Report: Personal Crimes in Gun-Controlled Australia Triple that of Gun-Friendly USA

Personal crimes such as rape and sexual assault are three times higher in gun-controlled Australia than in the USA, a report in the Spectator/Australia on Wednesday details.

Written by Malcolm Roberts and John Lott, Jr., the report begins by explaining that the establishment media’s approach to coverage and the method of compiling crime stats leads many to believe Australia’s “crime rate is low compared with the countries like the United States.”

The media “reinforces the myth” of lower crime while less than 20 percent of rapes and sexual assaults are reported to Australian police. However, in the U.S.,  45 percent of such personal crimes are reported to police. This difference in the level of personal crime reporting skews the figures seen by the populations of both countries and feeds into the establishment media’s low-crime narrative.

After a hard look at the real numbers, Roberts and Lott wrote: “Australia’s rape and sexual assault rate is roughly three times higher than that of the United States. Australia’s assault rate is about twice as high, and its burglary rate is about 2.5 times higher. Robbery is the only category where the two countries report similar rates.”

Under Pressure, Michigan Makes It Easier to Opt Out of Vaccine Tracking

Michigan health freedom and privacy advocates scored a win this month when the state’s health department stopped using a vaccine information handout that failed to explain to parents how they can opt out of the state’s vaccine tracking program, and didn’t include an opt-out form.

It’s the latest development in health freedom and privacy advocates’ efforts to get the state health department to stop adding a thick layer of bureaucratic red tape — which isn’t even required under state law — that makes it difficult for families to opt out of vaccines and vaccination tracking.

“While this is definitely a win, there is still a long way to go,” said journalist and Michigan resident Jeremy R. Hammond, who has a 13-year-old unvaccinated son.

Until now, the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services (MDHHS) largely avoided telling parents what the tracking system is and how they can opt out of it, Hammond said.

This matters because the state’s vaccination tracking system, Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR), causes “pressure and coercion” for families who prefer not to vaccinate, according to Dr. Remington Nevin, medical director for the St. Clair County Health Department in rural eastern Michigan.

Dubbed “Michigan’s ‘RFK Jr.’” by Bridge Michigan, Nevin is an epidemiologist with multiple degrees from Johns Hopkins University. He is also a former U.S. Army major and preventive medicine officer.

Nevin spoke with The Defender about why it’s crucial for parents to be able to opt out of MCIR — and how he submitted Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests that likely led the state health department to stop using the old form and start making it easier for parents to opt out.

State health department violated Michigan law

The MCIR system sends reminders to medical staff to encourage them to keep their pediatric patients up to date with the American Academy of Pediatrics or the American Academy of Family Physicians childhood vaccine schedule.

When a child visits a clinic, front desk staff and nurses may tell parents their child is due for a particular vaccine, even though “the parent and the child’s physician may have decided together through shared clinical decision-making to not give that shot until later on in the child’s life,” Nevin said.

Michigan law requires the state health department to give parents a form — before vaccinating a child — notifying parents that they can object to having their child automatically enrolled in MCIR.

But for years, MDHHS failed to give parents any such form.

White British Children Set to Become Minority in England’s Schools, Department of Education Data Reveals

England’s latest school census has revealed a historic demographic turning point, with White British pupils having fallen below 60 percent of the school population for the first time, confirming what critics of mass immigration have warned for years—the country is being transformed, potentially irreversibly, at breathtaking speed.

According to Department for Education data for the 2025–2026 school year, pupils identified as White British now make up just 59.7 percent of schoolchildren in England. Pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds have reached nearly 39 percent, a record high.

Only a decade ago, White British pupils made up roughly 70 percent of all schoolchildren. In just ten years, the share of White British children in England’s classrooms has fallen by around ten percentage points.

The data, for opponents of mass immigration, are not just school statistics, but evidence of a national transformation that has advanced without clear public consent, serious parliamentary debate, or honest warnings from the political class.

British academic and commentator Matt Goodwin has pointed to the figures as proof that demographic change is accelerating. He argues that classrooms offer the clearest preview of Britain’s future because today’s pupils will become tomorrow’s voters, workers, parents, and citizens.

The trend is visible across the education system. In state-funded secondary schools, the White British share has dropped from 71 percent to 59 percent over the past decade.

Primary schools show the same pattern. White British pupils have fallen from 68 percent to just under 60 percent.

But the nursery figures are the most striking. White British children now make up only 47 percent of nursery pupils, down from 69 percent in 2016–2017.

That means White British children are already a minority among England’s youngest pupils. This, for a growing number of critics of globalist imposed demographic change at a rate never before seen, is the real warning sign—not a distant forecast, but the demographic future arriving in real time.

London has already passed the point completely. White British pupils are now a minority in every one of the capital’s 33 local authorities.

The same transformation is spreading far beyond London. In Milton Keynes, White British pupils account for 41.5 percent of schoolchildren.

In Blackburn, the figure stands at 38.4 percent. Bradford records 37.3 percent, while Wolverhampton is at 34.5 percent.

The numbers are lower in some of England’s largest urban centers. Manchester stands at 28.7 percent, while Birmingham is listed at 23.6 percent in one section of the source material.

Leicester records 19.5 percent. Barking and Dagenham stands at 14.9 percent, Luton at 13.7 percent, and Slough at just 9.2 percent.

One section of the source material lists Birmingham even lower, underscoring how dramatically some areas have changed. But the precise local figure matters less than the national reality: the White British share of England’s school-age population is falling fast.

Canadian Lyme sufferers pushed to state euthanasia while the US steps up

Lyme disease is surging across southeastern Ontario as black-legged ticks invade backyards, trails, and parks, driving a sharp rise in infections that health officials can no longer ignore.

Caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, Lyme disease often strikes with deceptive early symptoms or no symptoms at all. This includes fatigue, fever, and the telltale bullseye rash, which sometimes doesn’t come until weeks or months later.

Lyme is a stealthy, corkscrew-shaped spiral bacterium that drills deep into tissues, joints, and the nervous system, making it incredibly difficult to detect and hard to eradicate.

Missed early treatment can lead to chronic, debilitating pain, inflammation, and long-term illness. This can be amplified by a lack of initial symptoms or pesky co-infections, including Babesia, Bartonella, Anaplasma, and Ehrlichia.

Due to a high variability of symptoms, there aren’t necessarily textbook presentations, which can complicate diagnoses and treatment leading to more severe or atypical manifestations.

In the United States, they’re confronting this epidemic head-on.

HHS Secretary Kennedy announced concrete action to tackle Lyme, including a major multi-million-dollar tick control pilot, up to $2.5 million in Lyme innovation challenges, improved diagnostics, and a goal to reduce cases by 25% by 2035 relative to 2022 levels.

Exposing The Great Acid Reflux Scam

•Many commonly prescribed medications are given to patients despite the risks often outweighing the benefits.

•Acid-suppressing drugs are among the worst offenders, with their overuse fueled by a lack of understanding about the crucial role of stomach acid throughout the body or that acid reflux is due to too little stomach acid (as the stomach acid of digestion gives the stomach’s opening a signal to seal and not let any more food in).

•Deficient stomach acid causes many chronic health problems (e.g., macular degeneration, a myriad of autoimmune disorders such as asthma, and less overt forms of reflux that cause many common diseases of the ears, nose, and throat such as allergies, coughs, and sinusitis).

•Acid blocking medications cause a variety of severe side effects, including a 19% increased risk of death and a comparable increase in cardiac events, kidney or liver disease, numerous infections, and bone damage.

•Thankfully, many safe natural treatments can effectively address acid reflux and many of the complications of a chronic stomach acid deficiency.

In the U.S., 66% of adults are estimated to have at least one prescription, and the average person has nine filled annually. As an awake physician, one of the most depressing aspects of my work is seeing patients, especially the elderly, weighed down by numerous prescriptions that frequently do more harm than good.

For example, as I showed here, statins provide a negligible benefit (e.g., at best, taking them for five years extends one’s lifespan by 3-4 days) but create significant side effects such as severe muscle pain and cognitive impairment for 20% of users.

This tragic situation is best demonstrated by a 2007 study which showed that simply discontinuing the least necessary prescriptions resulted in a 23% reduction in the death rate and an 18.2% decrease in hospital referrals. Sadly, since the trend in medicine is always to have people on more drugs, data like this has had no effect on the practice of the overprescription of medications.

Carney using kids’ safety as cover to strip Canadians’ freedom

The Liberal government is preparing to introduce a new digital safety bill that would ban social media for users under 16, but on Tuesday’s episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra said this new legislation has nothing to do with protecting children.

“Parents can limit what their kids watch with the push of a button,” he said. “This is really about everyone else. Again, using kids as the excuse.”

The bill, reported by the Globe and Mail ahead of its introduction, would create a new digital regulator to establish safety standards for social media platforms. It would also address artificial intelligence and chatbots.

But the mechanism required to enforce an under-16 ban, Ezra noted, is the problem. To determine who is under 16, every user would need to verify their age — meaning every Canadian would need to hand their personal identification to the government just to log on.

“Mark Carney wants to make everyone sign into the internet,” he said. “It’s not actually about kids, is it?”

Ezra drew a direct line to the Liberals’ past censorship efforts, noting that child protection and anti-terrorism provisions have repeatedly been used as packaging for speech regulation bills — provisions that already exist in the Criminal Code, added as a distraction from the bills’ real purpose.

“Governments use children as a cover for their plots,” he reminded viewers.

The timing raised eyebrows, as the day before Canada’s announcement, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer delivered an almost identical speech calling on tech companies to introduce device controls to prevent children from sending and receiving explicit images.

Ezra said the parallel is not a coincidence. “On everything from censorship and digital ID to environmentalism and mass immigration, I really think Keir Starmer is setting a lot of Canadian policy,” he said.

The irony, he noted, is that Starmer has refused to call a meaningful public inquiry into the U.K.’s rape gangs and even vigorously opposed one when he was the country’s chief prosecutor.

“What a laugh to pretend he cares about kids,” Ezra said.

Another provision in the bill would grant the Canadian government a security backdoor into any app it chooses. Ezra also pointed out that every major social media platform in Canada is American owned, meaning new fines and restrictions would amount to a tax on U.S. tech firms.

FBI RAIDS Democrat-Controlled California Assessor’s Office and Assessor’s Home — Hit With Three Federal Search Warrants Amid Corruption, Favoritism, and Sexual Harassment Scandals

The FBI executed three federal search warrants Tuesday morning at the Contra Costa County Assessor’s Office and the homes of longtime Assessor Gus Kramer and his right-hand man, Assistant Assessor Vince Robb.

The FBI executed three federal search warrants on Tuesday, targeting the Contra Costa County Assessor’s Office and the homes of two top county tax officials in what is shaping up to be one of the biggest public corruption investigations to hit California’s East Bay in years.

Federal agents descended on the Contra Costa County Assessor’s Office in Martinez, along with residences connected to longtime County Assessor Gus Kramer and Assistant Assessor Vince Robb, who was recently elected to replace Kramer.

Investigators have reportedly been seeking evidence related to wire fraud and other potential offenses. No criminal charges have been announced yet.

The Assessor’s Office is responsible for property valuations across approximately 380,000 parcels of land, a massive operation that directly determines tax bills for hundreds of thousands of homeowners, businesses, and property owners across the county.

Ukraine Is Back to Its Car-Bombing Terror Campaign – And the MSM Is Cheering Them on

Fake News Globalists love their terrorists.

After Volodymyr Zelensky wasted everyone’s time with an offensive public letter ostensibly meant to demand for direct peace talks – but in truth calculated to make a splash in the press during Russia’s SPIEF forum – Ukraine is back to their ‘Asymmetric warfare’, a.k.a. terrorism.

On Monday (8), a Russian military official in charge of ammunition supplies was assassinated with a car bomb near Moscow.

Dozens of MSM news outlets reported the attack, but NOT ONE of them condemned the attack – or even attributed it to the Kiev regime.

We see them using their dirty, old, and trusted linguistic tricks to say that ‘a car bomb’ killed the Colonel.

The Telegraph reported:

“Surveillance footage caught the moment a car exploded in the middle of the street early on Tuesday in Balashikha, an industrial satellite town around six miles east of Moscow known for housing senior military personnel.

The victim was Col Damir Davydov, who headed the Russian defense ministry’s missile and artillery wing, according to The Insider, a Russian investigative outlet.”

Watch: car bomb explosion in Balashikha targeting the head of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Damir Davydov.

CDC Sued for Pushing Illegal 72-Dose Childhood Vaccine Schedule

First reported by The Defender, a new federal lawsuit is challenging the CDC’s entire childhood vaccine program.

Filed by Dr. Paul Thomas, Dr. Kenneth P. Stoller, and Stand for Health Freedom, the lawsuit accuses the CDC of recommending 72+ vaccine doses for American children without ever testing the cumulative schedule for safety.

Both doctors previously paid a heavy price for questioning the hyper-vaccination program:

  • Dr. Thomas had his license suspended five days after publishing a vaccinated vs. unvaccinated study.
  • Dr. Stoller lost his license for granting exemptions based on genetic vulnerabilities.

What the Lawsuit Alleges

  • No safety testing: Neither the CDC nor FDA has ever studied the long-term, combined effects of the full childhood schedule — despite two decades of warnings from the Institute of Medicine (2002, 2013).
  • 27 years of silence: By law, HHS must file biennial reports to Congress on vaccine safety efforts. Not a single report has been issued since 1998.
  • Constitutional violations: The suit charges the CDC with violating the First Amendment (silencing dissenting doctors), the Fifth Amendment (due process & bodily integrity), and the Administrative Procedure Act (arbitrary and capricious rulemaking).

What Plaintiffs Seek

  • Reclassify all childhood vaccines to Category B — shifting to shared decision-making, which would make medical exemptions far easier to obtain.
  • Require rigorous safety studies comparing fully vaccinated vs. unvaccinated children before any return to a mandated schedule.
  • End retaliation against doctors — protecting physicians who issue exemptions based on individualized medical judgment.

If successful, this lawsuit wouldn’t just expose the unlawful CDC hyper-vaccination program — it would mark a major victory for families seeking vaccine exemptions and for physicians fighting to practice real individualized medicine.

Hundreds of visas revoked as U.S. State Department exposes birth tourism schemes in Europe, Africa

The U.S. Department of State has escalated its global crackdown on “birth tourism schemes,” revoking hundreds of visas across Europe and Africa as a result.

In a series of Wednesday X posts, the State Department said U.S. embassies overseas uncovered international birth tourism networks spanning West Africa, Europe, and North Africa that used fraudulent documents, visa “fixers,” and coaching services to help foreign nationals obtain U.S. visas for the purpose of giving birth in the United States. Birth tourism refers to traveling to another country primarily to give birth so a child can receive automatic citizenship.

“Under President Trump, the State Department is defending the integrity of U.S. citizenship by ending illegal birth tourism schemes,” the department stated. “No foreigner is permitted to obtain a visitor visa for the primary purpose of acquiring U.S. citizenship for a child by giving birth in the U.S.”

The department also provided another example uncovered by an embassy in Europe, which “identified more than 400 suspected birth tourism cases since 2024.”

“Investigators traced them to at least six companies that coached applicants on what to say in their visa interview, arranged U.S. housing, and set up delivery plans,” it continued.

The scheme has since been shut down, and their visas were revoked. The State Department added that additionally, several “fraudsters” were banned permanently from entering the United States.

In North Africa, a U.S. embassy revoked more than 100 visas for parents participating in birth tourism. The department also said that consular officers, through “working with law enforcement and using data analytics,” had identified and stopped several networks that were abusing the system.

“A U.S. visa is a privilege, not a right. The State Department is taking action around the world to stop this abuse, dismantle birth tourism networks, and hold accountable those who try to scam our system,” the State Department concluded.
