ARGENTINA: Trans-Identified Male Arrested After Prostituting Young Girl To Pedophiles

A trans-identified male in Argentina has been arrested following a months-long undercover operation into his clandestine bar and brothel. Carolina Juárez was reportedly the owner of the secretive business, where multiple exploited women and a young girl were forced to sell sex.

The investigation into Juárez was first launched in October of last year by the National Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DDI), Argentina’s law enforcement body in charge of managing investigations into organized crime, complex crime, and federal crimes. Through tips, authorities became aware of an unlicensed, private bar being operated out of a secretive commercial space in the Buenos Aires municipality of La Costa.

But detectives quickly learned that the illegal bar was also operating as a brothel, with several exploited women being forced to sell sex by Juárez. Local prosecutor Walter Mercuri then instructed police to go undercover and infiltrate the bar, with detectives having to pose as customers and contact Juárez via WhatsApp to gain access to the premises.

⁠The undercover agents visited the bar periodically over two months to collect hidden camera footage and recorded evidence of illegal activities. During the course of the investigation, the agents discovered that Juárez was also prostituting a young girl, offering her to pedophile clients through private WhatsApp groups.

On January 26, the DDI raided the bar and arrested Juárez and a number of his male clients. The minor was rescued and has brought for medical and psychological treatment.

Juárez was charged with the promotion and facilitation of prostitution of children under 18, and his devices have been seized for further forensic examination.

During his arrest, Juárez was searched and escorted by female police officers, suggesting he will be treated as a “woman” by investigators.

Juárez is one of a number of trans-identified males in Argentina who have been arrested after forcing women or children into prostitution. As previously reported by Reduxx in 2022, a prominent trans-identified “sex worker” was arrested on charges of sexually victimizing 30 people, some of whom were minors. Daniel Ariel Araya Segura, better known as Paloma León, kept the victims in slave-like conditions, where they were forced to be available to sell sexual services 24 hours a day. The victims were routinely threatened, beaten, and even had their government social assistance checks stolen by León.

Argentina is considered one of the most “trans friendly” countries in the world, and was one of the first nations to introduce comprehensive gender self-identification laws.

In 2012, it passed the Gender Identity Law, allowing individuals to change their legal sex on official documents without requiring surgery or judicial approval. The law also mandated access to hormone therapy and “gender-affirming care” as part of universal health coverage. In 2021, the senate passed the Diana Sacayán–Lohana Berkins Law, which established that the national public sector must reserve at least 1% of its positions and vacancies for trans people.

Islam critic convicted of hate crimes in Sweden after Quran-burning associate shot dead

Salwan Najem, an Islam-critic whose fellow Quran-burning activist Salwan Momika was shot dead on January 29 in Stockholm, has been convicted of incitement against an ethnic group.

According to the Stockholm district court on February 3, Najem “expressed contempt for the Muslim ethnic group” and “exceeded free-speech protections by a wide margin”.

This went beyond a fair debate and critique of religion, the court found.

It did, though, also note that burning the Quran might not always be regarded as a hate crime and that it did not have any extra protection just because it was a sacred text for Muslims.

“There is a wide scope within the framework of freedom of expression to be critical of a religion in a factual and objective debate,” chief Judge Göran Lundahl said in a statement on the court’s website.

“At the same time, expressing one’s opinion about religion does not give one a free pass to do or say anything and everything without risking offending the group that holds that belief.”

Najem’s offending statements were made during four public events where Qurans were burned in Stockholm and led to public outrage within the Muslim community in Sweden and Islamic countries worldwide.

Many decried the burnings as blasphemous and an attack on their faith.

Najem was fined 4,000 Swedish Crowns (€450) and given a suspended sentence.

His lawyer has said he would appeal against the verdict, arguing that his client’s statements fell within the scope of criticism of religion, which is covered by the country’s freedom of expression laws.

The court was initially due to rule on the case on January 30 but, hours before revealing its judgment, co-defendant Momika was shot dead in his own apartment, leading to the postponement.

Authorities have yet to charge anyone in relation to his death although five suspects were initially held shortly afterwards before being released.

Ulf Kristersson, the Prime Minister of Sweden, has suggested the shooting might have been connected to a foreign power.

That was possibly because the city of al-Kufa in Iraq offered a prize of $2 million (€1.2 million) and a 2kg gold Quran to anyone who killed Momika. His extradition had also been demanded by the government in Baghdad.

Iran’s intelligence ministry had published a statement linking Momika to the Israeli regime and called him “a Mossad agent”.

Brigadier General Ali Fadavi, the deputy of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), also said he considered the death penalty should be imposed on Quran burners.

Despite testifying that there was a bounty on his head, Momika’s former attorney Anna Roth claimed after the shooting that her client had not received any official protection.

Najem was also an Iraqi-born refugee, who fled to Sweden in 1998 and obtained Swedish citizenship in 2005.

Both he and Momika were staunch critics of Islam, describing it as a dangerous and violent religion.

BRITISH AWAKENING: Farage’s Reform UK Surges Past Starmer’s Failing Labour in New YouGov Poll – Decadent Tories Come in Third

A mere seven months after his landslide victory, failing PM Starmer is leading a train wreck of a government to the point where, if things continue in this trend, it is not unlikely that he may be forced to call early elections.

Raising taxes insanely, cutting services, freeing dangerous criminals, incarcerating people for memes, mishandling unchecked mass migration and security… the list of failures goes on – not to mention the endless scandals.

So it’s hardly surprising that the common-sense champions, Nigel Farage’s right-wing Reform UK party have now surged past leftist Labour to become the country’s most popular political party in a new poll.

The Reuters report says it’s the ‘first time’ that happens, but the Find Out Now poll from January 22nd already showed Reform leading.

Paris: Man enters clubhouse carrying a Quran and then stabs a man in the heart

On October 23, a 43-year-old man stabbed a Tunisian after trying to deposit a Quran in a clubhouse in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. He was arrested three months later.
On January 28, a man was arrested in Grenoble for an attempted murder he had committed on October 23 in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, a police source told Valeurs actuelles. On that day, the suspect had gone to the premises of the Autremonde association to deposit a Quran there. Volunteers from the association had tried to stop him, whereupon the suspect stabbed a Tunisian who was a regular at the premises for no apparent reason.
The stab was close to the heart, according to a source familiar with the investigation. The victim, who was still alive, was put on sick leave by the coroner for 15 days. The perpetrator then took back his Quran before leaving the scene.

The police investigation led to the identification of a suspect, a certain George C., 43 years old, born in Martinique, who, according to his own statements, suffers from schizophrenia and was no longer being treated at the time of the offence. The alleged perpetrator, who was taken into police custody after his arrest in Grenoble, admitted to the offences. He also stated that he had reacted to a slight push and had not known the victim before the attempted murder.

In these proceedings, a psychiatric report will be drawn up to determine his capacity for judgement at the time of the crime and thus his criminal responsibility.

AfD leader’s Hungary invitation shows erosion of German far-right party’s isolation

An endorsement from Elon Musk, €5 million in financial donations this year alone, and now an invitation to meet Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán: once isolated, the hard-right Alternative for Germany has a growing number of friends.

Orbán, whose anti-immigration stance and calls for restoration of Europe’s energy relationship with Russia make him an ideological match for the nativist AfD, on Monday announced party leader Alice Weidel’s visit to Hungary on social media.

“Berlin has always been a city of walls. It’s time to tear another one down,” Orbán said on X.

Orbán told Switzerland’s Neue Zuercher Zeitung that the initiative had come from Weidel herself.

“The AfD could get 20 per cent of the vote (in Germany’s February 23 national election). If its head wants to talk to me, why should I say no?” the newspaper quoted him as saying in an interview.

Despite their ideological closeness, Orbán has hitherto been careful to keep his distance from the AfD, with officials saying he did not want to antagonise mainstream German parties for whom the AfD is anathema. Germany’s security services monitor the AfD on suspicion of being “right-wing extremist”.

But the return to the White House of Donald Trump, the preferred candidate of both Orbán and the AfD, and the party’s growing poll strength within Germany, appear to have shifted the calculus that in the past made many reluctant to have public contact with the party.

Weidel’s party shares Orbán’s desire to rebuild Europe’s relations with Russia despite the ongoing Ukraine war as well as his strong antipathy to immigration, especially from Muslim countries.

On Monday the German parliament disclosed that the AfD had received a €2.3 million donation on February 1, its largest ever, from a far-right Austrian politician. That followed two separate donations in January from German businessmen totalling almost €2.5 million .

Each was individually larger than the total in declared donations that the party received in any given year of its 10-year history.

Musk, the world’s richest man who is now leading efforts to slim down the US federal government, endorsed the AfD before Trump’s January 20 inauguration.

“Only the AfD can save Germany,” Musk wrote on X, his social media platform. He later hosted Weidel for an hour-long conversation.

The AfD is currently polling second in Germany’s election race, behind Friedrich Merz’s conservative bloc, though it has little chance of winning power for as long as the other parties continue to rule out inviting it for coalition talks.

That so-called “firewall” suffered a dent last week when, for the first time in postwar German history, a parliamentary motion was passed thanks to the votes of a far-right party. This prompted nationwide protests and resignations from Merz’s party, which had submitted and backed the motion on migration.

Refugees paid more than Germans? Federal body demands higher than statutory pay for foreigners

A decision by the Federal Employment Agency to mandate higher wages for two refugees than for their German colleagues has sparked outrage and debate over fairness in Germany’s labor market.

Schwäbische Zeitung reported on Monday how logistics company SV Druck GmbH sought to employ two refugees as shipping assistants at one of its warehouses in Weingarten last month. The company offered the prospective employees the statutory minimum wage of €12.82.

They were expected to start work on Feb. 1 but the process hit a bureaucratic roadblock when the Office for Migration and Integration refused to authorize the employment citing an objection from the Federal Employment Agency.

In Germany, employment contracts for refugees must be signed off by the relevant authorities.

According to a letter issued on Jan.20, the employment was not approved because the proposed wage was deemed too low. The agency ruled that refugees must be paid at least €14.00 per hour, as this was determined to be the “customary wage” for similar roles.

However, the company already employs numerous German citizens in the same role at the legal minimum wage of €12.82. The company’s HR department explained that approving a higher wage for refugees while German employees earned less for carrying out identical tasks would be discriminatory, but its protests were ignored.

SV Druck GmbH ultimately decided to cancel the employment contracts of the two refugees to avoid internal conflicts among staff.

“If the refugees were paid more, our German employees would justifiably demand the same increase,” the company explained.

When questioned about the higher wage requirement, Federal Employment Agency spokesperson Eva Schmid said, “The general statutory minimum wage is only applicable when no customary remuneration can be determined. For the position of ‘shipping assistant,’ the customary wage is set at €14.00 per hour.”

She cited wage statistics that list shipping assistants as earning between €15.98 and €16.52 per hour based on reference professions such as warehouse assistants or print shop helpers.

The regulation calls into question the extent to which federal bodies should be interfering with the free market economy and stipulating levels of remuneration exceeding the statutory limit for private companies.

Communist leader Jean Luc Mélenchon confirms the ‘great replacement’: ‘France is being creolised, and that’s a good thing!’

In front of an enthusiastic audience on Friday January 31, Jean-Luc Mélenchon confirmed that the ‘great replacement’ is indeed taking place, but in a framework that he is redefining. He said: ‘Yes, Mr Zemmour, there is a great replacement’, echoing the theses of his main opponent, as reported by the Journal du Dimanche.
For the leader of La France Insoumise, however, this replacement is above all ‘that of a generation that comes after another and that will never resemble the previous one’.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon then celebrated what he called the ‘creolisation’ of France, a process that he sees as a richness born of cultural encounters and exchanges. ‘You who have had the good fortune to mix, to discover each other, to hear yourselves sing, speak, cook and make music, you know how important this mixture is,’ he said. In doing so, he emphasised a social model in which diversity is at the centre of development.
Mélenchon criticised those who defend an ‘ossified tradition’ and emphasised that the future must not be a copy of the past. ‘The future is not destined to be the ever-recurring past,’ he said. He also praised the tradition of mixing and evolution and emphasised that humanity should look forward and not try to repeat old models.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s comments naturally provoked an immediate reaction from Éric Zemmour. On social media, the leader of the Reconquête party expressed his disapproval and condemned what he sees as a ‘denial’ of the nation. ‘Jean-Luc Mélenchon, you are blessing the conquest of France by a foreign civilisation. You have conjured up the downfall of the French people,’ he wrote, pointing the finger at Insoumi’s approval of a vision of the country that he sees as devastating to its identity.
Zemmour also accused Mélenchon of being part of a tradition of historical collaboration, claiming: ‘In the history of France, there have always been French people who have allied themselves with our enemies against our people. That is the only one of our traditions that you respect’.

US special envoy Grenell advises Germany’s CDU to ‘purge wokeness’

Richard Grenell. Screengrab youtube

Richard Grenell, US President Donald Trump’s special missions envoy, has offered the German Conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) some “free advice”.

“Woke is dead,” Grenell wrote in a post on X on February 2 – “completely dead” even if the CDU might “not see it yet”.

He recommended the party talk about how it would “purge wokeness” from the government and withstand any criticism from German reporters about it.

“Highlight their criticism and do it again,” the 58-year-old Republican recommended.

The CDU stands to win the February 23 general election and is expected to lead the next German government.

“There’s a whole group of powerful people completely out of touch with the German people,” Grenell concluded.

Grenell is intimately familiar with German politics, having served as the US ambassador to the country from 2018 to 2020 during Trump’s first presidency.

After Trump lost the 2020 election, Grenell, also a former acting director of US national intelligence, worked in the private sector and as a political adviser.

In December 2024, Trump named him as his presidential special envoy for special missions. In this role he recently travelled to Venezuela and on January 31 secured the release of six US citizens detained there.

During his term as ambassador, Grenell was a controversial figure for the German Left and the largely left-leaning German media sector.

He was accused of partisanship and breaching diplomatic rules after he said in a 2018 interview he intended to strengthen conservative powers in Europe.

In 2019, Grenell criticised Germany for what he said was its continuous failure to fulfil NATO’s goal for defence spending of 2 per cent of GDP, causing outrage among German leaders.

Wolfgang Kubicki, a Liberal MP, even demanded he be thrown out of Germany at the time for “acting like the High Commissioner of an occupying power”.

He has remained a controversial figure. In a February 2024 interview, he directly accused Angela Merkel – German Chancellor from 2005 to 2021 – of bearing part of the blame for the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.

“Trump had three main requests which Germany did not want to fulfil: the end of Nord Stream 2, higher defence spending, and new sanctions on Iran,” Grenell told German media.

“History has shown he was right on all three accounts. If Merkel had followed us, we would not have wars in either Ukraine nor Gaza.”

At the time of writing, Grenell’s latest remarks had not drawn an official response from the CDU.

Right-wing commentators on X have expressed their hope that the party would heed the former ambassador’s advice.

“The CDU still has a chance to stop this nonsense”, one observer remarked on X.

UK Officials Draft a Hit List for Wrong-Think

Senior civil servants—permanent state employees—advising Britain’s elected home secretary would widen the range of targets for counter-extremism policy, all while downplaying the proven, lethal challenge posed by Islamist groups. While institutions often fail to prevent actual violence, ‘the blob’—the nickname given to the current crop of woke, publicly funded yet largely anonymous policymakers—has been revealed as keen to redefine thoughts and words as dangerous.

Last week Home Secretary Yvette Cooper denied incorporating an extensive and now-public rogues’ gallery of types of wrong-think (and worse) into policy. Yet it was she who in August 2024 commissioned a “Rapid Analytical Sprint” approach to extremism, prompting her advisers to cook up a hit list of problematic ideas. Security minister Dan Jarvis also briefed Parliament that, while he didn’t know which Whitehall materials had been made public by the think-tank Policy Exchange, he would still distance them from current government policy.

Regardless of precisely which draft of the report was leaked to authors Andrew Gilligan and Dr Paul Stott, it is clear that Whitehall chiefs are seeking to centralise greater power for the authorities. Extremely Confused: The Government’s new counter-extremism review revealed shows how, in an Orwellian sleight-of-hand, civil servants recommended that Britain’s approach to extremism should turn away from “ideologies of concern” and turn instead to managing a wide range of troubling “behaviours.” The leaked report then goes on to give examples of such “behaviours” to clamp down on, by outlining the ideas it deems a problem.

The document came to light amid criticisms of institutional failure to control individuals already known to various agencies for harmful behaviour, most recently convicted Southport murderer Axel Rudakubana (largely ignored because he appeared to ‘lack a clear ideology’).

Instead of tackling the problem at hand, the expanded list includes “left-wing, anarchist and single issue (LASI) extremism,” “environmental extremism,” and Hindu and pro-Khalistan extremism. Away from formal politics, it cites several new ‘threats,’ including misogyny in parts of the online ‘manosphere,’ apolitical voyeurism regarding ‘gore and violence,’ and an interest in conspiracy theories, including UFO cover-ups.

Like Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s own recent statements and the European pattern of labelling populist dissent as ‘far right,’ even critics of two-tier policing (portrayed as a “right-wing extremist narrative”) are cited as the ‘type’ of person requiring state intervention. Unlike, say, those on the Pickup Artist/PUA scene, Britain’s Pakistani-heritage rape and torture gangs are not listed as misogynist, but to mention their “alleged” (sic) activities would form another strand of the “right-wing extremist narrative.”

Conversely, despite the overwhelming evidence that Islamists have dominated terrorist murders in Britain since 1999, a meagre 160 words are given over to exploring their place in the proposed new counter-extremism framework. Islamists warrant less coverage than 1990s eco-loons the Earth Liberation Front, last heard of in about 2014, after their final attacks on various inanimate structures, who the draft report grants their own case study.

The government has not (yet) formally incorporated this advice from a section of ‘the blob’ into law. But noises about reintroducing the non-crime hate incident into policing and making new laws on ‘harmful communication’ are not encouraging. Likewise, this proposed (further) conflation of thoughts and deeds would make the current counter-extremism policy endanger civil liberties further, even while killers continue to slip through its net.
