Allah's Willing Executioners

A woman who says she was forced out of a UK fire service for her gender critical views has told GB News she feels “humiliated” after a “witch-hunt” saw her ousted from her position.

Andrea Pieri, a former employee of Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service says she faced hounding allegations and an investigation into gross misconduct after requesting an order involving Norwich Pride be handed to another member of staff, due to her views.

The order included agreeing to a “Pride Allies Pledge”, which requires a “commitment to support and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community”, which can be made by individuals, businesses, or organisations.

Speaking exclusively to GB News, Pieri said that her manager was willing to accommodate her wish, but she was called into a meeting with HR just days later.

Pieri explained: “I said to my manager, I’ve had this order for Norwich Pride come in, and due to my gender critical views, I don’t feel comfortable having my name against this order as it is. Is there any possibility that this could please be assigned to someone else?”And he was fine about it. However, a couple of days later, I was called into a meeting with HR.” Pieri says that she later found out another individual at the Fire Service had escalated a complaint to senior leadership and HR.

In the meeting, which Pieri described as “not tea and biscuits”, she told GB News it was insinuated that her views were “homophobic”.

Pieri insisted this was not the case, and her views were based on fears about transgender ideology entering pride events.

Pieri said: “The insinuation was that I was homophobic, and I explained that it’s precisely because of my opposition to homophobia that I have moral objections to Norwich Pride.

“Gay people have been kicked out of pride events in the past. Nancy Kelly, the CEO of Stonewall, has described lesbians as ‘sexual racists’ for not wanting to sleep with men. There’s a whole plethora of issues in terms of gender ideology, indoctrinating children, sterilising children, and invading women’s single sex spaces.”

Following the meeting, Pieri said that a “letter of expectations” was issued alongside another meeting with members of the EDI (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion) team, where she was once again “grilled about her beliefs” on gender.

Considered a “top performer” in her team, Pieri was told that the meeting was about her “performance” at work.

She was instead subjected to a “humiliating” and “intrusive” sit down with some of the EDI representatives.

She told GB News: “I essentially had to explain my whole reasoning, my political views, and my moral objections to pride. And it just felt very intrusive and quite humiliating as I don’t talk about my politics and my views at work.

“The only reason it came out, that I was gender critical, was because I asked for the possibility of the Pride order to be assigned to someone else. So I had that meeting where I was essentially grilled about my beliefs and I was still being hounded. It was quite patronising and condescending – I remember thinking to myself, ‘you’ve heard everything that I’ve had to say – why do you want me to repeat myself?'”

After the situation had “died down”, Pieri was then informed months later that a formal investigation was to be carried out against her for allegedly “breaching the letter of expectations”, which she says left her “completely dumbfounded”.

Pieri said: “As far as I was aware, that letter of expectations was to do with these Pride orders, and I hadn’t been asked to raise any. I was informed that this is a level three investigation, which is the highest form of investigation and could potentially result in dismissal. It was like the rug being absolutely pulled from underneath me.

“I was being investigated for gross misconduct; in that I had displayed discriminatory behaviour in the workplace. And again, I was just tearing my brain inside out because I couldn’t even so much as recall any arguments that I had with anyone, let alone discriminatory behaviour. I’ve never discriminated against anyone in my life.”

Highlighting the impact on her mental health, Pieri detailed how she became depressed and suffered with “intrusive thoughts” during the investigation period.

She explained: “I was going out of my mind at this point. This made me very ill, very depressed – I was essentially being treated as a pariah. I’d spent all that time in the organisation building such a good reputation, I was always the person people would go to for help – even people who’d been in the organisation longer than me.

“I was always praised for the quality of my work, and it seemed as if all of that was taken away just like that.”

Pieri was then suspended following the investigation – however, she claims she was then informed that the scope of the investigation had “widened” after the Fire Service sought to investigate her online posts as she was suspected of a “potential breach of their social media policy” and she had “potentially put the organisation into disrepute”.

Discussing the posts, which consisted of “likes and reposts” of a gender critical nature, she told GB News: “It just felt so intrusive. When it eventually came to my investigation meeting, they had printed out every single one of my tweets and I was asked to explain them.

“I retweeted a post that said ‘lesbians don’t like d***’, and I was asked to explain that. I just thought, isn’t that self-explanatory? Isn’t that what a lesbian is? They’re biological women that are not sexually attracted to men.

“I had to explain posts about straight men pretending to be women, infiltrating lesbian spaces such as dating apps and events, pressuring women to sleep with them. And the professional standards person asked me, ‘are you referring to men or trans women?’ And I just said men because let’s face it, they’re all men.”

Upon being informed of other allegations made against her by colleagues, Pieri stated that they were a “pack of lies”, and believed at that point that her relationship with an employer that she was previously proud to have been associated with had “irrevocably broken down”.

She claims: “I was told that discriminatory behaviour in the workplace had not been proven as all my colleagues had been interviewed. However, by that point I felt the relationship with my employer had irrevocably broken down and I just wanted to get out of there. From the first incident, they wanted me out at that point.

“And having that letter of expectations put on my record is almost like a chink in the armour, like as a prelude to try and get rid of me. I’d been in the organisation for three-and-a-half-years and not a single blemish on my record. It was only once I’d raised my head above the parapet and identified myself as gender critical, all of this happened. This was 100 per cent a witch hunt.”

Discussing her next steps, Pieri stressed how the impact of the investigation has left her reputation in “tatters”, and fears she may not secure another job.

She told GB News that she is currently attending counselling after the ordeal left a “huge knock on her self-esteem” – she is also considering legal action.

Pieri concluded: “I really did love that job and I worked so hard, and it feels like my reputation has been left in tatters. I am applying for other jobs now, but at the back of my mind, I’m worried in terms of referencing what will come up, if I might have job offers withdrawn as I’ve now got gross misconduct on my record, and the whole thing seems grossly unfair.”

In a statement, a Norfolk Fire & Rescue spokesperson said: “We do not comment on individual cases of misconduct, and Ms Pieri left the organisation whilst an investigation was ongoing.

“Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service is an inclusive organisation and employer, and we strive for the highest possible standards of conduct and professionalism. We take all allegations of misconduct very seriously, and will investigate any breaches and take appropriate action where required.”

Five more suspects have appeared in court over the brutal attacks on Jewish football supporters in Amsterdam last November, as Western liberal media outlets remain cynically silent on the incident. 

One of the accused, 32-year-old Mounir M., is charged with being the administrator of the WhatsApp group in which the violence was incited and organized. As the court heard, participants in the group encouraged each other to “hunt down Jews.”

Chat messages between the men accused of carrying out acts of targeted violence against Jews were read out during the trial, which confirmed that the horrific attack against supporters of the Maccabi Tel Aviv Israeli football team had been planned well in advance.

Messages such as “[we] may never get this chance [again] to beat up some f***ing Jews,” and “we have to make those cancer Jews feel what they did to our brothers” were shared among the men as they were preparing their brutal attack.

However, Western liberal media outlets have remained silent on the shocking revelations that were unearthed during the trial.

As we previously reported, 20 to 30 people were injured, some of them hospitalized, in November last year after Israeli football fans were attacked by a pro-Palestine mob in Amsterdam following a match between Dutch team Ajax and Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Footage shared widely on social media captured moments of horrifying violence, including assailants demanding that their victims denounce Israel and pledge allegiance to the Palestinian cause. The perpetrators proudly filmed their actions, and evidence later emerged that WhatsApp and Telegram groups had been created in advance to coordinate these attacks.

The assault was decried as a “pogrom” and a “Jew hunt” by conservative leaders, such as Geert Wilders, the leader of the largest Dutch governing party, the Party for Freedom.

Left-liberal politicians and commentators, however, chose to ignore the evidence and instead opted to calling the events “street violence” and “riots” as though both Jews and Arabs had been victims.

In December, five suspects were sentenced for their role in the violence, with the harshest punishment being a stint of six months in prison. Some of the men were said to have incited violence on chat messaging groups, and shared information about the whereabouts of Maccabi fans. Others were sentenced for physical violence, such as kicking their victims in the head or beating them while they were on the ground.

“To the rational observer, it was clear from the start that what happened in Amsterdam was a pogrom,” writes Spiked’s chief political writer, Brendan O’Neill. Yet the leftists remain ignorant or silent about the true nature of the assault and its aftermath.

The pitiless cynicism of so many observers following the Amsterdam pogrom exposed the neo-racist cruelty of identity politics. Their denials of the Jew hunt were fuelled by a warped belief that Jews can never be victims. After all, Jews are part of ‘the privileged’ and Arab migrants are part of ‘the oppressed’. And how can ‘the privileged’ suffer a pogrom at the hands of ‘the oppressed’? They sacrificed the truth of Amsterdam’s Jew hunt at the altar of ideology.

As Raouf Leeraar, Policy Director at Israel Allies Foundation Europe recently told europeanconservative.com:

Initially, there was widespread condemnation of the antisemitic attacks. But as soon as investigations revealed that the perpetrators were predominantly Muslim immigrants, the narrative shifted. Suddenly, the attackers became victims—portrayed as marginalized individuals reacting to discrimination or anger over Gaza—while the actual victims were subtly blamed for their supposed provocation.

To be fair, a mainstream media outlet reported the story this time. On February 20, a week after the attack, Newsweek published an article titled “70 Christians Beheaded in Church: What We Know,” providing key details of the story.

But otherwise, more than two weeks later, one of the most horrific attacks in history against Christians has been completely ignored by the mainstream media.

Open Doors, the leading organization that supports persecuted Christians around the world, reported that the violence in Congo perpetrated by Islamic extremists began around 4 a.m. on Thursday, February 13.

“They went door to door saying, ‘Out, out, don’t make any noise,’” said an elder from a nearby town. “Twenty Christian men and women came out and they tied them up for an unknown destination.” After the 20 were taken, the terrorists surrounded the Christian village and kidnapped 50 more people. Seventy prisoners, men, women, children and elderly people, were taken to a Protestant church in the nearby village of Kasanga, where they were beheaded with machetes. The bodies were discovered the next day.

Only one major religious leader has so far raised his voice and that is the Chief Rabbi of South Africa, Warren Goldstein:

“Seventy people, women, men and children were tied up, taken to the church and beheaded. Beyond the sheer horror of this brutality, the desecration of a church, the monstrosity and cruelty, what is truly shocking is that no one in the world seems to care. Where is the outcry? Where are the headlines? Where are the media? And the governments? And the religious leaders? Where are the Christian leaders crying out for their flock? The terrorists didn’t just murder their Christian victims, they took them to a church to behead them and to send a very clear symbolic message: that this was an act of religious warfare, Jihad, and this is not an isolated incident.

“There is a religious war across the continent against Christians in Africa and every year thousands of Christians are murdered, raped, kidnapped and beheaded for their faith, burned inside their churches across the continent, the scale of the threat is enormous. This means that African Christians are experiencing the brutality of an October 7th all the time and no one seems to care. I have not heard any global Christian leader take up this cause. Where is the World Council of Churches? Where are you? You don’t care? The United Nations doesn’t care? I am a rabbi, why am I the only one raising the plight of Christians?.”

I would have liked to hear as much moral and religious clarity from a bishop on October 7th. Instead, there was nothing.

Anyone who wants visual information on this never-ending slaughter in Africa should go to the website of Memri, the Middle East Media Research Institute, the study center founded by the Israeli analyst Yigal Carmon. They are chilling images, of fields where heads are sawed off, small churches of burned mud and straw, hogtied and mutilated Christians.

“Why is the world silent as Christians are being massacred in the Middle East and Africa?”, wrote in the New York Times Ronald S. Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress. “In Europe and the United States, there have been demonstrations to protest the tragic deaths of Palestinian Arabs who were used as human shields by Hamas. The United Nations has investigated and focused its anger on Israel for defending itself from that same terrorist organization. But the barbaric slaughter of thousands upon thousands of Christians has been met with relative indifference.”

Less than a week after 70 Christians were beheaded by terrorists in the Congo, the Chicago City Council has decided to stand up for African victims of Islamic terrorism and modern slavery. It is the first American political group to take such a stand. The effort to bring the issue of the jihadist massacre to a major American city has been led by a coalition of human rights groups: the African Jewish Alliance, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and StandWithUs, all Jewish organizations.

A book by Wiesenthal Center’s Rabbi Abraham Cooper is titled “The Next Jihad: Stop the Christian Genocide in Africa.”

The voices calling out against the genocide of Christians are more Jewish than Christian. A paradox that tells us a lot about the state of abandonment of the West.

French journalist Christine Kelly is very good at writing about the massacre of the 70 in the Journal du dimanche and warns:

“Let’s stop turning a blind eye to the violence suffered by Christians. Every week in France, churches are looted. These buildings, witnesses to our heritage, our faith, our history, are looted without anyone lifting a finger. What’s worse is that we make these acts invisible. Shut up. Don’t say anything.

“Who talks about the atrocities in Africa in universities? Who demonstrates? Who talks about it on TV? Who talks about it in the European Parliament? The European Commission has not yet appointed a European coordinator to combat Christianophobia. I have seen videos of indescribable horror in which human beings are burned alive in the middle of the street without anyone intervening to help them”.

Meanwhile, Europe lights up its cities with crescents for Ramadan. But it’s pitch black out there.

After prisoners were bragging on TikTok about their Samsung tablets, which were provided free of charge by the French government for €120 million in total, the government is now ending the program in embarrassment.

While the tablets were supposed to come with restrictions, prisoners had already figured out how to bypass these and are streaming music, playing video games, and watching films, which they boasted about on TikTok.

Now, the French Ministry of Justice has suspended funding for the “digital in detention” program. This Saturday, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin requested a moratorium and an audit of the program, with results expected in 15 days. Although nearly half the money has been spent, the government plans to freeze €65 million that has not yet been spent.

French prisoners have smuggled in smartphones for years and corrections staff struggled to control the flow of these goods, but the tablets were installed by prison staff.

“The biggest mistake the prison could have made,” sneered one TikTok user, @rotation_59. “Don’t leave this to me. Your tablets are useful to us for a lot of things now.”

There are approximately 25,000 such devices now in French prisons under the program known as “Digital in Detention.” The goal was to allow prisoners to handle more tasks, such as writing emails to their lawyers, arranging visiting room schedules, manage their prison money, all directly from their prison cell. This was also meant to reduce the burden on corrections officers, who had to arrange a number of tasks for the prisoners before the tablets arrived.

However, prisoners such as rotation_59 began charging other inmates €50 per person for a video tutorial to unlock their devices and get them connected to the internet without restrictions.

Another prisoner spoke to Le Figaro, saying: “We have known for a long time that we were going to have these tablets, but at our place, they were installed about two weeks ago,” he said. “We were told that they would be encrypted and secure, and they are fixed to the cell wall with metal rivets.”

However, many prisoners figured out how to remove the tablets from the walls and circumvent restrictions.

“In fact, all you had to do was reset them, by pressing the power button and the volume button at the same time,” he boasted.

A prestigious French academic publisher, Presses Universitaires de France (PUF), has halted the release of a book criticising “woke ideology” in Western higher education, citing an increasingly hostile political climate.

“We believe that the necessary conditions for a calm and reasoned reception of this collective work are no longer in place,” PUF stated in announcing the suspension on March 10.

The book, titled Face à l’obscurantisme woke (In the Face of Woke Obscurantism), argued that wokism, originating in university humanities departments, was a “militant pseudo-science” that suppressed dissent through intimidation and fosters a “moral panic”.

It further said wokism “fuels communitarianism and fractures the nation [France] into a kaleidoscope of competing identities”.

Backlash from journalists and academics intensified ahead of the book’s planned release and PUF then opted to suspend its publication.

In a message to the book’s co-editors, Emmanuelle Hénin, Xavier-Laurent Salvador and Pierre Vermeren, PUF director Paul Garapon justified the decision as an effort to protect the publisher’s reputation.

“This matter has clearly become political,” Garapon wrote. “In these circumstances, my role is to safeguard PUF from anything that could harm it, and I am therefore compelled to suspend publication.”

Criticism of the book gained traction after historian Patrick Boucheron, speaking at the Collège de France on March 7 during an event for the Stand Up for Science movement, targeted the tome.

“A large part of the media is now dominated by entrepreneurs of inaccuracy and distortion, who claim that the greatest threats we face today are ‘Islamo-leftism’ and ‘wokism’,” Boucheron said.

“There are even some useful idiots within academia. Books continue to be published, including one by PUF titled Face à l’obscurantisme woke, ” he added.

The Stand Up for Science movement was launched to counter the influence of US President Donald Trump and “Trumpism” in science in the US.

For Garapon, the political climate surrounding the book had become too controversial to proceed with its release.

According to him, some critics had targeted PUF due to links the co-editors of the book allegedly had with French Catholic and Conservative billionaire Pierre-Édouard Stérin through his Périclès organisation.

Garapon’s message to the book’s editors underscored the pressure PUF faced: “Some journalists, and not the least influential ones, view the support given by Périclès to the Observatoire de l’éthique universitaire, of which some of you are members, as justification for waging war — not just against the book, but against PUF itself.”

Hénin, Salvador and Vermeren are affiliated with the Observatoire de l’éthique universitaire, formerly known as the Observatoire du décolonialisme, founded in 2021. This initiative, supported by Stérin’s Périclès, advocates academic freedom, secularism and ethical integrity in higher education.

The Observatoire de l’éthique universitaire has positioned itself as a wall against the influence of “decolonial” studies in French academia, which it argued were primarily a vehicle for anti-Western ideology.

According to the group’s website, decolonial movements sought to “dismantle white hegemony in Western civilisation” and serve as the “armed wing of a holy war against the West”.

In France, Sérin has been labelled by left-wingers as the “right-wing George Soros”.

The Périclès’ initiative has funded right-wing organisations and groups such as the magazine L’Incorrect.

In an interview with L’Incorrect on March 11, Hénin explained that the editors wanted to document ideological excesses in research and higher education and publicise the work of the Observatoire de l’éthique universitaire. 

With growing scrutiny over its affiliations and political implications, the book has remained in limbo, caught in a broader cultural battle over free speech, academic integrity and ideological influence in France’s higher-education institutions.

Dismantling Capitalism, Transferring Wealth, Dismantling the West

At the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos this January, Klaus Schwab’s wife, Hilde Schwab, opened the annual meeting with the assertion that Antarctica is melting.

“Antarctica, which holds 91% of the world’s glaciers, faces catastrophic ice loss, contributing to rising sea levels,” she claimed.

That statement is simply not true. According to a recent study, Antarctica gained 661 billion tons of ice during 2009-2019. “The Antarctic continent,” in fact, “has not warmed in the last seven decades.” A December 2024 study, in addition, concluded that “iceberg calving, the detachment of ice blocks from ice sheets and glaciers… a primary process in mass loss from ice shelf systems in Antarctica and a major source of uncertainty in future projections of sea level rise” is not necessarily a consequence of climate change, not even when we’re talking about “extreme calving events”.

The study looked at 47 years of satellite data of Antarctica and found it did not show any trend of increased calving. In plain English, when icebergs break loose in Antarctica, even “extreme calving events should not automatically be interpreted as a sign of ice shelf instability, but are instead representative of the natural cycle of calving front advance and retreat.”

The history of the climate change hoax is littered with lies and predictions that never came to pass. In 1989, for instance, climate hoaxers hyperventilated that, by the year 2000, the Maldives would sink due to rising sea levels. Associated Press, quoting Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the UN Environment Program, reported at the time:

“A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000….

[Brown] said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.

As the warming melts polar icecaps, ocean levels will rise by up to three feet, enough to cover the Maldives and other flat island nations, Brown told The Associated Press….”

Not only are the Maldives still here, but Saudi Arabia, which itself pays lip service to the climate scam, has been heavily investing in airports and other infrastructure in the Maldives. No one invests in sinking islands.

Former US Vice President Al Gore, the High Priest of the climate cult, has been announcing the end of the world for more than four decades now, while becoming increasingly hysterical, culminating at the WEF meeting in 2023 with an outburst in which he claimed, “[Greenhouse gases are] now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day.”

Fortunately, the world does not appear to be burning up Hiroshima-style, and the climate apocalypse is nowhere to be seen. Perhaps the climate hoax is actually not about saving the environment? What is it, then?

The answer was supplied as early as 2015 by Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the UN’s Framework Convention on Climate Change:

“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution.”

That would mean the destruction of capitalism and the world economy, however long that takes. Figueres continued:

“That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 – you choose the number. It just does not occur like that. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation.”

When you consider that the purpose is to dismantle capitalism — and the West in the process — the exorbitantly expensive goals of net-zero make sense. The method, in the words of WEF founder and boss Klaus Schwab, is to have “a great reset.” In 2020, his WEF, unelected and aggressive in shaping agendas as the partner of the UN, linked every actual and potential crisis in the world to “climate action failure.” Failure to address climate change, according to the WEF, would lead to food crises, weather crises and natural disasters, water crises, global governance failure, unemployment and basically the end of the world.

Some environmental problems of pollution are clearly caused by man; the effect of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), as in certain hairsprays for instance, on the ozone layer over the Antarctica. CFCs thin, or make a “hole,” in the planet’s ozone layer that protects the people from harmful ultraviolet rays. There is also the very real man-made problem of insoluble trash in the oceans. Generally, however, the problems of pollution are separate from those of climate change. Whatever can reasonably be done to curb man-made pollution should, of course, be advanced, but sometimes climate change and pollution overlap – seen by many, apparently, as an invitation to muddle and conflate them.

Climate change is largely caused by solar flares. So far, at least, there is not a blessed thing anyone can do about them. Many industries offer grants for papers that support the efficacy of their products that relate to climate change. Solar flares, regrettably, do not offer grants.

Over the past several decades, despite the false predictions, climate hysteria has continued to reach new and unprecedented peaks. In 2019, US House Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez postulated that “the world will end in 12 years unless we address climate change.” In November 2024 former Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry said that a “climate emergency” had to be declared because the “climate crisis” was killing people.

“I think, personally, we’re on the brink of needing to declare a climate emergency, which is what we really have,” Kerry said.

“The climate crisis is killing people. It is knowingly… allowing people to die and affecting them with disease… Every year, millions of people around this planet are dying because fossil fuel and methane emissions [caused] by the way we choose to fuel our vehicles, heat our homes, light our factories.”

Kerry was, by his own logic, willingly “killing” people with his family’s private jet — until August 2022, when he sold it after facing accusations of hypocrisy. Kerry and his family flew on 48 trips and emitted more than 300 metric tons of carbon dioxide in just the 18 months between January 2021 and July 2022. Private jets “are 10 times more carbon intensive than airliners on average, and 50 times more polluting than trains,” according to a 2021 report. Kerry justified his polluting by declaring, unfortunately without a trace of irony, that private jets were the “only choice for somebody like me.”

Some of the world’s foremost climate scam propagandists, in fact, continue to prove with their actions that they actually do not believe the climate hoax: Billionaires Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both fly private jets and own multiple huge, energy-guzzling mansions. Zuckerberg flying on his private jet was found to be emitting 70 tons of CO₂ in just two days last November (equivalent to 15 years of driving for a single car) when flying between his home in California and his new home being constructed in Hawaii. When the global elites arrived in Davos, Switzerland, in 2023 to discuss the urgent need to declare climate emergencies, they did so using more than 150 private jets.

Despite the huge discrepancies between the words and actions of the elites, the legacy media, for decades, has pushed the climate hoax. Anyone who dares to disagree with it is shunned or risks losing their job, including scientists who refuse to adhere to the new orthodoxy. Climate change has become a sort of mandatory cult or, in the words of former Czech President Vaclav Klaus, “a new religion.” As early as 2007, Klaus, who experienced life under communist rule and therefore might have had a heightened sensitivity to attempts at suppressing freedom, warned that not only the climate change cult, but environmentalism in general posed threats to freedom:

“Environmentalism only pretends to deal with environmental protection. Behind their people- and nature-friendly terminology, the adherents to this ideology make ambitious attempts to radically reorganize and change the world, human society, all of us and our behavior, as well as our values.

“There is no doubt that it is our duty to protect rationally the nature for the future generations. The followers of the environmentalist ideology, however, keep presenting to us various catastrophic scenarios with the intention to persuade us to implement their ideas about us and about the whole human society. This is not only unfair but extremely dangerous. What is, in my view, even more dangerous, is the quasi-scientific form that their many times refuted forecasts have taken upon themselves.”

Klaus stressed that environmentalism disguises itself as science. Under this disguise, it attempts to force its precepts on humanity. When it comes to global warming or climate change, that process is made easier: the topic is scientifically complex, which makes it hard for most people to refute the climate scammers:

“[E]nvironmentalism – unlike scientific ecology – does not belong to the natural sciences but is to be classified as an ideology. This fact is, however, not understood by the common people and by numerous politicians.

“The hypothesis of global warming and the role of man in this process is the last and till this day the most powerful embodiment of the environmental ideology. It has brought along many important ‘advantages’ for the environmentalists:

“- an empirical analysis of this phenomenon is very complicated due to the complexity of global climate and the mix of various long-, medium-, and short-term trends (and causes);

“- their argumentation is not based on simple empirical measurements or laboratory experiments, but on sophisticated model experiments working with a range of ill-founded assumptions that are usually hidden and not sufficiently understood…

“What I find much more important is to protest against the efforts of the environmentalists to manipulate people. Their recommendations would take us back into the era of statism and restricted freedom.”

Any journalists or commentators who dare to question or oppose the climate change orthodoxy are immediately shunned as “climate deniers” and met in the legacy media with an instant end to their careers.

In 2013, English botanist David Bellamy spoke out about how he lost his job at the BBC after rejecting the man-made climate change narrative as “poppycock” nearly two decades ago:

“‘From that moment, I really wasn’t welcome at the BBC. They froze me out, because I don’t believe in global warming. My career dried up. I was thrown out of my own conservation groups and I got spat at in London…. And it’s just nonsense. For the last 16 years, temperatures have been going down and the carbon dioxide has been going up and the crops have got greener and grow quicker. We’ve done plenty to smash up the planet, but there’s been no global warming caused by man…. I still say it’s poppycock! If you believe it, fine. But I don’t and there’s thousands like me.”

It is no wonder that the climate change scam won the day. Few people have been willing to risk their livelihoods to fight against the manipulation. Back in 2013, it was still allowed at least to offer facts. According to the Daily Telegraph, the UK’s national meteorological service that year “downgraded its forecast for global warming to suggest that by 2017 temperatures will have remained about the same for two decades.”

Meanwhile, at the latest UN Climate Conference, COP29, which took place in Baku, Azerbaijan in November 2024, the agenda to destroy the world’s economy and the West by forcing wealth redistribution made new strides. Wealthier nations pledged to transfer “at least” a record $300 billion every year to developing countries in their “fight against climate change” by 2035.

That decision was met with derision by developing countries. They apparently demanded $1.3 trillion annually. In the words of energy expert Alex Epstein:

“The basic idea here is what they call ‘climate reparations,’ which is the idea that the US and others have ruined the world with fossil fuels, and so we have to pay a trillion dollars a year to make up for it, which, by the way, if the US paid that, that’s $7,700 per household per year.”

Notably, China retained its status as a “developing country” at the COP29, thereby exposing the enormous extent of the climate hoax. According to the International Energy Agency, “China’s total CO₂ emissions exceeded those of the advanced economies combined in 2020, and in 2023 were 15% higher.” In addition, while China continues to build more coal-fired power plants than the rest of the entire world combined, the West continues on the path of deindustrialization in the name of the climate.

Thankfully, President Donald Trump, once again, has withdrawn the US from the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change. As the past has shown, however, such a withdrawal holds no future guarantees. Trump also withdrew the US from the Paris Agreement during his first term, but President Joe Biden then brought the US back the first chance he got. For this reason, it is crucial that the current US administration do all it can to publish the truth about the climate scam and work towards ending it across the board.

Germany has warned its gender-confused citizens that they will experience difficulty entering the United States if their sex designation listed on their passport does not match the sex on their original birth certificates.  

A German official advised the LGBTQ+ media outlet the Advocate that “transgender and nonbinary individuals traveling from Germany to the United States should contact the responsible U.S. authorities prior to travel to the U.S. to inquire about current entry regulations.”  

In response to Germany’s announcement, another LGBTQ+ media outlet claimed that it was an example of Donald Trump continuing to “terrorize the [so-called] trans community.” 

In February, the U.S. State Department revised policies issued during the Biden administration that accepted designations other than “male” or “female” in the travel documents of foreigners traveling to the U.S.   

Now, those who seek to circumvent the stringent new rules recognizing only two sexes risk not only being denied entrance into the U.S., but a permanent U.S. travel ban.   

“In cases where applicants are suspected of misrepresenting their purpose of travel or sex, you should consider whether this misrepresentation is material such that it supports an ineligibility finding,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio has instructed consular staff. 

When Trump issued an executive order in early February banning men from women’s sports, he authorized Rubio to inform the International Olympic Committee that “America categorically rejects transgender lunacy. We want them to change everything having to do with the Olympics and having to do with this absolutely ridiculous subject.”   

He further directed Homeland Security head Kristi Noem to “deny any and all visa applications made by men attempting to fraudulently enter the United States while identifying themselves as women athletes to try and get into the Games.” 

While at first aimed at foreign athletes seeking to participate in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, the directive is being applied more broadly to all gender-confused foreign travelers seeking to enter the U.S. 

“Each visa applicant is required to establish his or her credibility, identity, and purpose of travel to the satisfaction of the consular officer,” and that consular officers “have the authority to request any information or documents necessary to establish the applicant’s identity and qualifications for the visa,” a U.S. State Department spokesperson told the Advocate.  

“This includes any time there is a discrepancy in the identity documents that an applicant provides,” continued the spokesperson. “To verify an applicant’s sex at birth, the consular officer may consider documents provided by the applicant, including his or her passport or birth certificate and any others as needed.” 

Not only are visas coming under increased scrutiny, but the State Department will also no longer issue U.S. passports with an X gender marker.  

“We are only issuing U.S. passports with a male or female sex marker that matches the applicant’s biological sex as defined in the Executive Order,” said the spokesperson, although “U.S. passports previously issued with an X marker will remain valid for travel until their expiration date.” 

Soon after taking office, Donald Trump signed a sweeping executive order (EO) to rid federal government agencies of gender ideology and another ending diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, both of which took hold and metastasized throughout the government on all levels under Joe Biden’s tenure in office.   

During his inauguration speech in the U.S. Capitol rotunda, Trump said, “I will end the government policy to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”   

“As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders; male and female,” he proclaimed. 

The first EO, named “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” seeks to restore “sanity” and “reality” to how the federal government interprets laws and conducts day-to-day business.   

“What we’re doing today is defining that it is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes: male and female. These are sexes that are not changeable, and they are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality,” a Trump official told reporters.

Conservatives and traditionalists in the Catholic Church still have hope that the next pope will restore Church traditions lost under Pope Francis.

These include the end of the suppression of the Traditional Latin Mass and a less ambiguous papacy when it comes to matters of faith and morals. This hope exists even as a very ill Pope Francis meets with his hospital advisers to craft even greater, radical reforms. His latest edict, for instance, was a letter to liturgists reminding them that the liturgy should be kept simple and that ceremonial pomp should be avoided at all costs.

Simplifying the already Protestantized Mass would reduce it to a ceremonial on a par with Unitarian or a United Church of Christ services.

But what of the pope that will come after Francis, the iconoclast?

It is unlikely he will be a conservative but rather a pope who will further Francis’ revolution in ways that will shock the Catholic world. Francis’ revolution has already been won; the Church just needs a pope who will varnish the woodwork and transform it into a permanent ceramic.

Prophets, psychics, mystics, pundits: all have their views on who will be the next pope. St. Malachy’s (1094-1148) 112 Latin descriptions of future popes from the time of Pope Celestine II (1143-1144) to the present, has Pope Francis as the last pope although the counting from the 12th Century onward gets complicated when one considers the various “anti-popes” in between; this throws Malachy’s prediction off-kilter.

So there may be many popes after Bergoglio. Just because Malachy couldn’t “see” anyone after the last pope on his list, Peter the Roman, doesn’t mean the line of succession ends. The “ending” the saint sees is more likely a foreshadowing of a change in the nature of the papacy, a change so radical that the Chair of Peter becomes unrecognizable in the traditional sense.

What’s most likely to happen is a change in the pope’s role: A switch from sovereign pontiff to mere figurehead with zero administrative power and no say over faith and morals.

Confession: I play psychics like some people play horses. I think I’ve gotten good at it. Most psychics – especially when it comes to politics – are embarrassing; they can’t help but play partisan favorites when they allow their ideological beliefs to influence predictions. The web is full of these charlatans, especially woke women readers who convinced their subscribers that Kamala Harris would coast to victory back in November, or that Donald Trump wouldn’t survive his Inauguration.

Craig Hamilton-Parker, a psychic-medium in the UK, has been right about Donald Trump since 2015. He’s right more than he’s wrong. His impeccable Trump record got me listening to his recent Pope predictions. These predictions confirmed more or less what I felt anyway: He predicts enormous, shocking changes in the Catholic Church sometime after a new pope is elected in 2025.

Though Parker cautions that these changes won’t happen immediately – they will occur over the reign of several popes – when the cycle is complete, the Catholic Church will have reconsidered all of the doctrines developed since the Council of Nicaea while incorporating much of the (formerly rejected) Gnostic Gospels in its belief system.

The end result will be a “democratic” Catholic Church that will draw in large numbers of people of other faiths, “a Church completely transformed.”

Parker has no stake in anything Catholic. He’s more or less an ashram-oriented Hindu, oddly conservative in many ways but true to what he sees whether or not it fits into his belief system.

He sees a future pope kneeling before a saint from the East. He says the saint could be a non-Christian holy person – Pachamama in the flesh? – although he never mentions the possibility of a saint from Eastern Orthodoxy, which makes sense especially if the role of the papacy is reduced to a figure head or a “first among equals,” as it was in the first centuries of The Church.

He believes the next pope will speak German, meaning he could be German, Swiss or Austrian.

“I saw a new pope in 2025,” he says.

“Visions come to me in a flash. They can come unconsciously as a flash. I saw the future pope and I saw that he was speaking in German. He is also associated with the image of a swan. That’s an odd symbol because I’ve never seen swan symbolism associated with the papacy.”

Early last year Parker predicted that Francis would start to become very sick in January 2025. Since he is not one to predict death, he only says that there will be a new pope sometime in 2025.

When he started to name possible new popes he began with a blunder.

He mentioned Cardinal Christoph Schonborn, OP, Archbishop of Vienna from 1995 to 2025. Schonborn retired in January of this year at 80 years old, so his participation in a future papal conclave is not possible.

(Schonborn, it should be noted, was famous for his ecumenical Masses in Vienna’s historic St. Stephen’s Cathedral, where priests and lay participants beat drums and did dances around the high altar.)

While a non-Catholic can be excused for not recognizing when a cardinal is no longer pope material, the prelate Parker puts his money on is Reinhard Marx, Archbishop of Munich and Freising, 71, former head of Germany’s bishops who became controversial when he openly questioned Catholic doctrine.

While Marx’s name should give Christians pause – adult porn meets communist super hero – the ex-theology professor started out as a conservative when he was made a metropolitan-archbishop by Pope Benedict XVI in 2007. Marx was then elevated to the cardinalate in 2010. With the election of Pope Francis in 2013, Marx shed his conservatism and became a radical proponent of welcoming migrants and heralding the dangers of climate change. On a 2016 trip to Israel as head of Germany’s bishops, he hid his pectoral cross — an action that many critics called a “denial of faith.”

Marx’s critics say he has a “history of opportunism” and that he’s “driving the Church into schism and secular meaninglessness.” Bishop Joseph Strickland of Texas said in 2022 that “Cardinal Marx has left the Catholic faith.” Marx is famous for his statement that the Catholic catechism “is not set in stone.” In May 2015 he hosted the “secret synod” at Pontifical Gregorian University in order to sway the larger Synod on the Family to accept his contention that homosexuality is not a sin and the Church must “normalize same-sex relations based on a theology of Love.”

Marx also believes the Church should sanction same-sex encounters, like chance meetings in bars or steam baths.

He believes the question of women’s priesthood should remain open.

In Germany he is a vocal critic of that country’s conservative Alternative for Germany Party. The year 2018 saw him celebrating the 200th birthday of Karl Marx. On many occasions he has stated that Catholic teaching owes a lot to the writings of Karl Marx.

Parker also mentions papal contenders Cardinal Kurt Koch of Basel, Switzerland, a noted ecumenist, Cardinal Willem Jacobus Eijk of the Netherlands, and Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki of Cologne.

Cardinal Woelki, although head of the conservative minority of bishops in Germany, has stated that same sex couples in long faithful relationships should be able to have their relationships blessed by a priest in the same manner as heterosexual couples. Woelki, however, once reprimanded a priest for blessing same sex couples and he once preached that homosexuality was against “the order of creation”. The theological struggle going on in Woelki’s head is more than obvious; the switch-hitting is perhaps the result of the pressure he was under from the German media to be more like Cardinal Marx.

As for the two remaining German speaking cardinals, only one is authentically conservative, Cardinal Eijk, who has a license in moral theology and a doctorate in philosophy. He also happens to be a physician of internal medicine and has a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. A truly saintly intellect, in 2001 he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. Some believe the hemorrhage was caused by his intense work in attempting to stem the tide of the increasing secularization and loss of faith in Dutch society.

But according to the Hindu sage Parker, it is definitely Marx who will win the crown, the cardinal who has been called “a lightning rod in Francis’ papacy.”

The German progressives, who have already been famously scolded by President Trump for their short-sighted and suicidal reliance on Russian energy—which led to a historical energy crisis—are reminding us how slow on the uptake they really are as news emerges that their dependence on hostile foreign nations for crucial infrastructure needs is once again biting them in the rear.

Credit to Jo Nova, who came across the story first, but according to an article at Politico, a new report commissioned by the German government concluded that buying wind turbines for their “green” energy schemes from China wasn’t such a great idea—the threat of political coercion and sabotage is so high, that the recommendation is to restrict Chinese turbine use, and halt a new project currently underway. Nova perfectly summarizes Germany’s late-to-the-party epiphany:

After six separate incidents of underwater cables being sabotaged in the Baltic Sea, the German Defense Ministry is wondering if it is wise to buy Chinese wind turbines with all their electronic parts.

(Of course, this isn’t to suggest that wind turbines are necessary components in an energy grid, but they are when you’ve essentially banished reliable and affordable energy like gas, oil, and coal.)

Victor Jack, author of the Politico item, includes a passage from the government’s report:

‘A destabilization of both the political system, the business model of German industry and social cohesion cannot therefore be ruled out due to a lack of or insufficient planning security in the energy sector,’ it [the report] adds.

Oh, you mean to tell us that the “green” energy “transition” wasn’t exactly “sufficiently” planned or considered? Well I’ll be!

Eliminating reliable and affordable energy, at a time of historically high (government-created) inflation, using public money to prop up an energy industry to the tune of billions? I mean seriously, how failed do ideas have to be in the energy sector to be unsuccessful? It’s a product/service that essentially everyone in the world, developed and undeveloped alike, uses.

Transitioning from reliable and affordable energy to technologies that are basically still in the prototype stage as they’re all too often rife with design and material problems?

I could go on… and on… and on.

What’s most tragic is the supreme idiocy of the German progressives isn’t contained to Germany, or even the European continent—it’s the common thread of all leftist greenies—and we have to personally contend with these asinine policies and ideas too.
