US Terror Designations Hit International Left-wing Extremists Hard

Antifa in the US has been inspired by and in proven cases built up by European AFA, but the knives and batons have recently been replaced with semi-automatic rifles. They have gone from threatening and assaulting to outright murders with firearms. The mainstream media has completely covered this up while trying to paint a false picture of a threat from “gun-crazy right-wing extremists”. Photo: X

Since US President Donald Trump designated Antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization” in 2025, the US government has gradually begun to take left-wing extremism seriously. The latest step in that process occurred in late August when the US State Department chose to designate Autistici/Inventati (A/I Collective), an Italian left-wing extremist group that has acted as a web host for ideological like-minded people around the world, as a terrorist organization.

In this way, the US State Department was able to access thousands of left-wing extremist websites and blogs that were run in both the US and Europe.

“Today, the United States sanctioned several transnational far-left terrorist networks, including Autistici/Inventati — a large far-left tech collective whose services are used by the most active and violent Antifa cells in the United States and around the world,” said US Secretary of State Rubio on the same day.

“There will be no safe haven for violent extremists who wage war on our civilization and plot to undermine law and order, destroy critical infrastructure, attack political opponents, or conspire to hide their crimes from authorities,” he promised. “We will use every tool and authority at our disposal to combat terrorism and protect our way of life from terrorist threats.”

The results were quickly noticeable. 16,000 email addresses, 1,500 websites, 5,500 mailing lists and a network of around 10,000 blogs used by various left-wing extremist groups from both Europe and the US were initially rendered unusable. A/I lost access to bank accounts and was forced to announce as recently as last weekend that it was closing down operations.

When US President Donald Trump chose to classify left-wing extremist groups belonging to Antifa as collectively belonging to a “domestic terrorist organization” on September 22, 2025, it was a turning point regarding the US president’s acceptance of left-wing extremists compared to Trump’s predecessors.

“I am pleased to inform our many American patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, LEFT-WING DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also strongly recommend that those who fund ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and methods,” Trump wrote in a social media post regarding the presidential order.

It has given US authorities greater powers to counter them, although they cannot be banned under US law, which has far-reaching protections for citizens to organize politically.

Because of this, many have claimed that Trump’s terror rhetoric would only be a blow in the air, partly because left-wing extremists have long made a big deal out of the fact that Antifa is not a standardized hierarchical organization with leadership or a membership register, but instead consists of loosely gathered left-wing extremists from other organizations and parties who organize themselves into cell structures to carry out attacks or actions against political opponents.

However, history shows that being part of terrorist cells, regardless of what they are called, has not been able to provide complete protection for left-wing extremists. To circumvent these obstacles, the American state has instead chosen to focus on foreign Antifa groups, which have supported each other’s illegal activities through various forms of networking, economics and exchange.

FWM has written about how the US State Department has already classified several European left-wing extremist groups as global terrorist organizations, including the infamous “Hammer League” from Germany, which specialized in cowardly and brutal attacks on lone victims. Now, new terror classifications have been made and have had a major impact.

On August 26, the US State Department designated three left-wing extremist organizations as terrorist organizations:

  • Palestine Action in the UK, which is linked to direct actions and damage to Israeli interests and primarily pursues a pro-Palestinian agenda, but with extensive convergence with other left-wing extremist groups in terms of organization.
  • Masar Badil , a transnational Palestinian left-wing organization described as a front for more radical left-wing extremist organizations linked to the Palestinian struggle, was also designated a terrorist organization.
  • The third organization classified as a terrorist organization was the Italian-based Autistici/Inventati (A/I Collective) , which is considered to have extensive connections to several international left-wing and anarchist extremist groups, not least several of the most prominent American organizations such as Rose City Antifa, Stop Cop City and Against Beltway Fascism.

Among other things, Autistici/Inventati, which was founded in 2001 and describes itself as a technological collective focused on helping “activists and social movements,” provided a digital infrastructure for left-wing extremist organizations in several parts of the world. It functioned as a web host, offering encrypted websites and services to its ideological followers.

“Autistici/Inventati (the A/I collective) is an extremist group based in Italy that builds and operates the digital infrastructure for violent Antifa cells and other far-left militants worldwide. A/I’s cadre of radical hackers and technology developers provides a full spectrum of services—including encrypted chat and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming, anonymity protection, and a suite of other technological tools—to Marxist, anarchist, and other far-left groups in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere. These tools are specifically designed to support the operations of far-left terrorist networks, built to enable them to organize, recruit, communicate, disseminate propaganda, share targeting information and tactics, and carry out violent attacks—all while remaining anonymous, untraceable, and beyond the reach of the law,” the U.S. State Department wrote in a statement accompanying the decision.

According to the US State Department, Rose City Antifa urged its members and activists on websites run via Italian servers hosted by Autistici/Inventati to “attack ICE everywhere, on the streets, in their homes” and also “to find each other, make plans, and strike them where it hurts the most.”

Founded Antifa in the US. Caroline Victorin, a Swedish AFA veteran, started Rose City Antifa in Portland, Oregon in 2007. Here she is seen with her husband Johan Victorin, who is also active in AFA/Antifa. The couple had to flee the US because of their criminal activities and now live in Sweden. Photo: Private

The services were also used to hang out government officials and agents and their families within the US immigration agency ICE. Several of the people who were hung out were subsequently subjected to various forms of attacks, threats and attempted murder. This must be seen in the light of several violent attacks on ICE personnel and facilities, including a violent attack carried out by heavily armed Antifa members on an immigration detention center in the state of Texas in 2025. During the largely unsuccessful attack, which was carried out with bombs and firearms, a police officer was shot in the neck and seriously injured. Nine Antifa members were arrested after the attack and were sentenced in July of this year to long prison sentences of between 30 and 100 years for their participation in the crimes.

In an initial statement, A/I was combative, saying that the classification of them as terrorists was unfounded. Although they support “anti-fascism,” they said they had no responsibility for what hundreds of left-wing extremists did with the websites they provided.

“The US has defined us as terrorists on non-legal grounds. They want to freeze our servers and our accounts with a stroke of a pen from Washington. They are trying to wipe us out in a unilateral decree – an arbitrary one.”

But the terrorist designation still had almost immediate effects. On August 28, the group’s .org domain was suspended, making access to their websites impossible. On the same day, an unknown party managed to hack their network and gain access to the user database, all email addresses, and other critical information. At the same time, donation accounts at Paypal stopped working for the organization. Shortly thereafter, the organization’s Italian bank froze their accounts.

The pressure quickly grew and on September 6th, A/I announced that operations would cease and the organization would be closed down.

“The possibility that our work could have legal and financial consequences for those close to us — or even just have something to do with us — leaves us with no choice,” A/I wrote. “Under these circumstances, we can no longer maintain our original mission — to provide safe and non-commercial digital tools.”

Until September 25th, certain, severely limited functions, such as only being able to read and save already published texts, will be available to all the thousands of left-wing extremists who have used their services, after which these will also be shut down.

One of the left-wing extremists who claims to have been affected is Anne Roth, a member of parliament for the German Left Party and one of the founders of the left-wing extremist network Indymedia. When her husband was under investigation for his role in a terrorist-classified left-wing extremist group, she started a blog via A/I’s web hosting. “Two decades of blogging are lost,” she now laments on social media, writing that “it feels like someone is stealing my home from me – my online home.”

One of the effects of the terrorist classification of A/I is that those who, for example, call for donations, or donate money to the operation themselves, may now themselves be classified as terrorists by the American state. For American citizens, this means up to twenty years in prison and a fine of up to 10 million kronor. For citizens of other countries, this means a risk of being subjected to the same measures that affected A/I.

Canadian woman approved for assisted suicide because she could no longer cook Sunday dinner

Medforth AI

The narrative that Canada’s euthanasia regime is carefully regulated, largely restricted to the dying, and that the regularly reported horror stories are merely sensationalist anomalies has received yet another blow. On October 5, psychiatrists Gary Rodin and Madeline Li laid out their fears in a New York Times op-ed titled “We Implemented Canada’s Assisted Dying Law. We’re Concerned.”

Rodin and Li emphasize that they are both supporters of assisted suicide in principle. Both have “counseled patients about the procedure and assessed whether they were eligible,” and one has “administered the drugs to end patients’ lives.” More than that, they wrote, “together, we created an institutional framework that determined how one of Canada’s largest medical centers would respond to requests for assisted death.” Now, they have fears – and their analysis is devastating to the defenses of Canada’s regime.

“But Canada’s system for assisted death is no longer an option of last resort,” they wrote. “Too many people are receiving the procedure without the opportunity for careful reflection about it with a health provider. In some cases, patients are being approved who should not be. Reports have emerged of people seeking assisted death in the context of poverty or loneliness, raising concerns that they may feel they have no other options.” Even for their cancer patients, they state, “there’s a risk of rushing into it and shortening what can be a meaningful period in patients’ lives.”

That is carefully worded, but read it again. People are being rushed into euthanasia. People who should not be approved are being approved. People are seeking lethal injections because they cannot get what they need, because they are poor, because they feel as if they are a burden. That is precisely what those of us who oppose euthanasia said would happen a decade ago, and what we have been reporting on ever since.

Rodin and Li noted that Canada’s regime is now “one of the most permissive in the world, allowing assisted dying for almost any form of subjectively intolerable suffering that has a medical basis, or even for medically unexplained physical symptoms.” This has resulted in a euthanasia rate that amounts to 5 percent of Canada’s annual deaths. Since 2016, we have seen a silent, sterile bloodbath in this country. Rodin and Li noted that in their view, this is because assisted suicide activists have largely been in the driver’s seat when it comes to policy. Other medical professionals, they stated, share their concerns.

Rodin and Li cited the example of a woman in her 70s who was approved for assisted suicide because she had lost the ability to cook for her family. She had enjoyed cooking big Sunday dinners for her family and felt that she had lost her value when she could no longer do so.

“She sought and received approval for assisted dying after she lost the ability to cook,” Rodin and Li wrote. “She felt she had lost her value to her family. Through counseling, she came to understand that her family valued who she was, not what she did for them. She decided not to go through with ending her life, at least for now. That Christmas, her family gathered and she sat proudly at the table, while others did the cooking and serving.”

She should never have been approved in the first place. Again: When stories like this are reported, legions of Canadians online immediately insist that they are not happening.

French Riots, Islamic Terrorism, and Civil War

by J.B. Shurk

The propaganda press continue to lie about the fiery riots spreading across France.  Both European and American outlets have described the violent insurrections as spontaneous gatherings of students who are upset about dilapidated, overcrowded schools and poor curricula.  

These descriptions reek of CNN’s attempt to portray Black Lives Matter and Antifa’s 2020 summer of mass arson, looting, and murder in the United States as “fiery but mostly peaceful protests.”  The BLM/Antifa attacks caused more property damage than any other riots in American history.

What’s going on in France could end up being much worse than the BLM/Antifa terrorism in the U.S.  French revolutionaries have been burning down schools and setting public buses and fire trucks ablaze.  They have looted shops and stalked and preyed on women walking alone.  They have attacked strangers with fireworks, mortars, and hydrochloric acid.  They have beaten numerous teachers, doused some in gasoline, and set a few on fire.  They have injured hundreds of law enforcement officers and firefighters, as well as students who want nothing to do with the mayhem.  One witness to the destruction described the scene as “total anarchy” and “total war.”

While the propaganda press pretend that this war is merely a “student uprising,” pictures and video tell a different story.  The perpetrators/revolutionary soldiers are young, but most are not white.  They appear Middle Eastern or North African.  They chant, “We are all antifascists!”  They carry Hamas and other foreign flags.  Whether they are French citizens or not, these thugs have nothing but contempt for French authorities.

One murderous group kicked and beat a young female police officer for sport.  As the gang chased and tripped the trainee-cop to the ground, her attackers screamed, “Bitch!” and, “Kill her!”  They nearly succeeded.  Video of that incident prompted fierce open-borders-opponent Marine Le Pen to write, “The image of this young policewoman, pursued by a pack howling its hatred, thrown to the ground and assaulted, is unbearable.”  

In another incident, attackers wearing masks and hoods chased, knocked down, and beat a police officer until he was unconscious.  The masked revolutionaries continued to kick the unconscious officer in the head and nearly killed him.  The local police union described the attempted murder bluntly: “This is no longer anti-cop hatred.  IT IS A HUNT FOR COPS.”

The propaganda press insist that these violent riots have nothing to do with anti-white racism or Islamic supremacy.  It is an unassailable fact, though, that almost every victim of these predatory attacks has been a white native of France.  French politician, pundit, and essayist Éric Zemmour argues, “This has nothing to do with bad school conditions.  Plain and simple.  These are ethnic riots, and demographics is destiny.  Without remigration, this is the fate of all Western European nations.”

Jordan Bardella, president of France’s National Rally political party, has called the riots “barbaric” and “an expression of extreme violence against representatives of the state, and of a hatred of France that we must fight without weakness.”

Regional authorities representing France’s Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur released this statement: “Mortar fire at staff, vehicle fires, gates torn down, stoning and intolerable intrusions: this is not protest….Those who burn our high schools are attacking the Republic.”

The regional president of Pays de la Loire, Christelle Morançais, wrote: “The same wreckers everywhere.  The same violence everywhere.  The same political exploitation everywhere.  This is not the youth of France.” 

Over at The Federalist, John Daniel Davidson writes, “The riots in France last week stand as a warning to the United States and all western countries: mass immigration will split your country in two, and the two sides will eventually go to war.”

If these violent riots are not the first battles in a French civil war, then they are at least a dress rehearsal for the main event.  As Zemmour and Davidson argue, what is happening in France will eventually spread across the West.

British political activist, writer, and free speech advocate Paul Weston posted a disturbing assessment of the dangers that loyal citizens of the United Kingdom face: 

“Just to make you fully aware of our position as white Brits living in Britain: 250,000 armed Islamic men could wipe out most of the population of Britain within 48 hours.  Communism and Islam killed millions in the 20th century.  Our current Home Secretary is a revolutionary communist and Islamic fundamentalist.  She is now engaged in importing weapons trained Palestinians and Afghans.  250k possible Afro-Islamic soldiers illegally crossed the channel over the last few years and now reside, at vast government expense, in military barracks and hotels strategically placed across the country.”

On Sunday, for instance, British police officers cleared the streets of an entire town and confined residents to their homes, so that they could assist foreign nationals arriving on another illegal migrant boat from France.  Strikingly, this police action occurred in the Royal Navy harbor towns of Gosport and Portsmouth, where many patriotic British veterans live.  A Reform UK member of the Hampshire County Council, George Madgwick, called it “heartbreaking” and further evidence that “Britain is broken.”  British authorities went out of their way to restrict the freedoms of patriotic Brits, while aiding human traffickers in their smuggling operations.  Securing the pipeline of military-aged Muslims moving from France to the U.K. is apparently more important than securing Britain’s borders and keeping the kingdom’s people safe.

Weston observes that the British government has spent an enormous amount of time and money moving an army inside of the kingdom that puts the British people in an incredible amount of danger.  The “conditions DO exist for mass slaughter,” and the government is responsible.  Weston believes the outrageous expense and massive logistical considerations required to transport so many hostile foreign nationals into the United Kingdom suggest that authorities are intentionally and malevolently endangering the public.

Over at the Conservative Treehouse, Sundance notes that the French rioters/revolutionaries have called for renewed attacks on what’s being called Tuesday’s “National Day of Action.”  That date rolls right into the macabre anniversary of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.  

Although the propaganda press have defended Hamas terrorists as “freedom fighters” and “soldiers,” they are nothing of the sort.  They are vile rapists, torturers, and mass murderers.  Forced to confront the efforts of complicit members of the press to hide “the horrors that Hamas carried out,” Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu released a small sample of gruesome photographs three years ago that showed “babies murdered and burned by the monsters of Hamas.”  

Then-U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was shocked by the brutality: “Babies slaughtered.  Bodies desecrated.  Young people burned alive.  Women raped.  Parents executed in front of their children, children in front of their parents.” 

Israeli security forces later published videos of interrogations in which Hamas terrorists admitted that they had been ordered to dismember and decapitate everyone and to rape the women, including corpses.  Human Rights Watch has condemned Hamas’s grotesque actions on October 7 as “war crimes” and “crimes against humanity.”

Nevertheless, the propaganda press largely excused Hamas’s barbarity and has continued to describe the Islamic terrorists sympathetically, while condemning Israel’s subsequent self-defense.  

Hamas supporters are rioting across France.  Hamas supporters have been transported across the U.K. and placed in government-provided housing.  Hamas supporters control towns across much of Europe.

Sundance looks at this boiling cauldron of future bloodshed and warns Westerners everywhere — particularly those in France and the U.K. — to expect Islamic terror attacks on October 6 and 7.  He argues that the recent arrest of military-aged males outside the RAF Fairford base was likely a rehearsal for an attack meant for this week.  

Remain vigilant.  Be prepared.  Stay safe.  Due to the suicidal actions of Western governments, the enemy is already inside the gates (and most likely receiving taxpayer-funded food, stipends, and housing).

Afghan nationals jailed after grooming and raping teenage girl in Bristol before ‘celebrating’ fleeing Britain

Mehrab Safi, Awal Ahmadzai and Salman Habibkheil were sentenced today | HANDOUT

Three Afghan nationals who fled the country after grooming and raping a teenage girl in Bristol in November 2025 were sentenced at Bristol Crown Court today.

Mehrab Safi, 21, Awal Ahmadzai, 19, and Salman Habibkheil, 19, filmed themselves “celebrating” as they escaped the UK in the back of a lorry three days after they, and an Afghan boy, 17, who cannot be named for legal reasons, raped the girl, 17.

Mehrab Safi has been handed a prison sentence of 15 years after being found guilty of one count of human trafficking and two charges of rape.

Salman Habibkheil has been sentenced to nine years detention after a jury found him guilty of one count of human trafficking and one charge of rape.

Awal Ahmadzai was sentenced to nine years detention after being found guilty of one charge of rape and one of assault by penetration.

A 17-year-old boy, who is also an Afghan national, was found guilty of one count of rape and sentenced to three years detention, minus 104 days already spent in custody.

Sentencing, His Honour Judge Cullum, said: “Having been trafficked for the purpose of committing a sexual offence she was raped five times and subjected to a sexual assault by penetration. The accumulative trauma will undoubtedly live with her forever, and is unimaginable.”

The four Afghan defendants communicated through an interpreter, and spoke only to confirm their names.

Some of the defendants were seen smiling and waving at friends sitting in the public gallery for the sentencing.

The attack happened days after the girl had met Safi while Christmas shopping with a friend in Bristol city centre.

Safi groomed the girl on Snapchat – including asking for nude photos from her – before arranging for a taxi to bring her to Bristol in the early hours of November 30.

At the property, the girl was provided with cigarettes and vodka before being raped by Safi and Habibkheil.

After falling asleep, she was raped and sexually assaulted by Ahmadzai and then raped by the 17-year-old boy.

Later that morning the girl was raped again by Safi.

Police had traced the girl to a house in the St Werburghs area of Bristol after her mother reported her missing and arrested the 17-year-old defendant when he answered the door to the property.

The three older co-accused fled the house as the police arrived and travelled to both Birmingham and London.

Edd Hetherington, prosecuting, said: “You might have heard reports from time to time about people concealing themselves in the back of a lorry and crossing the Channel,” he said.

“In a deeply unusual turn of events, the defendants Safi, Habibkheil and Ahmadzai, chose to use this mode of transportation to leave the UK rather than enter.

“Unfortunately for them, they were discovered by the French police in Calais.

”They were then returned to the UK and immediately arrested by the police on suspicion of rape.

The defendants had denied all the charges, claiming it was consensual, but the jury found them all guilty after two days of deliberations.

Detective Chief Inspector Matt Cable of Avon and Somerset Police, speaking after the case, said: “These four people exploited a vulnerable young girl purely for the purposes of their own sexual gratification.

“They are dangerous individuals who pose a significant threat to young women and girls and gave not a single thought to the welfare of the victim.”

Sally Helliwell, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: “The young victim in this case was targeted, groomed, and then lured to an unfamiliar city, miles from home in the dead of night.

“Isolated and alone, she was plied with alcohol and then raped and abused over several hours by four different people.

“It was clear throughout that she did not consent.

“Thankfully, the three men who fled in such a cowardly manner were swiftly returned to the UK to face justice.”

Germany Arrests Spy Boss and His Former Chief of Staff For Treason, Espionage

August Hanning.Screengrab .youtube

The reputation of the German government has been shaken by abject scandal after it arrested its own former national intelligence chief under “strong suspicion of espionage constituting treason”.

The former President of the Federal Intelligence Service [Bundesnachrichtendienst, BND] Dr. August Hanning was arrested in a dawn raid on his home on Tuesday morning and taken away in a black van over allegations that he had stolen thousands of intelligence documents to sell to foreign powers.

80-year-old Hanning held a series of senior positions in the German government over a long and distinguished career, but as reported by best-selling newspaper Bild he has lately experienced “considerable financial difficulties” after a bank he was on the board of collapsed. During the Cold War Hanning was West Germany’s de facto ambassador to Communist East Germany, and from 1998 to 2005 was the President of the BND.

From 2005 to 2009, he held a supervisory role overlooking German intelligence agencies as the State Secretary of the Federal Interior Ministry of the Federal Republic of Germany under Chancellor Angela Merkel.

According to Die Welt, it is alleged by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office that from 2010 Hanning paid his former chief of staff, ‘Manfred D.’, who remained in the intelligence service and served under subsequent BND Presidents, to pass him documents that Hanning would then sell on to foreign clients under the guise of being an independent security consultant. It is claimed that Hanning bought almost 2,000 secret German intelligence files and their intended destinations included foreign intelligence agencies.

Which countries were buying these reports was not made clear in the government press release, but Bild reports Hanning is said to have had links with Russia and China including an alleged “direct line” to the Kremlin. The Welt report states the case has links to Israeli intelligence, and that a government source had previously identified him as an informant for Russian intelligence.

The paper noted it had previously put that specific allegations to Hanning and that he had denied it.

August Hanning was arrested on suspicion of “treasonous espionage, uncovering state secrets, attempted treason, and intelligence activity”, and Manfred D., who remained an employee of the BND until Spring 2026, was arrested on suspicion of “aiding and abetting attempted treason and treasonous espionage”. Both are due to appear before a judge this week. Police raided addresses in Bavaria, North-Rhine Westfalia, and Berlin, including Hanning’s home near Münster.

‘Sexual predator’ – 19-year-old Moroccan beat and raped 54-year-old woman, committed other sexual assaults

Italian prosecutors have asked a court to sentence a 19-year-old man of Moroccan origin who holds Italian citizenship to 14 years and eight months in prison, calling him a “sexual predator” in a case involving the rape, beating and robbery of a 54-year-old woman and two earlier attempted sexual assaults.

The request came Monday in an abbreviated trial before a Modena court, according to Il Resto del Carlino. Prosecutor Ilaria Corbelli sought the term due to aggravated sexual violence, injuries and robbery.

The main attack occurred Aug. 19, 2025, on the Vivi Natura path in San Damaso, a district of Modena. Investigators say the defendant, who had no prior record, approached the woman while his face was covered, dragged her into some bushes, bound her, and sexually assaulted her. He also stole her electric bicycle.

After the assault he placed a cord around her neck, she told authorities.

“Now that you’ve seen me, I’ll kill you,” the defendant threatened, according to the victim’s lawyer, Peter Martinelli, who has asked the judge to return the case file so prosecutors can add an attempted murder charge.

Martinelli cited the cord, the pressure on her neck and the injuries.

The same defendant is accused of attempted sexual assaults on Feb. 12 in Castelfranco Emilia and on May 23 near the Sant’Anna lakes, close to the site of the August attack. Police identified him in part through the 54-year-old woman’s description and an identikit she helped produce shortly after the assault.

A court-appointed psychiatric expert, Matilde Forghieri, concluded he was fully capable of understanding and willing his actions at the time. The report also noted a significant cognitive deficit. The defendant has confessed to the offenses, defense lawyer Enrico Fontana said.

“For us this is an excessive and disproportionate sentence,” Fontana said. “We do not dispute our client’s responsibility, which he has confessed. We will ask that he be sentenced to a just penalty provided by law for these facts.”

Fontana said the defendant, who was 19 at the time, attempted suicide in jail and handed over a handwritten letter of apology to the victims and his family.

The 54-year-old woman attended the hearing.

“It is hard to relive that day. I have confidence in the judge’s decision,” she said. She also thanked the mobile police squad led by Mario Paternoster for the investigation that led to the arrest. In comments reported by Gazzetta di Modena, she said, “That man should stay in prison. To women, I say report it; trust the institutions.”

The judge is expected to rule on Nov. 2.

Hungarian Footballer and a Member of Parliament Blacklisted by Ukraine

Balázs Hidvéghi. Photo: Facebook/Hidvéghi Balázs

FIDESZ has called on Foreign Minister Anita Orbán and Prime Minister Péter Magyar to take diplomatic action after Balázs Hidvéghi, along with Milos Kerkez, was added to Ukraine’s “black list.” Foreign Minister Anita Orbán has since condemned the stigmatization, blacklisting, and threats directed at Milos Kerkez, a defender on the Hungarian national soccer team, and Balázs Hidvéghi, a FIDESZ member of the National Assembly.

In a statement on Monday, the opposition party wrote that it calls on the prime minister and the foreign minister to immediately take the necessary diplomatic steps, restore Hungary’s prestige, and reject Ukraine’s unfriendly actions.

They stated that the Ukrainian leadership “views Péter Magyar and his government as clowns.” By openly listing not only a national soccer player but also a member of the National Assembly on the list of Ukraine’s enemies, Ukraine is clearly demonstrating its dominance “over the weak, powerless, Brussels-friendly Hungarian government,” they added.

According to FIDESZ, this is the result of Péter Magyar and the TISZA government’s unprincipled, submissive foreign policy, which seeks to repay the support provided during the campaign—as well as the EU funds to which Hungary is already entitled—through compromise and subservience.

They called it unprecedented that a member of the National Assembly is being threatened and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs remains silent.

The Russian state news agency TASS previously reported that Milos Kerkez, a defender on the Hungarian national soccer team, had also been added to the list on a website called Mirotvorec (Peacemaker), which has been operating in Kyiv since 2014. The database, created following the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, publishes information on individuals it considers to be “enemies of Ukraine” or pro-Russian.

The Hungarian left back and his father were added to the list after he got into an altercation with a Ukrainian player during the Hungary-Ukraine Nations League match (0-1) in late September, and his father later posted a video of the incident on social media with music by a Russian rap group playing in the background.

Balázs Hidvéghi, a FIDESZ member of the National Assembly, called it a disgrace at a press conference in early October that the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs had not stood up for Milos Kerkez and his father.

On Monday evening, Anita Orbán wrote on her Facebook page: “I strongly condemn the stigmatization, any form of blacklisting, or potential threats against Hungarian citizens—Milos Kerkez and Balázs Hidvéghi.” She said she had held discussions throughout the weekend with Ukrainian officials, the Hungarian Football Federation, the embassy, and her colleagues to help resolve the situation.

German bishop to share gay couples’ ‘experiences’ at Leo’s Amoris Laetitia summit

The president of the German Bishops’ Conference (DBK) promised to bring the “experiences” of homosexual couples with him to Rome for the Vatican’s upcoming conference on Amoris Laetitia.

Bishop Heiner Wilmer, the DBK president, said that he prepared for the Vatican summit by meeting with a wide variety of couples – including same-sex couples and those living in a second civil marriage after a divorce – according to the German language news outlet katholisch.de.  

Bishop Wilmer’s stated intention to bring those experiences with him to the Vatican meeting signals a continued movement toward normalizing homosexuality within the Catholic Church.

Both Pope Francis and his successor, Pope Leo XIV, have welcomed LGBT proponents Father James Martin, S.J. and New Ways Ministry in private audiences.      

The Vatican’s upcoming conference will be held from October 7 to 14, exposing a tightly controlled structure designed to examine Pope Francis’ apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia by how the document has been “lived.”

Earlier this year, Pope Leo XIV praised Amoris Laetitia as a guiding text for the Church and signaled his intention to honor Pope Francis’ highly controversial apostolic exhortation, elements of which many consider to be heretical.  

In March, Pope Leo issued a message marking the 10th anniversary of Amoris Laetitia in which he described Francis’ post-synodal apostolic exhortation as a “luminous message of hope” and confirmed its central role in contemporary teaching on marriage and the family.

“On 19 March 2016, Pope Francis offered the universal Church a luminous message of hope regarding conjugal love and family life,” Pope Leo wrote. “On this tenth anniversary, we give thanks to the Lord for the stimulus that has encouraged reflection and pastoral conversion in the Church, and ask God for the courage to persevere on this path.”

In the Pope’s message, he explicitly placed Amoris Laetitia alongside Familiaris Consortio issued by John Paul II. “Since the Council, the two Apostolic Exhortations, Familiaris Consortio – issued by Saint John Paul II in 1981 – and Amoris Laetitia, have both strengthened the Church’s doctrinal and pastoral commitment to the service of young people, married couples and families.”

Contradicting John Paul II and many others, Amoris Laetitia states that “it can no longer simply be said that all those in any irregular situation are living in a state of mortal sin and are deprived of sanctifying grace. More is involved here than mere ignorance of the rule.”

In a searing analysis penned for LifeSiteNews in 2018, a priest who required anonymity maintained that Amoris Laetitia’s infamous Chapter 8 that allows individual conscience to trump objective moral law would effectively eliminate the notion of intrinsic moral evil.

“The real issue is not Holy Communion for the divorced and civilly remarried. After all, Pope Francis had already streamlined the annulment process, to allow declarations of nullity which were generally easy to attain, to be even easier,” he wrote.  

“The real issue is all about sodomy, and normalizing – even blessing – this behavior called by the Catechism ‘intrinsically disordered’” he explained.

Ballot Box Jihad: The Non-Violent Conquest of the West

GROK

“This could be the first election in Sweden where the Muslim immigration that we have had is decisive in a parliamentary election,” predicted the leader of the Sweden Democrats, Jimmie Åkesson, days before Sweden’s election on September 13.

He was right. Sweden’s center-right Sweden Democrats government indeed lost the elections by a razor-thin margin – reportedly just 50,000 votes – corresponding to just three seats in parliament.

The next government will almost certainly be a socialist one.[1]

“Voters who, or whose parents, grew up outside Europe overwhelmingly favoured the Left,” Brussels Signal wrote in its analysis of an exit poll by SVT, Sweden’s national public broadcaster:

“The Social Democrats received 38 per cent of their votes, the Left Party 21 per cent, the Greens 7 per cent and the Centre Party 4 per cent. Together, these parties accounted for 70 per cent, against 27 per cent for the four parties of the outgoing right-wing bloc.”

The tiny socialist majority was won through heavy voter mobilization within immigrant communities, which tipped the balance. Turnout rose around 3 points to 67.5% in the almost exclusively urban districts, where mainly Muslim immigrants live.

“This election has in part been about voter mobilisation, which is unusual ​in Sweden,” noted to Gustav Karreskog Rehbinder, founder of AI analysis firm Vera Policy, which broke down the election results for Reuters.

According to Fredrik Karrholm, a member of the Swedish parliament and the author of Gangster Violence:

“A poll by the respected Novus institute before the election found that of Muslim respondents, around 80 per cent intended to vote for either the Social Democrats or the Left party.

“In some districts with large immigrant populations, the results are striking. For example, in Rosengård Centrum in Malmö, the Social Democrats and Left Party together received, according to the preliminary count, 95.2 per cent of the vote…

“This pattern predates the present government…

“During the last parliamentary term, around 200,000 people were given citizenship under rules that imposed very few demands on applicants – not even a requirement to speak or write Swedish. The majority of those granted citizenship were from outside Europe….

“Immigration to Sweden has not only brought crime, social problems and unemployment – now the government that was successfully starting to solve these problems has been voted out because of immigration itself.”

For a brief moment, it had seemed as if Sweden was finally beginning to turn things around. In 2022, Sweden voted in a center-right government that ruled with the parliamentary backing of the Sweden Democrats – a first in Swedish politics. This government sought to implement the most restrictive overhauls of Swedish asylum and immigration policies in Swedish history with crackdowns on asylum and migrant flows, while making it harder for immigrants to acquire permanent residence and Swedish citizenship.

After decades of lawlessness, the center-right government, now voted out, had also sought to crack down on crime by finally openly linking migration to gang violence, parallel societies, and integration failures.

The results were dramatic: In December 2025, Reuters reported:

“The number of shootings in Sweden has more than halved since hitting a peak in 2022, reflecting new policing approaches introduced by the right-wing government, which is readying for parliamentary elections next year. Shooting incidents fell to 147 so far this year, a 63% decrease compared to 2022 when there were 390 shootings and a 49% decrease compared to 2024, according to a Reuters analysis of official figures.”

The government also began to scrutinize the detrimental effects of Islam in Sweden, including the launch of a government investigation into the Islamist infiltration of Swedish society. This past spring, the government announced that it would be dropping the entire concept of “Islamophobia.”

Sweden, in short, had been on the road to becoming Swedish again – but if the election results lead to a new socialist government, that will no longer happen: The Left Party alone is deeply infiltrated by Islamists and terrorist supporters, with several of its politicians caught celebrating the October 7, 2023 Hamas invasion of Israel, with some handing out candy on the streets to mark their joy at the massacres of Israelis. In addition, several candidates were found to have shared content praising or expressing support for designated terrorist organizations, including Hamas, Hezbollah, the PFLP and Al-Qaeda, while multiple candidates shared classic antisemitic tropes, Holocaust denial and homophobia.

These revelations, all dug up by the Swedish press, forced the Left Party to remove at least 33 of its most extremist candidates, an astounding number.

Many other radicals within the party kept their parliamentary seats, including MPs Ilona Szatmári Waldau and Samuel Gonzalez Westling, who sent open letters of support to Palestinian terrorists held in Israeli prisons for serious offenses, such as ordering suicide bombings and torturing and murdering an Israeli soldier. In October 2025, the party’s top leadership, including party leader Nooshi Dadgostar, hosted two visiting Palestinians from the Fatah Revolutionary Council inside the Swedish Parliament. The two guests were known for having publicly praised terrorist acts and spreading Jew-hatred.

If you think any of this harmed the party, you would be wrong: The scandals actually served to boost it: they gained the party six new seats in the election.

There is a name for what just happened in Sweden: Ballot box jihad. It is an Islamist tactic, favored by the Muslim Brotherhood.

“In the Middle East, democracy and elections are various means to one end: the establishment of a decidedly undemocratic form of law — Islamic, or Sharia Law,” Raymond Ibrahim wrote about the Egyptian elections in 2012, which, for a brief moment, brought the Muslim Brotherhood to power.

“An Egyptian cleric, Dr. Talat Zahran, proclaimed that it is ‘obligatory to cheat at elections, a beautiful thing’ — meaning that voting is a tool, an instrument, the only value of which is to empower Sharia. Another cleric, Hazim Shuman… issued a fatwa that likened voting for Islamist candidates to a ‘jihad,’ or a holy war, adding that paradise awaits whoever is ‘martyred’ during the electoral campaign.”

The same tactic applies to the Islamist project of nonviolent conquest of the West. The late spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, speaking in Qatar in 2007, said that “Islam will conquer Europe without resorting to the sword or fighting. The conquest will be through da’wah [proselytizing] and ideology.”

Ballot box jihad is part of achieving this conquest. Sameh Egyptson, an Egyptian-Swedish academic, writer and expert on political Islam, has been warning about Islamist infiltration of the political system for years. He has recently cautioned, among other things, against clan voting as an erosion of democracy. Clan voting is when extended families and even entire ethnic communities vote collectively as a bloc for the same candidate or party. Although clan voting as such is not illegal in Sweden, two newly elected Muslim candidates from the Left Party are already suspected of electoral fraud, including bribing or unduly influencing voters to vote for them and pre-marking their own names on ballots.

This outcome is possibly what many socialists have been planning all along: To stay in power forever by importing new voters from the Third World.

Sweden is a warning, not only to the rest of Europe but to the Western world at large.

‘Nearly all women arriving on small boats have been raped,’ UK Home Secretary admits

Medforth AI

Nearly every woman waiting in northern France to cross to Britain in a small boat has probably been raped on the journey, the UK Home Secretary has said.

Shabana Mahmood made the claim in an interview with The Rest Is Politics: Leading, the podcast hosted by the former Conservative minister Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair’s former adviser.

“We’re not in control of this border,” she admitted.

“The sifting of the people that end up in the north of France and are about to get on a dinghy is done by criminal gangs who are also, by the way, people traffickers. You can almost guarantee that every woman that’s in the north of France has probably been raped along the journey. Some of the men too, they’ve certainly been abused and threatened.”

That, she said, “is not the model that should decide whether somebody gets to come to the UK, make this their place of sanctuary and ultimately become one of us.”

In the same interview she turned on the demonstrators who have praised her border policy, telling them to “sod off” and saying they would want to drive her out of her own country because she is a Muslim.

No Home Office assessment quantifying sexual violence on the routes into northern France has been released alongside Mahmood’s interview.

Home Office statistics record the sex, age and nationality of those detected on arrival, not what happened to them before they embarked.

Women are a minority of those who do arrive. A House of Commons Library briefing, drawing on Home Office data, put detected small-boat arrivals at about 33,000 in the year to June 2026, of whom roughly 13 per cent were adult women, 72 per cent adult men and 15 per cent children.

The department’s own figure for that period was 33,374, down 23 per cent on the 43,309 recorded a year earlier. Eritreans, Sudanese, Afghans, Somalis and Iranians made up two-thirds of the total.

Women who land are held at short-term sites such as Manston, in Kent, southeast England, where the Home Office handed out 974 hijabs in the first six months of the year, Brussels Signal reported.

Imran Hussain, of the Refugee Council, welcomed the recognition that women and girls face sexual violence in the conflicts they flee and on the journeys that follow, and used the remarks to argue for wider safe routes than the sponsorship scheme the government has announced.

Mahmood said in June she would open new legal routes for what she called genuine refugees while closing loopholes that had been abused. The first of them, allowing communities and universities to sponsor arrivals, is due to open from this autumn.

The remarks come as opposition to the crossings has moved from the ballot box to the quayside.

On the weekend of September 5 and 6, men in black and balaclavas, linked to a group calling itself Patriot Platform, blocked roads at Dover and clashed with police in Portsmouth after about 140 people were landed at Eastney.

The group is run by Daniel Thomas, an associate of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, the activist better known as Tommy Robinson, according to the campaign group Hope Not Hate.

Mahmood told chief constables on September 10 the scenes carried “obvious malign intent” and urged them to use their powers to ban face coverings.

The tactic has not stopped.

On September 22 hundreds gathered at a marina in Gosport, Hampshire, southern England, to meet a dinghy carrying 51 people. The boat was diverted and docked at Dover instead after 33 hours at sea, and six people were arrested.

Hampshire’s police and crime commissioner, Donna Jones, said the two operations had cost more than £250,000 (€287,000) and that she expected more to come.

On October 4, about 150 demonstrators gathered at a marina in Gosport as the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) brought ashore 149 people picked up in mid-Channel.

Flares were let off, police vans were blocked and there were scuffles. Hampshire Police had already prohibited face coverings. Twelve people were arrested, including on suspicion of assaulting officers, affray and racially aggravated public order.
