Vatican urges Italy to stop proposed anti-homophobia law

The Vatican has made an unprecedented intervention urging the Italian government to change a proposed law that would criminalise homophobia over concerns it will infringe upon the Catholic church’s “freedom of thought”.

A letter delivered by the British archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, the Vatican’s secretary of relations with states, said parts of the legislation violated a treaty made between Italy and the Catholic church in the 1920s that secured the freedoms and rights of the church, Corriere della Sera reported.

I bet the Pope knows nothing.

After a Year of Violence and Madness, Portland Goes From Dumb to Desperate

Over the past year, Portland, Oregon, has descended into violent anarchy and madness. It chose this destructive path.

Its hapless trust-fund baby mayor, Ted Wheeler, let antifa thugs chase him from his posh home. (Voter tip: Don’t elect dopey trust fund kids to power. They lack even the basic life experiences the rest of us have to enable them to do much more than walk and chew gum at the same time. Seriously. Both parties. Keep them as far away from power as possible.)

Peter Daszak Removed From UN-Backed Commission Investigating COVID-19 After Admitting WIV Connections

Quisling.

Scientist Peter Daszak was removed from a United Nations-backed commission investigating the origins of COVID-19 after he revealed his connections to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

Daszak’s non-profit organization, EcoHealth Alliance, funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to WIV to fund the study of bat-based coronaviruses similar to COVID-19. Daszak also organized a February 2020 statement in a medical journal, The Lancet, that condemned “conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.” When signing the statement, he claimed that he did not have competing interests, despite his financial connections and professional relationship with WIV and its lead researcher, Shi Zhengli.

Germany’s Largest Right-Wing Extremist Group is Turkish, not German

As German federal elections approach on September 26, the candidates hoping to succeed Chancellor Angela Merkel are reiterating the need to thwart far-right extremism, particularly neo-Nazism, in Germany. In fact, the largest far-right extremist group in Germany is Turkish, not German, according to a new intelligence report on domestic threats to Germany’s constitutional order.

The Turkish neo-fascist movement Ülkücü (Turkish for “Idealists”) — popularly known as Grey Wolves — now has at least 11,000 active members in Germany, according to the new annual report (Verfassungsschutzbericht 2020) by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz, BfV).

The report by MPs on the Education Select Committee, released on Monday, has caused a stir, after it suggested that white working-class children have been left behind, partially due to potentially “divisive” terms such as “white privilege.”

Israel is worried about Ebrahim ‘the Butcher’ Raisi, Iran’s new president

In the last two days, three interesting stories have emerged from the Middle East. The first story is about Ebrahim “the Butcher” Raisi’s election as president in Iran; the second is Israel’s announcement that this election forces it to protect itself against this butcher; and the third is news that Iran’s sole nuclear power plant abruptly shut down. The first and second stories are quite obviously connected. The real question is whether the third story is a promise of things to come or is just a coincidence.
