‘Extremist’ children aren’t Prevent’s biggest problem

This week Rachel de Souza, the Children’s Commissioner, has said she fears young people are becoming “intoxicated with extremism” via social media. Under-18s, she argues in a report on children being referred to Prevent, are increasingly fascinated by violence, gore and cruelty in a non-ideological context, thereby failing the threshold for potentially life-saving interventions. Much of de Souza’s previous work centers on the Southport disturbances, prompted by the murders committed by Axel Rudakubana two years ago. Now she’s added her voice to those demanding both changes to Prevent and stronger internet regulation.

From Jihadism to Lethal Foreign Interference: Canada’s Threats Have Multiplied Since 9/11

OTTAWA — Twenty-five years ago, many of us witnessed an event that changed the world — and us — irrevocably. To label anything “world-changing” is fraught with danger. What exactly changed? Were these changes truly global in nature? Why does an occurrence in one country — the United States — qualify as such?

Prevent is not giving an accurate picture of UK terror threat

There have never been so many referrals to Prevent, the Government’s counter-radicalization program. According to Home Office figures published this week, there were 10,293 referrals in the year to September 2025, up 39% on the previous year. Extremism, it seems, is surging. There is just one problem with that neat conclusion: referrals are not diagnoses. They are concerns passed on to the system.

Leftist Lawmakers Attempt to Blame Online ‘Hate‘ for Widdecombe Killing

Left-wing British politicians have already begun to seize upon the killing of Brexit hero Ann Widdecombe to push for more censorship on social media to combat “hate”, despite police having made no public indication that the suspected killer was radicalised online.

The political, media, and law enforcement establishments were quick to condemn British citizens for “speculation” over the potential motives behind the killing of former Conservative government minister and Brexit Party Member of European Parliament Ann Widdecombe, while accusing her long-time allies, like Nigel Farage, of seeking to exploit her death for political purposes.

Counter terrorism police take over investigation into Ann Widdecombe’s death

Counter terrorism police are now leading the investigation into the death of Ann Widdecombe, after “new information and evidence”, officers have said.

A 28-year-old white British man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was originally arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday but has now been re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.

“We are pursuing multiple lines of enquiry to establish the motivation for this attack,” head of National Counter Terrorism Policing, Laurence Taylor, said.

Only yesterday the UK Police were assuring us that she had committed an act of racial violence against herself.

Shooters-for-hire network in Toronto shows a new front in the fight against terror financing

Toronto’s police chief recently described a pattern that should unsettle anyone who saw the recent shootings at synagogues, Jewish schools and the U.S. consulate as unrelated hate crimes. Police say a network of criminals-for-hire has been linked to 27 firearm discharges across the city – recruiting young adults online, paying them to fire on the exterior of a chosen building, and requiring a video of the act before any money is released.

‘We Have Only To Be Lucky Once’

On October 12, 1984, members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA), the once infamous “Provos,” attempted to decapitate the British government. The PIRA knew that the 1984 Conservative Party Conference at the Grand Hotel in Brighton provided a predictable opportunity to strike at Prime Minister Thatcher, the members of her Cabinet, and many of the other Conservative parliamentary leaders.

Canada’s Criminal-National Security Crisis Has Claimed a Police Officer, As Lethal Threats Multiply

The death of Toronto Police Constable Marc Pinizzotto should not be viewed solely as another tragic line-of-duty death. It should be understood as a warning that Canada has become dangerously vulnerable to the convergence of transnational organized crime, foreign state actors, money-laundering networks, and domestic criminal enterprises.

Far-Left arson attack suspected in power outage in western German city

Arson is suspected as the cause of a large-scale power outage that hit the western German city of Reutlingen on Monday, according to a spokesman for grid operator Netze BW.

Three fire sites were found at a substation, while the fence and grounds in front of the facility had been damaged, the spokesman said.

… The incident is reminiscent of suspected far-left arson attacks in Berlin last year and at the start of 2026 that left thousands of households without electricity for days on end.

‘Disposable’ operatives for hire are a new menace for western countries

When on Friday a 32-year-old Iraqi was brought before a court in New York to be charged with planning to attack Jewish community sites in the US, a curtain was suddenly lifted on a corner of a shadowy world.

The detention of Mohammed Saad Baqer al-Saadi in Turkey last week revealed rare details of Iran’s efforts to use terrorism to sow discord among communities in Europe, the UK and the US – but also the outlines of an uncertain and threatening future.

Al-Saadi is a senior commander of the Baghdad-based Kataib Hezbollah, a powerful militia with close links to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He is accused of being connected to 18 separate attacks including firebombings of synagogues and community centres in Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. Among them also is the stabbing in Golders Green, which left two Jewish men badly injured last month.

US says migration has made Europe an ‘incubator’ for terrorism in new counter-terrorism strategy

The Trump administration has accused Europe of being an “incubator” for terrorism fuelled by mass migration, in a new counter-terrorism strategy unveiled on Wednesday.

The strategy also focuses on rooting out “violent left-wing extremists” including “radically pro-transgender” groups, as Trump’s conservative administration steps up its political attacks on opponents.

It also further places drug cartels in the Americas at the centre of counter-terrorism efforts.

Suspicious transactions at GTA crypto shops reveal alleged links to Iran-backed terror groups. Is the regulator doing enough to police them?

In a row of small Yonge Street storefronts, Million Exchange angles for a corner of a booming market.

“Instant buying and selling of digital currencies,” it promises on its website, though the shop is not in the federal registry of authorized crypto businesses. Registration is a requirement meant to deter money laundering and terrorist financing.

Over the last year and a half, more than $200 million worth of digital currencies has moved through a virtual wallet used by Million Exchange.

ICE Arrests Foreign Terrorists Living in US

The Department of Homeland Security in the past year has arrested multiple illegal aliens it says have known ties to terrorist organizations, including ISIS and al-Qaeda.

According to the agency, the illegal aliens include members of al-Qaeda, ISIS, the Islamic Republic Guard Corps of Iran, and MS-13, which President Donald Trump designated a foreign terrorist organization when he returned to office.

“Just a year ago, under [President] Joe Biden, our border was wide open, and criminals, gang members, and terrorists were released into our communities,” Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary, stated.
