Neo-Nazis returning from Ukraine pose risk to French security – MP

About 100 fighters are taking part in the conflict, some of whom claim that they have to stop “Asian hordes,” lawmaker Frederic Mathieu has said

A French lawmaker has warned the nation’s interior ministry about the security threat posed by right-wing militants who left to fight for Kiev, but may eventually return home.

In a written question to Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin published on the parliament’s website on Tuesday, Frederic Mathieu, a member of the left-wing La France Insoumise party, sounded the alarm about the presence of French fighters in the Ukrainian international legion.

According to Mathieu, among the 400 French people who have left for Ukraine, “there are around a hundred combatants, most of whom have been clearly identified as part of the ultra-right movement.” Some of them already had military experience before their deployment, the MP added.

The lawmaker pointed out that the militants fight in Ukrainian units such as the Revanche Battalion, founded by members of the ultra-nationalist organization Tradition and Order, which was involved in violent clashes with Ukrainian police prior to the start of the conflict in February 2022.

The French fighters in question, Mathieu said, “shamelessly display flags and tattoos featuring neo-Nazi symbols on their social media accounts.” They also “justify their participation in this conflict by the fight for European civilization” and the “fight against the ‘Asian hordes’” while embracing white supremacy, he stated.

His comments came after Ukrainian media shared a picture of several members of the Revanche Battalion with blurred faces and covered in tattoos associated with Nazi ideology.

Mathieu also recalled, citing French officials, that the danger of right-wing extremist terrorism has increased in recent years. He asked Darmanin whether he understood the risks associated with the return of right-wing individuals to France and whether “the necessary measures have been put in place” to prevent unfortunate incidents.

The French Interior Minister has yet to reply to the inquiry.

Russia has repeatedly said that it views foreign mercenaries fighting for Ukraine as legitimate targets, noting that Kiev uses them as “cannon fodder.”

Iraq rebrands homosexuality – Reuters

Media companies must use the term ‘sexual deviance’, government regulations have decreed

The Iraqi government has reportedly ordered media companies to stop using the word ‘homosexuality’ and replace it with ‘sexual deviance’. With US influence in Iraq receding, traditional Islamic values are making a resurgence.

The National Communications and Media Commission of Iraq (NCMC) said on Tuesday that it “directs media organizations… not to use the term ‘homosexuality’ and to use the correct term ‘sexual deviance’,” Reuters reported.

The directive applies to news and entertainment media, as well as to internet and phone companies, which must ensure that their apps comply. The word ‘gender’ is also forbidden under the order, Reuters added.

A government spokesman said that a penalty for breaking the law has not yet been set, but may include a fine.

Iraq’s 1969 penal code did not explicitly criminalize homosexuality, but offered no protections from extrajudicial harassment to gays and lesbians. An update to the law in the 1980s legalized the ‘honor killing’ of homosexuals by their family members, while a 1993 amendment to the constitution introduced the death penalty for homosexual acts.

After the US invaded Iraq in 2003, occupation governor Paul Brenner abolished the death penalty and rolled the country’s penal code back to its 1969 iteration. While no new anti-gay laws have been passed since, Western media outlets reported an uptick in attacks on homosexuals by police and militias after the partial withdrawal of American forces in 2012, despite the US State Department claiming in 2019 that it trained Iraqi security forces “on the proper observance of human rights.”

The NCMC that issued the directive was set up by the US occupation government in 2004.

Earlier this summer, protesters in Baghdad burned rainbow-colored ‘Pride’ flags in response to a spate of Quran burnings in Sweden and Denmark.

EXCLUSIVA: Expolicías y Estatales Activos Relacionados con Tráfico de Armas

Las autoridades del estado fronterizo de Tamaulipas están investigando a miembros de su propia fuerza policial en relación con el tráfico clandestino de armas y vínculos con cárteles de la droga.

Dos casos diferentes apuntan a una red de policías activos y expolicías que no solo comercian armas, sino que tienen nexos con los cárteles de la droga.

Uno de los casos tuvo lugar la semana pasada cuando las fuerzas policiales en Ciudad Victoria arrestaron a Oscar Eduardo Soria Hernández, un lugareño que presuntamente amenazó a su esposa con un rifle. Sin embargo, durante la investigación del caso, se supo que Soria presuntamente comerciaba armas de forma clandestina en Ciudad Victoria e incluso tenía un tipo de catálogo. Breitbart Texas obtuvo información exclusiva que reveló que Soria estaba trabajando con un grupo de policías de Tamaulipas asignados a la zona norte del estado. Los policías supuestamente proporcionarían armas a Soria con fines lucrativos.

En un caso separado, la semana pasada, detectives de la Procuraduría General de Justicia de Tamaulipas arrestaron a Roberto Martínez Lugo, de 41 años, expolicía estatal por cargos de posesión de armas. La detención se produjo en Ciudad Victoria, donde Martínez salía de su casa portando cuatro fusiles envueltos en una cobija.

Aunque Martínez intentó darse a la fuga, las autoridades lo persiguieron y le incautaron las armas, que eran cuatro fusiles tipo AR-15. Los rifles tenían logotipos y letras de la facción CDN de Los Zetas y se cree que fueron utilizados por miembros del cártel en Ciudad Mante y ciudades vecinas. Las autoridades creen que Martínez estaba custodiando y moviendo las armas para los miembros del cartel.

Martínez había sido miembro de la Policía Estatal de Tamaulipas, pero había sido despedido por falta de confianza. Sin embargo, Martínez tenía una demanda en curso contra la institución en un intento por recuperar su trabajo.

Fuentes policiales revelaron a Breitbart Texas que Martínez estaba vinculado a un grupo de policías corruptos de una unidad motorizada que se disolvió después de un ataque en 2018 a la casa del gobernador. Tres oficiales de esa unidad enfrentaron cargos por ese ataque. Esa unidad de motocicletas ahora desaparecida también estaba bajo sospecha de otros crímenes incluso de la distribución local de drogas. Si bien las autoridades vincularon a Martínez con los policías de esa unidad, nunca lo arrestaron en esos otros casos.

EXCLUSIVE: Mexico Investigating Current, Former Border State Cops for Arms Trafficking

Authorities in the Mexican border state of Tamaulipas are looking into members of their own police force in connection with the underground trade of weapons and ties to drug cartels.

Two cases point to a network of current and former cops working with drug cartels. One of the cases occurred last week when police forces in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, arrested Oscar Eduardo Soria Hernandez — a local man who allegedly threatened his wife with a rifle.

While investigating the case, investigators learned that Soria allegedly ran an underground weapons store in Ciudad Victoria. Breitbart Texas obtained exclusive information that revealed that Soria was working with a group of Tamaulipas police officers assigned to the northern part of the state. The police officers allegedly would provide Soria with weapons for profit.

In a separate case last week, detectives with the Tamaulipas Attorney General’s Office arrested 41-year-old Roberto Martinez Lugo, a former state police officer on weapons charges. The arrest occurred in Ciudad Victoria, where Martinez was coming out of his home carrying four rifles wrapped in a blanket.

Even though Martinez tried to run away, authorities chased him down and seized the weapons. The weapons included four AR-15-type rifles. The rifles had logos and letters from the CDN faction of Los Zetas and are believed to have been used by cartel members in Ciudad Mante and neighboring cities. Authorities believe that Martinez was guarding and moving the weapons for cartel members.

Martinez had been a member of the Tamaulipas State Police but was dismissed for alleged ethical violations. The discharged cop is in the process of suing the police force in an attempt to get his job back.

Law enforcement sources revealed to Breitbart Texas that Martinez is tied to a group of corrupt police officers from a motorcycle unit disbanded after a 2018 attack on the Tamaulipas governor’s house. Three officers from that unit faced charges for that attack. That now-defunct motorcycle unit was also tied to the local distribution of drugs.

While authorities have linked Martinez to the cops from that unit, they never arrested him in those other cases.

Rep. Matt Gaetz Introducing ‘National Prayer in School Act’ to Defend Religious Freedom

Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz is introducing legislation called the “National Prayer in School Act” to ensure that students and staff can pray in schools without consequences.

The bill is intended to support a ruling from the Supreme Court in 2022 that defended religious freedom in the case of a football coach fired by the school district for praying before games.

The court had ruled, “nothing in the Constitution . . . prohibits any public school student from voluntarily praying at any time before, during, or after the school day.”

“God’s reach does not stop at the schoolhouse gates. Our country’s education policy forbids students and faculty from praying while endlessly promoting degenerate LGBT and anti-White propaganda,” Gaetz told the Daily Caller, which obtained an advance copy of the bill.

“My legislation unlocks religious freedom once again so that in every classroom in America, there will be time for students to pray if they choose,” Gaetz continued.

The congressman had discussed his intent to introduce this bill during Turning Point Action’s 2023 Action Conference.

BREAKING: @MattGaetz to introduce National Prayer In School Law 🙏

“In the coming days, I will introduce a national prayer in school law so that in every classroom in America, there will be time for students to pray if they want to.”

“For the limitations of man and God’s reach does not stop at the schoolhouse gates. In the coming days, I will introduce a national prayer in school law so that in every classroom in America, there will be time for students to pray if they choose,” Gaetz vowed. “And you know what, this beautiful new Supreme Court that President Trump gave us just might uphold a constitutional law like that based on the values that this country was built on.”

Earlier this week, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita introduced a new version of the “Indiana Parent’s Bill of Rights,” which also includes new protections for religious liberty.

“Many think our elementary and secondary schools are ‘religion-free’ zones, but religious freedom does not end at the school doors. Both state and federal laws protect religious freedom in public schools,” the Parent’s Bill of Rights reads.

The handbook informs parents, “You have the right to defend your child’s First Amendment rights to religious expression and free speech in a school environment.”

“Because prayer is private speech, students are allowed to pray at school during non-instructional time so long as the prayers are not disruptive or appear to be endorsed by the school or school officials,” the handbook states. “Indiana law requires a moment of silence each day of school so that each student may exercise their religion by praying or meditating during that moment.”

The handbook also informs parents that children can express their religious beliefs in classroom discussions and assignments. They are also expressly allowed to wear religious clothing, symbols, or jewelry, promote religious events, and distribute materials at school.

MTG: “I’m NOT Voting to Send MORE Money to a Foreign War to Kill MORE people!”

White House Resident Joe Biden’s administration will announce “$200 million of new weapons aid for Ukraine as soon as Tuesday,” U.S. officials told Reuters, as it begins “to dole out $6.2 billion of funds discovered after a Pentagon accounting error over-valued billions of Ukraine aid,” according to the report.

55% of Americans now oppose further funding for Antony Blinken and Victoria Nuland’s war in Ukraine, CNN reported.

Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene took to Twitter to protest the millions for more war:

NO MORE MONEY TO UKRAINE!!

We have NOT even finished funding our own military with the NDAA and the Biden admin is pulling an accounting scam to send more money to Ukraine!

They are beginning to dole out $6.2 billion of funds discovered after a Pentagon accounting error over-valued billions of Ukraine aid.

Plus they want Congress to pass another Ukraine supplemental by combining it with emergency flooding money.

This is WRONG and can NOT happen.…

This is WRONG and can NOT happen. We should only be funding money to help Americans with disaster relief, not forced to vote to fund Ukraine at the same time!

SEPARATE THE FUNDS because I’m NOT voting to send MORE money to a foreign war to kill MORE people! This is ridiculous!!

More Financial Ties Surface Linking Leon Black to Jeffrey Epstein – Billionaire Financier Was the Sole Donor to a Shady Charity Run by the Late Pedophile

Another week, another revelation about Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring is damaging the reputation of the rich and powerful.

Take for example Wall Street titan Leon Black – under renewed scrutiny for his long and close relationship with Epstein.

On one hand, he is being probed in the Senate – where the Finance Committee is investigating whether Black met his tax obligations in the more than $158million he paid Epstein for ‘tax advice’ – and also the reason why he did it in the first place.

At the same time, he has been on the press’ radar, for multiple reasons. To begin with, it surfaced that he paid $62million to the US Virgin Island government to keep prosecutors to involve him in litigation against the Epstein’s estate. And also, because the embattled financier is being sued by a ‘Jane Doe’ Epstein Trafficking Victim, who accuses him of rape and abuse.

And this week, even more financial ties between Black and Epstein have been uncovered.

Daily Mail reported:

“In 2015, Black donated $10million to Gratitude America, a charity run by Jeffrey Epstein with the vague mission of ‘supporting the expression of gratitude for the ideals of America’.”

It is a suspicious move, since that was the only donation that the ‘charity’ had received at the time – despite having existed for three years.

“In the same month, Guzel Ganieva – a Russian model who was Black’s mistress – received the first of what was supposed to be many $100,000 monthly payments to stay quiet about their relationship.

It came from a mysterious ‘E trust’, whereas all of the other money she’d received from Black was from his bank account. […] In total, she was due to receive $20million from Black as part of their deal.

In exchange, she signed an NDA agreeing to never speak of their romance, which involved meet-ups at an Upper East Side apartment across the street from where Black lives with his wife, Debra, and their children.”

Ganieva went public with her rape and harassment allegations in 2021, and when he accused her of lying, she sued for defamation.

She described the alleged sexual abuse, but her specific claims were redacted. She called him a ‘sadist’ with ‘abnormal’ sexual proclivities.

Her case was eventually dismissed due to the NDA she signed.

As it stands now, Leon Black is facing two suits from Epstein’s trafficking victims. One filed by Cheri Pierson in 2022, and the new one by a ‘Jane Doe’ with ‘mosaic Down syndrome’ and says he raped her when she was 16

Black strongly denies all accusations, and the suits are being litigated. Both women say his attacks happened at Jeffrey Epstein’s NY mansion.

Prosecutors from the US Virgin Island say Epstein’s criminal enterprise was bankrolled by money stored in the ‘Southern Trust Company’ from 2013 to 2017.

The total was $158million – the very same amount Black had given Epstein between 2012 and 2017.

His latest accuser, Jane Doe, has autism, which makes her vulnerable to grooming and alleged abuse.

Guns, Burner Phones and Fake Registrations – The Buried Michigan Voter Fraud Scandal: GBI Strategies Director Gary Bell Had 70 Organizations Operating in 20 States in 2020 – TIED TO JOE BIDEN CAMPAIGN

By Jim Hoft, Ben Wetmore and Patty McMurray

Special thanks to Phil O’Halloran and Lori Skibo and Kanekoa the Great.

On Tuesday, The Gateway Pundit broke a BLOCKBUSTER REPORT on 2020 voter fraud in Michigan.

The investigation had been buried by politicians, government investigators and the press.

On October 8, 2020, only one month before the 2020 general election, Muskegon, MI City Clerk Ann Meisch noticed a black female, whose name was later redacted from the police report, dropping off between 8,000-10,000 completed voter registration applications at the city clerk’s office. Clerk Meisch immediately noticed that the stacks of registrations included the same handwriting, non-existent addresses, and incorrect phone numbers.

The Muskegon Police Department was contacted and asked to investigate. On 10/21/20 First Lieutenant Mike Anderson was contacted by Tom Fabus, Chief of Investigations for Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s Office. According to the MI State Police report, Fabus asked for Michigan State Police assistance with a joint investigation of alleged voter fraud being conducted by the Muskegon Police Department and the AG.

An investigative task force was formed, and an investigation was initiated.

During their investigation, the state police discovered the women worked for GBI Strategies. This was included in their police report. The group had temporary offices in numerous Michigan locations. The police also identified Gary Bell as the head of the organization.

When the police inspected the GBI Strategies office near Muskegon they found semiautomatic guns, silencers/suppressors, burner phones, a bag of pre-paid cash cards, and incomplete registrations, in an office space that was styled as an eyeglasses store that had gone defunct.

There were never any arrests. And the investigation was turned over to the FBI where it went to die, just like all of the other Democrat voter fraud investigations. Back in November 2020 Bill Barr appointed a notorious DOJ attorney who covered up voter fraud crimes.

There has always been unanswered statistical irregularities about absentee ballots from the 2020 election. These irregularities suggest massive, systemic, voter fraud among absentee ballots. Viewing the percentage of the vote each candidate won from absentee voters precinct by precinct, one can see a very suspicious correlation between the candidates in 2020 that does not exist in 2016. This suggests there was major electronic manipulation of votes combined with the physical ballots placed to back up those fraudulent votes.

There is no argument that Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a far-left Democrat, sent out absentee ballot requests without a legal request on file to every voter. There is no argument that Benson then used illegal interpretations of the law to presume that all voter signatures were a ‘match’ between the signatures on file and the ones on the ballots, even when they didn’t match.

Using COVID as the pretext, Democrats set the stage for scores of absentee ballots that would never receive scrutiny as to whether they were valid or not.

And even if some illegal ballots were caught by challengers or honest poll workers, most challenged ballots in left-wing jurisdictions were routinely ignored. 2020 Voter Fraud witnesses repeatedly noted that the ballot challenging process was ignored and suppressed.

Michigan State Senator Ruth Johnson, who is herself a former Secretary of State, told the Gateway Pundit: “My estimate is over 800,000 ballot applications were sent to non-qualified voters in Michigan, including many individuals who moved or died, and even some individuals who were underage or non-citizens. Many were sent to people who had moved out of state.”
