BACKFIRE: Israel Folau’s supporters raise over $1 million in just one day after GoFundMe campaign shut down
Israel Folau’s supporters have raised over $1.2million in just one day after GoFundMe shut down the former rugby star’s crowdfunded campaign to help with his legal battle with Rugby Australia.

GoFundMe said they will refund all donations back to Folau’s supporters. Nicola Britton, regional manager for GoFundMe Australia said the campaign was shut down because they will not tolerate the promotion of discrimination or exclusion. “As a company, we are absolutely committed to the fight for…
Family-friendly streaming service that filters out adult content ordered to pay $62 million to Hollywood film studios
A family-friendly streaming service has been ordered to pay $62.4 million to Disney, Warner Bros. and Fox after a judge ruled the service was illegal. VidAngel, a Utah-based streaming service which allows viewers to skip adult content, argued that their service was allowed under the federal Family Entertainment And Copyright Act which legalises tech to censor certain aspects of movies. U.S. District Judge Andre Birotte did not agree and ruled that the service was illegal. Jurors were left to decide the amount in damages, which resulted in VidAngel being ordered to pay a massive $62.4 million to the Hollywood studios.…
Israel Folau’s GoFundMe campaign shut down: ‘We don’t tolerate exclusion’
Israel Folau’s GoFundMe page has been shut down after the crowdfunding platform apparently found the campaign to be in violation of their terms of service. Folau, who is taking on Rugby Australia for his right to be included in the game after he was sacked for sharing a Bible verse on his personal Instagram account, is now being excluded by GoFundMe, once again, in the name of “inclusivity.” Think about that for a second. Nicola Britton, regional manager for GoFundMe Australia said: “Today we will be closing Israel Folau’s campaign and issuing full refunds to all donors. After a routine…

Muslim gangs in UK prisons beat inmates until they convert to Islam, Christian chaplain kicked out by Imam who had taken over as head chaplain
Muslim gangs in UK prisons are threatening and beating fellow-prisoners who refuse to convert to Islam, a report by the Ministry of Justice has revealed. “Other prisoners are scared of us,” a Muslim prisoner said. “They know they’re only going to three other jails and they know there will be brothers waiting there to stab them.” “Their tactic is to befriend someone when they come in,” a non-Muslim inmate explained. “If they don’t convert, they will then start spreading rumours about them, that the person is a snitch, so that they will be ostracised. Then the beatings follow.” According to…

Teen Vogue encourages young girls to become prostitutes
Teen Vogue, who this year told their young audience that abortion is safer than giving birth, and offered advice on obtaining abortions without parental consent, is now encouraging teenage girls to become prostitutes. The online teen magazine published a defence of prostitution, suggesting sex work is just as legitimate a career choice as being a doctor. In the piece titled, Why Sex Work Is Real Work, Dr Tlaleng Mofokeng outlandishly claimed being a sex worker is essentially no different to being a doctor with a medical degree. “I am a doctor,” she said, “an expert in sexual health, but when…
Media renews attacks on Israel Folau, now they’re going after him in his church
Israel Folau has come under fire yet again for saying absolutely nothing we didn’t already know. After Folau’s latest sermon was posted to his church’s Facebook page, mainstream news outlets took the opportunity to renew the assault on the former rugby star. Preaching at his Sydney church over the weekend, Folau “doubled-down on his homophobic beliefs,” “escalated” and “intensified his attacks on homosexuals,” “targeted transgender children“, and “criticised youths undergoing gender treatment,” according to news reports. The media, who constantly warn us about the dangers of being exposed to such a message, will no doubt draw even more attention to…

A student at a school in Scotland has been booted from class for suggesting there are only two genders. Footage uploaded to social media shows the teacher confronting the pupil, explaining that “unacceptable opinions”, even those which may be scientifically true, cannot be voiced in the school. “I think it’s silly to have anything other than two genders, sir,” the student said. “Anything else is a personal opinion.” “Would you please keep that opinion [in] your house. Not in this school,” the teacher responded. “So, you get to put your opinion out in class, but my opinion has to stay…
Illinois governor signs extreme bill allowing abortions up to the moment of birth
On Wednesday, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signed into law, what many are calling, one of the worst and most extreme abortion bills ever. According to Life Site News, “the so-called Reproductive Health Act (RHA) codifies a ‘fundamental right’ to abortion, establishes ‘that a fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus, does not have independent rights under the law,’ and repeals numerous restrictions and regulations on abortion, including protections against taxpayer funding of abortion and protections for infants after failed abortions.” The legislation, which Pritzker praised as a “beacon of hope” for “women’s fundamental rights,” allows abortion up to the moment of birth,…
Teen Vogue tells teenage girls how to get an abortion without their parents’ knowledge
Teen Vogue is now offering teenage girls advice on how to have an abortion behind their parents’ backs. In an article published last week, Nona Willis Aronowitz responded to a pregnant 16-year-old who wanted to get an abortion without requiring the permission of her pro-life parents. Aronowitz told the teen that she shouldn’t be ashamed of falling pregnant, despite being only 16-years old. “It’s only logical that if teens are mature enough to become parents, they are mature enough to decide whether or not they want to give birth,” Aronowitz said. “Having access to abortion should be your right, regardless…
Jordan Peterson to launch new censorship-free social media platform
Canadian academic Jordan Peterson has announced he’s creating a new social media platform that’s entirely censorship-free. Speaking with Joe Rogan last week, Peterson assured listeners that freedom will be the “central” aspect of the new platform saying, “once you’re on our platform we won’t take you down unless we’re ordered to by a US court of law.” ‘Thinkspot,’ as it’s been branded, will be designed to promote thought-through interactions through a minimum required length. Essentially, the opposite of Twitter’s 280 character maximum. Peterson explained: “If minimum comment length is 50 words, you’re going to have to put a little thought…
Parents sue ultrasound clinic for “wrongful birth” after their daughter was born with Down syndrome
A Queensland couple are suing the medical staff at a Gold Coast ultrasound clinic for “wrongful birth” after failing to diagnose their unborn daughter with Down syndrome. The parents, who gave birth to their daughter back in 2015, said they would have aborted the now four-year-old girl if they had known of her condition. In 2014 the couple were allegedly told by both a doctor and a sonographer that the risk of a chromosomal abnormality was in the “low range” and advised that further testing was unnecessary. The parents have indicated they will seek damages for child-rearing costs, with the…
