Last weekend, ‘thugs for hire’ terrorized the town of Yuen Long, Hong Kong, beating up anti-extradition, pro-freedom, pro-democracy protesters. Two days ago, University of Toronto professor, Lynette H. Ong in an article for the Washington Post, noted that there were reports the “thugs for hire” were connected to organized crime, however Ong said that there was evidence to suggest ‘that the attacks were orchestrated by pro-Beijing forces, with one pro-Beijing lawmaker reportedly congratulating the attackers.’[i] Whether from a plausible deniability angle or open allegiance, authoritarian governments are historically known for outsourcing organized 3rd party mobs to do their bidding.

World swimming body FINA has levered podium protests at its Gwangju world championships as an opportunity to ban religious expression by competitors at all future FINA events. The new Code of Conduct provision entitled “rules of conduct during the competition” was enacted after an alleged drug cheat was snubbed at two official FINA medal ceremonies. The two new clauses, which could breach international human rights (ICCPR Article 18), effectively ban religious statements or behaviour “during competition” and appear to apply to all modes of communication, including social media. The new code of conduct, according to News.com.au, reads: “The competitors shall…

A feminist, LGBTQ activist has stripped naked in front of stunned school-aged children at an art gallery to protest artworks she deemed “sexist.” Activist Mare Tralla reportedly opened the feminist exhibition “Woman and Woman” at the Pärnu City Gallery in Estonia with a “performance” that involved covering the artworks of Marko Mäetamm with anti-sexism slogans.

The Victorian Government has reintroduced a bill to Parliament which would make it easier for transgender adults and children to change the gender on their birth certificate to any gender descriptor of their choosing. Individuals wishing to change their gender can do so through a statutory declaration simply stating that they believe they are the sex they have nominated. If the person wishing to change their gender does not identify as either male or female, an option will be provided for the individual to mark “X”. “Equality is not negotiable,” Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said. “And we are well known,…

A scientifically accurate, pro-life billboard in New South Wales will be immediately removed after members of the community voiced outrage. The billboard was created by pro-life group Emily’s Voice, and depicts a pregnant woman along with the words: “A heart beats at four weeks.” Despite the fact that the claim is entirely accurate, Transport Minister Andrew Constance called the adverts “appalling,” after pulling the same graphic from buses last month. According to Nine News, a spokesperson for the billboard company said the ad was reviewed and not found to breach any of its advertising codes, however, following the backlash the…

Police in Scotland have arrested a man for painting “Islam is questionable” on his own house. Arresting officers accused Graham Evans of “breach of peace” after the Edinburgh man painted “alarming” and “distressing” phrases on his own property, such as: “Islam is questionable”, “Leave Means Leave” and “Brexit”.

Speaking with Kipper Central, Mr Evans said: “I was completely shocked when Police car after Police car pulled up. They had a big meeting in…

Activists trying to rally Australians around the idea of Indigenous Australian representation in Parliament have tied their argument in knots. Their message is vague, and their reliance on the simplistic slogan, “Indigenous voice” provides little clarity about what direction they’re advocating Australians take. As a result, the push for an “Indigenous voice” has been interpreted as one of two things: a) call for another advisory group, or b) a call for an entirely new governing body.[i] The latter can only be interpreted as a push for a ‘third branch of Government’, and the former, as a push to return to…

Lawmakers in Ohio are attempting to put an end to child drag performances after footage emerged of a nine-year-old “drag queen” accepting money from adults as he danced for their entertainment. Republican state representative Tim Schaffer has introduced a new bill that would make drag performances illegal for “a child under eighteen years of age or a mentally or physically handicapped child twenty-one years of age. The bill would update Ohio’s current child endangerment laws to prohibit parents from putting on performances with their kids that “appeal to prurient interest.” If the bill is passed, offending parents of children performing…

A woman in Brazil has violently pushed a priest off a stage after she broke through security during last Sunday’s service. Marcelo Rossi was delivering a message in Cachoeira Paulista, São Paulo, when the unidentified woman rushed the stage and shoved the priest in the back, causing him to topple over the edge. It’s unclear what triggered the woman, however, a number of news websites have suggested she attacked the priest because of comments he’d made about fat people and homosexuals. Other reports say the priest made no such comments, claiming rather that the woman suffers from a mental disorder.…

One of the obvious issues with ‘hate speech’ rules is just how arbitrarily they can be applied by those in power. Take Facebook, for instance: This week we were banned not only for referring to Islamic terrorists as “Muslims”, but also for an article we shared which was critical of Facebook for using ‘hate speech’ violations as a means of censoring unapproved ideas. According to Facebook, breaching their standards and policy “could lead to limitations such as a Page being unpublished, reduced distribution and more.” It’s becoming a real issue, as anyone following Senator Ted Cruz and the Senate Judiciary…

The New York Times has published a bizarre piece today, suggesting the Apollo program is inherently sexist because it was created “by men, for men.” “To make it to the Moon, women have to escape Earth’s gender bias,” the article states. “The Apollo program was designed by men, for men. But NASA can learn from its failures as it aims to send women to the moon and beyond.” The Apollo program was designed by men, for men. If we do not acknowledge the gender bias of the early space program, it becomes difficult to move past it. https://t.co/Mt7rVLgAaf — The…

An article recently published by The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age makes the claim that Israel Folau’s “controversial” Instagram post was a “misquote of the Bible.” The piece attempts to prove this point by suggesting Folau’s post was a citation of Galatians 5:19-21, a passage which makes no mention of “homosexuality” or even “hell” for that matter. “Note however, that Galatians 5:19-21 does not, in any translation, mention homosexuals,” the author said. “Folau and whoever wrote the original post have projected homosexuality into the promiscuous category. That is their bias.” “You will notice that there is nothing in the…

Three left-leaning academics were stunned to discover several ridiculously fake papers they’d penned were accepted and published by prominent academic journals. The trio, fed-up with the political corruption that’s taken hold of the universities, submitted a number of papers written on ridiculous subjects to 20 prominent academic journals in the fields of gender, race, and sexuality. Seven of the submitted papers were accepted and published by the journals. One of the papers, which was honoured as “excellent scholarship,” claimed that dog humping incidents at dog parks can be taken as “evidence of rape culture.” “I closely and respectfully examined the…
