Quebec counsellor faces disciplinary complaint over faith-based practice

A Quebec sexologist is facing disciplinary proceedings after offering counselling services that combined professional guidance with Christian teachings, according to lawyers representing her.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms said it is supporting Maryse Gaudet-Lebrun, who was served with a formal complaint on Dec. 23, 2025.

Gaudet-Lebrun, based in Montreal, holds qualifications in sexology, social work and health sciences, and is a member of the Quebec Order of Sexologists, the body that regulates licensed practitioners in the province.

The complaint reportedly challenges videos on her website in which she discusses sexuality alongside Christian teachings, prayer and biblical principles. It also alleges she promoted heterosexual sexuality within marriage and used a spiritual approach in her counselling practice.

Gaudet-Lebrun primarily serves clients who share her Christian faith and has said she aimed to provide counselling that aligns with both professional standards and clients’ religious beliefs.

Constitutional lawyer Olivier Séguin said the case reflects wider concerns about the reach of professional regulators and the role of religion in client relationships.

Gaudet-Lebrun said the complaint was deeply distressing and that legal support had been significant for her.

The matter is expected to proceed with expert reports, clarification of allegations and preparation for a disciplinary hearing.

Louisiana Democrat Mayor Indicted on Medicaid Fraud Charges

A Louisiana Democrat Mayor was indicted on Medicaid fraud charges.

Winnsboro Mayor Alice Wallace was indicted for Medicaid fraud in a $75,00 benefits scheme.

Wallace said she will be “vindicated” in a lengthy social media post.

“The devil is trying to embarrass and discredit leadership to possess power again through those who know nothing,,that way they can run it!!” Wallace wrote in a Facebook post.

The Shreveport Times reported:

Winnsboro Mayor Alice Wallace said that she will be “vindicated” of Medicaid fraud charges in a Facebook post following her arrest April 21 by Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill with the town’s mayor’s election three weeks away.

Wallace is charged with six counts of government benefits fraud in what Murrill described as a Medicaid fraud scheme in which the mayor is accused of illegally securing $75,000 in benefits from 2021 through 2026.

Wallace declined to comment when reached by USA Today Network by phone April 22, but an April 21 post on her Facebook page said, “They just energized Team Wallace…”

“It’s election time; what else you got! I’m still standing!!” the post said.

Per the Louisiana Attorney General’s office:

LBI found that Wallace fraudulently received Medicaid benefits for herself and a dependent between 2021 and 2026. Wallace did not report to LDH a change in household income, failed to disclose her marital status, and intentionally misrepresented the availability of health insurance provided through her employers.

Agents found that Wallace failed to notify LDH that she was employed from 2021 through 2022, where she received a salary and was offered health coverage insurance. From 2022 through 2026, Wallace was employed by the Town of Winnsboro, Louisiana, as the elected Mayor, and did not report to LDH that employment, income, or availability of medical health coverage as required.

LBI’s investigation revealed that Wallace and her dependent continuously utilized Medicaid program benefits from 2021 through 2026, while she received a salary that would have made her ineligible to receive benefits from the State of Louisiana and the LDH programs. The LDH Medicaid Fraud Division found that Wallace fraudulently received benefits for a combined loss of claims of approximately $75,000.00.

LBI obtained an arrest warrant for Alice Wallace through the 19th Judicial District Court of Louisiana, in that she intentionally committed:

6 Counts – LA.R.S. 14:70.9 – Government Benefits Fraud

Wallace was arrested for knowingly concealing and failing to disclose material facts affecting her and her dependents’ continued eligibility to receive benefits from the Louisiana Department of Health Medicaid program. Those six counts pertain to the years of 2021 through 2026, in which Wallace was known to be employed, received an income, failed to disclose that income as required, and continued to receive benefits.

“Our Louisiana Bureau of Investigation has arrested Winnsboro Mayor Alice Wallace for 6 counts of Medicaid fraud in a $75,000 benefits scheme,” Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said.

“It doesn’t matter who you are—if you defraud the hardworking taxpayers of Louisiana, you’re going to jail,” she said.

Failed Trump Assassin Actually Made One Good Point In Otherwise TDS Riddled Manifesto

The would-be assassin who tried to gun down President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner accidentally landed one undeniable truth amid his unhinged anti-Trump tirade: the security surrounding the event was, once again, dangerously, almost criminally, lax.

Cole Allen, the 31-year-old California teacher charged in the April 25 shooting at the Washington Hilton, sent a manifesto to family members just minutes before opening fire. In it, he dubbed himself the “Friendly Federal Assassin” and vented raw hatred at the Trump administration. Yet buried in the rant was a crystal-clear observation about the event’s pathetic protection for the President, Vice President JD Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and the rest of the presidential line of succession all gathered in one room.

The assassin’s own words on security laid it bare. “Security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.”

“Like, if I was an Iranian agent, instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed shit,” he also wrote, adding “I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.”

“I had instead expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo,” he also remarked.

He wasn’t alone in noticing. Multiple high-profile attendees at the glitzy dinner confirmed the exact same failures.

KKK informants to the SPLC de-hooded: One-legged Imperial Wizard ‘true believer’ and cleaning lady, who show no signs of reform

Two of the eight ‘informants’ paid millions by the Southern Poverty Law Center can be un-hooded by The Post as a suburban mom from Georgia and a one-legged “true believer” from Alabama.

One of the SPLC’s so-called informants was an Imperial Wizard of the United Klans of America, a Ku Klux Klan organization, who remained a committed racist until his death in 2023 aged 50.

Bradley Scott Jenkins was high-up enough in the organization to call himself the leader of the “true Klan” and never displayed any signs of reform or subverting the KKK’s message — the stated aim of the SPLC’s ‘informant’ program — according to his son, Noah Jenkins.

“When I went to the rallies with him as a kid, I never saw anything that made me think he wasn’t a true believer,” Noah, 24, told The Post of his father, who lost his left leg due to medical complications.

Jenkins, who died an unemployed father-of-three at 50, was one of the ‘informants’ referred to as “F-unknown” in the indictment against the SPLC. The UKA is believed to continue with a new leader.

He was seemingly happy to take the nonprofit’s money while revitalizing the UKA, a once-defunct Alabama-based KKK splinter group, described on the SPLC’s website as a “millennial reboot of what was once a serious domestic threat.” In the 60s UKA had been responsible for many racist attacks and “the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Ala., which resulted in the deaths of four little girls in 1963.”

In a 2012 interview, Jenkins claimed he was against violence.

“We are weeding out the people who only joined the Ku Klux Klan to participate in violence. If that’s what they want, they have no place here. We are a family organization,” he told Vice.com

CIA Ran MK-ULTRA Experiments on Prisoners of War in U.S. Custody, Declassified Docs Confirm

Korean prisoners of war in the 1950s were subjected to early MK-ULTRA experiments while in American custody, according to recently declassified CIA documents which confirm these experiments for the first time.

The only reporting that previously referenced Koreans being used as guinea pigs for these experiments was journalist John Marks’s landmark 1979 book, The Search for the “Manchurian Candidate.” Using CIA documents, Marks traced the now-infamous MK-ULTRA project to its start, when it was known as Project Bluebird. In the book, Marks describes how, in October 1950, 25 unnamed North Korean POWs were chosen as the first test subjects to receive “advanced” interrogation techniques, with the overt goal of “controlling an individual to the point where he will do our bidding against his will and even against such fundamental laws of nature as self-preservation.”

While MK-ULTRA is best known for its invasive experimentation — like LSD dosing and torture — the documents confirm Korean POWs were the unwitting subjects of less splashy attempts at mind control, like being subjected to polygraph tests, with plans for other invasive testing.

The declassified documents, which the National Security Archive released between December 2024 and April 2025, are available through a special collection titled “CIA and the Behavioral Sciences: Mind Control, Drug Experiments and MK-ULTRA.” The National Security Archive website states that the collection “brings together more than 1,200 essential records on one of the most infamous and abusive programs in CIA history.”

The first reference to “Project Bluebird” in the NSA’s collection is an office memorandum from April 5, 1950. Addressed to CIA Director Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, the document lays out the project’s goals, required training, and budget, all while emphasizing that knowledge of Project Bluebird “should be restricted to the absolute minimum number of persons.”

The memo includes detailed plans for interrogation teams trained to utilize the polygraph, various drugs, and hypnotism “for personality control purposes.” These teams were to be made up of three people: a doctor (ideally a psychiatrist), a hypnotist, and a polygraph technician. The memo clarifies that while the doctor and technician would need to undergo approximately five months of training, the Inspection and Security Staff’s own department hypnotist could be made available immediately. In a later memo from February 2, 1951, there are inquiries into acquiring six “hypospray” devices: experimental instruments designed to covertly inject sedatives through the skin via “jet injection.” There’s a request to investigate modification of a “tear gas pencil” and other “devices of unestablished action,” such as the “German ‘Scheintot’ [sic] (appearance of death) pistol.”

TBI survivors turn to psychedelics for symptom relief

A new study from the University of Victoria (UVic) has identified a segment of traumatic brain injury survivors who are using psychedelics to self-medicate for cognitive, mood and somatic symptoms such as headaches. In a first-of-its-kind study, clinical psychology researchers analyzed more than 6,100 responses collected from the global psychedelic survey. Researchers found that nearly 1,200 respondents reported using psychedelics to treat or manage a physical health condition.

Of these, some 208 participants, or 3.4% of the total sample, reported using psychedelics to manage brain injury-related symptoms.

The paper, Psychedelics for the management of symptoms of traumatic brain injury: Findings from the global psychedelic survey, was published in Progress in Neuropsychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry, co-authored by UVic clinical psychology professors Jill Robinson and Mauricio Garcia-Barrera.

Some 60 million people worldwide experience traumatic brain injuries (TBI) every year. Garcia-Barrera says there isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment for TBI survivors, and he says some are looking for alternative support, including from psychedelics.

“Although research into using psychedelics to manage TBI symptoms remains quite limited, the field is gaining momentum as awareness grows around how widespread brain injury is globally and its impact on the quality of life of those who experience a TBI,” Garcia-Barrera says.

Sickening new claims about men being gang raped and women killed in ‘sex games’ at Epstein’s Zorro ranch come to light in new documentary

Sickening new claims about men being gang raped and women killed in ‘sex games’ at Jeffrey Epstein‘s secluded New Mexico ranch have emerged in a new documentary.

A 60 Minutes Australia interview with Epstein survivors and investigators has unveiled some of the alleged abuse that occurred at the pedophile financier’s sprawling Zorro Ranch in Stanley, about 30 miles south of Santa Fe.

The FBI received a tip from a Zorro Ranch staffer in 2019 claiming two foreign girls had been buried on the estate, Democrat congresswoman Melanie Stansbury said.

The pair had ‘died by strangulation during rough, fetish sex,’ the tip stated, adding that their alleged burial was ordered by Epstein. 

Stansbury, who has reviewed the Epstein files and is leading the charge for justice, further claimed that men were drugged and raped at the ranch.

It is not the first time the lawmaker has alleged that men or young boys were being assaulted and trafficked by Epstein.

‘A man actually claims that he met Jeffrey Epstein, was brought to the ranch, he was drugged and he describes in detail a scene in which multiple young men were raped at the ranch in front of him after he was drugged,’ Stansbury told the documentary.

She added that Jeffrey Epstein was a ‘serial abuser’ and a ‘super predator.’

Chauntae Davies, who says she was abused across multiple Epstein properties from 2001 to 2005, told the documentary that Zorro Ranch was the ‘scariest’ of all.

She recalled how she would sit in her bedroom at the property like a ‘mouse in a trap’ as she waited for someone to knock on her door and say: ‘Jeffrey is ready for his massage now.’

‘Mad Men’ Star January Jones Accuses Trump of ‘Staging’ WHCD Assassination Attempt

Cole Allen, the 31-year-old Kamala Harris donor who attended a “No Kings” rally and wrote in a manifesto about targeting Trump administration officials, was charged Monday with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump. Mad Men actress January Jones, however, said it was all a staged political production.

“Do you have a boring dinner party coming up, and lots of losers and fake friends have rsvp’d? Are you looking for help staging a small scale low risk assassination attempt to get out of it? Look no further, the US Government is your man, call us now at 1-800-wehate-americans,” the actress said in an Instagram Stories post over the weekend.

Jones, of course, isn’t the only Hollywood elite spewing conspiracies about Saturday night shooting.

Actress Mia Farrow took to the left-wing echo chamber Bluesky and promoted the conspiracy that Allen’s attack may have been part of an effort by President Trump to “raise his approval ratings.”

“He is forcing us to wonder ‘he has lost a war he is unable to end & is now so desperate to raise his approval ratings, would he …..’ ?” Mia Farrow posted to the social media platform on Sunday morning, linking to an Economist article. Farrow includes quotes in her missive that don’t come from the article she links to.

Neither Farrow nor Jones added specificity about how exactly Allen was part of a Trump administration-backed conspiracy or when he was brought in to, as Jones says, stage Saturday’s attack. Allen did apologize to his family, friends, students, and other loved ones before he travel to Washington, D.C., and initiated his weeks-long plan of attack.

US and Israel Claimed to Be Fighting for Iranian Minorities — While Bombing Them

Iranians of all stripes have been affected by the U.S.-Israeli war on their country, and the civilian cost of the conflict has yet to be fully understood. The United Nations Development Programme has raised the alarm about the “development in reverse” pushing more than 32 million people back into poverty globally, and economists have warned that 10 to 12 million Iranians, representing nearly half of the country’s workforce, are now on the brink of unemployment.

But the effect of the U.S.-Israeli aggression on Iran’s religious minorities has received comparatively little attention. Beset by years of neglect and underrepresentation at home, faith groups are now coming to grips with the cruelty of war and the devastation it has inflicted on their vulnerable institutions and houses of worship.

In Tehran, U.S.-Israeli airstrikes damaged two major churches, St. Nicholas Orthodox Church and the Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Mary, drawing condemnation from Tehran’s Christian communities. Although there have not been many updates on the status of the Church of Saint Mary, St. Nicholas Church, which is a major Russian cultural site in Iran, was reportedly closed on Easter due to the extent of the damages.

One day before the U.S.-Iran ceasefire went into effect on April 8, a 68-year-old synagogue in the Iranian capital was damaged in airstrikes for which the Israeli military claimed responsibility. The Israeli military said it was trying to target a military commander living nearby and regretted the destruction, which it referred to as “collateral damage.”

The attack put further strain on Iranian Jews as they navigate the challenges of a war waged by the United States and Israel under the pretenses of bringing liberation to the country. Iranian Jewish politicians and community leaders have been vocal in criticizing the attacks targeting houses of worship and civilian sites.

New Emails Reveal Pentagon Effort to Align Messaging on AATIP and Luis Elizondo

A newly released series of Pentagon emails from May 2019 reveals an internal contradiction at the center of the Department of Defense’s narrative on the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) and Luis Elizondo.

At the center of the records is a May 7, 2019, email from senior Pentagon official Neill Tipton, former Director of Defense Intelligence for Collection and Special Programs, which states in clear terms that Elizondo “had no assigned responsibilities” related to AATIP during his time under Tipton within the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD).

Yet the same batch of emails, along with previously released records published by The Black Vault as released via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), shows Tipton was directly communicating with Elizondo about AATIP, reviewing a memo to assume responsibilities tied to it, and participating in internal discussions about how the Department should respond to inquiries on the subject.
