Child rapist can STAY in UK after arguing being deported would harm his mental health

predator
A child rapist can stay in the UK after arguing being deported would harm his mental health. The fiend, who cannot be named, was jailed for attacking a teenage girl and was to be kicked out in 2014.

But he appealed, claiming he could not be treated for depression or PTSD in his native Eritrea, East Africa.

Last month his appeal was upheld after a doctor witness said he would be more likely to take his life if returned to his home country.


Comment: Seems like most people would be fine with that outcome.


He was also likely to have been punished for evading a military draft by fleeing here as a teenager.

Bird Flu, censorship & 100 day vaccines: 7 predictions for "the next pandemic"

lab testing
Earlier this month the White House published its new "Pandemic Preparedness" targets.

They are far from alone in covering this. Back in March, Sky News was asking: "Next pandemic is around the corner,' expert warns - but would lockdown ever happen again?"

On April 3rd, the Financial Times asked something similar: "The next pandemic is coming. Will we be ready?"

Less than an hour ago, the Daily Mail invited us inside "the world's deadliest cave that could cause the next pandemic".

Just two days ago a professional panic spreader wrote for CNN:
The next pandemic threat demands action now!!!

The student protests for Palestine are awe-inspiring. But we must not get distracted from Gaza.

People walk past destroyed buildings in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip on April 21, 2024
I cannot help but be moved by the wave of protests taking over college campuses across the country. But the protests aren't the story. Gaza is.

I was glued to my phone yesterday.

It was no different than most of my days over the past seven months. But for perhaps the first time since last October, I wasn't completely overwhelmed with grief and sadness. I was feeling inspired, invigorated, and hopeful.

I was watching videos of students and faculty at my alma mater, NYU, linked arm in arm, as they stood proudly in solidarity with Palestine at the newly established NYU Gaza Solidarity Encampment - which had been set up in the same location where 10 years earlier, I participated as a student in a much smaller protest for Palestine.

Russia and Ukraine have agreed to exchange children who have been separated from their families amid the hostilities between the two nations, a senior official involved in the negotiations announced on Wednesday.

The talks were held with Qatar's mediation, Russian Children's Rights Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova told the media. Under the deal, Moscow will take in 19 children and send 29 home to Ukraine, she said.

Speaking to journalists in Doha, the official said the Qatari government was overseeing the lists of children slated for the planned swap. The talks were held in the capital of the Arab nation and amounted to the first in-person negotiation of this kind between Moscow and Kiev, according to Lvova-Belova.

Seven young people have been arrested in counter-terrorism raids across Sydney in response to last week's Sydney church stabbing.

More than 400 members of a joint counter-terrorism team from state and federal police forces began kicking down doors at 13 homes in the city's south-west at about 11.15am on Wednesday.

The sweeping raids were carried out in response to the April 15 attack on Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel at the Assyrian church, Christ The Good Shepherd Church, in Wakeley - which was declared a religiously motivated terror incident.

New South Wales Police said there was no specific threat to public safety and the raids had no connection to Anzac Day commemorations on Thursday.

However, the national terrorism threat level remains at 'possible'.

Sanity: Judge declares mistrial in case of Arizona rancher charged with murder of Mexican national on border property

George Alan Kelly illegal migrant shooting
George Alan Kelly enters court for his preliminary hearing in Nogales Justice Court in Nogales, Arizona April 23, 2024.
Jurors did not reach a unanimous verdict in the murder trial of Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly

A jury was unable to reach a verdict in the case of Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly, who was accused of second-degree murder in connection to the death of a Mexican national found fatally shot on his borderland ranch in January 2023.

The jury began deliberating April 18. After days of being unable to reach a verdict, the judge overseeing the trial declared a mistrial on Monday.

The case centered around the death of Mexican national Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea, who was found shot to death on Kelly's 170-acre cattle ranch near Keno Springs outside Nogales, Arizona, on Jan. 30, 2023.

Kelly's defense has countered the prosecution's argument that Cuen-Buitimea was an unarmed migrant and has suggested cartel influence mired the death investigation.

The world's most censored democracy

Australia is rapidly becoming the most censored "democracy" in the world. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) regulates all media from broadcasting, telecommunications, online search results, video games, to social media platforms. The Classification Board and Classification Review Board decides what information Australians can and cannot see. The government has even appointed an eSafety Commissioner to specifically oversee "online safety" and prohibit Australians from viewing anything the government deems unfit.

Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel is an Orthodox Christian priest with a massive online following. Mari preaches at the Christ the Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley, delivering powerful messages that have been resonating with believers and non-believers alike. Everyone is aware that Australia has a migrant crisis no different from other developed nations. A few weeks ago, Mari was delivering a sermon when an Islamic extremist approached him with a knife. Australia does not want the people to bear arms but that does not deter attacks.

The 16-year-old terrorist, who was clearly motivated by religion, rushed the altar with a knife and attempted to repeatedly stab Mari. The unarmed bishop held his crucifix up to the attacker and miraculously prevented the switchblade from fully opening, saving his life. The video of the attack has gone viral across the internet, met with an outpouring of sympathy from people around the world. The Australian government is angry that this video is painting migrants in a poor light and is demanding that it be scrubbed from the internet.

Ukraine to deny consular services to draft dodgers abroad

Ukrainian consular offices will not serve fighting-age men living abroad who are unwilling to risk their lives for their country's survival, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said on Tuesday.

Kiev's diplomatic missions in several Western nations stopped processing such service requests on Tuesday, according to multiple Ukrainian media reports. Documents that have been finalized for fighting-age Ukrainian men are being withheld, reports claim.

Kuleba confirmed in a social media post on Tuesday that he had ordered the policy change and that it is meant to encourage men to come back to Ukraine for possible call up for military service.
"How it looks like now: a man of conscription age went abroad, showed his state that he does not care about its survival, and then comes and wants to receive services from this state. It does not work this way. Our country is at war."
The order to deny consular services to all men aged 18 to 60 was first revealed by Ukrainian media on Monday. Kuleba has since described his decision as "fair" and in line with the controversial military mobilization reforms, which President Vladimir Zelensky signed into law this month. The changes include various punishments for avoiding the draft.

Quebec farmers have been protesting since December - is anyone listening?

Quebec farmers
© THE CANADIAN PRESS/Peter McCabeQuebec farmers are protesting production costs that have doubled or tripled, as well as high interest rates that make covering expenses even harder.
On Monday morning in Sherbrooke, Que., dozens of tractors slowly rolled along a stretch of road between the regional offices of Quebec's farmers' association and the Agriculture Department a few hundred meters away.

Upset about high interest rates, growing paperwork and heavy regulatory burdens, protesting farmers have become a familiar sight across Quebec since December.

"It's pretty hard to get farmers out of their farms, because they've got so many hours to put in, but to see them going out, it means that there is really something going bad in farming right now," said Benjamin Boivin, a corn and wheat farmer in Quebec's Estrie region, east of Montreal, who was out protesting on Monday.

Best of the Web: Royal Household Calvary horses bolt through London after throwing riders off, just as Big Ben clock 'stops working'

Something weird - and perhaps symbolic, though of what we're unsure - happened in London, UK, this morning. Media reports that two riderless military horses were seen galloping through central London at rush hour on Wednesday morning. They were caught after about two hours, local police said.

Photos and video posted on social media and by British news outlets showed the horses running along busy roads, dodging buses, taxis and other traffic.

Both were wearing saddles and bridles, with one - a white one - apparently covered in blood on its chest and forelegs.
