Brit, 15, forced to strip for airport security after they 'didn't believe she was a girl' - "A British teen has said she was forced to strip off in front of airport officials in a "traumatic" sex check after they refused to believe she was a girl.  Caitlyn Disley, 15, had landed at Hurghada Airport in Egypt when airport security guards forced her to undergo the checks, during which she was ordered to lift her bra and prove she didn't have male genitalia. She and her partner's family have said they were unable to leave the airport terminal until she completed the invasive checks in front of a nurse... the only change in her appearance with the photo on her travel documents was that she had shorter hair...   “They didn’t have anyone but eventually got the message across that they needed to check she was female and she was taken into a room. At first I think the men themselves wanted to look at her intimately. But Liv’s mum put her foot down and they found a female nurse. I’ve no idea if she had anything to do with the airport.  “She asked Caitlyn to lift her sports bra and then the message was conveyed that they needed to ‘look down there.’ Liv’s mum said ‘not a chance’ and they compromised by Caitlyn pulling her shorts tight to show she didn’t have any male genitalia. Then they were allowed to go.”"

Brit, 15, forced to strip for Egyptian airport security after they 'didn't believe she was a girl' : r/uknews - "Every single person I interacted with in an airport in Egypt was a complete scumbag, so I'm not surprised in the slightest."
"I recall my bag was checked like four times and every single staff member I interacted with wanted a tip"
"Years ago, I had to point out to the couple in front of us at check in coming home, that their bags were not in fact overweight but that the Egyptian staff member had his foot on the scale and was just trying to get some cash out of them."
"Just the airport?"
"No actually, even in the country they were constantly trying to scam me because I'm western... mY fRiEnD GiVe mOneY... I'm never going there again. Never saw a single other westerner just Egyptians and Russians."
"My blonde girlfriend then 23 years old took her mom to a trip in Egypt and managed to only be scammed out of about £50 in two weeks which is genuinely impressive."
"Yeah, Egypt made me really uncomfortable. I'm a brown guy and there was a lot of racism. Got side-eyed a lot at the airport. And then there's everyone wanting a tip for everything. Apparently being from the west immediately makes you rich or something. I really dislike the culture."

Brit, 15, forced to strip for Egyptian airport security after they 'didn't believe she was a girl' : r/uknews - "I really loved some aspects of Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains were beautiful but the amount of times people tried to scam me made it so I’ll never go back. I understand it’s tough there but they’re just making the future harder by putting people off."
"Yeah obviously everyone knew you were referring to Morocco, don’t listen to some autistic reddit user.  Marrakesh is a hell hole, disliked 90% of my holiday there. The Atlas Mountains were alright, I’ve seen more beautiful mountains in Italy. Just the bare faced fleecing at every moment really sucked. ‘Tourists’ (but let’s be honest - white people) are seen as cash cows."

Beyond Meat goes after the 'Holy Grail' of meat alternatives — a juicy whole-cut steak

UK council announces it is banning all non-vegan food and drink from meetings : r/unitedkingdom - "You don't see a problem with a minority diet being imposed on the majority?  Because that's exactly what it is.  They could just provide meat and vegetarian options which is the most sensible option."
UK council announces it is banning all non-vegan food and drink from meetings : r/unitedkingdom - "It's not budget cutting, it's virtue signalling. We switched to non-meat sandwich platters for meetings and the cost saving is minimal. Maybe a small uptick in food waste as well.  Also, note that they are switching to non-vegan food and DRINK. So they'll be forking out for nut milks for everyone's teas and coffees."

The Food Professor on X - "Is Bill C-293 Canada's "Vegan Act"?  Bill C-293, a private member's bill, stands as one of the most unreal pieces of legislation I have witnessed in my career. If enacted, this bill would empower public health officials to shutter facilities identified as "high-risk," including meat packing plants, during a pandemic. It would also "mandate" the consumption of vegetable proteins by Canadians.  This bill sailed through Parliament with alarming ease, underscoring the prevailing dysfunction and disconnection within the body. Under normal circumstances, such a proposal would falter at the first reading. The Senate now faces the challenge of deliberating on this poorly crafted legislation, which proposes to give the government sweeping powers to dictate production and dietary choices during a pandemic.   Wow."

Plant-based meat alternatives do not offer cardiometabolic health benefits over meat, study finds - "In a clinical trial over 8 weeks, researchers found that a diet containing PBMAs – including vegan sausages, burgers and minced ‘meat’  - did not provide any greater benefits to a person’s cardiometabolic health compared to an omnivorous diet."

Plant-Based Meat Boomed. Here Comes the Bust | WIRED - "Sales boomed in the early months of the pandemic, as slaughterhouse shutdowns disrupted conventional meat supply chains and shoppers started trying out meatless burgers, sausages, and seafood instead... One big challenge in the US is the price of plant-based alternatives. In the US, plant-based meats are on average 77 percent more expensive than their animal equivalents, and for cheap meat like chicken, that premium rises to more than 150 percent. Another problem is one that has dogged the industry for years: Shoppers are still finding plant-based products lackluster compared to animal-based alternatives. “Many consumers signaled that products weren’t yet meeting their expectations on taste, texture, and affordability,” wrote the authors of the report. Although there has been a lot of excitement around meat alternatives, plant-based milk is still by far the biggest seller when it comes to plant-based foods. Dairy milk alternatives like soy, oat, and almond made up nearly 15 percent of total milk sales in the US, while the share of plant-based meat and seafood in their market is around 1 percent. Plant-based milks alone make up nearly a third of the entire plant-based food category in the US, as defined by the Good Food Institute... Rising concerns about so-called ultraprocessed food have also buffeted the plant-based meat industry, given the high amount of processing usually needed to make its products. In response, Beyond’s new burgers have less salt and saturated fat than the previous generation, as well as a “simplified ingredient list,” while many other plant-based companies are emphasizing their “clean-label” credentials."

Carrot‐Juice Addiction Cited in Briton's Death - The New York Times - "A coroner's inquest here has found that the death of a 48‐year‐old health‐food enthusiast was caused by “carrot‐juice addiction.”  The coroner's court heard evidence this week that Basil Brown, a scientist had taken 70 million units of Vitamin A in 10 days. In addition he was drinking about a gallon of carrot juice a day during that time. His skin was bright yellow when he died.  Dr. David Haler, the pathologist who performed an autopsy, said that the effect of the enormous intake of Vitamin A from carrots and tablets was indistinguishable from alcoholic poisoning. It produces the same result, he said—cirrhosis of the liver."

'Star Wars'-loving British soldier faces passport trouble after naming son Loki Skywalker Mowbray - "A “Star Wars”-loving military family’s vacation hit a snag because their son was denied a passport as officials ruled that his peculiar name was too out of this world.  British soldier Christian Mowbray’s son was born on May 4, 2017, informally known as “Star Wars” day, so he and his wife, Becky, fittingly named him after one of the most famous families in cinema history in homage to the hit film franchise.   Thus, Loki Skywalker Mowbray came to be, and for the first seven years of his life, there was no huge problem with the name... The Home Office, in charge of the nation’s immigration, security, and law and order, denied the youngster’s passport, claiming it couldn’t print “Skywalker” because of Disney’s copyright on the name.  The family had no knowledge of having this issue when they named their son.  The department told the family it either had to change their son’s name or get permission from Disney to use “Skywalker.”   “We were not aware that this could be a potential issue,” Mowbray said. “We understand that Loki’s middle name is copyrighted, but we have no intention of using it for personal gain.”  “I understand their (the Home Office’s) position and reasoning, but I believe they need to recognize that modern names are evolving,” he added.  “I can understand if an adult changes their name for a ‘stunt,’ but this is not the case for a child from birth.” Mowbray says his son was eventually issued the passport and the family’s vacation is still on. A similar situation arose for another UK family because they named their daughter after a “Game of Thrones” character.  Southwest England mother Lucy said she needed to get Warner Brothers’ permission for her 6-year-old daughter, Khaleesi, to get a passport with the trademarked name...   A Brazilian court denied a family trying to name their newborn son after an ancient king because it was ruled too similar to a dance move, which could result in bullying of the child.  Catarina and Danillo Prímola had planned to name their newborn son Piyé, in homage to the first black Egyptian pharaoh, who had ruled Egypt for 30 years and helped in founding the 25th dynasty. However, the Court of Justice in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais and registry office ruled that Piyé’s pronunciation is too similar to plié — a Portuguese word for a ballet dance step.  Even though piyé is spelled differently, the court claimed the parents would not be permitted to “register first names that could expose their bearers to ridicule.”"

Cow urine sold alongside food in London shops - "Cow urine is being sold alongside food in convenience stores in London against environmental health advice... The liquid is used by worshippers in some Hindu ceremonies - although it is illegal to sell for human consumption in England.  Known as gau mutra, it was found in several shops which also sold food. The Chartered Institute of Environmental Health warned against its sale where food was present... In one shop urine bottles were displayed under a shelf of naan bread.  One worker in a shop in Greenwich said: "Hindus come in to buy it for religious reasons, if a baby is born it may be used during a religious ceremony in the house for good luck."  A Hare Krishna temple in Watford, Bhaktivedanta Manor, has a dairy farm which also produces the urine for worshippers.  Managing director Gauri Das said the temple had been selling cow urine since the early seventies.  "There has been a demand from the South Asian background. They use it for puja's [religious ritual], medicinal purposes or even cleaning in order to purify things," he said.  "I don't sell it [the urine] for human consumption.  "It is down to the worshipper to do what they want with it." A Foods Standards Agency (FSA) spokesperson said although it is illegal to sell the urine for human consumption, when applied externally it would not be considered food - although it could be subject to other legislation."

Visegrád 24 on X - ""Chat Control", the EU law proposal that could ban encrypted messenger services in the EU will return again this month.   The bill is aimed at searching all private messages and chats for suspicious content (so-called chat control or child sexual abuse regulation).  According to the latest proposal providers would be free whether or not to use ‘artificial intelligence’ to classify unknown images and text chats as ‘suspicious’.   However they would be obliged to search all chats for known illegal content and report them, even at the cost of breaking secure end-to-end messenger encryption.   EU governments are to position themselves on the proposal by 23 September. Currently, only Poland and Germany have indicated that they will vote against it.  Estonia, Czechia, Austria, Slovenia and the Netherlands have doubts.  EU interior ministers are to endorse it on 10 October.   Messenger providers Signal and Threema have already announced that they will never agree to incorporate such surveillance routines into their apps and would rather shut down operations in the EU."

What is the curse of Béla Guttmann? The bad luck that haunts Benfica in Europe - "Hungarian coach Béla Guttmann was appointed Benfica boss in 1959. Guttmann made an immediate impact on the club and promoted Portuguese football legend Eusébio to the first-team squad.  With Guttmann in the dugout, Benfica beat Barcelona 3-2 to win the European Cup in 1961. Just a year later, in 1962, they faced Real Madrid in the final, and once more, were victorious, winning 5-3 to claim back-to-back European titles.  After leading the Lisbon club to consecutive European Cups, Guttmann requested a pay rise. The club refused his request and he allegedly placed a curse on the Portuguese team.  “Not in a hundred years from now will Benfica ever be European champion,” he said.  Guttmann left Benfica later in 1962 to join Uruguayan giants Peñarol.  Since he made the remark, Benfica have lost eight European finals in a row, their last coming in 2014, when they lost 4-2 to Spanish side Sevilla on penalties."

'It used to just work': How tech made simple everyday tasks complicated - "Do the words “download the app” make you feel weary, disheartened or even despairing? You are not alone. Apps are increasingly responsible for the day-to-day tasks and activities that define our lives, from turning on the radio to opening a bank account and our reliance on tech shows no sign of slowing down.  But while the leaps forward have been welcomed by most, particularly the young, others have struggled to get to grips with the digital era. A 2023 Age UK study found that almost half (46 per cent) of people aged 65 and over are unable to complete basic tasks online. “The internet offers a range of benefits, helping people to make savings and keep in touch with loved ones but there are 2.7 million over-65s who don’t use the internet at all, that’s one in five,” says Caroline Abrahams, the charity director of Age UK. “For people in this situation, life is getting harder and more frustrating if they are expected to use technology for basic tasks like making a doctor’s appointment or parking near the shops.” Navigating the devices in our pockets, not to mention our homes, is now a minefield of passwords and codes. The world outside offers little respite – with everything from buying a rail ticket or booking a table at a restaurant increasingly done online.  “If you’re not a digital native it is challenging to keep up unless you’re really motivated,” says Robin Christopherson, the head of digital inclusion at AbilityNet, a charity that provides support to make technology more accessible to disabled and elderly people.

Vesna Vulović - Wikipedia - "Vesna Vulović (Serbian Cyrillic: Весна Вуловић, pronounced [ʋêsna ʋûːloʋitɕ]; 3 January 1950 – 23 December 2016) was a Serbian flight attendant who survived the highest fall without a parachute: 10.16 kilometres (6.31 miles) or 33,338 feet. She was the sole survivor after an explosion tore through the baggage compartment of JAT Flight 367 on 26 January 1972, causing it to crash near Srbská Kamenice, Czechoslovakia (now part of the Czech Republic)... Vulović's physicians concluded that her history of low blood pressure caused her to pass out quickly after the cabin depressurized and kept her heart from bursting on impact.Vulović said that she was aware of her low blood pressure before applying to become a flight attendant and knew that it would result in her failing her medical examination, but she drank an excessive amount of coffee beforehand and was accepted."

Kamala Harris' VP choice Tim Walz had secret fling with daughter of top Chinese Communist official during teaching stint in China - "Jenna Wang, 59, claims the VP hopeful showered her with gifts and seduced her at his poky staff accommodation at No. 1 High School in Foshan, Guangdong Province.  The lovers could not risk holding hands or showing affection in public because Wang's dad was a high-ranking figure in the Chinese Communist Party who would disown her for fraternizing with a westerner.  But their romance blossomed behind closed doors as they sipped tea, made love and listened to George Michael hits – leading the then 24-year-old Wang to dream about marriage and a new life in the United States.  No proposal was forthcoming from the future Minnesota governor, however, and the shame of being treated 'like a prostitute' eventually left Wang feeling angry and suicidal, she claims. ''Tim was very passionate and very romantic. I can still remember dancing with him to our favorite song, Careless Whisper,' she told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.  'The fact we couldn't touch or kiss in public just made it all the more exciting and intense when we were finally alone.  'We were deeply in love and I wanted to marry him and start a family. When it didn't happen, I felt very unhappy and sad. Tim's behavior was very selfish.' Walz's time in China is already a source of controversy after he misleadingly claimed in interviews and congressional transcripts that he was in Hong Kong when the Tiananmen Square protests erupted from April to June of 1989.  It later transpired that he didn't join the staff of nonprofit WorldTeach in China until August 1989, prompting Walz, 60, to profess during the recent VP debate that he was a 'knucklehead' when recalling dates... They avoided overt shows of affection in case it got back to Wang's father Bin Hui, who was an important CCP official and chairman of a labor union in her native city of Guilin.  Walz would travel to Hong Kong and Macau on the weekends – cities that were more or less inaccessible for all but the Chinese elite – and bring back Western-style luxuries like blue jeans, Ray-Ban sunglasses and jewelry.  'He couldn't sing and when he tried to dance he found it very hard. I could tell he was in the military,' Wang said.  'But we talked for hours and hours, we stayed in bed, we had sex. He continued to buy me gifts.  'I could never stay overnight because of the social conventions. It was very repressive. Couples walked around the city like robots... During the summer Walz returned to the US but wrote letters to Wang, giving vivid depictions of his life and teaching job in Alliance, Nebraska.  At Walz's direction, Wang says she sent off a passport photo and information about herself to an address in the States, believing it was part of the process to secure her a visa.  When the future running mate of presidential hopeful Kamala Harris flew back to China in 1992, she resigned her coveted teaching role, believing she was about to embark on a new life.  Their relationship soon began to sour, however, when Walz made clumsy, romantic gestures in public, on one occasion trying to feed Wang a slice of pear as they embarked on a ten-day tour of South China.  'People were staring at us. I tried to reject it because I was very afraid. Teachers were supposed to set an example,' she said.  The couple made sure to book two hotel rooms wherever they stayed but on an overnight train journey Walz insisted that Wang sleep in his cabin. The conductor shone a flashlight on Wang in the middle of the night and started to admonish her, only to retreat when Walz, afforded more respect as a westerner, woke up... Walz responded by suggesting that Wang was more interested in a US passport than marriage.  'This was very offensive. I said to him that it is both or nothing,' she said... The next morning Wang slipped out of their hotel and took a taxi to a remote clifftop where she says she contemplated throwing herself off rather than returning to her old life in disgrace... Walz never again crossed paths with Wang, who emigrated to Europe several years later where she now works as teacher, translator and cultural mediator.  She says the pair last exchanged a handful of friendly messages over Facebook in 2009 and talked about how their lives had panned out."

KARL: “But do you think she believes that stuff?"
CUBAN: "I think she believed it for sure. But you know, I mean, look, she has to speak for herself on those things…"

Kamala Harris town hall host Maria Shriver says crowd can't ask questions because they're 'pre-determined' - "A town hall event with Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday featured a shocking revelation after one voter simply wondered whether she could ask a question... Typically, presidential campaigns allow voters at townhall meetings to ask unscripted questions, which lends a level of authenticity to the proceedings and highlights a presidential candidate's personal touch... Cheney joked that it felt like a Kennedy family dinner table, noting the number of people in the room.  'It's raucous, it's hot but it's fun, that's what it's going to be like,' Shriver laughed.    But the conversation was hardly 'jamming' or 'raucus' as Harris repeated many of her scripted lines about her love of country and Cheney revisited her frequent attacks against former President Donald Trump for allowing the riots to occur on January 6 on Capitol Hill. The revelation comes as the vice president has refused to sit for an interview with several legacy media outlets since taking over Joe Biden's campaign.    She has also faced a slew of criticism for her sparse media strategy and appearing on friendly outlets such as the podcast Call Her Daddy.   Recently the owner of Time magazine aired his grievances after claiming his publication has reached out several times for an interview with the presidential nominee."

"The Free Beacon also obtained a copy of Harris's October 1987 job application for a law clerk position in the Alameda County district attorney's office. On that form, Harris, who was in law school at the time, listed several jobs-including a month-long clerical job at a stock brokerage-in a section that asked her to list every position she held in the last 10 years. McDonald's is absent."

Bezos insists no quid pro quo in decision to pull Washington Post’s Harris endorsement as staff and subscribers quit - ""Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election,” Bezos wrote. “No undecided voters in Pennsylvania are going to say, ‘I’m going with Newspaper A’s endorsement.’ None. What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias. A perception of non-independence.”... William Lewis, the publisher and CEO of the Post, defended the decision in an editor’s note, pointing to the paper’s history of going periods without making an endorsement. “We also see it as a statement in support of our readers’ ability to make up their own minds on this, the most consequential of American decisions — whom to vote for as the next president,” Lewis wrote. The Washington stalwart isn’t the only billionaire-owned paper facing pushback over its editorial board. The Los Angeles Times also declined to endorse a candidate this election, with news reports and former staffers accusing owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong of canceling a planned Harris endorsement, while the owner claims the editorial board didn’t comply with a request to supply non-partisan evaluations of both candidates."

Socialists always tell on themselves.   The Harris-Walz campaign is desperate — desperate — for male votes, and what's their angle?   Do it for the women.   It's an admission that they have nothing, not one thing, to offer male voters, especially white male voters.   And that, knowing this, they have not altered course or changed their platform at all, but have doubled down, asking men to make yet another in a decades-long series of political self-sacrifices, allowing themselves to once again be sent to the back of the line so women can stand in front of them.   Not only that, Harris-Walz seem to be allergic to the very word "men", always addressing us as "guys", or "dudes", as if we were hanging out after 6th period of high school.   One wonders if they have addressed women voters as "gals", or "chicks", or "broads". No, of course they have not.   Well, Tim, you mincing, cowardly, hypocritical lying little maggot, I'm not a "guy". I'm not a "dude".   I'm a man.   And you don't get to speak to me casually as if you were my friend, when you have shown nothing but hatred and contempt for me and my kind.   Furthermore, my vote is not a proxy that belongs to women. It is mine.   Since the 19th amendment was ratified more than a century ago, women have their own votes. And they are certainly voting what they perceive to be their own interests.   Women in general have a lot of political power in this country, and a great deal of public voice. And they can advocate for what they perceive to be their own interests. They don't need me for that.   So, what about the women in my life, who I love? What, exactly, is it that you think is good for them?   Abortions, apparently. Lots and lots of abortions.   That's your thought process.   Because you don't know them. You don't know anything about them other than the fact they have girl parts, and, based on your evident confusion about basic questions like "what is a woman?" and "who needs feminine hygiene products?", you apparently don't even know that.   You're desperate, and it's disgusting. You have no plan, except that you want to win the election and be the ones in charge, and that's of no benefit to anyone but you.   The only living US citizens who are gonna vote for you are the ones who believe anything their television tells them."

Queer Theory Primer

On the nihilism of Queer Theory and why schools keep trying to indoctrinate children:

Okay so this is going to be this talk is going to be a bit dark and I apologize ahead of time, but often times we need to traverse the darkness to find the light and to find Grace, so, again I'm sorry we've got to get dark but that's just the state of things today.

5 minutes ago, gender identity did not exist. 5 minutes ago, schools were not socially transitioning children without their parents' knowledge or consent. 5 minutes ago, your sex was observed at birth. It was not assigned. 5 minutes ago, drag queens were not in schools reading wholly inappropriate books to children as young as three, four and five in school classrooms, lunchrooms, libraries and gymnasiums.

This one's dark. Five minutes ago, perfectly healthy 13-year-old girls were not seeking out *elective* double mastectomy procedures as part of a gender affirmative care plan that promises to make them whole, that promises to rectify their sex with their gender identity.

5 minutes ago, none of this was happening.

Really, when you think about it, none of this was happening when you were children. None of it was happening, was when I was in school. So I'm here to ask you, what the hell is going on? What's going on? Who developed these insane theories? Who put them into schools? How did they justify doing so, and what are they attempting to do with our children?

I wrote a piece a few months ago called curiosity is a cult killer, and in that piece I briefly described how I, ended up in this mess, and the long story short was, I was curious. None of this stuff existed 5 minutes ago, now it does. I was curious.

I was preparing to be a new father, I took that responsibility tremendously seriously. I saw these things happening in the school and I was wondering what the hell is going on. And I got sick of reacting. You know, they're they're socially transitioning, socially transitioning? What does that mean? What's that?

Drag queens are in schools now? What's that about?

Teachers and school psychologists are having secretive conversations with young children behind closed doors without their parental knowledge or consent, about sex, in this thing called gender identity. What's that? And sexuality and gender affirming care? That's really weird. What is that, what is going on in our schools. I was curious.

So what do you do when you're curious? You go out and you look for information, and you read. So that's what I did. I read and I read and I read. For years. And I wasn't reading the people who were critical of all of this madness happening in schools because they were all saying the same thing. They were just reacting, it's, you turn on the news or you go on Twitter or Facebook and it's the same thing every day. Wow that's crazy, they're doing that in schools now? The next day, wow that that's crazy, they're doing that in schools now?

But I wasn't getting the answers that I needed so I went directly to the place no one wants to go directly to. The academic literature.

I went and read the people that created these theories. I went and read the teachers that are currently practicing in schools and read what they were bragging about doing in academic journals to all of their colleagues. I went and read the academic literature on their own terms, and I read and read and read, until I found myself in a place that can only be described, as hell.

I ended up in hell. And then I wrote a book about what I found. Co-authored by Dr James Lindsay. 

So what did I find?

This thing called radical gender ideology or gender theory or the transgender cult, whatever you call it, the schools call it inclusion, that thing. It has a technical name. And that technical name is Queer Theory.

Queer Theory. What is that? Queer Theory is the doctrine of a religious cult. It is a religious cult doctrine that primarily targets children.

Now I have to get this part out of the way because this is a stumbling block and it can be confusing for people, but Queer Theory has essentially nothing to do with children who may happen to be gay or lesbian. It has nothing to do with children, being concerned for them and including them and making sure they're loved and they're not bullied and helping them develop normally and lead a long healthy prosperous normal life. It has nothing to do with that. Why is that? Because Queer Theory feasts on destabilization. Revolutions require instability and destabilization to work. It's a precondition of Revolution.

So when kids who happen to be gay or lesbian or adults who happen to be gay or lesbian grow up and they fit in in society and they're getting along just as any one of us is getting along, that saps that potential revolutionary energy that political energy that that person might otherwise have. That Queer Theory can take advantage of and feed. It saps a soldier from them in their Revolution. So when you read their literature they couldn't be more clear. Queer Theory is explicitly and rabidly hostile to the idea of someone who happens to be gay or lesbian fitting in and pros, and being prosperous in society and living a happy healthy normal life.

Okay. I had to get that out of the way because that's a stumbling block for a lot of people because Queer Theory hides behind gays and lesbians to push its radical agenda. When you attack Queer Theory they hold gays and lesbians in front of them and say you're attacking them. You're attacking them.

It's a wicked trick. So Queer Theory is not that. It's a religious cult. It seeks to answer fundamental questions about the nature of our reality, the nature of our world, the nature of man, what our nature is, what human nature is. It thinks it has the answer to those questions. And it also thinks it has the answers to what the purpose of our lives must be. Not what we should do with our lives, not what we could do with our lives, but what the purpose of our lives must be.

Queer Theory's central claim, our our nature, the answer it thinks it has, is that we are all Queer. All of us. All of you. You're all Queer for Queer Theory. Now what does that mean?

Queer Theory is defined in their literature by a man called named David Halperin in 1995 in a book called St Foucault: Towards a Gay Hagiography and in that book Halperin defines Queer in this way. He says, quote, and I can do this verbatim because I've had to say this a million times to show how crazy this all is and what Queer means to them.

He says quote, unlike gay identity, as I was just saying, not about being gay or lesbian, unlike gay identity, Queer identity need not be grounded in any positive truth or in any stable reality. Queer is defined by its oppositional relation to the norm. It is by definition whatever is at odds with the normal, the legitimate and the dominant. There is nothing in particular to which it necessarily refers, it is, it is an identity without an essence end quote.

What does that commie gobbledygook mean? It's not about gays and lesbians, but it's also not rooted in any positive truth. Queer Theory has nothing to do with the truth, nothing to do with objective truth. It has no positive vision for the world. It is a theory that is driven by pure critique. It is a purely negative theory. And it's not rooted in any stable reality. It is a destabilizing theory. It's rooted in instability.

So it's not rooted in positive truth, it has nothing to do with capital T, the truth, the objective truth, and it's a completely destabilizing theory. Sounds great, let's box it up and put it in schools and play with it with children, right?

So that's what Queer means and Queer's fundamental argument is you are all Queer. I bet you didn't know that when you woke up this morning, what I just described. I bet you didn't know you were that. But why? Why didn't you know that?

Queer Theory says it's because you are possessed. You are possessed by the Unholy social cultural and political soul of society. It has possessed you, you are under its possession. And under that possession you are convinced that such a thing as the truth is out there and it exists. You're convinced that there's a stable reality. You're convinced that being normal is okay, and that you should lead a legitimate life. It has brainwashed you. It's pulling the strings back here. It's deceiving you and convincing *you* to do things that are considered normal, and legitimate, and truthful, and rooted in a stable reality.

Queen Judith Butler, if any of you are familiar with her, in her latest book, uh which is the last thing I've read in Queer Theory because I spent years reading it and after Dr James Lindsay and I wrote this last book I couldn't read any more of it, I'd seen enough, in that book she calls this Unholy Spirit psychosocial phantasms. There's a technical name for that that you're probably all familiar with, it's called social constructions.

There's these social constructions floating out there. What is a man, what is a woman, what is a male, what is a female? All of it socially constructed and you're possessed by these to desire to be become those things, to identify as a male, to identify as a man. To identify as a female, to identify as a woman. This is what Queer Theory believes. You are under quite literally, you are under demonic, evil possession. It is convincing you to make decisions it wants you to make. It's not grabbing your hand and forcing it to the wardrobe and saying you're a man so you need to wear a suit today. Or forcing your hand into the wardrobe and saying you're a little girl, you need to wear this dress. It's convincing you to do those things yourself. It's like you've got a demon inside you that's possessed you.

So what do we do when we're possessed? We have an exorcism. We need to have an exorcism. We need to cast off this demon, this evil influence that's possessing us and convincing me I've got to have this haircut because I think it's normal, convincing me that I needed to wear this jacket because I'm giving this speech, convincing me of all of these things. We need to have an exorcism. We need to be initiated into the religious doctrine of Queer Theory that has all of the answers about how this is all supposed to work. We need to be initiated into the Mysteries. We need Queer Theory to say: hey, everything is made up and fake and reality is unstable and there's no truth. There's no such thing as normal. There's no such thing as legitimate so don't wear the suit you're wearing, get a wacky haircut, begin to live your life differently. 

Cause it's all made up and it's tricking you into presenting yourself as a man or presenting yourself as a woman or raising your kids in a certain way. It's tricking you into all of this. We need to possess this evil spirit doing this. There's a reason they say trans live, trans lives are sacred. There's a reason they say that they are transcending their fallen material form. They're transcending the beast they've become, that they were brainwashed to become. There is no such thing as sex or gender identity or sex. It's all made up and imposed and you're brainwashed into it they're transcending that. That's why they're considered sacred. They're closer to the Divine, which is their Queer nature.

But as any of you who are involved in any sort of activism or politics at all will know, it's not enough for just one person to get involved in this religious doctrine and get initiated and believe it themselves. You have to to believe it too.

If you're religious, it needs to convert you. If you're not religious, it needs to convert you. Because one of us isn't free in their minds until all of us are free. Because I can become trans and cast off everything and, look however I want to look and get away from my, my sex that was assigned at birth and my clothing style and everything, but if my neighbors aren't doing it, if my family's not doing it, if my community is not doing it, the project won't work. Because those people - normal people - are going to keep reproducing society, reproducing norms, reproducing legitimate institutions. They're going to keep reproducing this demon that's going to follow me around forever.

So to destroy the demon and and finally rid myself of possession, everyone has to be, in on the project. This explains precisely why these queer activists are so wicked. For any of you involved in any sort of activism you'll find this out right away. They're absolutely wicked to those that won't go along with the program. They'll get you fired from work, they'll get you canceled from speaking events. They'll target your children, of course. They're wicked because you must believe it too. 

Because they believe in the end if they can abolish the idea that anything is considered normal, if they can abolish the idea that there's a truth out there that we can all access, they can abolish the idea that any of your faith means anything at all. If they can abolish everything then they can all be who they really are on the inside. Which is queer. It's whatever they feel they are. Whatever they want to do, there will be no longer be someone to categorize them and define them and box them into a life and convince them to imprison themselves in their body, imprison themselves in a life that is a false fake life.

So everyone's got to go along with this project and join this exorcism process which turns out to be radical activism and going out and queering everything. Which is applying Queer Theory to everything and convincing everyone that there's no such thing as the truth, there's no such thing as normal. Why is everything so abnormal nowadays? Well activists for the last 30 years have been rampaging through our institutions convincing everyone that nothing is normal or legitimate. That's why we are where we are. That's why just a couple of weeks ago we found out, that someone was publishing papers in our Defense Department about queering, nuclear warheads, and weapons.

This problem runs really deep. Really really deep. Okay. That's the bright stuff. Let's get into some of the dark stuff.

Really quickly, I've got to talk about the people who created this I'm going to do it really fast. If you're interested in learning more about the history of its development please pick up a copy of our book. We talk about its development a lot in there. 

But there's really three key people you need to be aware of, aside from Karl Marx, uh, which I just don't have time to get into that today. But the first one is Simone de Beauvoir. Simone de Beauvoir the French Marxist feminist who wrote in 1949 a book called The Second Sex. And in that book Beauvoir's most famous line that has inspired feminists everywhere to this day and also a lot of Queer Theory, there's a direct line there, is: one is not born but becomes woman.

Why is that important? Because Beauvoir said sex is real, there's males and there's females and sex, what she says circumscribes you in the pecul-, peculiarities of your nature, meaning if you're born with certain genitalia, people treat you a certain way. But she said sex is real but there's this other thing floating around. And it's called gender. And it's a social construct. The idea of a woman doesn't exist. You can't be a woman. You become a woman. Society creates a box and puts all of the things that it wants women to be in that box, and that unholy spirit that social construction that psychosocial phantasm, then possesses little girls. You're born a female, you need to become a woman and you're punished if you don't follow that path. And and follow that demon, to Womanhood. So Beauvoir's contribution is sex is real but there's this thing called gender and it's a social construct.

Then we get to Michel Foucault, the French communist who escaped allegations of pedophilia only in death. You want some interesting history lessons search Michel Foucault and Tanzania in your browser. Good luck with that. But Foucault did exactly what Beauvoir did but with sexuality. Foucault says: sex, maybe, some aspects, maybe some of them are not, the the jury's out on that one, but gender is a social construct and sexuality is a social construct too. There is no such thing for Foucault as a person who can be homosexual, or a person who can be heterosexual as part of their intrinsic nature. Those are social constructions that were created. So heterosexuals create the idea of "the homosexual" so they can simultaneously erect an idea of "the heterosexual" and possess everyone in society to go on that route and go in that direction and become heterosexuals. Just like Beauvoir. You can't be a woman, you become a woman. You can't be a homosexual, you become a homosexual.

So now we've got gender is a social construct, sexuality is a social construct: they're all fake. Then we get to a name everyone's familiar with: Queen Judith Butler. And Judy has a wild one. Judy says sex, fake, social construct. Gender, fake, social construct. Sexuality, fake, it's all made up. It's all made up to possess you and convince you to imprison yourself in a life, to imprison yourself in a body that alienates you from who you really are in the inside. She convinces everyone that it is all made up, she says it's all an act, it's an act of theater, it's a performance. It's her theory of gender performativity. It's that our actions reflect back on society and they're coded as certain genders. It's a bunch of complex gobbledygook, but what she's saying is it's all made up. There's no such thing as these things. You're just possessed. People in power who want to be, have defined heterosexuality a certain way and males and females and man and woman, they define those things to control you and and convince you to imprison yourself in a life that is not really yours. You're not who you really are on the inside.

So those are the creators of Queer Theory as fast as, as fast as I can do it. The three big names. Then we get to how did it get into to schools? 10 minutes okay. Going to hurry. How did it get into schools?

The long story short is it rode in on the back of the critical turn in education. There's a great book out there called the Critical Turn in Education where a Marxist educational scholar, so it's a, it's a Marxist, a practicing Marxist in education describing how the Marxists took over all of the education schools. Queer Theory came in on the back of that, because by 1992, the education schools nationwide, all across North America actually, Canada too, had been completely captured by Marxists.

Queer Theory got its name in 1991 by a woman named Teresa De Lauretis in a conference in California. 1990 or 1991. And by 1993, just two years later or three years later, the first educators are going wow this looks like a great toy, this Queer Theory thing. How do we put that into schools? How do we practice that with children? That looks right. That answers all of the questions we want to answer. They're in the cult. They follow the religious doctrine. Their names are Mary Bryson and Suzanne de Castell, they're out of Canada and they write a paper calling called Queer Pedagogy: Praxis Makes Im/Perfect.

Praxis is a Marxist buzz word, it means theory and practice. It's, it's a dead giveaway. But in that paper they say they want to make Queer Theory explicitly activist in nature. They want to do Queer Theory activism in schools. And then they say they're developing a queer pedagogy. Pedagogy is just a fancy word for teaching. How you teach things. And what you teach for content, how you do it. It's your methods for teaching.

They're going to make a queer pedagogy and they define it this way: queer pedagogy is a form of educative praxis. Again, Marxist buzzword. What it means is, the Mar-, Marxist education and educative praxis designed deliberately to interfere with and interfene in the production of normaly in school subjects. More commie gobbledygook. What does it mean? It means deliberately intervening in schools to make sure kids turn out abnormal. To make sure they turn out weird, deviant, depressed, anxious. That's what that means. They're doing this in 1993. That's over 30 years ago. It's in education. You can read their papers where they brag about it. The great thing about the academy is they're all trying to climb the ladder and they publish everything they do so you just have to read what they're telling you.

Within 6 years there is so much Queer Theory in schools that queer activist James T Sears has published Queering Elementary Education. It's an edited volume of teachers and activists in schools, writing about how they're practicing Queer Theory with children. It's an edited volume, dozens of teachers theorizing how to do it better, talking about their successes, talking how to, about how to expand it. This project's been going on for a very long time. 

There's a lot more to this story but the big, the big change was in 2011 with the Obama Administration. And in 2011 the Obama Administration put out a Dear Colleague letter where they introduced I think for the first time the term gender identity. And they introduced it in a Dear Colleague letter about sexual violence in schools. And discrimination based on sex. And it was there that gender identity was tied to *sexual* discrimination for the first time in the Department of Education.

So if you discriminate against someone on the basis of their gender identity, you're discriminating them, against them on the basis of their sex in the eyes of the law. It's a civil rights violation. So schools see this and they panic. What's this thing called gender identity? What are we supposed to do with this? What policies do we need to develop? The Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights is going to come in here and sue us and take our federal funding if we don't do something with this. 

And who do they turn to to figure out what they're supposed to do? The very activists who create these terms. The very people practicing Queer Theory. They get the words in there and then the schools have to turn right back around and go: what's this and how do we do it? So the activists immediately have a hand on the steering wheel and get to determine how all of this is done. By 2014 things really take off and this is running rough shod through education. There are thousands of papers. thousands of papers with teachers practicing this with kids. Dozens and dozens and dozens of books. Every day there's some new person graduating uh with a nice new fancy degree in education that's writing about how they're going to do Queer Theory in schools. That's how it gets into schools, the 30,000 foot view.

What's it doing with children? I want to describe before I talk about that, I want to describe trauma bonding. B, Ben brought it up earlier. Trauma bonding is a cycle of abuse that tethers an abuser to their victim. It's a technique abusers use to isolate and destabilize their victim so they can control them. It's an abusive cycle, it comes in two waves. There's two parts to the cycle and the negative side of the cycle, they demean, and traumatize, and psychologically abuse their victim. And then on the positive side of the cycle, they validate them. They affirm them. They love bomb them. And abusers repeat this process over and over and over and over and over again. Until their victim is completely isolated from their friends and their family, their social circles that see what the abuser is doing and try and warn them. They're completely destabilized. They're so destabilized that they rely on their abusers' eyes and ears to make sense of the world for them. They rely on their abuser to find their purpose. Their meaning. They rely on their abuser to validate them. They're in their abusers' complete control because they just want the trauma to stop. They don't know what's coming next: love or trauma, love or trauma, love or trauma. They just want the trauma to stop and they realize if they just do what their abuser says, they get more of the affirmation and validation and sense of purpose. And love bombing. 

Now I read a paper that was published in 2002 by a queer activist educator named Kevin Kumashiro. Kevin Kumashiro is not a fringe figure in North American Education. He's the former dean of the education school at the University of San Francisco, he's the current dean of the education school at Hofstra University, he's worked for the NEA for multiple years, he's won dozens of awards. Everything points to him being an excellent, awesome, massive name in education. And in 2002, he wrote a paper called Against Repetition where he described how Queer Theory is practiced on kids, how how you get them involved in Queer Theory. How you stop them from wanting to be normal and wanting to live a legitimate life because again those things are oppressive. How do you break them from that cycle? Because if you don't break them, they're going to have kids and then they're going to raise their kids a certain way that's normal and legitimate, and then they're going to raise their kids, and it's, that wheel's going to keep reproducing itself. So how do you break it?

Kevin Kumashiro says: educators - this is a direct quote, verbatim - educators have a responsibility to draw students into crisis. Educators have a responsibility to draw students into crisis, so that they can manage that crisis productively. That's what Kumashiro is saying in 2002. Does that sound like something we just discussed? That's trauma bonding. He says children need to learn that they're racist. They need to learn that they're sexist, or transphobic. They need to learn they may be have been born in the wrong, wrong body. They need to learn that they were assigned a sex at birth. They need to learn that their gender was chosen for them and they were pushed into it by their parents. They need to be traumatized out of all of that. The demon's got a hold of them. We got to cast the demon off so they can be who they really are in the inside, which is whatever they say they want to be. 

So we need to traumatize them out of it. We need to break them out of it, and then we can manage it productively. We can affirm them. Hear that in our schools today? Affirm affirm affirm affirm affirm. We need to validate them. We need to love bomb them. You're a racist, you're a transphobe. Maybe you were born in the wrong body Timmy. Baybe you should be wearing other clothes. Maybe you should be doing these things. 

Timmy's completely traumatized. He's completely in crisis. He just wants it to stop. He's so confused. What do you mean I'm born in the wrong body? What does that mean? I look like a boy, how can I be a girl? It's completely destabilizing. And then Timmy learns that he can adopt a new gender identity and new pronouns and when he does so people like Kevin Kumashiro are there to love bomb him and to validate it and affirm it. And you keep doing that over and over and over until you have completely initiated, initiated a child into the religious cult that is Queer Theory. That's how it works, that's what they admit in their own literature. You can read it. If you read our book you'll see that we expose a lot of these educators, we take their words, we've got 200 something citations. I think two of them are from sources that are not educators who support this, from sources that are not people supporting this. 

It's absolutely everywhere, it's a wicked practice. It's child abuse. They are trauma bonding to your children. It's something that must stop. I have to end on a positive note and on a positive note. I'm sorry for the darkness. The great thing, like the previous speakers were saying, is we can find the light. You have to understand a situation before you understand a strategy. You can use to break it, to defeat it.

5 years ago essentially no one knew what things like Queer Theory and Critical Race Theory were. Postcolonial Theory. We didn't know much about anything, we just knew that is not normal. What is happening in the schools and now today there are thousands and thousands of people just like yourselves who are working across the country to get a better understanding of what we're dealing with so that we can fight back. And we're connecting and we're creating resources and we're helping one another and the great thing is we have the truth on our side.

Queer Theory is not rooted in any positive truth. It can't by definition ever win. It has to lose it's just when is it going to lose? And the faster we can equip ourselves with the knowledge we need to defeat it the faster we can rip it out of schools kicking and screaming because it's incredibly abusive to our children. It's tearing families apart and we need to put an end to it.

Thank you

Of the 7 million migrants that ICE released while their cases are being processed, 663,000 have criminal histories, 13,000 were convicted of homicide, 16,000 of sexual assault, and 1,845 face homicide charges. 😬"

Why the Biden Administration Is Shifting on Immigration - The New York Times - "For much of the Biden administration’s first three years in office, migration surged at the Mexican border. Administration officials frequently argued that the problem was beyond their control — a reflection not of U.S. policy but of global forces pushing people toward the border.  Then, starting in December, when the issue threatened President Biden’s re-election, he began a crackdown. The traffic of people crossing the border plummeted. Today, it remains near the lowest point since 2020 and not so different from levels during parts of the Trump and Obama administrations. This week, the Biden administration imposed tough new rules to keep it that way... Before, when migrants got to the border, U.S. officials asked if they feared returning home. Government officials believed many were saying yes regardless of whether it was true — and also that smugglers were coaching them how to answer. Now, to qualify for asylum, a migrant had to volunteer his or her worries unprompted. Officials say many fewer did so... In the first few years of the administration, detention centers were often overwhelmed, so officials released people with notices to appear in immigration court years down the line. Policymakers think that word of these strains spread into Latin America and induced more people to come illegally... Democrats have traveled a long arc in the last four years. When Biden took office, he spoke warmly of migrants seeking asylum and even tried to pause deportations altogether. (A court said no.) As his political fortunes sank, he turned toward deterring migrants. Finally, in June, he took a hard line. Now Kamala Harris says she would make sure Biden’s order is kept in place."

Bill Melugin on X - "NEW: Per newly released CBP data, nearly 530,000 migrants have flown into the US & have been paroled into the country as part of the Biden administration’s controversial CHNV mass parole program. Additionally,  approx 813,000 migrants have scheduled appointments via the CBP One app at ports of entry to be released into the US.  These are “lawful pathways” created by the Biden administration, and these numbers do not count in Border Patrol data, as they are not illegal crossings.   Most of the migrants taking part in these programs are paroled into the U.S. on two year humanitarian parole grants, which also allow them to apply to work.   Every single ICE source/contact I’ve spoken with has told me the same thing - they do not have the manpower or resources to find and deport such a large population of people if they overstay these 2 year grants.   As it stands now, ICE’s non-detained docket is on track to hit 8 million by the end of the year, and each ICE officer currently manages an average of 7,000 cases. The agency is already tasked with tracking down and removing those with final orders of removal, aggravated felons, gotaways, etc. They physically do not have the bodies to track and remove this additional population - and there has been no government agency monitoring parole expiration, according to a recent DHS Inspector General report.   The bottom line - the more than 1 million migrants the Biden admin has allowed into the U.S. via these programs are here to stay - even if they fall out of status and become unlawfully in the U.S.   New CBP data: https://cbp.gov/newsroom/natio"

Anger in France as murder suspect revealed to be convicted rapist under deportation order - "The body of 19-year-old french girl Philippine Le Noir de Carlan was found half buried in Bois de Boulogne park, Paris on the 21st of September.   It was reported that autopsy results showed that she had died of asphyxiation.     A 22-year-old man originally from Morocco – who was previously convicted of rape in 2019 when he was a minor – was arrested in connection with her death after being located in Switzerland where he had feld to.   The suspect, named as Taha O., was an illegal immigrant who until three weeks before Philippine’s murder had been placed in a detention centre in preparation for deportation, however he was released by a judge... Philippine’s body was found by her family who had used a tracker on her phone to search for her. She was studying economics and financial management at Paris Dauphine University.  She was supposed to go to her parents home after having lunch in the area of where she was found but never turned up... The woman who was raped by the suspect in 2019 has come forward to express her shock that the man who served five years for his assault on her became the suspect in a murder which took place just three weeks after his release from the detention centre... Taha O was released from the detention centre on the 3rd of September after being informed  that Morocco had not responded to French authorities’  requests to authorise his entry into his homeland.   Three days after that date Morocco gave authorisation to send Taha who had by then disappeared.  The Times reported that the woman who was raped by Taha in 2019 said, “Philippine could have been my sister.”  “I would like the launch of a parliamentary inquiry into the prevention of repeat offending in cases of sexual and sexist crimes.” She wrote: “I did everything possible so that what happened to me would not happen again. I filed a lawsuit so that the rape I suffered would be … recognised, so that my attacker would be found guilty and so that I would recognised as a victim. I held firm during a two-year investigation and trial, telling myself that this initiative would help to protect other women.”  The woman said that despite what Taha had done to her, “immediately after being freed, he appears to have offended again and committed an irreparable act. If that is the case, why? Why did the prison service fail to stop this repeat offence? Why didn’t they stop this spiral of violence that led to the murder of a young woman?”"

French Outrage at Tipping Point After Student’s Rape and Murder - "The police officer who had to deal with the first rape, which earned Taha O. a seven-year prison sentence in 2019, spoke to the press. According to him, at the time, the young woman, who was attacked while walking in the woods, owed her survival only to her extraordinary ability to talk to and deceive her adversary with unusual composure: she pretended to be ready to start seeing the man who had just attacked her. For the police officer, there was no doubt that Taha was ready to kill the young woman, who was lucky enough to escape thanks to this trick.  At the beginning of September, the man was questioned by the French justice system for the fourth and final time, while being held in a detention centre. “I don’t understand why I’m still in the centre. I want to leave France,” he said at the time...  Pierre-Marie Sève, Director of the Institute for Justice, points out that this was not simply a case of an individual decision, but that everything in current French law is designed to “knowingly organise impunity” and encourage the release of offenders. Hence the abnormally high rate of repeat offences, as pointed out by analyst Marc Vanguard, a specialist in security and immigration statistics...   Another controversial issue is the conditions under which a migrant slated for deportation is returned to his country of origin. In this instance, an administrative error caused the case to drag on, delaying the Moroccan authorities’ response. But all too often, OQTFs are not enforced because of the negligence of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is incapable of gaining the respect of the offenders’ countries of origin to obtain the consular passes required for their deportation... For Philippine’s fellow students, the tragedy has been a wake-up call for those who still thought that insecurity was a distant issue that didn’t concern them: “We realise that it’s real,” said a student her age, also at Paris-Dauphine University.  Within the political class, anger and indignation are on the rise at a pivotal moment in the political news, since a new Minister of the Interior and a new Minister of Justice are now in power. They can show the public what they are capable of, but we will surely have to wait a long time for results. The Interior Minister is on the Right, the Justice Minister on the Left, and they will be irreconcilable when it comes to taking decisive action.   For Jordan Bardella, President of the Rassemblement National (RN), “Our justice system is lax, our state is dysfunctional, and our leaders are letting the French live alongside human bombs. It’s time for this government to act: our compatriots are angry and will not mince words.” This observation is shared by the Left. For former French President François Hollande, deportations should be carried out more “quickly.” Only the far Left stood out, being more indignant about the supposed ‘racism’ of those who had a grudge against the Moroccan suspect than about the fate of the victim."

Revealed: First migrant crime table - "One in 50 Albanians in the UK is in jail, according to analysis revealing the first league table of criminality by nationality.  More than 1,200 Albanians have been sent to prison from a migrant population of nearly 53,000 Albanians living in the UK who do not have UK citizenship...  Albanians are followed by Kosovans, Vietnamese, Algerians, Jamaicans, Eritreans, Iraqis and Somalis.  The analysis suggests that the overall imprisonment rate of foreign nationals is 27 per cent higher than for British citizens. It shows 18.2 inmates per 10,000 migrants compared with the UK’s 14 per 10,000. German, Italian, Indian, Greek, US, Sri Lankan, French and Chinese nationals are the least likely to be jailed. It is the first time such an analysis has been carried out amid claims that there has been an “institutional cover-up” over the publication of migrant crime rates... While data on nationalities among the prison population reveals the scale of serious crimes committed by non-UK nationals, information about offences committed by migrants for which they are not jailed is not published... Mr O’Brien said it was a “fascinating” analysis by The Telegraph which revealed “enormous variations” between nationalities.   “It is shameful that the Government refuses to publish so much of the information which it holds about this subject. It should be available to the public so we can have an informed debate,” he said.  “The Home Office knows the immigration status of prisoners and whether they were here legally or illegally, but it does not publish this. It knows about the offending history of overseas nationals in our prisons and whether they are committing multiple offences but it does not publish this.  “Across the board, the migration debate is hampered by a lack of data which the Government could easily publish but chooses not to on things like the impact on public services and spending. The data the Government is refusing to disclose on criminal justice is a particularly bad example of this.” Mr Jenrick said: “This analysis confirms what the public will have sensed for a long time: some nationalities are more likely to go on to commit serious crimes than others. It once again points to the need for a far more tightly controlled immigration system, including more rigorous security checks for nationalities linked to criminality in the UK.”"
