The Lviv-based lawyers promise to 'solve the issue' of the 'rashist' presence.

Boutique Ukrainian law firm T&M has launched an appalling new service allowing residents of Western European countries to "cleanse Europe of rashists," a reference to the derogatory neologism used by officials in Kiev, which combines the words "Russian" and "fascist."

Titled "give in charge rashist" (apparently a bad translation of the Ukrainian title "turn in a rashist"), the webportal invites visitors who are "tired of potential invaders living near you" to "let us know and we will try to solve this issue in the legal field."

Lesia Vasilenko posted a photo of a boy from a 2013 book cover

A Ukrainian lawmaker has shared a fake photo and a purported story of "Marc, 8 yo" with her 330,000 followers on her English-language Twitter feed on Tuesday. Lesia Vasilenko, a Ukrainian MP from the Golos (Voice) Party, who has a background in law and human rights campaigning, posted a photo of a sad-looking, dirt-covered boy, claiming that he is an eight-year-old named Mark, who "just survived" a Russian artillery strike.

The photo is nowhere close to being new and does not appear to have any relation to Ukraine. The 2013 Spanish-language edition of the book 'The Misremembered Man' by Irish novelist Christina McKenna featured the very same picture on the cover, skeptics pointed out. At the time of writing, the tweet remained live, though Twitter had added a notice about its questionable veracity.

Rogan guest goes viral after exposing "subhuman" and "appalling" cobalt mining conditions in Congo

There is one part to the "green" EV revolution that we have written about - but that no one else is talking about: the incessant need for cobalt and the "appalling" way that the battery metal is mined and produced.

After a recent Joe Rogan podcast that went out to the viral host's 40 million plus listeners, we're hopeful that dialogue may finally start to take place.

Siddharth Kara, who is a Harvard visiting professor and also the author of Cobalt Red: How The Blood of The Congo Powers Our Lives took to the podcast last week with comments about cobalt mining that already have more than a million listens.

He told Rogan that there's no such thing as "clean cobalt" and that the term was "all marketing," according to a wrap up of the podcast by the NY Post. He noted that the level of suffering of Congolese people working in cobalt mines was "astounding", the report says.
"I've never seen [a cobalt mine that did not rely on child labor or slavery] and I've been to almost all the major industrial cobalt mines."
Yet, modern demand for cobalt doesn't look like it's going to slow down any time soon. "Cobalt is in every single lithium, rechargeable battery manufactured in the world today," Kara said to Rogan.

NHS spends more than £8.2m on 'woke warriors' in diversity jobs

Ministers urged to 'get a grip and ensure that funds are directed towards front-line roles as inclusion posts 'consume ever more resources'

NHS trusts are spending more than £8.2 million a year on diversity and inclusion jobs, The Telegraph can reveal.

The figures, revealed through Freedom of Information requests, relate to just 70 of the 125 acute hospital trusts across England - suggesting the scale of the spending could be far higher.

It comes after job adverts posted by 16 trusts in one month alone revealed they would cost the taxpayer more than £700,000 annually.

The new data show that in 2022, the 70 trusts are employing 187 people in equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) roles - almost three per employer. In total, the 187 jobs are costing the NHS up to £8,220,783 a year.

It comes after the NHS warned it was facing a £7 billion funding shortfall and could be forced to cut services due to rising inflation and the cost of this year's pay award.

UK: One-third of Tavistock's 'transgender' clinic's child victims were autistic

Per Spectrum News:
"People who do not identify with the sex they were assigned at birth are three to six times as likely to be autistic as cisgender people are, according to the largest study yet to examine the connection. Gender-diverse people are also more likely to report autism traits and to suspect they have undiagnosed autism."
In the middle of a meandering treatise on the explosion in "transgender" youths in the UK, The Guardian dropped a little nugget that should have been the lede:
"The Cass report stated that approximately one-third of children and young people being referred to the Tavistock had autism or other types of neurodiversity."
(Tavistock was a UK government-run "affirmative care" clinic that was so reckless in its child-transing practices that it was forced to shut down following an independent audit of its activities, which included a 20-fold increase in referrals of "trans youth" in a ten-year period.)

Just Stop Oil protesters were arrested up to seven times each during a month of road-blocking chaos in London this year.

Some members of the eco-zealot group, which brought the capital the roads around it to a standstill, were arrested multiple times this autumn as part of their uproarious demonstrations. Official figures show that of the 755 people arrested between October 1 and November 4, 155 were detained by police more than once - just over one in five.

The Metropolitan Police has said those arrested are not able to be charged quickly as officers have to trawl through CCTV and take statements from witnesses before the matter goes through the courts.

Hundreds of thousands of asteroids lurk in our solar system, and while space agencies track many of them, there's always the chance that one will suddenly appear on a collision course with Earth. A new app on the website Neal.fun demonstrates what could happen if one smacked into any part of the planet.

Neal Agarwal developed Asteroid Simulator to show the potentially extreme local effects of different kinds of asteroids. The first step is to pick your asteroid, with choices of iron, stone, carbon, and gold, or even an icy comet. The asteroid's diameter can be set up to 1 mile (1.6 kilometers); its speed can be anywhere from 1,000 to 250,000 miles per hour; and the impact angle can be set up to 90 degrees. Once you select a strike location on a global map, prepare for chaos.

French residents who use logs, wood chips or pellets to heat their homes can now receive between €50 ($53) and €200 ($212) from the government to help them cope with the energy crisis.

The "exceptional energy voucher" program launched on Tuesday is designed to help lower-income families survive the winter as the price of firewood has risen by 30% this year, officials said.

Funds can be received by applying online through a government-run website. The sum depends on the family's income, the size of the household, and the type of fuel used.

The French parliament allocated €230 million this month to aid people struggling to buy firewood. At least 2.6 million households are eligible for the program, according to the Economy Ministry.

Libs of TikTok shows her face for first time in epic Tucker Carlson interview

Libs of Tiktok Chaya Raichik
Speaking with Tucker Carlson in a Tuesday episode of Tucker Carlson Today, the creator of the popular Twitter account Libs of Tiktok Chaya Raichik revealed how the LGBTQ community has become a "cult."

"I think there's something so unique about — the LGBTQ community has become this cult and it's so captivating," Raichik said in the pre-taped interview revealing the largely anonymous Twitter user's identity. "And it pulls people in so strongly, unlike anything we've ever seen. And they brainwash people to join, and they convince them of all of these things, and it's really really hard to get out of it, it's really difficult."

"And there are studies on this, there's been a lot of reporting on this, about people, parents who are like, my child is starting to say, you know, that they're non-binary or transgender, or whatever, and what do I do, how do I stop this?"

Comment: More from Fox News:
The identity behind the viral Twitter account Libs of TikTok was revealed on Tuesday's "Tucker Carlson Today," putting a face to the formerly anonymous creator, Chaya Raichik, whose profile has caused a stir among left-wing ideologues while raising awareness about the goings-on inside America's classrooms for some time.

"When my account started growing, I realized the hatred that the Left has and their violent nature, and I was like, 'I am going to remain anonymous' ... and I have remained anonymous until my account was doxxed," Raichik told Carlson during the Fox Nation episode.

Raichik, who had been doxxed by Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz earlier this year, had remained anonymous due to backlash over her controversial account, which assembles a collection of TikTok videos from leftists, exposing their hypocrisy and radical ideology.

"This is information you should have but have never had until Libs of TikTok bothered to put it into one place and show you."

"For doing that, the person who runs Libs of TikTok has been the focus of a lot of hate and many threats. So many that person has remained anonymous," Carlson said Tuesday before revealing her identity.

Raichik said though her name and location were shared when she was doxxed, her photos never leaked.

"I never did any in-person events, and I'm choosing to do that now because I feel like, over the past few months, I've done so much. I've helped educate people. I know that I've helped create legislation to tackle some of these issues, and I think I've done all I can, and I am ready for the next step," she told Carlson.

Raichik said her account's fame has led parents' groups to seek out her help, as well as requests from others who want to learn how to expose and push back against the Left in similar ways.

"I was restrained from doing all of those things [while being anonymous], and I'm ready to do them. I think that I'll be a lot more effective when I'm not so anonymous anymore, and I'm excited."

She added that while she has already made plans for speaking engagements in the upcoming months, she hopes to become increasingly involved in pushing back against the types of leftists she spotlighted with her account.

"I want to do all I can and help people to fight this," she said.
