Huge: The Federal Trade Commission Sues the Main Transgenderism-for-Children Organization, WPATH, Citing False Claims About Transgender Surgery Reducing Suicide Risks
—Disinformation Expert Ace
WPATH is largely funded by J.B. Pritzker's transgender brother, Lt. Colonel "Jennifer" Pritzker, retired.

@BillboardChris🚨 Massive news with worldwide repercussions!
The FTC, along with Alaska, Iowa, Nebraska, and Texas, have filed a lawsuit against the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), alleging the organization has provided the means for medical providers to make false and unsubstantiated claims to parents in order to sell pediatric medical transition services.
WPATH, an association of clinicians who profit from pediatric medical transition services, recommended medical interventions, including drugs and surgery, for children and adolescents who expressed dissatisfaction with or distress about their sex traits. In their complaint, the FTC and its state partners allege that these recommendations misled parents and children about the medical consensus and medical necessity, as well as the safety and effectiveness, of such services, in violation of the FTC Act.
"Today, the FTC filed a lawsuit against WPATH alleging that the organization made false and unsubstantiated claims regarding the necessity, effectiveness and safety of puberty blockers, hormones and sex-change surgeries," said Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson.
"Children, but especially their parents, must have complete and truthful information when making decisions to purchase medical services. For decades, the FTC has taken action against entities that make deceptive and unsubstantiated health-related claims. The complaint filed today reflects that same long-standing mandate: when an entity makes a claim about a medical treatment, the claim must be truthful, evidence-based and not misleading."
In 2022, WPATH omitted all mention of age limitations for breast amputation or penis removal from the "Standards of Care" document providing the organization's official recommendations for treating sex-trait-related dissatisfaction or distress in children.
As alleged in the complaint, WPATH did not base this decision on medical evidence.
As described in the complaint, in several instances, parents seeking help for their children were asked by clinicians whether they "would rather have a live daughter or a dead son," based on WPATH representations that pediatric medical transition services are "lifesaving." As the complaint argues, there is no competent and reliable scientific evidence to suggest these interventions reduce the risk of suicide.WPATH claims its recommendations represent "consensus-based expert opinion." This leads WPATH members and other clinicians to repeat to consumers false, misleading or unsubstantiated statements about safety and efficacy found in WPATH guidelines, according to the complaint.
According to the complaint, despite the absence of competent and reliable scientific evidence, WPATH's guidelines label nearly every pediatric transition service as "medically necessary" to maximize the likelihood that insurers will pay for the pediatric transition procedures.
Election Official Stops Democrat Dirty Trick: Democrats Tried to Split the Republican Vote for Dan Sullivan in Alaska By Running Another Man Named Dan Sullivan
—Disinformation Expert Ace
There is an interesting controversy in Alaska where an election official just disqualified a candidate over his name. Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) is in what is considered a close race with Democratic former Rep. Mary Peltola. The seat is viewed as critical to the Democrats' retaking power.The race was thrown into disarray when a retired teacher named Dan Sullivan, who had no connection to the GOP but did have connections to Democratic operatives, got on the ballot. The alleged dirty trick by Democratic and Peltola supporters would have split Sullivan's vote through sheer confusion. Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher disqualified Dan J. Sullivan, putting an end to it this week.
The suspected dirty trick comes at a time when Democratic candidates and pundits are calling for winning back power "by any means necessary."
Democrats should really consider what happens when we take a similar "by any means necessary" posture.
Because it's coming.
It could create an interesting appeal if teacher Sullivan claims that this is just a colossal coincidence or that he has a right to be a vehicle for electoral confusion.
...
Beecher noted several indicators that teacher Sullivan and the Democrats were engaged in a dishonest campaign of confusion. She noted that he voted under the name Daniel J. Sullivan, Jr., but requested to appear on the ballot as Dan Sullivan--making him identical to the incumbent. He even tried to register using the initial "S" once, which would have matched the senator.
She also noted that Dan J. Sullivan had not registered as a Republican before launching his Senate campaign and that he created a new website that used a "color scheme and overall theme" similar to the incumbent's campaign materials.
She also noted his connection to Amber Lee, an Alaska Democratic consultant and past supporter of Peltola.
Of course it's a teacher.
When we go low, they go high.
Always remember that.
Stop making them go so high, low-goers!!!!
"PRIDE" Goeth for Its Long-Awaited Fall
—Disinformation Expert Ace
"Ally" corporations have abandoned pRiDe and gay supremacists are very upset.
We knew corporations would abandon Pride. It still hurts.The brands that are backing away from Pride Month are doing exactly what we knew they would do all along -- support LGBTQ+ people only as long as it was profitable.
At the start of June, I stopped by Target while running errands in the SoHo neighborhood of New York. The store had just set out its summer merchandise, displaying an array of clothes, accessories and sunscreens nestled within a series of red arches.
As I hurried past tank tops and patterned shorts toward the pet section, I stopped to look at the Pride collection.
There wasn't much -- a single display of generic rainbow-colored shirts and home goods rested toward the back of the store, with no signs declaring June to be LGBTQ+ Pride Month.
I realized at that moment that in spite of the fact that I live in New York City, and in spite of the fact that I am part of the LGBTQ+ community, I hadn't seen many corporate advertisements related to this year's celebration. I think I know why.
Companies are done using Pride Month for profits
It seems that the era of rainbow capitalism that has endured since Obergefell v. Hodges made same-sex marriage the law of the land in 2015 is no longer a guaranteed moneymaker for brands, leading them to downsize their efforts or abandon them altogether.
As conservatism rears its head across the country and corporations ditch diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, there is suddenly no incentive to support the LGBTQ+ community.
I hate to say it, but we told you this would happen.
Rainbow capitalism, the process of brands and corporations profiting off of the LGBTQ+ community, was never going to save us. There is no world where a JPMorgan Chase & Co. sponsorship at New York City's annual Pride March was going to solve homophobia in the United States. There was never a time when a cheaply made T-shirt was going to lead to equity.
The brands that are backing away from Pride Month are doing exactly what we knew they would do all along -- support LGBTQ+ people only as long as it was profitable. Now that there is less support, the community is reminded of why Pride began in the first place.
To endlessly hector and humiliate normies who just want to be left in peace without your constant shrieking, hysteria, and narcissistic insistence on "centering" yourself in all things?
From a marketing perspective, it makes sense that Pride Month is no longer the big event it once was several years ago. Support for same-sex marriage has declined, according to a recent Gallup poll. Fewer people believe that same-sex partnerships are "morally acceptable." Support for transgender rights has gone down.
You kept making more and more extravagant demands, testing people's inclination to be "nice" to avoid confrontation, until those demands became so oppressive they stopped being "nice."
This is entirely on you. Or, it's entirely on the gay grifter activist class, who can only justify their phony-baloney jobs by making greater and greater claims on the public's sympathies and attention so they can show they're "getting results" for their $300,000 per year jobs.
Until the public gets sick of the endless extortion campaign and starts saying "No."
This is the direct result of orchestrated attacks by Republicans on LGBTQ+ rights, particularly trans rights, during Trump's second ascent to the presidency.
No, Trump's second ascent to the presidency is because of your ever-escalating demands on the public.
Thank you for that, by the way. We couldn't have done it without you. Unlike the left, we don't have to create monsters to scare the public with -- they actually exist, and won't shut the fuck up in harassing the public.
Trans people no longer have access to accurate gender markers on their passports. Trans children have lost access to gender-affirming care. Trans women were barred from competing on sports teams that align with their gender.
Do you even hear yourself?
According to the Gallup poll, Republicans are the ones whose support for same-sex marriage and trans rights has waned in recent years. For some reason, they are the ones dictating culture in the United States, leading to fewer Pride collections in stores and decreasing corporate support at festivals.
Absolultely. We thought we could appease you but you demonstrated again and again that you were unappeasable and each fresh concession we granted you just encouraged further aggression. You know, like a communist dictator or Islamic conqueror.
The Gay Lobby assured us, over and over, that "gay marriage will have no effect on your life at all." When objectors said "gay marriage will lead to demands for 'trans acceptance' next, you called those people liars and said that will never, ever happen.
Well, you fucking lied. You lied and lied and lied until you got what you wanted, then you began making the exact kind of demands that people said you'd make when you got what you said you wanted.
And you're surprised people are fed up with your bullshit?
Even if it's unsurprising that corporations are backing away from rainbow capitalism, and even though many within the LGBTQ+ community feel at odds with the commercialization of a celebration that started as a protest, it stings to see Pride transform in this way.
Oh no, they "commercialized" Pride Month. Is nothing sacred?
Christmas, sure, but PRIDE MONTH?!?!!
Check out the massive civil rights violations that gay people in "rural and suburban communities" now face:
... For LGBTQ+ people in rural and suburban communities, stores like Target are some of the only options for buying Pride apparel. In reducing their support for Pride Month and the LGBTQ+ community, these stores are reducing access for people who want to celebrate who they are.
Do you have access to... Amazon.com, praychance?
This is the flipside of the evermore-intrusive demands the gay mafia makes -- the violations they claim to suffer go in the opposite direction, getting tinier and tinier until they are so small their existence, due to Heisenberg Uncertainty, can't even be said to be real.
Meanwhile, they continue actually oppressing everyone who doesn't feel like wearing their gay identifiers:

OUTRAGE: The MLB is getting absolutely BLASTED online as BOYCOTTS continue to mount after the league "warned" San Francisco Giants players for their "violation" of writing Bible verses on their caps during pride night caps."The writing on the cap violates our rules and consistent with normal practice we have warned the players about future violations," MLB Chief Communications Officer Pat Courtney said in a statement Monday.
The MLB attempted to BACKTRACK in a new statement on Tuesday writing: "To be clear, this routine verbal warning not to wear the hat in future games is not disciplinary and had absolutely nothing to do with the content of the message. We respect players' right to free expression."
"However, writing of any kind, with any message, is prohibited per Major League Baseball's Uniform Regulations which provides in part that, '[a] Player may not write, attach, affix, embroider or otherwise display nicknames or messages on apparel or playing equipment.'"
"We have given the same warning numerous times in the past to players for messages such as 'Dad', 'Happy Mother's Day, I Love Mom' and names of family members."
Uh-huh.
Except you're here compelling people to speak a message they disagree with.

Soros DA Larry Krasner of Philadelphia Is Brutally Taken Down by (Democrat) Pennsylvania Supreme Court, Which Accuses Him of Bad-Faith and Lying In Order to Set Convicted Murderers Free with No Legal Justification
—Disinformation Expert Ace
You've heard of sue-and-settle. That's the unethical and possibly illegal practice of Democrat bureaucrats (and it is almost always Democrats) conceding lawsuits to friendly, politically-aligned litigants. These concessions result in Democrat policy preferences being encoded into law not by regular democratic processes, but by a "consent degree" agreed to by the executive that has the force of law itself.
So if you can't get 50,000 acres of land blocked from development through a law, just get your environmental buddies to sue your department claiming the snail darter is endangered, and then do no oppositional research to verify that. Just agree that yes, the snail darter is endangered and its very very sad, then propose a settlement by which the 50,000 acres you wanted to put off-limits for development but could not get legislatures to agree to are now off-limits for devolopment per the terms of a consent decree you sign with the "hostile" litigants you actually conspired with to bring about this outcome.
It's an inside-outside game, except that both parties are actually insiders, conspiring with each other to defraud the public.
Such as Larry Krasner, the pro-crime, pro-murder Soros-funded DA for Philadelphia.
For years, he has been setting murderers free or granting them new trials -- which they'll probably win, because witnesses die and evidence is destroyed over the course of 10-20 years -- by claiming that the defense lawyers he's conspiring with brought forward new evidence sufficient to overturn past jury verdicts.
This is the kind of scheme that is almost never punished. How would you prove it? And who would be the party to complain? If you try to sue Kramer himself, a leftwing judge will probably just say you lack "standing" to sue him.
Well, amazingly, the Democrat-majority Pennsylvania Supreme Court just called him out and didn't use polite or evasive language to explain why they refusing his latest "concession" to a defense lawyer to let a murderer out of jail. They say, pretty much straight-up, "You're lying, there is no evidence sufficient to compel this, these are bad-faith 'concessions' you're making to your political allies, and you're setting murderers free not because the evidence warrants it but because you have a personal, political interest in setting murderers free."
Not only do they set aside his lawless decision to free a murderer, but they go a big step further and say because you are a bad-faith actor without credibility, all future decisions "conceding" a point to defense lawyers about a prior jury verdict will first have to be approved by the state Attorney General. They're taking his License to Free Murderers away from him.
Next Philly Mayor
@nextphlmayorWild stuff. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner in hot water and now needs the PA AG's office to review all attempts to overturn a murder conviction.
"In a forceful and scolding opinion, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that District Attorney Larry Krasner's office misled the courts, "violated its duty of candor," and submitted false statements when asking a judge to vacate a 2004 murder conviction.
Justice Kevin Dougherty wrote that prosecutors' pattern of misleading judges in seeking to overturn murder convictions is so troubling and recurrent that, going forward, before Krasner's office seeks such relief, judges must notify the state attorney general's office and allow it to review the case."
DA Krasner's Office was playing fast and loose when it came to trying to overturn murder convictions... and then not doing anything after overturning them.
Time and again it has come out that his DAOs lied to the court, hid evidence, or didn't communicate with the families of the victims.
This isn't political. The PA Supreme Court is 5-2 Democrat. This is about due process and justice.
Crazy that it has been able to go on for this long without somebody stepping in...
There has been 115 cases...
"The attorney general's office had filed an amicus brief in support of the families, arguing that, since 2018, Krasner's office had conceded relief to the defendants in 115 cases in which there was no "adversarial testing" of the case.
Attorney General David Sunday, a Republican, said in a statement Tuesday that his office is grateful to serve "as a check on this process for the citizens of Philadelphia and ensure that the interests of victims' families are represented."
When an investigation reveals that a defendant was wrongfully convicted, his office said, prosecutors have a duty to remedy the situation -- through the established court processes.
"As the Court noted," his office said, "this case is about the failure of the process in Philadelphia, both as to this defendant and many others.""
The opinion explains that while the Post-Conviction Relief Act (PCRA court) is the actual body that sets murderers free, they have, until now, taken the DA's "concessions" that prior verdicts must be overturned as nigh-dispositive. Krasner would just concede case after case to his political allies seeking to free murderers.
Now they say that Krasner will not be allowed to make these "concessions" on his own authority -- he'll have to submit them to the state AG for review and approval.
They straight-up say that Krasner is ignoring the law in favor of his own personal lunatic need to set murderers free:
"When relief is not dictated by the record and law but merely advocated for personal, political, ideological, policy, or other non-legal reasons, a prosecutor's concession does not minister justice; it facilitates injustic."
In an extraordinary ruling from Pennsylvania's Supreme Court, if the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office wants to overturn a conviction in state court, the state Attorney General's Office must be given the chance to review the case and make sure a proper investigation was done.The order comes as a King's Bench petition, which is basically a mechanism for the high court to take over a case and review it. The case at hand involved Lavar Brown, a man convicted of killing two men in the early 2000s and sentenced to death row.
In their opinion, the five Democratic and two Republican justices said District Attorney Larry Krasner has "numerous instances of untrustworthy concessions, lack of candor, misrepresentations of fact, lack of adequate investigation, and avoidance of hearings" and is "unreliable."
They said when a district attorney fails to follow through on their duties it "does not minister justice, it facilitates injustice."
The high court said because "the problems are poised to continue," it's now requiring the Attorney General to intervene on behalf of the commonwealth.
"It is only in Philadelphia County that there has been a pronounced, documented pattern of highly problematic prosecutorial concessions," the judges added.
#Based.
Finally, some good news and some sanity and some actual justice.

"Burning Cross" Reminiscent of the Days of Jim Crow and the KKK Turns Out to Have Been a Hoax Perpetrated by a Left-Wing Gay Asian Man Who Now Claims He Had No Idea It Was a Symbol Intended to Intimidate and Terrify
—Disinformation Expert Ace
He's saying this because he can be charged for making a terroristic threat, if Chicago wanted to prosecute an antifa leftist, which it doesn't.
But the possibility is there. So he's saying he had no idea the cross was used as a symbol of intimidation. See, he may have done the act, but, like Hillary Clinton, he didn't have intent.
Owen Gregorian @OwenGregorian3h
Chicago Cross-Burning Incident Blamed on 'White Supremacists' was Carried Out by Leftist Anti-Trump/Anti-MAGA Protester | Margaret Flavin, The Gateway Pundit
On June 9, 2026, police and firefighters responded to a burning cross in Chicago's Grant Park.
The incident prompted immediate backlash, and one local church offered a $10,000 reward to help make an arrest, and local officials were quick to blame the incident on racism and 'white supremacists.'
Block Club Chicago reports that Rev. Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina Church, who offered the reward, noted, "Racism has always been a part of America's DNA, and this week it has raised its head boldly and loudly," Pfleger said in a statement.
"This bold rise of racism must be condemned by every race, faith community, and Chicagoan as was done with the swastika and treated as a hate crime."
In a statement Wednesday afternoon, Mayor Brandon Johnson said the police investigation "remains ongoing."
"Like many Chicagoans across our city, we were deeply disturbed upon seeing the images which have emerged following this incident," the statement said. "Hate has no place in our city. Every Chicagoan deserves to feel safe, protected, and respected while going about their day or enjoying our public spaces."
Several members of the council's Black Caucus learned about the incident Wednesday morning when asked about it by Block Club Chicago. Ald. Greg Mitchell (7th) was initially speechless when a reporter showed him a photo of the burning cross.
"I can't believe it's 2026, we are still dealing with stuff like that ... That's the simplest I can put it," Mitchell said.
As it turns out, however, the cross-burner is an Asian man, Merlin Lu, who burned the cross, adorned with a MAGA hat, to protest President Trump and MAGA.
I look forward to Gov. Pritzker holding Merlin Lu accountable because (MAGA) hate has no home here in Illinois, right?-- Dan Proft (@DanProft) June 16, 2026
Lu, a senior at the University of Illinois Chicago, spoke with NBC.
"He's just scamming people," Lu told the reporter.
"We're just being scammed out of money, right. And I think that's a great reflection of how this country works right now, where money controls everything."
As for burning the cross, which the Anti-Defamation League says is one of the "most potent hate symbols in the United States," Lu responded, "I wanted to find something that I could do by myself, like no organization, no friends," he added.
"I did know about this historical relevance beforehand, but I didn't know the severity, how racially motivated it may seem from what I did."
The Gateway Pundit reached out to local police for additional comment and will be updated if a response occurs.
He says it wasn't a racist act because he just wanted to terrify the black population into voting against Trump, not just terrify them generally.
It's that ever-present "Because Trump" excuse.
The stunt took place in the same park where former President Barack Obama delivered his acceptance speech when he was elected the nation's first black president in 2008.It sparked a furious backlash and prompted the Chicago Police Department to release photos of a suspect, which Lu has now claimed is him.
Police have confirmed a person is in custody for arson, but have not confirmed if it is Lu.
University of Illinois Chicago senior Lu told NBC Chicago he concocted the stunt as a way to protest President Donald Trump and the MAGA Christian nationalists that support him.
'He's just scamming people,' Lu told the outlet. 'And I think that's a great reflection of how this country works right now, where money controls everything. Money has power over health care. Money has power over transportation.'
The cross was set ablaze with a red MAGA hat on top of it.
So if you ever commit a hate-crime and need a defense, just say you were doing the hate-crime ironically to Raise Awareness of Trump's perfidity. Works every time.
See, he just saw the burning cross on a Wikipedia page and read no further.
Pressed by NBC 5 on how he made it through four years in college without realizing how hateful burning crosses were, Lu admitted the extent of his research was reading a Wikipedia page."I just saw the Wikipedia page with the movie with the, like, I think it's called like 'Under One Nation' or something like that," he said, misidentifying the infamous 1915 movie "Birth of a Nation," which popularized much of the modern KKK's imagery.

Wednesday Morning Rant
—Joe Mannix
Late last week, Elon Musk's SpaceX dominated headlines with its IPO. The company went public and raised $75 billion at $135 per share, valuing the company at $1.77 trillion. Not to be outdone, SpaceX has continue to run up, closing at $192.50 yesterday, with a market cap of an eye-watering $2.642 trillion, becoming the fourth most valuable company in the world. Elon Musk, at least on paper, is now a trillionaire.
What I find most interesting about this is not the preposterous valuation or the caterwauling the usual suspects, but the stated basis for that valuation. In the company's SEC filing is one of the biggest pieces of, let's call it "optimism" ever put into a prospectus. That valuation on SpaceX has little to do with space as such, and rather a lot to do with computers and networking. That is not a surprise, given that SpaceX as a space development company is not profitable. Developing rockets is extremely expensive and getting Starship over the line is capital-intensive. There is also tremendous opportunity there, as ultra-heavy launch capacity comes online.

—J.J. Sefton
Good morning kids. Early doctor's appointment for the wife this morning so off we go...
And as the details of the Iran ceasefire deal continue to dominate the headlines, the good bad and ugly, we have this item of some minor interest, eh?
A complaint from FBI task force officer Christopher Betts alleged that 19-year-old Tycen Proper of Knox County, Ohio, joined a group that wanted to unleash mass terror at the UFC event. The group wanted to target Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and other elected officials they said had compromised themselves by taking money from “pro-Israel PACs,” according to the complaint.In messages plotting the attack, the FBI alleges that Proper wrote, “I got a possible target Marsha Blackburn is senator for Tennessee” because “she’s taken money from the Israel pro Israel lobby and supports them.”
The suspects planned to use explosive drones to drive a crowd in the direction of snipers, according to investigators.
Betts said that Proper, whom local law enforcement arrested last week, “admitted to planning with others a coordinated attack against the United States government during the UFC event scheduled to take place.”
Other elected officials seen as targets were Senator Jim Justice, Senator Shelley Moore Capito, Rep. Carol Miller, and Rep. Riley Moore — all of whom hail from West Virginia — Betts said a review of a chat planning the attack revealed.
Principles for a Centrist Realignment: The Grand Alliance: The path to national renewal begins when Americans unite around common sense instead of division, decline, and perpetual crisis.
That's just the headline and subhead which is enough to make my point, but here's a bit more to whet your appetite or make you puke:
First, most Americans don’t want to live in a divided nation, and they don’t want to live in a culture that has devolved to cater to society’s lowest, most abnormal, deviant, hedonistic, psychotic, sociopathic, dishonest, crooked, lazy, defiant, bizarre, militant cohorts of individuals, regardless of the fact they’ve become politically organized and demand equality of outcome in every imaginable context. Most Americans understand the inherent necessity and benefits of nuclear families, hard work, and immutable standards for achievement and recognition.Second, America’s culture of common sense and unity is threatened by a fractious coalition of fanatics and lunatics who are relatively small in number and who harbor an innate antipathy toward each other that is only held in check by rivers of money flowing to them from globalist billionaires, opportunistic corporations, environmentalist pressure groups, and government unions. Their resources are money and anger. . .
Where to even begin. If any of this were true, then California would not be Zimbabwe on the Pacific instead of what it once was; the world's sixth largest economy and where many once flocked to make their American dream become real. We as a nation and people are more divided than at any time in our history, perhaps even more than 1860. Because as fundamentally serious as the issue of slavery was, we are now divided by the perverse notion that our nation and society as founded is illegitimate and that those who support it and desire its restoration are an evil to be eradicated by any and every means necessary, as the foiled plot against the UFC event at the white House, and every other attack and assassination attempt has demonstrated to all but the blind deaf and dumb.
So, just like the moderates of Islam, where are the so-called "moderates" of the Democrat/Left in the wake of the aforementioned as well as all of the attacks on our values, institutions and even ourselves, be it the President, Laken Riley or the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Ashli Babbitt, Roseanne Boyland, and Austin Metcalf whose grave is being urinated upon to the cheering of those we are supposed to make peace with?
Sorry but in the immortal words of Andrew Breitbart FUCK YOU, WAR
And nothing but absolute victory will be acceptable to me.
Have a great day,

Feds Indict 15 Members of Minnesota Antifa Paramilitary
—Disinformation Expert Ace
The Department of Justice (DOJ) charged 15 individuals on Tuesday with conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers during the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis. The defendants are members and associates of a Twin Cities Antifa cell network, prosecutors said.US Attorney for Minnesota Daniel Rosen announced that the defendants are allegedly involved with Twin Cities Direct Action, later renamed Direct Action Minnesota, or "DAMN," a collective that organizes anti-ICE operations across the Minneapolis area. The 94-page indictment alleges the cell trained extremists in surveillance, rapid mobilization, shield tactics, blockade operations, and methods designed to interfere with federal immigration enforcement.
The indictment also identifies the Black Cat Workers Collective, a Minneapolis-based Antifa affinity group, as a key component of the network. The group promotes militant tactics, physical confrontation, and revolutionary political objectives while organizing actions against ICE and law enforcement, according to prosecutors.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) conducted home raids on Tuesday morning and took 12 of the 15 defendants into custody. Two defendants remain at large, and another defendant was already in jail.
The defendants have been charged with conspiracy to impede or injure federal agents and officers, alleging they worked together from January through June 2026 to prevent ICE and other Department of Homeland Security personnel from carrying out federal duties.
...
Most of the defendants keep a low profile, like how Antifa militants are trained, but Wagner went viral earlier this year for his social media videos urging violence against federal agents. Wagner also declared himself an Antifa member in the videos and fundraised for the movement.
...
The alleged conspiracy centered on the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Fort Snelling, which houses ICE operations for the Upper Midwest. The militants organized both "hard" and "soft" blockades intended to shut down access to the facility. The indictment describes plans involving homemade shields, trailers, vehicles, and physical barriers placed in roadways used by law enforcement.
Similar tactics were deployed by Antifa in Portland and other cities during the deadly 2020 BLM-Anitfa riots after George Floyd died.
...
"The charges and arrests reflect a broad federal effort to address organized lawless behavior, which seeks to disrupt the execution of federal law, endanger law enforcement, and, importantly, endanger the very communities that these defendants falsely claim to be protecting," said US Attorney for Minneapolis Daniel Rosen.
"Direct Action Minnesota emphasizes their violent militant approach to politics, and are highly critical of non-violent peaceful protest," said Rosen, explaining that the organization is "dedicated to direct action against federal law and immigration enforcement."
"This action is not peaceful. It's obstructive, disruptive, and unlawful. The organization trains its members in the aggressive use of shields against law enforcement, surveillance, operational planning, and rapid mobilization against law enforcement actions," Rosen added.

Rupert Lowe Releases His Rape Gang Report
—Disinformation Expert Ace
The UK government has refused to investigate the crimes so I believe Lowe crowd-funded an investigatory body and conducted interviews and wrote up a report.
It begins with some appropriate quotations:
The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.--Albert Einstein
Man is the cruellest animal.
--Friedrich Nietzsche
Matt Van Swol @mattvanswolI have just finished reading The Rape Gang Inquiry Report.
It is, without a doubt, the most horrifying document I've ever read in my life.
There is no close second... and it's worse than you could ever imagine.
Here's everything you need to know 🧵
1. The inquiry estimates AT LEAST 250,000 girls.A QUARTER MILLION.
They are overwhelmingly white girls and they were raped, trafficked & tortured over decades.
The 250k number is the MINIMUM, the FLOOR... there are likely even more than this.
2. The same crime was documented in at least 149 local authority districts... nearly 40% of the country.
This wasn't dozens of isolated local incidents, this was ABSOLUTELY a national pattern the state CHOSE to let grow for decades.
The first recorded case dates to 1955.
3. The NHS treated 13-year-olds for gonorrhea & chlamydia, logged pregnancies from rape and injuries from assault...
...BUT THEN DISCHARGED THE CHILDREN THE SAME NIGHT, back to their abusers!!!!
They treated symptoms and ignored the crime ENTIRELY, pure evil.
4. Children's homes became actual trafficking hubs.
Social services placed already-groomed kids in units they KNEW were targeted, returned girls to the exact addresses where they'd been raped, and stripped protective parents of authority...
...often IN FRONT OF THE CHILD!!!
5. Police criminalized the victims and let rapists walk.
Girls were literally arrested for being "drunk & disorderly" after their own assaults.
A South Yorkshire officer cut a "no-prosecution deal" with a known abuser.
Some officers were INSIDE THE RAPE GANGS!!!
6. Pregnancy was used as a WEAPON.
Girls were deliberately impregnated for control.
Some miscarried from trauma, some were forced into abortions...
...and the state took the babies while leaving the mothers in the SAME HOUSES WHERE THE ABUSE CONTINUED!!!
7. Survivors described "red rooms" for extreme torture, daily rape, being passed between BROTHERS and friends, and trafficking across county lines.
In some cases shipped to the Middle East for forced marriage.
All of it was FILMED for blackmail purposes.
8. Schools literally saw older men collecting girls at the gates and heard disclosures of rape on school grounds.
Their response? Exclude the VICTIM.
In fact, taxi licensing renewed permits for the very drivers who were the logistical backbone of the trafficking networks.
9. The whistleblowers got punished... not the rapists.
Social workers were suspended.
Parents hit with home raids, asset freezes, gag orders.
Records were shredded.
In one case, a father was screamed at by police to STOP reporting his own daughter missing!!
10. The overwhelming majority of the rape gang networks consisted entirely of men from Muslim backgrounds.Between 87%-95% of the men involved in the rape gangs were Muslim...
...despite them being 6% of the population.
Here's a passage on the culture of migrants and how their view of girls -- who are to dress and behave modestly, and always be escorted by males, or be subject to the collective punishment of the chattel for rape and whoredom-- resulted in this barbarity.
Islamic Clan CultureEvidence from the author and activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali at the Inquiry highlights
that the grooming and rape gangs operating in towns such as Rotherham,
Rochdale, and others are not isolated instances of criminality, but stem from
imported pre-modern clan systems embedded within certain ethno-cultural
communities, reinforced by specifically Islamic collectivism. As before stated,
the crimes disproportionately involve perpetrators from Pakistani heritage
backgrounds, with patterns rooted in honour- and shame-based dynamics that
are wholly anathema to British norms.The behaviour is deeply tied to tribal structures prevalent in parts of Pakistan,
Afghanistan, the Middle East, North Africa, and Somalia:● Family honour is primarily vested in the conduct, modesty, and virginity
of girls and women. Strict codes require obedience, covering, and
restricted interaction with outsiders. Breaches within the community
trigger severe sanctions, including honour killings or collective retaliation
by male clan members.● When the target is a non-Muslim girl -- particularly White British girls
perceived as unguarded, dressed in Western styles and lacking male
protectors -- the risk calculation shifts. No retaliation is expected from
the girl's family or community, so some young men feel emboldened to
treat her as property and then approach, assault, groom, share among the
group, and sell her services.● This proprietorial view of women escalates into organised networks that
traffic girls across regions. Impunity fuels the cycle: initial assaults without consequences create a perception of Britain as a place where such behaviour carries no risk, turning vulnerable girls into commodified products.
I would say it's worse than that: Impunity suggests to the migrant that the British people agree with their view of white girls as fair game for rape, and agree that Muslim culture is superior to the weak culture of the UK.
When people voluntarily kneel before conquerors, what message could the conquerors receive other than the conquered accept and validate their conquest?
A key contrast emerged in evidence. When similar gangs targeted Sikh girls, the Sikh community mobilised men to confront and deter the perpetrators effectively. White working-class girls lacked equivalent collective protection, not least because authorities often silenced concerns with accusations of racism, allowing the abuse to persist and expand into modern-day slavery.
And note the Sikh's had to resort to self-help -- vigilantism -- because the state refused to do its most basic duty of protecting innocent children.
We have council seats to hold, don't you know.
Even second-, third-, or fourth-generation immigrants raised in Britain continue these patterns, acting as demographic clusters where the clan system reproduces itself and intensifies, regardless of the wider culture. Ongoing immigration from such clannish foreign backwaters serves only to replenish and strengthen such communities.While the foundational system is tribal rather than purely religious, Islamic elements provide ideological justification, communal shielding, and strategic expansion. Perpetrators sometimes hide actions from families, mosques, and imams because the behaviour brings disgrace to the community. Yet remorse toward British victims is limited because non-Muslim girls are not viewed as fully human individuals deserving protection, but as unprotected outsiders available for abuse without moral consequence. This fosters widespread silence within affected communities.
The Inquiry evidence points to a fundamental clash of worlds. Across the West, our historic respect for the individual has, thanks to mass immigration, been overpowered by the more primitive attitudes that prevail elsewhere, according to which group membership matters first and foremost. The elite obsession with diversity has invited the latter to take advantage of the former. Scare-words like
'Islamophobia' and 'racism' have been deployed to exploit the good will of Western host societies, paralysing investigation and enforcement.
As the Sikh example showed, this predation could have been repudiated and stopped before becoming industrial-scale if white British liberals (including the cowards and Quislings of the "Conservative" party) showed any courage or resolve at all in opposing the rape of white working girls. But they did not.
As the Executive Summary says:
Were Britain functioning effectively, these girls would have received considerable state protection. However, every one of our institutions failed them catastrophically. Police forces ignored repeated reports, criminalised victims instead of perpetrators, destroyed evidence, and allowed known rapists to walk free on bail.Social care services undermined protective parents, placed children in trafficking hubs inside children's homes, closed cases despite clear indicators of exploitation, and retaliated against whistleblowers.
The NHS recorded genital injuries, multiple sexually transmitted infections in children as young as 13,pregnancies caused by rape, and suicide attempts, yet discharged victims back to their abusers without safeguarding referrals or trauma care.
Schools observed older men collecting girls at the gates, heard disclosures of rape on school premises, and responded by excluding victims rather than protecting them.
Taxi licensing authorities renewed permits for drivers who formed the logistical backbone of the networks and collapsed in the face of organised protests when basic safety measures were proposed.
Political failure lies at the heart of the scandal. Successive governments lacked the will to confront the ethnic and religious patterns. The Labour Party bears particular responsibility. It initially refused a public inquiry and only relented under pressure by ordering a process viewed with widespread scepticism.
Labour-dominated councils and MPs were briefed on the gangs long ago yet later denied knowledge. The party prioritised electoral reliance on Muslim voting blocs and then blocked or watered down inquiries, suppressed ethnicity data, and framed legitimate concerns as 'far-right' agitation. When finally forced to act, the Labour government produced a national inquiry whose tightly drawn terms of reference deliberately excluded systematic examination of the demographic, cultural, and religious drivers.
The Conservative Party, while in government, continued with Labour's approach and failed to impose mandatory ethnicity recording or launch a full statutory inquiry despite clear evidence from Rotherham and elsewhere.
Scottish political parties have refused a dedicated inquiry and failed to record offender ethnicity. Political correctness, fear of accusations of racism, and fear of losing electoral support from certain demographics have taken precedence over the protection of British children.
Whistleblowers, parents, and survivors who came forward showed extraordinary
courage, despite having been met in the past with disbelief and intimidation.
The perpetrators operated with impunity because the state enabled them.The evidence now demands immediate and decisive action to eradicate the problem, deliver justice for the victims, and ensure these abhorrent crimes are eradicated from our shores.

Fury as UK's Two-Tier Justice System Refuses to Bring Charges Against Vickrum Digwa's Brother, Who Lied to Police and Thereby Prevented Needed Medical Aid to the Victim

Fury over decision not to bring charges against brother of Henry Nowak's killer after he helped him lie to police about murdered student being racistBy MARTIN ROBINSON, CHIEF REPORTER
The decision not to charge the brother of Henry Nowak's killer after he falsely accused him of racism and being the aggressor was today branded 'incredible'.
A leading lawyer believes Gurpreet Digwa should have been prosecuted for perverting the course of justice at the very least.
Marcus Johnstone, of PCD Solicitors, said evidence at the trial of Henry's killer Vickrum Digwa also suggested his brother may have committed perjury, assisted an offender and obstructed police.
But the Daily Mail can reveal that Hampshire Police did not ask the Crown Prosecution Service to consider any case whatsoever against Gurpreet over Henry's murder.
Gurpreet Digwa watched as police handcuffed fatally injured Henry, who had been stabbed six times with an eight-inch Sikh ceremonial sword on December 3, 2025.
Gurpreet had told police 'we've been racially attacked by a white person' before officers wrongly arrested Henry as he lay dying, 999 audio revealed.
He said: 'We are restraining him now because he has attacked my brother and taken his turban off and he was recording some "s*** on his phone.'
But claims Henry had launched a racist attack were later revealed to be a 'wicked lie'.
Marcus Johnstone told the Daily Mail: 'There is no doubt Gurpreet Digwa has likely committed one or more criminal offences in assisting his brother to cover up Henry Nowak's murder.
'The judge referred to Vickrum Digwa and his mother both perverting the course of justice. It seems incredible his brother was not also charged.
'This reflects extremely badly on the police.'
It comes as Vickrum Digwa's jail term is set to be reconsidered under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme, amid claims the case shows 'two-tier' justice.
An online petition is calling for Gurpreet to be reinvestigated.
Although never charged, he was at the centre of the case that saw his younger brother convicted of murder.
Gurpreet had called 999, falsely claiming Henry had racially abused him and his brother.
'We've just been attacked racially by some white person,' he said.
Gurpreet, himself, 'may just have been accepting that which [Digwa] told him', judge William Mousley KC later said, but he added that he was 'sure' Mr Nowak never said or did anything racist.
Gurpreet had also insisted to the 999 operator there were 'no weapons' involved - despite both brothers carrying Sikh ceremonial knives.
'I don't know what weapons they would be, he said.
He added: 'The guy has fallen over because he looks like he's drunk'.
After Henry died, both brothers were arrested.
Two-Tier Kier was too busy propagandizing a decade-old murder to comment on the current news:
Keir StarmerIt has been ten years since our friend and colleague Jo Cox was murdered by a far-right terrorist.
She was a dedicated mother, a fierce campaigner and a deeply committed Member of Parliament. Her conviction that we have more in common than that which divides us lives on beyond her death.
We all wish Jo was still here with us today, and we will continue to honour her legacy by standing by her message of hope and unity in the face of hatred and division.

Sweden Passes Law Requiring "Good Behavior" by Migrants Or Else Face Deportation
—Disinformation Expert Ace
"Good behavior" requires more than merely not breaking the law.
Visegrád 24 @visegrad24🇸🇪 Sweden has passed a "good behavior" law allowing migrants to be deported over non-criminal conduct such as tax debts or extremist links.
This will allow the Swedish government the power to revoke residence permits and deport legal immigrants without a specific criminal charge.
Now, grounds for deportation from Sweden may simply be based on the migrant's non-criminal misconduct, such as benefit fraud, links to extremist organizations, illegal work, unpaid debts, and tax evasion.
I mean, almost all of those are criminal behavior. Some might not be felony criminal behavior, and one -- "links to extremist organizations" -- isn't itself a criminal offense but it's a huge, huge flag suggesting very serious criminal offenses indeed.
Well, at least it's something.
Such cases will be evaluated by the Swedish Migration Agency.
This bill was pushed through by the Prime Minister's right-wing minority government, heavily supported by the nationalist Sweden Democrats party.
Propaganda organization Reuters needs you to know that "human rights organizations" object to this law and says it offends "equality under the law."
Sweden's parliament passed a law on Monday allowing authorities to revoke immigrants' residency permits based on bad behaviour, such as having unpaid debts, doing undeclared work or links to extremist organisations.The law, which covers pending permits but also retroactively already granted permits, is part of a wider tightening of immigration rules by the right-wing government and its support party, the nationalist Sweden Democrats, ahead of a parliamentary election in September.
The law has been criticised by the opposition and human rights advocacy groups as arbitrary because decisions would be taken on behaviour that has not been deemed criminal.
"The good behaviour law leaves people in uncertainty about what actions or expressions can be used against them," Stockholm-based group Civil Rights Defenders said in a statement.
"It undermines the rule of law and the principle of equality before the law."
No, it doesn't. They are not citizens. They do not have a right to be in the country, only the government's leave to be in the country
That leave can be withdrawn.
The government, which won the 2022 election on a promise to reduce immigration and crack down on crime, has said that people who misbehave or commit crimes are not welcome.
...
"Anyone who doesn't make the effort to do the right thing shouldn't be able to count on staying," Minister of Migration Johan Forssell said when he proposed the bill in March.
Every civilized country will have a law like this in five years. Those who don't have it will already be de-civilized.
Not uncivilized, but de-civilized, taken from a state a civilization to a state of barbarism.

Top SPLC Official Funnelled a Million in Donor Money to Her Neo-Nazi Boytoy and Your Guess as To Her General Appearance and Body Type Is Dead-On Accurate
—Disinformation Expert Ace
She hoped to defeat White Supremacy by s***ing the hate out of it.
SPLC boss funneled $1.2 million to lover in neo-Nazi group -- pair even had joint bank accountA top Southern Poverty Law Center official is accused of helping funnel $1.2 million in donor money to an informant in the National Alliance white supremacist group -- who was also allegedly her lover.
The Department of Justice filed a superseding indictment against the SPLC accusing it of funneling donor cash to hate groups they were then telling donors they were fighting.
One figure, referred to as "Employee-2" in the indictment, is described as a "person who would become Director of the SPLC's Intelligence Project."
It also describes how "Employee-2" wrote an article based on material stolen from National Alliance headquarters in 2014 and then paid off an informant to take the blame for the robbery.
Based on the details in the June 2 superseding indictment, "Employee-2" is believed to be Heidi Beirich, a 58-year-old fascism expert who was the director of intelligence at the Alabama-based anti-extremism nonprofit between 2012 and 2019.
All unmarried leftwing white women -- every single one of them -- are "fascism experts" and "disinformation experts." They get assigned their credentials by their gynecologists.
The indictment alleges Beirich was very close to the informant known only as "F-9" who "infiltrated the neo-Nazi organization National Alliance.""[Beirich] was also in a romantic relationship with F-9. During this relationship, [Beirich] and F-9 shared a house and two bank accounts," the indictment alleges.
"Between 2015 and 2021, approximately $140,000 in donors' money flowed from the SPLC operating account ... and was ultimately deposited into the joint bank accounts held by F-9 and [Beirich].
"This amounted to approximately 66% of all money ever deposited into their joint bank accounts. [Beirich] then used donors' money to pay the couple's personal living expenses."
The indictment also claims that while getting paid by the SPLC, the unnamed informant was also raising money for the National Alliance and helping to "carry out its extremist activities."
...Beirich and SPLC did not respond to requests for comment from The Post.
"I knew it was that fat, ugly hog Heidi Beirich," National Alliance chairman William White Williams, 78, told The Post from his home in east Tennessee. He also confirmed the details of the indictment match what happened to the group.
"I think some of those cluckers wanted to get out of the movement and they went to the SPLC for help. But instead of helping them, [the SPLC] said, 'Why don't you stay in and get paid?'" he added of the informants.

The Morning Rant: MLB's Hatred Of Traditional America Continues Apace!
—CBD
Hatred of religion is a hallmark of the progressive mindset that has engulfed Major League Baseball. Well, not all religions...just the ones that Americans prefer. Islam is conspicuously absent from the mockery and marginalizing that MLB prefers as its corporate ethos. Remember the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence? Yeah...the vile drag group that revels in insulting Christianity, in part by dressing as outrageous nuns? No hint of them dressing as an imam, or Mohamed? I wonder why! But MLB loves them!
Maybe the marketing wonks in the front offices think that there is a vast untapped market for professional baseball among America's homosexuals. How else does one explain the fixation on all things gay? Or maybe there is an equally vast but closeted contingent of gay players who secretly demand recognition but are too enamored of their endorsements to come out of the closet?
Or maybe Occam's Razor applies here, and MLB and the teams are simply overwhelmingly leftist, and they just love sticking a thumb in the eye of traditional America, no matter that it is traditional America who buys their tickets and jerseys and bobble-heads.
Late last week, the San Francisco Giants hosted their "Pride Night," with the team wearing hats with a rainbow-colored Giants logo.Several Giants pitchers, in a statement of their faith, wrote Bible verse designations on their hats. One, starting pitcher Landen Roupp, addressed his reasoning after the game, saying that the verse is about representing "God's covenant."
Good for them. There was no criticism of the ridiculous "Pride Night" nonsense...they were merely expressing their faith, and for that they deserve respect.
Hilariously and predictably, MLB has lashed out! Never mind that a "Pride Night" is an overtly political statement, and making the players wear those horrid and insulting logos is imposing MLB's political and social stance on the players, making the league's warning explicitly hypocritical.
Per The Athletic, an MLB official has now "warned" those players against violating the rules and writing on their cap."The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations," said Pat Courtney, MLB's chief communications officer, in a statement.
That's a lie. Pat Courtney is a liar. "Normal Practice" allows writing on caps unless it seems to attack the sacred cow of MLB... homosexuality. Too bad MLB wasn't equally strict with the amazingly offensive demonstrations with respect to dead fentanyl addict George Floyd! Apparently political stances are perfectly okay if they are in line with the leftist principles embraced by MLB, but beyond the pale when they support Christianity
Baseball is busily taking a national sport that printed money and turning it into a regional sport with a fair number of struggling franchises. If they think that embracing progressive politics that are antithetical to traditional American culture will save baseball's fortunes...they are wrong.
