Questioning the idea that gender is a social construct is seemingly a no-no in Swedish feminist circles, as it cost a renowned journalist her participation in a conference.

Swedish journalist Kajsa "Ekis" Ekman was scheduled to participate in a porn-related conference in Gothenburg earlier this week. However, her attendance was canceled after she wrote a text in which she claimed that gender was "biological."

The conference on the connection of pornography with prostitution was organized by the National Organization for Women's Shelters (Roks), which asked Ekman for an article about gender.

"In her opinion piece and subsequent replies, Kajsa Ekman was skeptical about the fact that gender is something a person themselves gets to define. This is not consistent with Roks' ideology," the organization wrote on its website.

Man accused of kidnapping British model Chloey Ayling claims she fabricated story to become famous

The man accused of kidnapping aspiring British model Chloe Ayling has claimed the whole ordeal was "fabricated" to make her famous. Lukasz Herba faces court in Italy on Wednesday over accusations he abducted the 20-year-old before holding her hostage for six days.

Ayling hit the headlines in July after she was found in Italy, having been shoved into a suitcase in an alleged kidnap and ransom plot. Ayling claims that she was offered a modeling job in Milan, but on arrival was snatched and drugged by a group calling itself Black Death - which is accused of selling sex slaves to the Middle East.

Six days later, she was found outside the British embassy. Young mum Chloe was reportedly spared after telling the kidnappers she had a child.

Herba, a 30-year-old Polish national, is in custody in Milan after his arrest. He denies knowingly taking part in a crime. His brother Michal Herba was also charged with being involved in the kidnapping.

Update (Feb. 22): Lukasz Herba has now told a court the same thing, that the stated kidnapping was concocted to make Chloe Ayling famous since she was 'desperate to become rich and famous'. Since both Herba and Ayling have changed their stories, there seems to be little faith that either is telling the truth. The judge is considering ordering Herba to undergo psychiatric tests.

American diplomats and election monitors barred from Russian presidential election

US diplomats and staff of various American organizations will not be allowed to monitor the upcoming Russian presidential election, in reply to a similar ban issued by the US in 2016, the Russian deputy foreign minister has said.

"As for the American diplomats and workers of the offices of various US organizations in Russia, they will not be permitted to participate in this process [poll monitoring], considering the fact that during the 2016 elections in the US the staff of Russian organizations in the US were denied such an opportunity," Sergey Ryabkov was quoted as saying on Thursday by Interfax.

The deputy minister also added that this would not apply to US citizens who work for the monitoring mission of the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights.

Russian Olympic Committee pays $15mln to IOC for reinstatement, may be able to fly Russian flag at closing ceremony

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has received a sizeable amount of money from the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), which had to pay $15 million for reinstatement of its suspended membership.

On Thursday, the ROC paid the required sum to the Olympic governing body for the restoration of its membership, which might allow the national athletes to march under their national flag at the PyeongChang closing ceremony.

In December, the IOC ruled to suspend the ROC and ban several top Russian officials, including former sports minister, Vitaly Mutko, as a penalty for alleged doping during the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

More than 50 Russian team members, who the Olympic body had suspected of doping, were slapped with life bans for any future Olympic Games and had their 2014 games results annulled by the IOC.

Met police officer's secret role in mink farm operation exposed

The Metropolitan police in the UK has apologized to the Hampshire Constabulary for failing to reveal that an undercover officer was involved in the release of 6,000 mink from a fur farm 20 years ago.

The raid in Crow Hill Farm near Ringwood in 1998 was carried out by an animal rights group which had been infiltrated by the Metropolitan Police, the force said. No charges were ever brought over the raid which saw the release of thousands of mink - many of which were killed to protect livestock and pets.

The cover up 'impacted' the Hampshire police investigation, Assistant Commissioner Helen Ball admitted in a Met statement apologizing for the force's actions.

Gaffes and apologies: The perils of live microphones tripping up NBC's Olympics

Television personnel work inside of the International Broadcast Center at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2018. Live television has always presented challenges, but NBC's Olympic stumbles this month have unfolded before an audience ready to pounce.

Every two years, a miracle of technology unfolds: televising and streaming an Olympics with miles of cable, hundreds of cameras and producers who make split-second decisions on which pictures to beam halfway around the world.

So it's with a certain irony that when NBC has had problems in Pyeongchang, it has all been very simple: one person, one live microphone and some 20 million critics. The network has apologized - or not - for a handful of gaffes seen as insults by South Koreans, by the Dutch, by women athletes, by ski fans.

Live television and the risks that it brings are nothing new. The climate surrounding it is.

"Live TV used to be fleeting," says Brett Kurland, a broadcast professor and director of sports programs at Arizona State University. "Something would happen, and you would either see it or you didn't. Now if you say something that someone doesn't like, they'll cut it into a GIF and post it on the Internet. Before you know it, it blows up on your Twitter feed."

If you scratch a Russian you'll find a demon

How will America defeat the Russian menace?

According to the recently published treatise by the Special Council Robert Mueller, the treatise also known as Mallēus Maleficārum, a number of demonic Russians, thirteen to be exact, were involved in all sort of nefarious activities on the territory of the United States. One of the charges claims that "after the election of Donald Trump in or around November 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators used false U.S. personas to organize and coordinate U.S. political rallies in support of then president-elect Trump, while simultaneously using other false U.S. personas to organize and coordinate U.S. political rallies protesting the results of the 2016 U.S. presidential election."

Indeed, similar to the medieval witches and demons, Russians love to sow the discord.

Americans, known for being loving, caring, happy-campers before Russians came along, are now discovering that they were the subject of endless Russian manipulation going very deep into their history.

British subjects, arriving from their peaceful isle, have brought the good will and all their good products for the native population. In return, they were greeted with turkeys, and gravy, and pumpkin pies. Yet, the conniving Russians have taught both sides to hate and kill each other. They also taught Anglos to give the natives a special drink, known as vodka. Consequently, there are no more natives to talk about.

Comment: How is this for anti-Russian hysteria?

The new Idiocracy consensus is that Russia committed an "act of war" on par with Pearl Harbor and 9/11 - should the US respond accordingly?

Too many "happy white dancing people"? Hungarian mayor outraged at exclusion from EU culture contest

Hungarian folk dancers

A Hungarian city's bid to become the European Union's next "Capital of Culture" was allegedly rejected by EU officials because its video entry showed too many smiling, dancing, white Christians, the city's mayor says.

Székesfehérvár, Hungary's ninth-largest city, submitted a short video as part of its entry for the 2023 European Capitals of Culture contest, a competition designed to "celebrate the cultural features Europeans share." Featuring folk dancers, young couples, mothers, babies and even two elderly gentlemen playing chess in a park, the video was rejected. The EU panel of "independent experts in the field of culture" felt it had too many happy white people and not enough migrants, the city's mayor Dr András Cser-Palkovics has claimed.

Comment: It remains to be seen if the mayors claims are true, but what we do know is that Hungary is suffering the wrath of EU bureaucrats for refusing to kowtow to mandates on refugees, and from others for its ousting of Soros' NGO organisations:

Gang fight in London caught on camera as knife crime sweeps English capital

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has called for a meeting with Prime Minister Theresa May as knife crime in the capital hits crisis levels. Two people were stabbed to death on February 20 - the 14th and 15th knife deaths in 2018.

London Assembly figures showed there were 14,521 knife crime offenses in the capital in the 12 months to January 2018, with stabbings in London at their highest level in six years, a 23 percent rise from the previous year.

Comment: There are a number of factors contributing to the rise in crime in the UK, from the crashing economy, austerity cuts to public services, the deterioration of culture and society and the people being raised in it:

The US mission in Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, has urged people to avoid the area following a grenade attack on the diplomatic premises by an unknown assailant, who subsequently blew himself up with a second device.

The attack happened around 00:30 local time Thursday, when an "unknown person" threw an "explosive device" from the street into the US embassy compound, the government of Montenegro announced on Twitter. Authorities believe that the projectile thrown was a hand grenade. Immediately afterward the assailant "committed suicide with an explosive device," the statement added.

Police have started an investigation and are now looking into possible motives for the attack. Authorities swiftly blocked Revolution Boulevard where the country's National Security Agency and the US embassy are located. Further details of the incident are yet unclear.
