Members of the Indian diaspora countered the Pakistani protest outside the Indian High Commission in London on Sunday.

Several protesters condemned the April 22 attack and highlighted that it was not the first time such terror activity has taken place in the region.

“I am an Indian citizen and a Hindu of Jammu and Kashmir. Today, I have come here because there was a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which was carried out by Pakistan. I have come here to protest against Pakistani terrorists who were involved. This is not the first accident in Jammu and Kashmir,” a member of the Indian diaspora said.

“Many such accidents have happened by the terrorist which Pakistan has committed. Many such times in Kankot, Gaddi Kot, in Dangri of Rajouri, where Hindus were identified and attacked. Selective targeting has been done. As we saw in Pahalgam, they were asked to tell which religion they belonged to. They were asked to read something. So we are standing here against what is happening,” she added.

Referring to the mass exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits from Kashmir valley in 1990 when Pakistan-backed radicals threatened the minority community, forcing them to flee, the woman said that the Indians in London were raising their voices against the terror attacks.

“Already Kashmiri Hindus have migrated from the Kashmir Wadi and many terrorist attacks have taken place from the Jammu division where I come from. Here in London, the Indian diaspora has stood up to raise its voice against this,” she added.

Another member of the Indian diaspora said, “We are really saddened by what has happened and that’s why we have come over here to support our Indian community that lives abroad but our hearts are always with our motherland. And it’s happening again and again and that’s what saddens us. We are doing a peaceful demonstration over here. I know there are people from the other side standing there shouting slogan, instigating us, but that’s not us. We are here to tell them to stop terrorising us. We do not support this. Please go away and if you have to do something, do in your home,” he said.

An Indian said that the terrorists will face their karma one day.

“We are protesting peacefully. The opposite site is furious with us, but we will always be on the side of peace. We are following the footsteps of peace and believe that the karma of everyone will come back to them,” he said.

A member of the Indian diaspora told ANI that they gathered there to counter Pakistan’s protest.

“Pakistanis protested outside the Indian High Commission and we gathered here for a solidarity protest to counter their protest. We are all protesting peacefully.”

Another member of the Indian diaspora said, “People of Indian origin organised a peaceful protest in the UK, after some anti-social elements announced a protest outside the Indian High Commission. We are here to show our support and solidarity to the families of the 27 people who died in the terror attack. We hope the Indian government gives a reply to Pakistan in a language they understand.”

Members of the Indian community held a protest outside the Pakistan High Commission in London on Friday and condemned the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam.

The demonstration was peaceful yet powerful, drawing participants from various age groups and backgrounds who came together in solidarity with the victims and their families.

Terrorists attacked tourists at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam on April 22, killing 25 Indian nationals and one Nepalese citizen while leaving several others injured.

German Army’s First Transgender Lieutenant Colonel Penalized For Bringing Forces Into Disrepute With Highly Sexualized Behavior

The German Armed Forces’ first transgender commander has lost an appeal against a reprimand he received after his highly sexualized public behavior put him in violation of the military’s code of conduct. Anastasia Biefang filed a counter-complaint against the reprimand, alleging discrimination on the basis of his “sexual identity,” but has now lost his case.

Biefang originally enlisted in the Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces) as Marc Biefang, but transitioned in 2017 to much fanfare from media and trans activists. Following the announcement of his new gender identity, he made headlines as both the first transgender and first “woman” to become the Lieutenant Colonel of the Information Technology Battalion in Storkow, Brandenburg. But just two years later, Biefang received a disciplinary reprimand after his highly graphic Tinder profile was uncovered.

In the profile, Biefang described himself as “spontaneous, lustful, trans*, [in an] open relationship and looking for sex. All genders welcome.” The Bundeswehr found that the content of the profile violated his off-duty code of conduct. Shortly after, Biefang was transferred out of Storkow to a new post in Bonn. During a farewell parade in his honor, he rode on a military vehicle that had been transformed into a unicorn float as a symbol of the “LGBTQI movement.”

In 2020, the Southern Military Service Court ruled that the wording of Biefang’s Tinder profile raised doubts about his moral integrity, noting that the wording of Biefang’s profile would have led an outside party to understand that he degraded himself and his sexual partners to “mere sex objects.” This was deemed incompatible with his duty to uphold a the reputation of the German Armed Forces, and maintain good standing in the eyes of civilians. The court argued that the profile could raise doubts about Biefang’s values, particularly in his role as a commander overseeing approximately 750 soldiers.

Though Biefang challenged the reprimand, in May of 2022, the Second Military Service Senate of the Federal Administrative Court upheld the reprimand. The court clarified that the profile text portrayed “sexual indiscipline” and a “promiscuous sexual lifestyle.” As a commander, Biefang was also said to have had a special responsibility to remain compliant with the code of conduct, as he must credibly enforce disciplinary measures against subordinates, such as in cases of sexual misconduct. The court saw the profile text as posing a risk that Biefang’s ability to implement such measures could be questioned, as the text could create the impression of an “uninhibited indulgence in sexual urges.”

Unsatisfied, Biefang escalated his complaint to the Federal Constitutional Court, alleging discrimination based on his so-called “sexual identity.” This month, the court has declined to hear his case. The court justified this decision by stating that the reprimand had already been expunged after three years under the Military Disciplinary Code, meaning there was no longer a need for legal protection. Biefang had not sufficiently demonstrated why a legitimate interest in a ruling persisted.

Despite having been reprimanded, Biefang’s sexualized behavior has been a central aspect of his public persona.

During an appearance on German talk show Paillette geht immer (Sequins Always Work) in April of 2021, Biefang recounted that, as a teenager, he wore his mother’s clothes, masturbated in them, and blamed semen stains on his younger brother to conceal his actions.

In the same show, Biefang openly discussed his sexual preferences, stating: “I like to get fucked in darkrooms.” He also showcased his surgically enhanced silicone breasts and offered Olszinski to touch them. Olszinski asked, “Can I touch them later?” to which Biefang agreed, “Of course!”

Biefang regularly attended the “Fuck Your Gender” party series organized by The Nipple Liberation Army, which has been held in Berlin since 2018. The party offers attendees darkrooms with sex accessories and promote a “hedonistic, safe space with a focus on body positivity.” Biefang commented, “I’m part of a collective. We throw our own sex-positive parties. It’s awesome, right?”

In September of 2022, Biefang participated in Folsom Europe in Berlin, a fetish and BDSM event in the Schöneberg district. He wore a tight-fitting latex outfit that accentuated his silicone breasts and a heavy metal chain with an Abus padlock around his neck.

Folsom Europe is known for public BDSM demonstrations, spanking sessions, and darkroom parties on Fuggerstraße in Berlin, and it regularly attracts criticism. The BZ Berlin reported on residents’ complaints that the street turns into a “madhouse for men in leather harnesses and rubber masks” each year, with “martial costumes reminiscent of NS uniforms” and public sex occurring, despite children living in the area.

Biefang’s so-called “transition” and his relationship with his wife was portrayed in the 2019 documentary “Ich bin Anastasia“ (I am Anastasia), directed by Thomas Ladenburger. The film follows him from his time as soldier Marc Biefang to his surgical procedures in his role as lieutenant colonel. An explicit scene depicts a “penis party” at Biefang’s home, where a penis-shaped cake symbolized the lead up to his vaginoplasty surgery.

Biefang has been the deputy chairman of QueerBw, the advocacy group for “queer members” of the German Armed Forces, since 2016. The organization was founded in 2002 as the Working Group of Homosexual Members of the German Armed Forces (AHsAB), with the original purpose of combating discrimination based on sexual orientation and strengthening the rights of homosexual soldiers. In 2020, it was renamed QueerBw “to encompass all queer identities“ and represents approximately 400 members.

Biefang has also advocated against single-sex policies in other countries. On April 1, 2023, he criticized Arkansas’ Senate Bill 270 (SB270), which would have criminalized trans-identified men for using public women’s restrooms when girls were present. The bill did not pass; instead, Senate Bill 294 (SB294) was enacted on March 21, 2023, which applies only to schools and prohibits so-called “transgender individuals“ from using restrooms of the opposite sex in public schools.

In December 2022, a female user on X demanded that Biefang not to use “women’s toilets, women’s showers, communal changing rooms, women’s hospitals, or women’s prisons.” Biefang responded via his now-deleted X account: “Didn’t want to go to prison anyway. Will still use the women’s shower. Maybe we’ll meet there sometime.”

‘Enough’s enough!’ Britain ‘way beyond’ point of return as thousands descend on Dover to ‘stop the boats’

More than a thousand demonstrators took to the streets of Dover this SundayGB News

Thousands have descended on Dover to “stop the boats” as activists declare “enough’s enough” over the migrant crisis.

The event, called “Stop the boats now! 10,000+ bikers and friends illegal migrant protest ride to Dover” on Facebook, encouraged other activists to play their part as hundreds arrive in the coastal town.

Attending the protest on Sunday, Reform’s Dover & Deal chairman told GB News that illegal migration in the UK was “way beyond” a point of return.

“There’s a point with illegal migration in the country where we say enough’s enough, and we are way beyond that,” Paul King told GB News. “This is what today is about.”

Brandishing Union Jacks, groups marching through the town could be heard chanting “no one likes a leftie”.

Organising the protest online, the Kent Motor Heads Events wrote: “Nothing is and never will be done to stop the mass invasion of our tiny island.

“As bikers, we are known to do what we say we are going to do and will line the roads and the whole area of Dover in a mass protest to show how p****d off everyone is with this now.”

“It’s not racist. It’s not right-wing. So please don’t try and make out it is.”

The group added that they intended the event to be a “peaceful protest” and said that “there won’t be any trouble or anti-social behaviour” from demonstrators.

Attendees were encouraged to “ignore” anyone who attempted to “wind them up” as pro-immigration groups are expected to launch a counter-protest.

Echoing a similar sentiment, King told the People’s Channel said: “I’m aware that there is a pro migrant anti protest happening. And the last thing I want is any disturbance.”

“There’s a great feeling of disenfranchisement of the general populace that they do the right thing, pay their taxes, and then don’t get anything.

“Everything gets given to those who come in here illegally. It’s illegal. And it’s as simple as that.”

He added: “I’m here as an individual, but I’m also here in my role as an apolitical person. It’s a non-political protest. I’m not enforcing my views on anyone, but I know a number of our [party] members are coming because they feel so passionate about it.”

The event’s organisers have also emphasised that it would be a peaceful protest of “like-minded normal folk who have had enough”.

King told GB News that he had noted an increased police presence as he arrived ahead of the event this afternoon.

Local officers have been alerted to increased tensions in the area as demonstrators from both sides of the debate assemble their forces.

Crowds have flocked to Dover just over a week since GB News exclusively revealed that hundreds of illegal migrants reached Britain’s shores on Good Friday, sending a record week’s number of arrivals even higher.

Just before 9pm, the Border Force vessel Ranger arrived in Dover with 113 migrants on board – in addition to the 138 who made the perilous journey across the Channel to the UK earlier in the day.

As a result, it brought the total number of illegal crossings from France to 9,350 in the year so far.

UK: Inside the sleepy village overrun by pro-Palestine protests

Residents in Shenstone, Staffordshire, say they have been left feeling intimidated from constant protest GB News

The small village of Shenstone in Staffordshire is everything you imagine it to be – blossom falling from the trees, small winding streets and, apart from a few chirping birds, peaceful.

Except today, the birdsong was broken by the drums and chanting of hundreds at another pro-Palestine protest.

For years, this little hamlet of England has endured consistent disruption because of Palestine Action. Their target? The UAV Engines factory.

The group accuse the company of making parts used in Israeli combat drones.

The company, UAV Engines LTD, says this is “categorically false” and “misinformation propagated by a group attempting to illegally prevent a lawful UK business from operating”. But however much they might deny the claims, month after month, activists have targeted the factory.

Graffiti stains the walls and gate of this business; ‘PAL ACTION WOZ ERE’ is chalked into the pavement. The stamp of seemingly proud activists who want this place shut down.

St. John the Baptist, Shenstone. St John the Baptist Church – Google Maps

Police stand guard by the roadside and on the factory roof, security is on the lookout, waiting for what is to descend on them once more.

In the centre of the village, the local shop sets out its stand of fruit and veg, a hairdresser’s is mid-blow dry and the butchers is busy selling sausage rolls and steaks. It’s here residents tell GB News of their frustration, confusion and worries about the protests.

Catching their breath from a morning bike ride, Gary, Dan and Sarah are fed up.

“A lot of the people have no connection to Palestine!” says Gary. “It seems to be ‘rent a protest’ and people haven’t got a clue what they’re talking about.”

He adds: “They’re just jumping on it because it’s trendy to fly the Palestinian flag and go along to a little village in England and protest, which is absolutely ludicrous.”

Dan says: “You do feel intimidated, you do feel uncomfortable in your own village.”

For Sarah, there’s worry about the impact on the elderly population in the village and a headache about the march’s end goal.

She tells GB News: “I’m more frustrated and fascinated by what difference they actually think it’s going to make? It’s going to cost the taxpayers loads of money in policing this weekend.”

Some residents are too intimidated by the protests to do an interview. One says he’s had physical and verbal threats in the past few weeks, and had his address shared on pro-Palestine groups.

At previous demonstrations, locals have confronted the activists.

In a video filmed last year and shared with GB News, a resident asks a group of Palestine supporters if they have any anti-Hamas signs. One of them replied: “But I am Hamas.”

As the start time of the march edges closer, hundreds of protesters arrive in the village. Some come on the train, but many have been bussed in from across the country. Posters for the event advertised free coach travel for activists from Manchester, Liverpool, Batley, and Leeds to name just a few.

There’s a significant police presence throughout the whole of the village aimed at reassuring locals of their safety and ensuring the protest remains peaceful.

Huge Palestinian flags are waved by those on the march as the pack of protestors moves off and squeezes through the tight streets. Chants of ‘from the river to the sea’ and ‘free Palestine’ reverberate off the walls of the houses. The villagers are bystanders in their own homes.

Part of the march becomes a mock funeral procession as six people carry a coffin at the front. A banner reads “SHUT ELBIT DOWN”; other placards accuse the UAV factory of killing children, and some are even more extreme.

As the demonstration arrives at their target location, a police van blocks the road and officers form a human barrier in front of the factory gates. Gazebos set up by other activists on the roadside hand out leaflets and blast Islamic music from their speakers.

The noise intensifies, calls for “intifada” and “free Palestine” ring out across the hills of this village, and three flares in green, red and white fill the air with thick smoke.

Nearby residents stay in their homes waiting for it to pass, many living in frustration and fear, all of them wondering when it will stop.

‘Ireland Is Full!’ — Thousands Protest in Dublin Against Mass Migration on Anniversary of Easter Rising

X

Dublin was flooded with demonstrators on Saturday as thousands took to the streets in opposition to the mass migration agenda imposed upon Ireland by its neo-liberal government.

Huge crowds carrying signs with messages such as “Irish Lives Matter”, “Ireland for the Irish”, and “Ireland is Full” took to the streets of the Irish capital on Saturday in a protest coinciding with the anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising, which marked the start of the armed conflict against British rule over the island.

While Irish nationalist groups, like the IRA and its associated political party Sinn Féin, waged decades-long and often violent campaigns against what they saw as British colonialism, there has been relative quiet from such groups against the disposition of Irish lands through mass migration, which has resulted in one fifth of the country now being foreign born.

The protestors were supported by UFC champion Conor McGregor, who has signalled his intention to run for the Irish presidency later this year, with migration being a central focus.

In a message posted on X, the Irish MMA legend said: “Over 100 years ago, our brave men and women made the ultimate sacrifice so that we could live free today.”

“Let us remind ourselves why we are here and also why we are not here. We are not here to build hatred amongst each other, we are not here to sow division. We are here to commemorate the valiant heroes that went before us,” McGregor said.

“We honour their spirit, we honour their fight, and we are here today to shine our light on the failure of the Irish government and our full disapproval of it. Be respectful, be proud, be united, because together we will be heard and as one, we will be victorious in our mission.”

“Together we rise, together we win. God bless us all, God bless Ireland.”

The mass migration policies from Dublin have had a radical impact on the country over the past two decades, with the number of foreigners living in the country more than doubling since 2006 to over a million people, or around 20 per cent of the entire population.

This has resulted in widespread social unrest, with protests frequently breaking out over the government’s efforts to establish migrant hotels throughout the country. Riots also erupted in Dublin in 2023 after a migrant stabbed three young children.

The sudden influx of migrants has also coincided with stagnating wages and soaring housing costs, further exacerbating the cost-of-living crisis facing many native Irish as the supply of labour expands and the supply of available homes contracts.

According to a report from data firm Geowox, which specialises in evaluating the price of residential properties, the price of homes in Ireland rose by an average of 9.8 per cent during the first four months of the year compared to the same period in 2024.

The median price of a home in Ireland now stands at €360,000 ($410,000), an increase of €32,000 over last year.

Unsurprisingly, the public sentiment has shifted firmly against mass migration, with a survey from Amárach Research finding that eight in ten voters think migration has been “too high”. However, there is also widespread cynicism about the prospects of reversing course, with 61 per cent telling the pollster that they did not believe the government cares about public sentiment about immigration.

Climate scientists want to shut off the sun

By Mike McDaniel

We can’t reliably predict the weather in local areas, nor do we understand the mechanisms of global climate–or change. Every doomsday prediction green lunatics have made has failed. Every single one, which goes so far beyond the realm of random probability as to be convincing to rational people: Greenies have no idea what they’re talking about. The best way to “trust the science” where they’re concerned is to believe the opposite of whatever they’re demanding. That would not only actually save the planet but trillions we don’t have.

Let’s quickly review: the Sun, and more precisely, its distance from the Earth, is what makes life possible. Sure, there are other factors, but you get the point. So, of course, greenies reeling from Donald Trump’s drying up their Green New Deal funding have come up with another brilliant plan to “save” the planet:

Graphic: X Screenshot

Well, the New Dark Ages are about to get darker. The UK government is poised to approve £50 million in funding for controlled solar geoengineering experiments within weeks, marking a significant step in exploring sunlight reflection methods (SRM) to mitigate global warming.

These initiatives, managed by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA), aim to gather real-world data on techniques that could temporarily cool the planet in the questionable effort to reduce the “global temperature“.

Why is it so easy to imagine these people wearing Mao jackets and inhabiting hollowed-out volcano, Bond villain lairs?

Apparently, they’ve forgotten even the UN’s climate panel years ago admitted if Americans gave them everything they wanted, bankrupting the nation, they might—might—be able to reduce the global temperature less than a degree centigrade in a century or so. That’s why they don’t say “global warming” anymore, replacing it with “climate change.” They also dropped global warning hysteria because the globe hasn’t been—ahem—warming for decades now. They don’t like to talk about that. 

Lileks.com adds this:  

I was somewhat alarmed by this story: “Experiments to dim the SUN in bid to curb global warming will be approved by the UK government within weeks.” (Daily Fail, but they’re quoting a Telegraph story.) Of all the countries to come up with the idea of reducing the amount of sun its residents get, England would seem to be last on the list. Also, this is how the Matrix got started. Also, I think a poll of most of England outside of the government, universities, and tanks of Cogitating Boffins would regard the idea as utter tosh, because Climate Dread is quite low on the list of concerns for most UK residents.

I don’t claim to be a “climate scientist,” but if adherence to the scientific method, the truth and restraining any tendency toward hysterical predictions of 10-12 year in the future doom, and this time we really mean it—trust the science! I’m easily as qualified as most of those claiming that title regardless of their academic qualifications, which seldom have anything to do with “climate science.” Most of them seem about as scientific as Trofim Lysenko, and their plots would certainly produce the same results. 

What I do know is that sunlight is, to use a scientific term, “good.” A warmer climate with adequate precipitation and sunlight keeps us healthy—I think that has something to do with Vitamin D and stuff–and gives us more time to grow food. Considering we all need food–that doesn’t include bugs–not just for ourselves but for our livestock and various feathered critters, which we also need if we’re going to have enough protein, a somewhat warmer and longer growing season would seem to be a good thing. 

Cutting off the sun—if we had any clue how to do that on a global scale without bankrupting the whole of humanity—would reduce growing seasons and crop yields, which to use another scientific term, would be “bad.” If we did it as much as these “scientists” seem to prefer, we’d be back to the 70’s “global cooling” with its imminent—in 10-12 years—“ice age,” which didn’t doom us but forced a narrative switch to “global warming.” Considering far more people die from cold than heat, that too would be “bad.”

Graphic: X Screenshot

So, these British “scientists,”—Bill Gates is reportedly pushing this on the other side of the pond, which intensifies the Bond Villain imagery—will doubtless waste billions upon billions to discover we really don’t have a clue how to change global climate. Other climate scientists will spend even more and discover the same, which will cause them all to bury any data that contradicts their good intentions and cause them to demand even more and more money because if we don’t fork it over, we’re doomed in 10-12 years, and this time they really, really mean it.

Always wrong, but never in doubt.

Every Religion Except Islam is a “Supremacist Ideology” – Every non-Muslim country is a “colonial settler state”

After Muslim terrorists massacred Hindus in Kashmir, the same ‘Gaza’ propaganda machine has been cranked up to go after Hindus and India.

After the attacks, Omar Suleiman, Bernie’s Imam, tweeted that “Zionism and Hindutva are twin supremacist ideologies”.

Islamists and leftists have taken to claiming that India is a “colonial settler state” that was only created by the British in 1948.

Absurd, but as I previously discussed, it’s the same playbook that they already deployed against Israel. If one of the oldest and best known indigenous civilizations can be dismissed as a British colonial-settler state from 1948, why not another?

Next up, China.

It will turn out that every religion except Islam is a “supremacist ideology” and must be destroyed and every non-Muslim country is a “colonial-settler state” to be terrorized and eliminated.

Right-Wing Simion Leads in the Runup to May Romanian Presidential Election, Advocating Alliance With Trump’s MAGA and Floating ‘Canceled’ Georgescu as Prime Minister

Calin Georgescu (left), and George Simion (right).

Conservative, Anti Globalist and Euro-skeptic, George Simion is the nightmare of the Romanian establishment, as his lead in the runup to May presidential election is set to nullify all the bad work against Calin Georgescu, who won the first round of vote that was criminally canceled for unproven Russian infiltration.

Simion is riding the wave of anger stirred by the Georgescu cancelation, and has floated making him his Prime Minister if elected.

Reuters reported:

“NATO and European Union member Romania looked poised to swing towards Russia after far-right newcomer Calin Georgescu topped the first round of voting last November, but the country’s top court cancelled the election because of suspicions of Russian meddling. Moscow denied the allegations.”

Mass protest in Romania against the cancellation of December’s vote.

The Reuters report has ‘political analysts’ saying Simion ‘would risk isolating Romania abroad’, because je wants to have a close relationship with US President Donald J. Trump.

“He is campaigning on a ‘Romania first’ ticket, advocating conservative policies, euroscepticism and close alignment with the U.S. MAGA movement.

‘I believe that just as MAGA won power in the United States, so too the Make Europe Great Again movement will have a majority in European institutions’, Simion, 38, said during a recent conference.

‘I do not doubt that anywhere in the free world the wind is that of change and of returning to common sense. The ‘woke’ madness has gone too far’.”

Election favorite Georgescu was arrested and is being prosecuted.

Simion came fourth in the ‘canceled first round’ of the presidential election, but inheriting the Georgescu vote, he leads opinion polls with 35% support.

“If elected, Simion has said he will make public ‘how much we contributed to the war effort in Ukraine to the detriment of subsidies for Romanian children and pensions for our elderly’.

[…] [His] six-year-old AUR [party] has grown from a fringe anti-vaccination group during the COVID pandemic to be the leading opposition force. It appeals to the working-class diaspora and young voters, and has built on popular anger with mainstream politicians.”
