Northern Ireland Celebrates Diversity
In its article, "Belfast stabbing victim lost eye during attempted beheading as Sudanese suspect is ID’d," the New York Post reports:
The man who was repeatedly stabbed in a sickening, caught-on-camera attack that sparked riots in Northern Ireland lost his left eye in the near-beheading – as the Sudanese suspect was identified for the first time as he appeared in court Wednesday.
Stephen Ogilvie, thought to be 44, suffered injuries to both eyes after Sudanese migrant Hadi Alodid, 30, allegedly tried to behead him late Monday night, the Sun reported.
Barbaric video footage showed Ogilvie being pinned under the knifeman — with a horrified witness heard crying, “He’s trying to cut his head off. He’s slicing his head off.”
In a sign that the public is getting fed up with diversity and cultural enrichment, "[t]he stabbing sparked anti-immigration protests, which developed into riots across Northern Ireland Tuesday night – with masked yobs hurling petrol bombs at cops and setting homes and cars alight." "Demonstrations were also reported in cities across Scotland and England, including in the city of Southampton – which saw protests following the death of 18-year-old student Henry Nowak," the article continues.
As Paul Joseph Watson relates in the video below, the problem--according to government leaders--isn't that Ogilvie nearly lost his head to a depraved immigrant, or even the extreme disproportionate violent crime committed by migrants, but that people are sharing videos of the attack or connecting it to immigration.

People Still Donating To Karmelo Anthony
From the New York Post: "Online donations to Karmelo Anthony’s official fund continue to stream in even after murder conviction." From the article:
Donations continue to pour for Karmelo Anthony, surpassing $627,000 online shortly after a Texas jury convicted the teenager of first-degree murder Tuesday.
Dozens of donors contributed to a fundraiser after Anthony, 19, was found guilty Tuesday afternoon.
The campaign, which has goal of $1.39 million, continues to rake in money as the controversial trial touched racial lines — and sparked protests of system racism by Anthony supporters following the verdict.
These are from the anti-racist folks who believe there should be no consequences for a black man killing a white youth. The article continues:
Anthony, who is black, was sentenced to 35 years in prison on Monday for the fatal April 2, 2025 stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, who is white, at a track meet in Frisco.
The six-figure haul will pay for relocating the Anthony family, basic living costs, and essential security measures, according to organizers.
And, for good measure, Anthony's family made this disclosure: “While legal defense is a critical part of this journey, we want to make it clear that this fund is not solely dedicated to legal expenses.”

Dem Political Worker Savagely Beats 98 Year Old Man After He Catches Her Trespassing
From the New York Post: "98-year-old beaten with broomstick, chair in NYC by woman campaigning for Dem: cops." As you may know, most apartment buildings in New York have locked doors at the entry way and/or doorman to keep out strangers. In this particular case, per the article, Tashara Abel saw an entry door that had been propped open and went inside to start stuffing mailboxes in the lobby of the building. The unidentified victim--the building caretaker--had propped the door open when he went out to a garage, returned and found Abel trespassing. He asked what she was doing and demanded that she leave. That apparently so enraged her that she beat him with a stick and a metal chair, then fled the scene. The article states that Abel has been charged with three counts of assault, burglary and criminal possession of a weapon.

Some Articles On The Karmelo Anthony Murder Trial
- "Eyewitness: Karmelo Anthony Was Asked to Leave Opposing Team’s Tent ‘15 Times’ Before Fatal Stabbing"--Breitbart.
The witness claims that Memorial students began telling Anthony that his presence under their tent was inappropriate.
“You probably shouldn’t be here, you need to leave our tent,” the 17-year-old claims his teammates began saying to Anthony.
The youth, whose identity is protected due to his age, says that Metcalf and other Memorial athletes told Anthony to leave around 15 times.
“Touch me and find out,” Anthony allegedly replied.
The teen then claims the arguing persisted for roughly two minutes, culminating with Metcalf giving Anthony a “minor push.” During this time, according to the witness, Anthony had his hands in his bag, which was on his lap. However, the student-athletes assumed Anthony was bluffing.
After the “minor push,” the witness claims Anthony stabbed Metcalf.
Anthony then dropped the knife and ran out of the tent and down the stadium steps to the track.
- "Karmelo Anthony jurors gasp in horror as they're shown never-before-seen photo from brutal stabbing"--Daily Mail.
Jury members gasped in horror after being shown never-before-seen photos of Austin Metcalf's heart as Karmelo Anthony's trial continued.
Metcalf, 17, was stabbed once in the chest. The knife pierced through his bone in the center of his chest and punctured the right side of his heart, a medical examiner testified on Saturday.
Jurors were shown a photo of the 'gapping' two-inch stab wound that 'completely went through the heart wall.'
- "Karmelo Anthony ‘provoked’ Austin Metcalf before fatal stabbing — self-defense claim shot down in bombshell testimony"--New York Post.
Anthony allegedly antagonized Metcalf during the fatal April 2025 confrontation at David Kuykendall Stadium, multiple teen witnesses told the Collin County, Texas courtroom.
They recalled Anthony keeping his hands hidden in his backpack until Metcalf shoved his shoulders to try to get Anthony out of their tent – then described the alleged killer pulling out a knife and stabbing the victim.
Also:
A 16-year-old student athlete, who knew Metcalf since middle school, painted a vivid picture of the moments leading up to the bloodshed.
He said he was sitting under the tent with Metcalf and his other teammates when Anthony waltzed over and took a seat next to him on the bench.
“Crazy weather, huh?” Anthony bizarrely asked, according to the witness.
The Memorial team was instantly confused and told Anthony, a stranger, to leave – but he allegedly refused and became aggressive, the witness claimed.
“F–k y’all,” Anthony allegedly started saying, the student said, according to Fox 4. Anthony wasn’t yelling, he said under cross-examination.
“F–k y’all. I’m not going to leave. Y’all are a bunch of p–sies. Y’all not going to do anything.
“Touch me and see what happens.”
“I’m not going to fight you,” Metcalf allegedly replied.

Karmelo Anthony Trial--Witness Say He Had Knife Already Out And Ready
The Daily Mail has some summary of some witness testimony to the murder of Austin Metcalf by Karmelo Anthony. Anthony's defense has rested on his claim that he stabbed Metcalf in self-defense after Metcalf shoved him. However, witness testimony was that Anthony was attempting to provoke Metcalf who initially said he didn't want to fight Anthony; and that Anthony already had the knife out before Metcalf finally went to shove him.

The Manhattan Institute Wants To Hand The Left New Tools To Punish The Right
As gun owners, we are aware of the propensity of the political class to pass unnecessary gun laws to combat "gun violence" even though there are already laws on the books that could be used if only they were enforced. Of course, the new laws are not really intended to combat crime, but to further restrict the rights of lawful gun owners.
Well, the same may soon occur to laws regarding protests. Wired reports that "The Manhattan Institute Helped Kill DEI. Now It’s Coming for Protests." The article explains:
“Today’s left-wing agitators deploy random acts of lawlessness designed to inconvenience and disrupt as many civilians as possible, hoping to pressure them to get the government to change course. This tactic is reasonably described as a form of terrorism, though the activists aren’t murderous like al-Qaida or Hamas—they don’t use guns, bombs, or threats of unpredictable bloodshed. Instead, they engage in civil terrorism,” wrote Manhattan Institute legal policy fellow Tal Fortgang, a recent New York University law graduate who lambasted students protesting against Israel’s war on Gaza for “Jew hatred.”
Fortgang, who’s spent his career at right-wing think tanks, appears to be the main proponent of the “civil terrorism” theory, beginning with a February 2025 Wall Street Journal op-ed that argued acts of nonviolent disobedience like blocking a road was something far more sinister. More recently, he authored a piece in City Journal, the Manhattan Institute’s in-house magazine, targeting the Answer anti-war protest network’s “central role in organizing an act of civil terrorism and its advocacy on behalf of Venezuela, Iran, and China [which] are reason enough to believe that its actions may be unlawful under statutes like FARA,” the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
In response to WIRED’s questions, Fortgang claims that he focuses on anti-war, pro-Palestinian, and Black Lives Matter activists in his writings justifying the novel “civil terrorism” theory “because they constitute the overwhelming majority of groups engaged in this behavior.” Asked why states should step up protest-related crimes from misdemeanors to felonies, he wrote: “When hundreds of people gather to commit disorderly conduct together, we are dealing with something completely different. That is what I call civil terrorism: mass commission of minor crimes to intimidate or coerce a population into adopting certain policies.”
Utah has already passed legislation similar to what Fortgang wants to see adopted across the country, while Arizona's legislature is apparently considering it as well.
I have three issues with this:
- First, we don't need new laws to deal with the issues of which Fortgang wants to address because there were already laws that could have been applied if the political class had wanted. For instance, declaring a riot or an unlawful assembly and sending in the police or requesting that their state leadership call in the national guard. Moreover, if the political class was unwilling to use the tools already at their disposal to stop the BLM riots and street takeovers because they agreed with the aims of the protestors, why would you expect the same people to use these new laws.
- Second, these laws will just hand a new tool to our political opponents to potentially use against us. Because some day it may need to be conservatives out on the street protesting. Just look at the recent protests in England over the death of Henry Nowak while in police custody as he bled to death from multiple stab wounds as the police mocked him and bantered with Nowak's murderer. It is that type of protest that these types of laws would be focused on.
- Third, I generally object to the trend of over criminalizing activities. It is why you read of parents being charged with crimes for letting their kids play outside or walk to a local grocery store. It is nanny statism at its worse.

Tribalism And The Justice System
We all know that there is a risk that jurors will decide cases on ethnic lines. For instance, back in 2020, Carrie Bess, who had served as a juror on the O.J. Simpson murder trial, admitted that the not-guilty verdict was payback for the LAPD beating Rodney King. Of course, that explanation is suspect because there was no connection between Simpson's dead wife and King. Rather, the more likely explanation was simply that the jurors did not believe Simpson--a successful black man--should be punished for killing a white woman. But at least in that case, there were serious mistakes made by the police investigators and prosecutors that a biased jury could use to justify their vote.
This bias will probably be cropping up again in the murder trial of Karmelo Anthony for his stabbing Austin Metcalf to death. If you don't remember the case, it occurred at a football game. Anthony, who is black, decided to sit under a shelter set up for a different school's players. Metcalf, who was white, tried to get Anthony to leave. But you don't want to make the black kids angry! Anthony stabbed Metcalf to death and then claimed that it was self defense.
The New York Post has interviewed a legal expert, Randy Zelin, about the case and likely outcome. Of course, if the jury follows the law, Anthony will be found guilty of murder because he illegally and without justification used lethal force against someone who, at most, put hands on him to escort him from a place he had no right to be. Moreover, it appears from the evidence that Anthony intended to stab anyone that interfered with him. But Zelin adds this caveat:
But Anthony has one ace in the hole, Zelin added: his race.
Anthony’s defense has tried to cast Metcalf as a white bully flagrantly assaulting a black victim, with the murder charge the product of a racist justice system.
This might seem outlandish, but keep in mind that Anthony raised $600,000 from people that obviously believed black teens shouldn't be held responsible for murdering white kids.

Burying The Lede While Paris Burns
There hasn't been much attention in the U.S. media over the riots in Paris following a win in a major soccer match. Gateway Pundit provides some coverage of the chaos in its article, "Paris Burns: PSG Champions League Victory Sparks Second Straight Year of Riots, Looting, and Arson." But you have to get close to the bottom of the article before you come across a hint of why the rioting and looting is so much worse over the last several years:
The disturbances have reignited a broader national debate over mass migration, demographic shifts, public order, law enforcement, and the limits of existing policies. Many voters increasingly question why such scenes continue to repeat themselves year after year.
These scenes repeat year after year because France has imported so much of the third world while simultaneously taking a laissez faire attitude toward their acting out.
Ruminating about the riots, the host of the Richard the Fourth YouTube channels wonders if Europe needs a strongman (presumably Oswald Spengler's Caesar figure) to save it. He uses Ecuador and its mass incarceration of criminals as an example of what must be done to control the criminal elements.

More On The Police Assisted Murder Of Henry Nowak
Nowak, as you may remember, was a British youth stabbed repeatedly by a non-British thug, Vickrum Digwa, then handcuffed and left to drown in his own blood by the British police. Spiked has more about this case and the cause of Nowak's death in its article: "Henry Nowak and the savagery of state wokeness." Digwa has been found guilty of murder; his mother, who removed the murder weapon from the scene and hid it, has been found guilty of "assisting an offender."
As savage as the knifing was, it was what happened next that has shaken Britain’s soul. Digwa’s mother arrived and spirited away the murder weapon – it was later found hidden in the family home with 20 other Sikh swords and knives. Digwa then accused Nowak of having racially abused him. He said Nowak used a racist slur against him, punched him and knocked off his turban. These were ‘wicked lies’, the court heard during his murder trial. Yet there was a group of people on the scene of this atrocity who believed Digwa’s vile libels against the youth he had just fatally lacerated: the police.
The author goes on to explain why the police believed Digwa and let Nowak die.
We all know why Digwa’s evil lie was believed and why wounded, gasping Henry’s pleas for help went unheeded – it’s because the word ‘racism’ acts like a magic spell on our ruling class. It’s like a rhetorical narcotic. The minute they hear it, they morph, like woke Manchurian candidates, into wide-eyed searchers for the merest hint of that greatest sin in our morally deracinated times: white privilege, and prejudicial speech. Their aim becomes not the discovery of truth but the demonstration of virtue. On that street in Southampton, once the word ‘racism’ had been uttered, the role of the state’s representatives suddenly and radically changed: it was no longer to investigate a potential crime but to obsequiously act out a moral script.
Having prostrated themselves so fully before the new regime religion that falsely calls itself ‘anti-racism’, the police were virtually programmed to believe the ‘brown man’ and be sceptical of the ‘white man’. No doubt the critical race theory that pumps like a toxin in the veins of the establishment kicked in, meaning that the Sikh who had so ruthlessly wielded his sword instantly became the victim, while the target of his red-mist knifing – the white boy – became the oppressor. The state’s intoxication with the hyper-racialised politics of victimhood has driven it ever further into a quagmire of dogma where cool moral judgment is all but impossible.

Advice On What To Say (And Not Say) When You've Shot An Intruder
If you take nothing else from this video, it should be that you cannot just say nothing to invoke your 5th Amendment rights, but you have to specifically state that you are invoking your right to stay silent.

Signs You Are In A Collapsing Society
The LA Department of Water and Power made the request in a letter sent to the City Council, pointing out that the Port of Los Angeles and Los Angeles airports have their own police authorities.
The agency already employs security guards, but “they lack the authority to detain or arrest suspects, intervene in crimes in progress, conduct searches, or carry firearms for enforcement purposes,” the letter said.
The department currently depends on local law enforcement to respond speedily, but that’s unreliable in remote locations where there is critical infrastructure, it added.
If such an armed force was granted, the department expects to add 20 to 50 officers, who would have the authority to carry a firearm, make arrests and investigate thefts, in addition to handling jobs like dispatch and crime analysis.
The article indicates that wire theft alone costs the city $20 million per year, while setting up such a police force would cost $9 million with an additional $6 million per year operating budget.
Of course the problem is not limited to just Los Angeles as this 2024 article from Wired makes clear: "The Green Economy Is Hungry for Copper—and People Are Stealing, Fighting, and Dying to Feed It." The article begins by recounting an attack on South African utility employees by a gang armed with automatic weapons, adding:
In most places, power companies are a pretty dull business. But in South Africa they are under a literal assault, targeted by heavily armed gangs that have crippled the nation’s energy infrastructure and claimed an ever-growing number of lives. Practically every day, homes across the country are plunged into darkness, train lines shut down, water supplies cut off, and hospitals forced to close, all because thieves are targeting the material that carries electricity: copper.
The battle cry of energy transition advocates is “Electrify everything.” Meaning: Let’s power cars, heating systems, industrial plants, and every other type of machine with electricity rather than fossil fuels. To do that, we need copper—and lots of it. Second to silver, a rarer and far more expensive metal, copper is the best natural electrical conductor on Earth. We need it for solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicles. (A typical EV contains as much as 175 pounds of copper.) We need it for the giant batteries that will provide power when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. We need it to massively expand and upgrade the countless miles of power cables that undergird the energy grid in practically every country. In the United States, the capacity of the electric grid will have to grow as much as threefold to meet the expected demand.
A recent report from S&P Global predicts that the amount of copper we’ll need over the next 25 years will add up to more than the human race has consumed in its entire history. “The world has never produced anywhere close to this much copper in such a short time frame,” the report notes. The world might not be up to the challenge. Analysts predict supplies will fall short by millions of tons in the coming years. No wonder Goldman Sachs has declared “no decarbonization without copper” and called copper “the new oil.”
As the energy transition gathers speed, the value of copper has also soared. In the past four years, the price of a ton of copper has shot from about $6,400 to more than $9,000. That, in turn, has made electrical wiring, equipment, and even raw metal fresh from the mines into juicy targets for thieves. All around the world, hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of the metal has been stolen—and countless lives have been lost. With the possible exception of gold, no other metal has caused so much death and destruction.
After describing expanding copper production in Africa and environmental impacts of a huge open pit copper mine in Chile, the article returns to copper theft:
The treasures these mines produce are magnets for some astonishingly brazen criminals. By the light of the full moon, bandits in Toyota Tundra pickups roll up alongside trains that are hauling copper slabs from the mines high in the Atacama down to the coast. With perhaps a whispered prayer to the spirits of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the bandits leap aboard the copper cars, slice through the ropes securing the 180-pound slabs, toss them into the beds of the speeding trucks, and disappear into the night.
The problem is so acute that the Chilean national police have set up a special copper task force. But trains were still being robbed regularly when I visited Chile in 2022. And not just trains, for that matter. In January of 2023, a team of thieves hit the country’s main seaport, overpowered a handful of workers, and made off with a dozen containers full of Codelco’s copper—more than $4 million worth.
No one knows exactly how much copper is stolen every year across the world. Thieves typically sell their wares to no-questions-asked scrapyards and recyclers, who strip off cable coatings and other nonmetallic materials and then shred or melt down the copper. Anyone can do it: The metal can be melted with blowtorches or small furnaces you can buy on Amazon. There are plenty of online videos that can walk you through the process. Once rendered into generic form, stolen copper can be mixed with legally obtained metal. At that point it’s easy to sell into the regular market, its origin essentially impossible to trace.
It’s safe to say, however, that the amount stolen each year is many, many millions of dollars’ worth—possibly billions. In one particularly audacious theft in 2023, nearly $200 million worth of copper and other metals was lifted from Aurubis, Europe’s largest producer. The biggest heists, at least in the US, are often inside jobs. In 2013, police shut down a ring that had ripped off as much as $80 million worth of copper ingots from an Arizona mine. Prosecutors said that workers in on the scheme would open the gates for trucks driven by their confederates, who loaded them up with raw copper and drove right back out. The metal was sold to recyclers in California, who blackened it to make it look like scrap and then shipped it to China. Unraveling the plot took nerve. At one point, a company rep from the mine found a severed goat’s head nailed to his door.
Most American copper thieves, however, are small-time opportunists drawn to a laughably easy score. So much copper is just left out in the open. It doesn’t take much skill or daring to tear out wiring in an abandoned building, break open an air conditioner sitting behind an apartment block, or snatch a manhole cover on a quiet suburban street. Thousands of copper thefts are reported each year. The booty includes fire hydrants, a 3,000-ton bell, a bust of Orville Wright, and at least one urn containing human ashes.
The cost of fixing the damage often far exceeds the value of the stolen metal. Ripped-out cables have shut down drinking water supplies in Hawaii, streetlights in Missouri, airport runway lights in Washington, and whole subway lines in New York City. The US Department of Energy has estimated that copper theft causes $1 billion worth of damage every year to facilities and businesses considered critical infrastructure.
Then there’s the shocking number of lives lost. Again, no one knows the exact numbers, but just from scanning through 10 years or so of local news articles I found dozens of reports of Americans who were fatally electrocuted while trying to steal live copper wire. And at least one security guard who was murdered trying to stop one of those thefts.
In South Africa, though, widespread poverty, ineffective police, and soaring metal prices have turned copper theft into a major industry. Mines are rich targets, even those that don’t extract copper. Their subterranean networks of shafts and tunnels need power to run lights and digging equipment. That power, of course, is carried by miles of electric cable, conveniently left unguarded and out of sight. On any given day, hundreds of desperate people are risking their lives to get that metal.
They’re known as zama zamas—roughly meaning “take a chance” in Zulu. These illegal miners clamber down mine shafts on ropes or handmade ladders, then make their way into the tunnels. There, they set up underground camps. Hundreds of zama zamas may be living underground at any given time, some spending weeks or even months down in the tunnels.
It’s an astonishingly common and deeply disruptive crime. A single mining company, Implats, reported around 800 incidents of cable theft in 2021. Stolen cables have forced companies to shut down mines for weeks at a time.
It’s also a phenomenally dangerous way to earn a living. Illegal miners have died by the dozens in gas explosions, floods caused by heavy rains, and other accidents. In 2021, a mining company sealed off a ventilation shaft that a group of zama zamas was using to supply their compatriots underground. Desperate, the miners blew open the hole with explosives. Police and private security guards wound up in a pitched battle with the escaping zama zamas. At least eight people were killed.
Above ground, gangs have hijacked dozens of trucks carrying copper to South Africa’s ports, making off with millions of dollars’ worth of metal. Meanwhile, the electric grid is being plundered so often and so thoroughly that the whole country is affected. In 2021, the railway company Transnet reported that more than 1,000 kilometers of overhead power cables had been stolen. A recent report from the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime notes that “while two security guards may have proved a deterrent in the past,” gangs “now come in groups of 20 or 30 and are often heavily armed, with ‘spotters’ shooting at patrol vehicles.” Cell phone towers, water pipelines, and electric power stations are similarly under assault. Thieves disguise themselves as workers dispatched to tear up underground cables, or bribe actual power company employees, or just show up brandishing guns and use four-wheel-drive trucks to rip cables out of the ground.
Ordinary South Africans pay a heavy price. Children have died falling into manholes after their covers were stolen. In addition to disrupted train lines and power, water, and phone service outages, a Johannesburg hospital was kept closed after someone stole its copper pipes, cables, and electrical equipment. Police believe rivalry between gangs involved in stealing cables spurred two mass shootings that left 21 people dead in the Johannesburg area in 2022. And a number of security guards trying to protect some company’s copper have also been wounded or killed—like Moqadi Mokoena, the Johannesburg guard shot to death in his truck.
The wave of copper theft has sparked a backlash of vigilante violence in some impoverished townships. Suspected thieves have been assaulted, beaten and occasionally lynched. “This is the only language that criminals understand,” a resident of a town where an alleged cable thief was beaten to death told local media. In March of 2023, four electric company workers were killed in a Johannesburg suburb by a mob that mistook them for cable thieves.
The solution to all of this suggested by the writer is to focus on copper demand. And this means that rather than shifting from gas powered vehicles to electric vehicles, which will consume even more copper, that we build out "public transit, subsidized ebikes, and developed more walkable cities[.]"
The Wired article indicates, however, that we have exploited the largest, easiest to mine, deposits. But that may not be the case. In March of this year, the discovery of one of the world's largest deposits was discovered in Argentina. Popular Mechanics reports: "Geologists May Have Found One of the World’s Greatest Treasures. Some Say It’s Too Dangerous to Dig Up."
Located along the border of Chile and Argentina, the Filo del Sol copper deposit has been under investigation for years for potentially being one of the largest copper deposits in the world. And that makes sense, considering this treasure is nestled along the Atacama Desert—long known for its immense copper reserves due to its location in the Andes and its placement within the eastern portion of the Ring of Fire.
However, an initial mineral resource estimate completed in 2025 suggests that the companies in charge of mining this area—the U.S.-based Lundin Mining and BHP—may have stumbled upon five times more metal than they bargained for.
According to a statement from Lundin Mining, the assessment estimates the presence of up to 13 million tonnes of copper, 907,000 kilograms (32 million ounces) of gold, and 18.6 million kilograms (659 million ounces) of silver. This update, gathered from data collected from 400 additional exploration holes, came from the discovery that deeper mineralization of copper far exceeded the estimates that were closer to the surface. According to AFP, Filo del Sol could prove to be richer still, as experts dig deeper and explore the resource’s northern and southern boundaries.
It is the altitude at which the deposits sit that make it potentially dangerous to mine.
And last year, Newser reported on a new copper mine in Arizona expected to come online in late 2028.
So not all is doom and gloom.

Canada Experiences Cultural Enrichment From Its Indian Immigrants
From The Bureau: "Foreign Gun Squads Rock Toronto Suburbs: 17 Arrests in Peel Expose Canada's Diaspora Extortion Pipeline, From Student Visas to Shootings-for-Hire." The article reports:
Peel Regional Police have arrested 17 men tied to an international criminal network known as For Brothers, targeting what investigators describe as a coordinated campaign of intimidation, threats, and escalating violence aimed at South Asian business owners across Canada and the United States — in what police called one of the largest extortion cases the region has ever seen, and the latest enforcement strike against a crisis that The Bureau‘s investigations have traced to the wholesale exploitation of Canada’s immigration and international-education systems.
The network operated mainly out of Brampton, Caledon, and Mississauga, touching Surrey, British Columbia, with ties extending well beyond Ontario into India and California.
At a news conference Monday, Peel Regional Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah said the investigation was international in scope. “This investigation is far beyond Peel; it has ties to British Columbia, as well as the United States and India,” he said, noting that one of the accused has been linked to an attempted homicide in India. The violence, he reiterated, was deliberate: “(Victims) were specifically targeted and escalated over time.”
In all, the 17 accused are connected to 24 incidents. Investigators linked 16 of those — including arson and multiple shootings — to For Brothers, accounting for 324 rounds discharged. Deputy Chief Nick Milonovich said members of the network are believed to be responsible for roughly half of the 620 rounds fired from illegal firearms in Peel Region this year.
At Monday’s news conference, police underscored the brazenness of the campaign by sharing surveillance footage of the attacks. In one nighttime clip, set against snowbanked suburban driveways, figures move between parked vehicles firing multiple shots at a home; in another, recorded on a residential street, a person in a red hooded sweatshirt is seen with an arm extended toward a home, a flash visible in the dark.
The investigation, led by Peel Regional Police’s Extortion Task Force, began in December 2025 as a Joint Forces Operation drawing in the Ontario Provincial Police, the Canada Border Services Agency, the Surrey Police Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada. Several businesses — among them restaurants and trucking companies — were repeatedly targeted after refusing to meet extortion demands. In one incident, two of the accused are alleged to have carried out a shooting and arson at a residential address in Caledon, followed minutes later by a second shooting targeting a business in Brampton.
The network's reach extended into the drug trade.
Police seized illicit drugs alongside six firearms, cell phones, SIM cards, and fraudulent identification cards — a haul that places For Brothers within the same currents of narcotics and violence The Bureau has traced across Indian transnational smuggling networks linking Canada, the United States, and India, with alleged ties to Mexican cartel proxies in Canada. The Bureau has reported how Ryan Wedding, an alleged Canadian cartel proxy indicted in major U.S. prosecutions, exploited Indian long-haul trucking networks running out of Peel Region and across Greater Toronto to move cartel narcotics.
Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown said none of the 17 accused are Canadian citizens.
The article goes on to note that British Columbia "has become a major hub for transnational organized crime" and that "that Ottawa lost control of its borders during a massive increase in immigration under the Trudeau Liberals, and now lacks the capacity to counter rampant scams tainting sectors of the economy tied to immigration, foreign-student education, and the job placements that lead to citizenship." And we can't forget China:
It is a pattern long documented in Chinese diaspora communities, where human smugglers known as snakeheads built underground parallel economies; the same phenomenon, government sources confirm, is now proliferating across Indian communities in Canada.
And the task force charged with policing the extortion rackets is overwhelmed by the shear volume of the crime. One of the crime groups--the Lawrence Bishnoi organization--is described in the article as an "India-based mafia that a classified RCMP assessment has described as a tool of state operations for the Government of India."
Daily Skeptic: The U.K.'s Two Tier Legal System
In "When 'White Racism' Trumps Non-White Murder," Frank Haviland discusses the murder of 18 year-old Henry Nowak by a murderous Sikh named Vickrum Digwa who, despite UK knife laws, was allowed to carry a curved dagger with an 8-inch blade under a religious exemption. A weapon he apparently used to rob and stab Nowak. If Nowak had promptly received medical treatment and Digwa arrested, this would have been merely another story of a white victim of "cultural enrichment". But...
Here’s the problem for Nowak: he was white, his assailant was not. Which means Digwa was perfectly within his rights to play the race card, and did so to maximum effect.
When the police arrived at the scene, they handcuffed the collapsed victim (which must have been a relief to those concerned about where his blood was going). According to bodycam footage played in court, Nowak repeatedly told the officers that he had been stabbed and “couldn’t breathe”. They still handcuffed him. The police eventually decided to render first aid, shortly before Nowak lost consciousness. The ironic parallels with George Floyd are so obvious, I feel I need comment no further.
Digwa meanwhile, claimed he acted in “self-defence”, faced with the unspeakable violence of Nowak’s alleged “racial abuse”. Despite the four fatal stab wounds, the fact that Nowak’s phone was later discovered in Digwa’s pocket, and the revelation that Digwa’s mother was allegedly filmed removing and disposing of the knife, Digwa’s barrister shamefully instructed jurors to decide whether the murderer acted “in the heat of the moment”.
Haviland notes, however, that the attitude of the police in this case is not unique, but part of a larger pattern of POC being treated differently for violent crime:
Alas, this is not an isolated incident. It is the latest confirmation of a pattern which stretches across the pond from Britain to the United States: non-white attackers can, it seems, stab, rape or even kill white victims while hurling racial epithets – “white slags”, “white bitch”, “kill the white slag”, and still walk free or face only token consequences, because the counterclaim of ‘racism’ is treated as mitigation or even justification.
He goes on to discuss several examples from both the U.S. and the U.K., concluding with the Muslim rape gangs that freely operated, with the knowledge and tacit approval of law enforcement, for years because authorities did not want to appear racist. He also discusses the equality lie and how it shows up in how laws are selectively enforced, before concluding:
As I have long argued, the accusation of racism is the Left’s most potent weapon. It is a charge which cannot be defended, and requires no evidence to assert. Thanks to this one word, British society is already de facto two-tier. Muslim rape gangs continue to operate with impunity, because protecting white girls would be ‘racist’. Police refuse to stop and search young black men, with similar reasoning. How long before it is actually legal to stab someone white, because he was ‘racist’; because he looked ‘racist’; merely because he was white? You may laugh, but please explain the joke to Henry Nowak as I don’t think he’d get it.
No society in history would be able to delude themselves on this scale without careful indoctrination. Thankfully, our children are now being taught from the age of seven to reflect on their “white privilege”, and that non-whites “cannot be racist” to them. In other words, to accept their fate and pay the price for the lie that diversity is “our greatest strength”.
I grieve for the victims of this lie. And I wonder how comforting it is for them, as they lie dying in a pool of their own blood, to know that it was their “privilege”, not non-white “racism” wot done it.
A system is what it does, and so we should be very concerned when the system starts looking the other way when whites are killed or victimized. Because at some point, in the coming decades, those same systems might have evolved to be the ones doing the killing. You laugh, but it was the system that handcuffed Nowak and withheld medical treatment.

Colion Noir: LA Burglars No Longer Afraid
Colion Noir discusses why burglars in Los Angeles are no longer afraid of citizens or the police. They aren't afraid of civilians because the civilians have been disarmed and face real consequences should they use a weapon to defend themselves. The burglars probably won't be arrested; and if they do, will either not be charged or let off with a wrist slap. He also notes that the goal of "criminal reform" is not public safety but a disarmed and cowed public.

Austin Spree Shooter An Illegal Alien
The Battle Swarm Blog notes that the oldest of the three shooters who recently terrorized Austin--17 year old Cristian Fajardo Mondragon--is an illegal alien with an ICE detainer. "He was also on probation through the juvenile justice system at the time of his arrest and has a juvenile detainer," as well as an outstanding warrant for stealing a firearm.
I have to say that I am positively shocked as I had been assured by Democrats that immigrants committed crimes at far lower rates than Americans notwithstanding the fact that 100% of illegal immigrants are committing federal crimes.

FBI: Violent Crime Continues Decline
The New York Post reports: "FBI announces US violent crime rate plummeted by fastest rate in nearly 90 years: ‘Changes are working’." These are national statistics, so YMMV depending on where you live. For instance, I see that the usual suspects were at it again: "Three stabbed as hundreds take over Rhode Island beaches."

Muslim Trans Killer Explains Why It Killed Its Parents
From the Daily Mail: "See trans killer's calm confession after she shot both parents dead over gender transition fight." This is related to the 2024 murder of Gail and Joseph Bailey by their offspring, "Mia". It had also tried to kill its brother and his wife, but they had barricaded themselves in a bedroom and it decided to flee the scene after shooting through the door. From the article:
Nearly two years later, the new footage shows Bailey's disturbing confession as she can be seen smiling while speaking with police officers about the heinous crime.
The transgender killer freely admits she carried out the killings and callously says she 'would still do it' if given a second chance.
She goes on to describe in a matter-of-fact manner shooting both parents at close range, and claims that her mother, Gail Bailey, had tried to 'sabotage' the transition process before the murders.
Bailey, who was born male but had legally changed her name and gender before the killings, pleaded guilty to aggravated murder and aggravated assault in the June 2024 massacre.
There is a lot more from the confession at the link. As you would expect, the killer was insane. Records show that it had been diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, psychosis, possible bipolar disorder with psychosis and schizophrenia. And, to top it all off, had converted to Islam.
