “a nationwide backlash against trans rights, fueled in large part by claims that trans women would unfairly dominate women’s sports and that children are being allowed to transition too young.”
In an act of defiance against the ruling allowing Pepper-Jackson to remain in girls’ sports and locker rooms, five middle-school girls chose to forfeit rather than compete against the boy, in a silent protest on April 18 that saw them stepping out of a shot put circle. The girls were athletes with Lincoln Middle School, and were participating in the 2024 Harrison County Middle School Championships at Liberty High School in Clarksburg, West Virginia.
A Kenyan doctor declared last week that the globalist World Health Organization (WHO)’s proposed “Pandemic Accord” treaty aims to pave the way for a new lethal man-made virus and vaccine, as well as establish a global government by undermining national sovereignty.
Dr. Wahome Ngare explained before the Second African Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family Values & Sovereignty that the real purpose of the pending treaty, which would achieve unprecedented medical control of the WHO over all of its member nations, is depopulation.
He pointed out that there is a substantial history of population reduction efforts in Africa despite the fact that it is demonstrably not overpopulated. To drive this home, he explained that the land mass of Africa can fit that of the U.S., China, India, and Japan but contains only about a fourth of the population of all of those countries combined.
“The problem with Africa is not its growing population, (which) is actually an asset. The problem is greedy global corporate owners who are interested in appropriating our natural resources,” Dr. Ngare said.
The doctor maintains that there are ongoing efforts to reduce the population on the continent through war, famine, disease, and even genetically modified organisms (GMOs), explaining, “The biggest problem with GMO is that the seed is patented — it is owned by someone. And once you use it long enough and your natural seed has disappeared, they can withdraw their seed and kill you through hunger.” In fact, Bill Gates-backed initiatives in Africa have pushed GMO crops for years, under the pretext that it will “end starvation in Africa.”
Dr. Ngare went on to make the case that the COVID-19 outbreak was deliberately used to depopulate the world, including Africa, and that this was only a prelude to what is planned to follow this next WHO Pandemic Accord.
During COVID-19, he noted, people were told that a “frightening” number would die from the virus, and that the disease was untreatable, and that “natural immunity cannot protect us and save us.”
“We were told not to shake hands, we were told not to social distance, we were told to stay at home … If you were given this psychological torture for six months and then you were told there was a vaccine, what would you do? You would run for the vaccine!” Dr. Ngare said.
Vaccination then “became mandatory through coercion,” because evidence of vaccination was needed in order to access goods and services, said Dr. Ngare, suggesting that this showed that “The end game of the whole covid fiasco was to vaccinate everybody … That is what COVID was about.”
The problem with these vaccines, explained the doctor, is that they were so dangerous as to constitute “a national security risk.” Why?
For one, only the manufacturers knew what exactly was in the vaccines, and only the laboratories involved in creating them were permitted to test and examine these vaccines.
The supposed basis of their usefulness was also based on an erroneous foundation, Dr. Ngare declared, because the spike protein created by the vaccine was modeled after the very same protein that caused disease in COVID-19.
The shot was also pushed along with the assertion that natural immunity is not protective — and yet, the very vaccine was based on the body’s ability to “mount an immune response to the pathogen!”
Worse, data from the jab trials released by a court order in the U.S. revealed a disturbing amount of death and injury caused at least by the Pfizer shot. According to Dr. Ngare, 61 people died from strokes and five people died from liver damage during the trials, while 80% of pregnant mothers lost their babies during the first three months of pregnancy after being injected with the COVID shots. Moreover, harm was inflicted on both men and women’s reproductive systems by the shots, which harmed sperm count and motility, ovaries, menstrual cycles and placentas.
“This was known during the time of registration of the vaccines, but was not known by doctors,” Dr. Ngare said.
He went on to tell how in Africa there has long been a precedent of imposing unnecessary vaccines, as well as even pushing vaccines that harmed fertility, particularly through the tetanus shot.
According to Dr. Ngare, during the campaign to eradicate tetanus in Africa, females from age 14 to 49 were vaccinated every six months for tetanus, with shots that were in fact contraceptives, unbeknown to the women. This shot was intentionally designed and developed by the U.N, W.H.O., and World Bank to reduce fertility, he added.
The doctor asserted that a paper has been published demonstrating the contraceptive nature of these tetanus vaccines, which has been read over 300,000 times.
Dr. Ngare suggested that these efforts to depopulate Africa and the world through vaccines are precedents for an upcoming depopulation campaign to be initiated through the Pandemic Accord treaty.
The amendments to the international health regulations (IHR) that are part and parcel of the treaty will determine how the WHO would manage pandemics, or diseases that cross country borders, according to Dr. Ngare.
“The WHO is seeking to increase its powers so that the Director General can unilaterally declare that there is a pandemic, whether real or imagined,” Dr. Ngare said. “The minute he pronounces that, the new regulations would allow him to take charge of pandemic management in every country that is a signatory to WHO.”
“It is director Tedros who will say when you will lock down, whether you can ever go to work, which vaccines you’ll be given,” he explained.
“If the WHO causes so much damage with its current power, can you imagine what it would do if you actually gave it more power?” he continued.
“My conclusion is (that) the WHO is no longer a health-promoting body. It has become an imperialism arm of global corporate interests,” he said, adding that the proposed pandemic treaty and IHRs “aim to give the WHO the legal mandate to facilitate the creation of new pandemic … using new man-made viruses, and (the) use of vaccinations as a counter-measure, both designed to reduce the world population through reducing fertility, maiming and killing.”
“It will also give the WHO the mandate to use the pandemics to establish a one-world government by totally obliterating the sovereignty of member states and countries and eroding the citizens’ individual liberties,” he warned.
He urged African nations to avoid this immense harm by first writing “formally to the WHO” to reject the amendments and IHRs, and then to “consider exiting the WHO by 2024, which is when the pandemic treaty is supposed to come into force.”
The doctor also called on African countries to “collectively call for an end to gain-of-function research,” which described as both absurd and extremely dangerous.
“African countries should take a step and say, it is criminal for anybody to train viruses and bacteria to attack human beings as a way of creating a vaccine just in case that virus escapes,” he said. “That is witchcraft. It is not medicine.”
He also advised African countries to “collectively treat all vaccination programs as a national security risk,” stating, “If you cannot determine what is in the vaccine that is being given to your people, you may be opening a door to destroy the African population.”
Finally, Dr. Ngare urged African nations to “reject any linking of individual health records, including vaccination records, to the digital ID that is now being forced” on them.
“Honorable members, do not allow the government to access private health information as a means to determine who will get health services or not. It is medically unethical and it is against basic human rights,” he said.
