Uganda signs anti-gay bill into law that calls for death penalty in some cases

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed one of the world's harshest anti-LGBTQ bills into law on Monday.

The Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023, which was introduced in Uganda's Parliament in early March, calls for the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality," which is defined as cases of same-sex relations involving people who are HIV positive as well as with minors and other categories of vulnerable people. Anyone else who engages in gay sex could face life imprisonment if convicted, while anyone caught trying to have same-sex relations could face up to 10 years in prison.

Ugandan Parliament Speaker Anita Annet Among was the first to announce on Twitter that the president had signed the bill into law, saying Museveni had "answered the cries of our people."

"I thank His Excellency, the president, for his steadfast action in the interest of Uganda," Among tweeted. "With a lot of humility, I thank my colleagues the Members of Parliament for withstanding all the pressure from bullies and doomsday conspiracy theorists in the interest of our country."

An earlier draft of the legislation also criminalized "the offence of homosexuality," meaning anyone who identifies as LGBTQ or "any other sexual or gender identity that is contrary to the binary categories of male and female" may be subject to imprisonment of up to 10 years if convicted. Lawmakers passed that version of the bill in late March after several readings and hours of debate. The proposed legislation was then sent to the president, who subsequently returned the bill to Parliament in April, asking for changes that would differentiate between identifying as LGBTQ and actually engaging in homosexual acts amid outcries from human rights groups and Western governments. Lawmakers passed an amended version of the bill in early May that does not criminalize those who identify as LGBTQ.

Homosexuality was already illegal in Uganda, as in over 30 of Africa's 54 countries. It was first criminalized in the East African nation under colonial laws, but there had never been a conviction for consensual same-sex sexual activity since independence from Britain in 1962.

Human rights advocates had said they plan to challenge the legislation in court if it's signed into law.

Prior to the bill's signing, members of Uganda's LGBTQ community reported being on the end of increasing discrimination and violence. Many said they are worried about their personal liberties and safety.

"There are no words to describe the feeling of being persecuted by everyone around you, just for being yourself, for being who you are," Atuhaire, a Kampala-based member of Uganda's LGBTQ community, told ABC News in March, using only their first name to protect their personal safety.

"The vitriol and we receive daily on social media has always been vicious, but nothing like the last few months," Grace, a Ugandan LGBTQ activist, also told ABC News in March.

Planned Parenthood Directors Admit Under Oath That They Sold Aborted Baby Parts

Sixteen unsealed excerpts of sworn video testimony from Planned Parenthood executives was released yesterday by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), which shows in their own words that Planned Parenthood was involved in obtaining “donations” of fetal tissue organs from women having abortions, only to illegally sell it to middle-man organ procurement companies for profit.

The video testimony was presented in court during a trial last fall in a case* brought by Planned Parenthood against the CMP members who were involved in the undercover investigation into Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted baby parts for profit. Among the defendants was Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, who served as a CMP board member at the time of the investigation.

“From the beginning, we have been prevented from discussing evidence incriminating to Planned Parenthood, due to a gag order issued by the court. This allowed only Planned Parenthood’s false narrative to reach the public,” said Troy Newman. “In fact, the truth about Planned Parenthood’s illegal baby body parts trade has been suppressed for twenty years, since Mark Crutcher of Life Dynamics, Inc. conducted the first investigation on this subject in 2000. Now, with the unsealing of this testimony and other evidence, the truth is finally being told.”

One particularly incriminating exchange was during the video testimony of Tram Nguyen, Abortion Center Administrator for Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast (PPGC). She was asked by defense counsel about an e-mail stream between her and the Regional Medical and Surgical Services Director of PPGC.

Nguyen agreed in that e-mail exchange that she wanted to move forward with an attached contract that would have paid PPGC $750.00 per fetal liver and $1,600.00 per fetal liver/thymus pair.

Planned Parenthood has publicly lied to Congress and the media since 2015, by telling them that they had “rebuffed” this contract.

Iran claims to nab 14 members of ‘terrorist team’ linked to Israel

Judicial official says squad planned to carry out assassinations of ‘various individuals,’ without providing details

Iran arrested 14 members of a “terrorist team” with alleged ties to Israel that planned on carrying out assassinations in the country, local media reported Monday.

A judicial official announced the 14 were detained in northwestern Iran “as they were seeking to identify and assassinate various individuals,” the semiofficial Tasnim news agency reported, without providing any further information.

Iran occasionally announces the detention of people it says are spying for foreign countries, including the United States and Israel, without providing proof to back up such claims. The Islamic Republic has been engaged in a shadow war with the Jewish state for years, with Tehran accusing Jerusalem of being behind a series of sabotage attacks and assassinations targeting its nuclear program, carried out alongside the US.

In February, Iran claimed to arrest “mercenaries” it alleged carried out a drone strike on a defense facility in the city of Isfahan a month prior.

Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi will travel to meet senior officials in Washington, DC, this week to discuss the Iranian threat, according to a US media report in the news site Axios last week.

An official in the Prime Minister’s Office said dates have not been finalized, while a White House National Security Council spokesperson told Axios there was nothing to confirm.

State Department Won’t Say If It’s Working to Free US Citizen Detained in Ukraine

The State Department has refused to say if it’s engaging with the Ukrainian government over American citizen Gonzalo Lira, who was detained by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) due to his political views on the conflict with Russia.

Lira has a popular YouTube channel and a large following on Twitter and Telegram. He is also a writer who has contributed to several media outlets, including Business Insider. Lira was born in California and is a dual citizen of the US and Chile and had been living in Kharkiv, Ukraine, throughout the war.

Lira is a critic of the Ukrainian government and was arrested by the SBU on charges of justifying the Russian invasion. “After the start of the full-scale invasion, the blogger was one of the first to support the Russian invaders and glorify their war crimes,” the SBU said in a press release referring to Lira.

The SBU also accused Lira of “discrediting the top military and political leadership and the Defense Forces of our state.” He was charged under sections 2 and 3 of Article 436-2 of Ukraine’s criminal code, which outlaws the “distribution of materials” that justify Russia’s actions going back to 2014.

Epoch Times reporter Liam Cosgrove asked State Department spokesman Matthew Miller if the administration was aware of Lira’s detainment and how the US feels about Ukraine arresting an American for speech.

USA Today backs male athletes playing in women's sports, calls ESPN contributor a 'bigot' for demanding fairness in competition

"This is, and always was, about hate, fear and ignorance."

USA Today’s Nancy Armour attacked ESPN broadcaster Sam Ponder in a column on Sunday over Ponder's defense of women's sports. Ponder and her ESPN colleague Sage Steele offered support for former college swimmer and outspoken advocate for to save women's sports Riley Gaines.

Gaines tied with Lia Thomas, a biological male who identifies as a woman, in the 2022 NCAA Championship. Thomas won a national title the night before the tie performance.

Gaines tweeted the messages she received about transgender high school runners participating in the girls’ division in California. The runners had notably backed out after backlash.

Ponder tweeted, "I barely said anything publicly abt this issue & I’ve had so many ppl msg me, stop me in the street to say thank you+ tell me stories abt girls who are afraid to speak up for fear of lost employment/being called hateful. It is not hateful to demand fairness in sports for girls."

In her column, Armour called Ponder’s comment "plain old bigotry", writing, "Don’t be fooled by the people who screech about ‘fairness’ to cloak their bigotry toward transgender girls and women, the transgender girls and women who have the audacity to want to play sports, in particular.”

She added, "This is, and always was, about hate, fear and ignorance."

Armour continued, "Did Ponder use her platform to express outrage at any of this? Urge her nearly half-million followers on Twitter to write or call their representatives and ask that women be given the funding and opportunities they rightfully deserve? Did she publicly participate in any of the many excellent documentaries, videos and commentary ESPN did to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Title IX last year? Or even Tweet about them?"

"No, she did not. Her public concern about ‘fairness’ for female athletes starts and stops with the minuscule number of transgender women who are participating in sports."

Armour also claimed Ponder put transgender people at further risk with her tweets "by further amplifying the bogeyman that cisgender women’s participation in sports is being threatened by transgender girls and young women," and concluded that Ponder’s opinions have nothing to do with "fairness."

A Washington Post-KFF poll released earlier this month showed the majority of American adults believe gender is determined at birth and are against biological males competing in women’s sports. Most people do not believe men are women simply because those men say so.

REVEALED: How America’s CIA Merged With Nazi Intelligence

“Honest and idealist….enjoys good food and wine.…unprejudiced mind…”

That’s how a 1952 Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) assessment described Nazi ideologue Emil Augsburg, an officer at the infamous Wannsee Institute, the SS think tank involved in planning the Final Solution. Augsburg’s SS unit performed “special duties,” a euphemism for exterminating Jews and other “undesirables” during the Second World War. Although he was wanted in Poland for war crimes, Augsburg managed to ingratiate himself with the U.S. CIA, which employed him in the late 1940s as an expert on Soviet affairs. Recently released CIA records indicate that Augsburg was among a rogue’s gallery of Nazi war criminals recruited by U.S. intelligence agencies shortly after Germany surrendered to the Allies. Pried loose by Congress, which passed the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act three years ago, a long-hidden trove of once-classified CIA documents confirms one of the worst-kept secrets of the cold war–the CIA’s use of an extensive Nazi spy network to wage a clandestine campaign against the Soviet Union.

Top Court Judges Must Realize That 'Jews Don’t Want to Live With Arabs,’ Israel's Justice Minister Says

'Arabs buy apartments in Jewish communities in the Galilee and this is causing Jews to leave these areas because they don’t want to live with Arabs,' Justice Minister Levin said as part of his pitch for letting the governing coalition control judicial appointments

Justice Minister Yariv Levin said on Monday that judges must understand that Jews “don’t want to live with Arabs,” in an attempt to justify his plan to give the government control over the appointment of judges, Israel’s public broadcaster Kan reported.

UN Executive Director Blows Whistle: Global Elite Are ALL Pedophiles

The only thing I don't agree with Calin Georgescu about is that UN ever has been a good and fair organization. It was started by the same globalist kabbalah as all other satanic forums, the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers, who also are in control of the Trilateral Commision, the Bilderberg meeting and Council on Foregn Relations. The world domination kabbalah=Agenda 21. LGBQIAP and transgender are all a part of the same satanic agenda as replacement migration and the bioweapon depopulation = to destroy humanity.

IN-DEPTH: Transgender Movement Has ‘Dangerous’ Hidden Motivations, Says Former LGBT Activist

She left the work, she says, because it was grooming children to accept LGBT identities and was funded by international agencies

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Despite consumer opposition, companies believe backing transgenderism will win them more long-term cash because it has the approval of global regulatory power players, according to women’s rights activist Kay Yang.

The push is part of a philosophical movement aimed at allowing for customization of the human body with sex-change surgery, technological advances, and more, she said. And companies seek to be part of this fast-growing lucrative industry.

Yang speaks with authority on the push to build acceptance for transgenderism. She’s seen that cabal from the inside.

Until she left in disgust, Yang worked passionately as an LGBT activist, she said. Her employer received funding to push the acceptance of transgenderism across society. The money came from within the United States and abroad.

She’s speaking out now about her alarm as she watches a cavalcade of corporations launch marketing campaigns that celebrate transgenderism, despite customer outrage.

Sure, some companies are losing money now, she said. But they believe it will be worth it over the long term.

“That money, to them, is nothing,” Yang told The Epoch Times. Those companies are “being promised that, ‘OK, you might lose a little bit now. But you’ll make it in the new economy. And you’ll still be here.

“And all the businesses that don’t go along with this—we’ll make sure that they’re excluded.'”

It’s a coordinated effort, a conspiracy, she said, promoted by global organizations like the World Economic Forum (WEF).

And it’s why corporations, government organizations, and nonprofits have joined forces to push acceptance of transgenderism on a largely unwilling populace, Yang said.

‘Back to Reality’

Yang left LGBT activism behind, she said, when she realized the movement was leading children to accept certain sexual ideas and normalize the ideas of sexual acts.

It was grooming them, she said.

The horror of that hit her when she learned a transgender-identifying man in her circle of friends had molested a 16-year-old boy, she said. No one seemed alarmed.

She can’t disclose details publicly because of fear of retribution, she said. But she showed public records of his criminal charges to an Epoch Times reporter. The man’s name is on the sex offender registry, The Epoch Times confirmed.

This brought Yang “back to reality,” she said. She had to accept that LGBT grooming of children was real.

Though she’d been an advocate for LGBT causes, she became repulsed by them.

She’s not surprised to see American brands including Target, Bud Light, and Adidas celebrating transgenderism in their products and marketing, even after widespread consumer outrage.

Blood in the Balkans: Albanian Kosovo Police Invades Serbian-Controlled Municipalities to Depose Elected Mayors – Serbian Citizens React Violently – NATO Peacekeepers Clash With Protesters

Tensions are flaring again between Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo.

Albanian Kosovo police entered Serb majority towns in the north of the separatist region, broke through the barricades erected by the Serb population, and after fierce clashes with citizens, occupied the mayor office in the towns, preparing to replace the duly elected Serbian mayors with Albanian-backed ones.

As the Serb population converged upon these places, KFOR peacekeepers from NATO have created a buffer zone in these places, protecting the Kosovo police in the invaded buildings.

On Friday (May 28th), Albanian armored vehicles were sighted in Kosovska Mitrovica, Leposavić, and Zubin Potok, forming convoys.

Kosovo forces attempted to enter government buildings in Serb-majority towns and cities of unrecognized Kosovo, prompting furious reaction from locals who come out in force against police intrusion.

Clashes between members of the Kosovo special forces and Serbian officers of community self-government bodies took place in the north of Kosovo – special forces used stun grenades.

Kosovo police finally managed to disperse Serb protesters who have gathered in front of city halls to prevent Albanian officials from entering.

Albanian Kosovo’s ROSU forces seize municipalities from Serbian control with casualties, and Kosovo police clash with protesting Serbs, using tear gas and stun grenades.

After the Kosovo security forces stormed the administration building of the municipality of Zubin Potok, the Albanians removed the Serbian flag and hoisted the symbol of the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo.

Gunfire on the streets as Kosovo police clashed with protesters also in town of Zvecan.

Serbian Defense Minister Milos Vucevic stated that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic had signed the order to increase combat readiness and added that the situation in Kosovo and Metohija was dramatic.

Tony Abbott calls for Anthony Albanese to announce 'big new package of assistance' for Ukraine at NATO meeting in July

Speaking after a 42-hour-trip to Kiev, Tony Abbott has called for Australia to provide Ukraine with Hawkei armoured vehicles as part of a "big new package of assistance" to help them fight for freedom.

Speaking to Sky News Australia after visiting Ukraine for the Kiev Security Forum, Mr Abbott said it was “very important to show solidarity” with the Ukrainian people, because “they aren't just fighting for their own freedom – they're fighting for freedom everywhere”.

“If dictators can get away with genocidal war in one part of the world, there's no reason why they won't try it in our part of the world too,” Mr Abbott told Sky News host Peta Credlin.

The former prime minister said Australia had done “very well” helping Ukraine since the invasion, noting the Morrison government sent Bushmasters to help the country earlier last year.

Mr Abbott also highlighted the Albanese government had sent troops to help train the Ukrainian army in the United Kingdom, but said not been much done in 2023.

“I'm very much hoping when the Prime Minister goes to NATO in July, he goes armed with a big new package of assistance, including more Bushmasters and some of the Hawkeye light armored cars,” Mr Abbott said.

“Because let's face it, we've got 1,000 Bushmasters, and we've got about 1,000 Hawkeyes, and I reckon they would be more useful in Ukraine fighting for freedom than sitting in a depo here in Australia.”

Australia has donated 90 Bushmaster Protected Mobility Vehicles to Ukraine as part of $510 million in military assistance provided since the Russian invasion.

However, the government has rejected Ukrainian appeals to provide the Hawkei, a light armoured four-wheel-drive patrol vehicle produced in the same Bendigo factory.

According to reports in The Australian, the Defence Department ruled out sending any of Australia’s 1,100 Hawkei vehicles as the entire fleet needs to be recalled to fix a fault with the anti-lock braking system.

But, according to Ukraine’s ambassador to Australia, the fault is “not an issue” for them.

Designer of Satanist Apparel Says ‘I Don’t Believe in Satan’ After Target Pulls Brand’s Merchandise

The designer, a gay, transgender man — a biological woman attracted to males — who goes by Erik Carnell, then explained that Satanists “don’t actually believe in Satan:”

He is merely used as a symbol of passion, pride, and liberty. He means to you what you need him to mean. So for me, Satan is hope, compassion, equality, and love. So, naturally, Satan respects pronouns. He loves all LGBT+ people. I went with a variation of Baphomet for this design, a deity who themself is a mixture of genders, beings, ideas, and existences. They reject binary stereotypes and expectations. Perfect.

The designer used hashtags including #satan, #baphomet, #satanictemple, and #thesatanictemple.

FOR THE CLOSURE OF THE NOW-SPACE-AUTHORIZATION.

Liberal US Cities Top Global List For Highest Homelessness Problem

Insider Monkey, a finance website, revealed a list of the top 30 cities worldwide with the highest homeless population. Notably, a handful of the US cities on the list are governed by progressive leadership, which may not surprise readers. While it is evident that some unfortunate individuals are facing homelessness, a trend exacerbated by recent inflationary pressures and a drug addiction crisis, some liberal policies have enabled others to sustain their nomadic lifestyles with taxpayer funds.

Insider Monkey found New York City is number 5 on the list, with a homeless population of about 69,000. Next is Chicago, at number 7 with 65,611. Washington, DC, is number 8 with 57,416, Los Angeles number 13 with 41,980, and San Fransisco number 14 with 38,000.

Even with the US government spending $54 billion on several programs to tackle the homelessness crisis, hundreds of thousands of Americans are still wandering the streets. This has been made worse by inflation in recent years and an out-of-control drug addiction crisis.

As for the rest of the world, Manila, Philippines, ranks number 1 with a staggering 3 million homeless. Buenos Aires, Argentina, is number 2 with 198,000. Moscow, Russia, is number 3 with 100,000, and Kanpur, India, is number 4 with 81,000.

NATO troops brawl with Serbs (VIDEO)

Footage shows the moment violence broke out in the town of Zvecan

Video footage published by RT Balkan shows the moment that a protest by Serbs in northern Kosovo devolved into a melee between the demonstrators and NATO’s Kosovo Force (KFOR).

The protestors faced off against KFOR soldiers outside municipal buildings in the town of Zvecan on Monday morning, where a newly-installed ethnic Albanian mayor was set to take office following an election boycotted by the town’s Serb majority.

The video shows two groups of protesters sitting near the soldiers in a peaceful manner, one immediately in front of the camera and the other further away. A loud explosion erupts from the direction of the latter group, followed by a succession of similar bangs. NATO forces throw tear gas into the crowd, who respond by throwing rocks at the troops.

RT Balkan’s reporter on the scene stated that KFOR provoked the clashes by firing the first stun grenade, but this is not immediately apparent from the images.

Around 50 protesters went to a hospital in nearby Mitrovica with injuries, and two were admitted to the emergency room, RT Balkan reported. 25 KFOR soldiers were injured in the melee, the force announced in a statement.

Tensions have remained high in northern Kosovo since April, when the region’s Serb majority boycotted elections backed by the ethnic Albanian administration in Pristina. Kosovo authorities treated the election results – which saw four ethnic Albanian mayors win in uncontested races – as legitimate, despite a turnout of less than 4%.

Following the melee on Monday, NATO and Western officials blamed the Serb protesters for instigating violence. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic accused Kosovo’s Albanian prime minister, Albin Kurti, of trying to “provoke a major conflict between the Serbs and NATO,” and warned that Serbia “will not allow a pogrom or the killing of its people.”
