Gorsad Kyiv is a collective of photographers that collaborates with the world's largest brands. Apparently, everybody's ignoring the fact that their work revolves around the graphic abuse and sexualization of children. Even worse, some of these "models" appear to be actual victims of child trafficking. Here's a look at Gorsad Kyiv.

Warning: This article contains disturbing pictures.


Gorsad Kyiv is a photography collective consisting of three artists: Viktor Vasiliev, Maria Romaniuk, and Ulik Romaniuk. Based in Kyiv, Ukraine, the group has collaborated with many galleries, magazines, musicians, and brands such as I-D Vice, Dazed & Confused, Skim milk, Hood by Air, Ariel Pink, and others.

In 2022, Gorsad Kyiv was named in PhotoVogue's list of "100 Next Great Fashion Image Makers".

Just over one year ago, I wouldn't have imagined that I'd find myself barricaded inside a classroom in a building on the campus of San Francisco State University.

Outside the door a violent, racist mob chanted threats against me.

'Open the door, we want Riley,' they screamed.

'Why are you protecting a white woman?' the mob spit at security.

Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies is leading a boycott of Nike for its partnership with a transgender influencer to promote its female sports clothing range.

Dylan Mulvaney, 26, posed for a series of pictures and videos promoting the brand's sports bra and leggings.

Mulvaney identifies as a woman and uses the pronouns 'she/they' but has not yet had gender reassignment surgery.

Browbeaten virus pest Karl Lauterbach has declared the pandemic over, just before the last German virus ordinances are set to expire. That whole storm of lies, restrictions, exaggerations and panic, which descended upon us like a hurricane three years ago, has now been withdrawn, with vastly less fanfare.

It's awkward; nobody wants to talk about it.

The German pandemic is not ending because the virus is suddenly safer or because the vaccines have saved us or because we finally masked our way into a world free of respiratory pathogens. No, it is ending according to a timeline established last Fall, which idiotically synced virus restrictions to winter tyre rules. In this way, our rulers finally abandoned all pretence that their measures were anything more than public health theatre, performed to soothe the feelings of terrified ageing urbanites. Even that schedule proved hard to maintain, and the most visible and obnoxious restrictions had to be withdrawn months ago, as all political energy finally drained from the farce. What remains are vestigial mask mandates for care homes and clinics. After tomorrow, these institutions will be permitted to set their own rules.

In a muted, retrospective attempt to declare victory, Bayerischer Rundfunk cannot refrain from the tiresome lectures which are the wont of publicly funded state media outlets everywhere:

Did the original lockdown of January 2020 work in China? It was the original example of how extreme restrictions could be effective in 'controlling' the new virus, praised and commended by the WHO in its visit the following month. Even if there was uncertainty at the time about whether Western nations could or should emulate the authoritarian state, there was no doubt among all the main players that China's intervention had been successful and brought the virus under control. It was this apparent success that inspired governments around the world to take the plunge and follow China's lead, beginning with Italy in February and March, and it likely lay behind the constant sense over the following years that restrictions should be working, even when they plainly were not.

So did China's original extreme lockdown work? My colleague Dr. Noah Carl is among those who think it did. Noah accepts the well-attested evidence that lockdowns in the rest of the world largely didn't work. But he argues that it did in Wuhan. Initially he implies the difference was due to the strictness of China's lockdown ("To begin with, China's lockdown was far stricter"), but his main position, stated in his conclusion, is that lockdowns with border controls when imposed early enough can stop the virus in its tracks. Thus: "When prevalence was relatively low, countries had a shot at containing Covid, so long as there were strict border controls in place."

To defend this point of view he points to Australia and New Zealand, which seem to have kept the virus at bay until 2022 by following this method.

The main problem to my mind with the claim that China's lockdown worked by stopping the virus in its tracks is that none of the rest of East Asia had a large wave in 2020, despite nowhere else imposing a lockdown like in Wuhan, and some places like Japan not imposing one at all. The rest of China did not have a lockdown like the one imposed in Wuhan, or initially any restrictions at all - that was supposedly part of the success, that the extreme Wuhan measures 'contained' the virus and protected the rest of the country, hence Italy initially imposing lockdown in a local area and then just in the north of the country.

The Louisville gunman who shot dead four bank employees live-streamed the massacre and left a note to his parents saying he was going to carry out the attack following his firing, it has been revealed.

Connor Sturgeon, 25, stormed Old National Bank shortly after 8.30am Monday - around half an hour before the downtown branch opened to the public.

The victims included a close friend of the governor Thomas Elliott, 63, and three other bank employees, Joshua Barrick, 40, Juliana Farmer, 45, and James Tutt, 64.

Thousands are peacefully protesting ahead of Easter in Berlin, calling for halting arms supplies to Kiev and starting peace negotiations in Ukraine, an RIA Novosti correspondent reported on Saturday.

Easter marches are a practiced tradition in Germany, with this year's weekend peace demonstrations expected to be held in over 120 cities across the country.

The organizer of the Berlin march, Netzwerk Friedenskooperative (Peace Cooperation Network), estimated that up to 3,000 people took part in the march, which began at Berlin's central quarter of Wedding.

The participants can be seen carrying flags depicting the dove of peace, as well as banners that read "US and NATO Get Out of Ukraine," "Diplomacy, Not Arms," "Against Pointless Sanctions, Cheap Energy Now," "Tanks Never Bring Peace," as well as other slogans against Europe's dependence on the United States.

A recent memo sent to every Republican member of Congress is urging lawmakers to dismiss the United Nations' "alarmist report" on climate change.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres recently called on wealthy nations to move up its net-zero emissions goal from 2050 to 2040. But a memo sent by the Competitive Enterprise Institute offered Republicans talking points for refuting both the UN's findings and the Biden administration's push to accelerate the transition to renewable energy.

"In the wake of the latest alarmist report from the United Nations about emissions and climate change, I wanted to draw your attention to three new developments and realities that you should be aware of as debate about climate continues," the memo stated.

The memo started by picking apart various claims from those who warn that global warming will lead to catastrophic changes to human and animal life. For example, it noted a short-term projection by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that suggests global temperatures peaked nearly a decade ago in 2015.

In a video podcast the other day, I made reference to the lockdown orders of March 2020. The host turned off the recording. He said it was fine to talk about this subject but from now on please refer to "the events of March 2020" with no specifics.

Otherwise, it will be taken down by YouTube and Facebook. He needs those platforms for reach, and reach is necessary for his business model.

I complied, but I was spooked. Are we really now in the position that talking about what happened to us is verboten on mainstream venues? Sadly, that seems to be where we headed. In big and small ways, and throughout the culture and the whole world, we are bit-by-bit being trained to forget and hence not learn and thus repeat the whole thing.

This makes no sense since nearly every public issue in play today traces to those fateful days and the fallout thereof, including censorship, the entrenchment of industry-government oligarchs, the corruption of media and tech, the educational upheaval, the abuse of courts and law, and the developing financial and banking crisis.

And yet hardly anyone wants to speak about the topic frankly. It is too upsetting. There is too much at stake. We cannot risk being canceled, the single greatest fear of every aspirational professional in today's world. Plus too many powerful people were in on it and don't want to admit it. It would appear that the whole subject is being memoryholed in ways of which they all approve.

In the wake of the of the recent mass shooting at the Nashville based Covenant Christian School in which three children and three staff were murdered by a trans activist (a biological woman named Audrey Hale) one would think that questions of mental health would be at the forefront of the discussion on what exactly happened. However, not surprisingly, Hale is instead being treated as a "victim" herself among leftists - A victim of society and a victim of an insidious anti-trans "genocide" that activists assure us is happening everywhere in America even though we can't seem to find any evidence of it.

The political left has gone into overdrive in order to do spin control on the shooting, with pro-trans propaganda being flooded into every information venue by multiple corporations and government agencies. They are seeking to bury the lead story, and, much like pride month, saturate the market with a narrative of grievances and victimhood.

Some on the political left have even applauded Hale as a kind of folk hero. Others in the trans community have warned that we "will respect them," otherwise we might be responsible for even more trans people going insane and killing even more children. They have even turned Hale's attack into an excuse for gun bans. The leftists created a monster, and now they are using the destruction wrought by that monster to their advantage.
