Congress has enacted legislation allocating at least $5.5 billion in taxpayer funding to finance pandemic and outbreak preparedness in fiscal year 2026 - despite no declared pandemic and no formal emergency authorization.

The funding is contained in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 (H.R. 7148), which President Donald Trump signed into law on February 3, 2026, after the bill passed both chambers of Congress and was presented to the White House earlier that day. [Read More]

Australians could face up to 15 years imprisonment for comments deemed offensive by the government. The Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill introduced this month establishes federal offenses for “publicly promoting or inciting hatred.” Speech, writing, or “other forms of public gestures” will be monitored and controlled.

A British teacher was reported to the UK’s counter-terrorism Prevent program and accused of a potential hate crime after showing his students videos of Donald Trump, including his inauguration and a pro-Trump music video, sparking concerns over free speech and political bias in education.

We have just seen another of these seemingly endless mass casualty events. This one happened at Bondi Beach, Australia. These events occur so fast and furiously that they are forgotten even more quickly than other, non-mass casualty widely reported events. Some people actually still believe that they are real, organic incidents. [Read More]

Britain, a country which practically invented the tenets of free speech, is now the most repressive, backward country of the West which is ridiculed on a daily basis by the very same countries that it regaled for its human rights record. There are just too many cases to rattle off which have at least made the news – social media, at least – but the mother who had police officers come into her house while she was in the bath to arrest her for calling an ex-boyfriend a ‘faggot’ has shocked many, given that the boyfriend in question beat her up and the message was not even sent to him. Elizabeth Kinney escaped jail but received a sentence involving community service and a considerable fine. Kinney was just one of around 12,000 people each year in the UK who are arrested and charged for giving their views about a given subject which the state deems could hurt someone, or in the case of politics, if it simply challenges a narrative. This farce would appear to have gotten out of hand when the long arm of the law even arrested and questioned right-wing hack Katie Holmes, who, during a stand-up comedy routine called herself a “spazza” and was subsequently detained for hours by UK police for the “offence”.

The leaking of the video showing Israeli soldiers and their dog torturing and sodomising a Palestinian prisoner/hostage in Sde Teiman desert prison has exposed to the whole world what Palestinians have known and suffered for the last 78 years on the hands of the so-called “most moral army” but kept unrevealed due to shame the sexual rape would bring on prisoners and on their families.

The release of the video caused an uproar and mass rallies in Israel. The act of leaking of the video shocked Israeli society more than the abhorrent crime itself. Mass Jewish Israeli demonstrations took place in front of the Supreme Court expressing their outrage over the leaking of the sexual abuse video of the Israeli soldiers and their dog raping a Palestinian prisoner, demanding the protection of these soldiers’ “right to rape Palestinians” and the persecution of Major General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, who leaked the video.
