According to reports, the United Kingdom’s Home Secretary is seeking to reinstate the prosecution of ‘non-crime hate speech,’ overturning a 2021 court ruling which described the measure as a move towards a police state in Britain.

In the United Kingdom’s escalating war on the freedom of expression, the U.K. Home Secretary is seeking to reinstate  the prosecution of “non-crime hate speech,” overturning a 2021 court ruling which described the measure as a move towards a police state in Britain.

According to an August 28 report in the U.K. Times, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper “faces a legal battle” to reinstate measures to interrogate, monitor, and even prosecute members of the public for a range of “non-criminal” remarks.

The measures were struck down in a case brought in 2021 by Harry Miller, the founder of U.K. policing campaign group Fair Cop. They are being reintroduced to “combat antisemitism and Islamophobia,” according to the U.K. Home Secretary.

Miller was visited at work by U.K. police to question him over an “anti-trans” joke he made on X (formerly Twitter). When Miller, a former policeman himself, brought a case against this “non-criminal hate speech,” the judge ruled that the effect of the police turning up at Mr. Miller’s place of work “because of his political opinions must not be underestimated.”

Mr. Justice Julian Knowles continued: “To do so would be to undervalue a cardinal democratic freedom. In this country we have never had a Cheka, a Gestapo or a Stasi. We have never lived in an Orwellian society.”

The measures advanced by the U.K. Home Secretary seek to make this “Orwellian society” a reality.

Recent changes to the U.K.’s Prevent strategy, a government operation to counter violent extremism, have seen “anti-abortion groups” bracketed with terrorists, and the inclusion of “anti-establishment sentiment” of any kind as adjacent to terrorism.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has announced the redefinition of “terrorism” to include “anti-establishment rhetoric,” “anti-LGBTQI+ sentiment,” “anti-abortion activism,” and any speech online or offline which it deems to be “extreme” – as a report from LifeSiteNews below shows.

In recent days, Sarah Wilkinson was arrested in her home under the Terrorism Act – for documenting Israel’s genocide. Richard Barnard, co-founder of Palestinian Action, has also been charged under the Terrorism Act following his arrest for doing the same.

As Kim Dotcom, himself the ongoing target of Deep State legal persecution, has remarked, this is not an issue of left or right. When the government is wrong, anyone who points this out is a target.

“Truth-tellers everywhere are under attack. As the propaganda media crumbles and people look for honest information elsewhere the deep state is abusing anti-terrorism and spy laws to intimidate and silence independent journalists,” he said.

In the U.K., this means journalists like Medhurst, and his fellow British journalist Kit Klarenberg, whose interrogation  at Luton Airport in May 2023 was the first in a new wave of repression which designates truth telling as “terrorism” – and even treason.

Klarenberg’s interrogation saw him treated as a traitor in the pay of a foreign power. His investigations have shown how the CIA and MI6 created ISIS, how the Ukraine war is being directed and escalated towards Armageddon by the British state, and crucially how U.S. and U.K. foreign policy is dictated by the Zionist lobby. His investigations exposing state-level crimes have seen him labeled a “dangerous” individual by Deep State asset Facebook, a term usually reserved for violent terrorists.

In a report from February, he showed how the new U.K. National Security Act could see journalists like him face life imprisonment. Two years ago, he revealed “the journalist-run, intelligence-linked operation that warped British pandemic policy” – exposing the U.K. government’s partnership with media to manufacture consent to COVID-19 “vaccines” and lockdowns.

For naming actual foreign influence in the West, and the industry of death which is partnered with it, independent voices are being silenced as traitors and terrorists. Yet it is Klarenberg who revealed “British spies [are] constructing a secret terror army in Ukraine” – in 2022.

Western proxy war ‘playing with fire’: Russian foreign minister

Klarenberg’s reporting on the U.K.-backed Kursk offensive by Ukraine shows how far the British liberal-global state will go in gambling the lives of millions to preserve its own waning influence.

To prevent a U.S. “drawdown” from European war commitments, he says, the British state has propelled the Ukrainians into an escalation which risks full-scale nuclear war.

According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, this policy is akin to “a child playing with matches.” In a warning to the West over the rising danger of nuclear war, Lavrov was reported by Reuters on August 27 as saying, “We are now confirming once again that playing with fire – and they are like small children playing with matches – is a very dangerous thing for grown-up uncles and aunts who are entrusted with nuclear weapons in one or another Western country.”

Lavrov’s remarks come in response to U.K.-backed Ukrainian demands for U.S. authorization to mount long range missile strikes on Russia – including on Moscow itself – using weapons supplied by NATO.

Former U.N. Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter warned in July that “the world faces a greater threat of a nuclear conflict between the U.S. and Russia than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.”

Yet people who warn of the policies promoting Armageddon are accused of treason and arrested under terrorism laws. According to one former high level U.S. official, retired Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, this chaos is allied to U.S. “imperial” war policies, which have led the U.S. international order into crisis.

The former chief of staff to the U.S. secretary of defense said in an interview given on August 29 that the U.S. empire was collapsing due to its commitment to so many “stupid wars.”

“I’m not against war. I’m against stupid war. I’m against endless war. I’m against imperial wars,” he told Judge Andrew Napolitano.

Critics of the “forever wars” in the U.S., U.K., and across the West are routinely smeared as “pro-Russian,” or even “antisemitic.”

GnasherJew are “a digital investigation team who operate under the radar, using OSINT to expose antisemites.”   

Zionists in the U.K. have been celebrating the result of their mass-reporting of independent voices against Israel’s genocide, labeling critics of Western-backed war crimes as “antisemitic violent thugs.”

Here’s one X post by “award winning journalist” David Collier:

In the U.S., figures such as John Bolton routinely decry the influence of hostile foreign powers such as Russia, China, and Iran, whilst ignoring the charge made by retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor and independent journalist Max Blumenthal that the “entire U.S. political establishment is bought and paid for by the Israel lobby,” and the “Zionist … occupation of the American mind.”

The moves by the U.K.’s liberal-globalist regime to categorize criticism of its policies as terrorism is an escalation in the war against Western civilization.

Telling the truth is treason and an act of terror. Disagreement is extremism. If you demand an alternative to the permanent state of emergency delivered by the liberal-global order, you can expect interrogation, arrest, and imprisonment in the birthplace of “liberal democracy.”

The legal persecution of the argument for life is a further indication of how regime change has changed our regime at home. It began with a promise of an earthly paradise, with the global export of the liberal system of elections and cheap consumer goods, following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Instead of heaven, it has delivered hell on earth.

As the liberal-global project unravels, all it can do now is terrorize its own populations for telling the truth about the industry of death behind the mask of the “rules-based order.”

Keir Starmer’s first speech as prime minister said “my government will be a force for good.” Two months later, the forces he has unleashed may see him rightfully dubbed “Keir Stasi.”

Nigeria, 3 other African countries are deadliest for Christians: report

Published on May 1, 2025

From LifeSiteNews

By Angeline Tan

The 2025 Global Christian Relief Red List report has found that the deadliest region for Christians is Africa, with Nigeria taking the top spot with 10,000 deaths in 2 years.

The 2025 Global Christian Relief (GCR) Red List report, which highlighted “the 25 worst countries for Christian persecution across five categories of concern” including killings, building attacks, arrests, displacements, abductions and assaults, has found that Africa, in particular Nigeria, is the most dangerous region for Christians.

Released in January, the GCR report, which relied on data from the Violent Incidents Database, a project founded by the International Institute for Religious Freedom (IIRF), summarized:

Africa remains the deadliest region for Christians, with Nigeria consistently being the most dangerous country for followers of Jesus. Between November 2022 and November 2024, nearly 10,000 Christians were killed, primarily by Islamic extremist groups such as Boko Haram, Armed Fulani Herdsmen, and the Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP). Similar patterns emerge in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Mozambique, and Ethiopia, where numerous armed militant groups target Christians.

The GCR report detailed how “most of the killings” in Nigeria happened in the country’s northern “sharia” states, where Christians “often live in remote villages in semi-arid landscapes, making them particularly vulnerable to attacks.” Notably, the same report highlighted the failure of the Nigerian government in stopping these anti-Christian attacks, stating that “despite government assurances that they will defeat the extremists, the violence continues to escalate.”

Ranking second to Nigeria as the next “deadliest country for Christians” was the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where “390 Christians were recorded as killed” during the reporting period of November 2022 to 2024. The GRC report singled out “Islamic militant groups like the Allied Democratic Forces” as the “main killers.”

Coming in third was Mozambique, with “262 recorded deaths.” The report declared that although Mozambique was “once a relatively peaceful Christian-majority country,” “a swarm of militants led by the Islamic State Mozambique (ISM)” has disrupted the peace of the country.

Strikingly, Ethiopia emerged as the fourth deadliest country for Christians, “with at least 181 Christians killed.” The GCR report detailed how “believers — particularly converts — faced high risks of violence in regions dominated by Islamic militants”.

Apart from killings, African Christians have to contend with the risk of displacements, assaults, and kidnappings.

“Despite the intense challenges in places like Nigeria, China, and India, we continue to see remarkable resilience in these communities,” Brian Orme, acting chief executive of Global Christian Relief, declared. “Even in the darkest circumstances, the Church not only survives but grows stronger — millions are choosing to follow Jesus despite knowing the risks they face.”

“Working closely with our partners on the ground in these high-risk areas, we provide emergency aid, safe houses, and trauma counseling to Christians facing violent persecution,” Orme said.

According to the report, “much of the violence occurred in Manipur, where unrest erupted in May 2024. Rioters, driven by Hindu extremists from the Meitei tribe, attacked predominantly Christian Kukis, systematically burning churches and setting fire to the homes of believers.”

Meanwhile, China led the world in arrests of Christians, with more than 1,500 believers detained under the communist government’s religious prohibitions. The report stated:

It is no surprise that China tops the 2025 GCR Red List for Arrests, given that the communist nation has the world’s most sophisticated surveillance mechanisms.

Trump’s bizarre 51st state comments and implied support for Carney were simply a ploy to blow up trilateral trade pact

Published on May 1, 2025

From LifeSiteNews

By Conservative Treehouse

Trump’s position on the Canadian election outcome had nothing to do with geopolitical friendships and everything to do with America First economics.

Note from LifeSiteNews co-founder Steve Jalsevac: This article, disturbing as it is, appears to explain Trump’s bizarre threats to Canada and irrational support for Carney. We present it as a possible explanation for why Trump’s interference in the Canadian election seems to have played a large role in the Liberals’ exploitation of the Trump threat and their ultimate, unexpected success.

To understand President Trump’s position on Canada, you have to go back to the 2016 election and President Trump’s position on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) renegotiation. If you did not follow the subsequent USMCA process, this might be the ah-ha moment you need to understand Trump’s strategy.

During the 2016 election President Trump repeatedly said he wanted to renegotiate NAFTA. Both Canada and Mexico were reluctant to open the trade agreement to revision, but ultimately President Trump had the authority and support from an election victory to do exactly that.

In order to understand the issue, you must remember President Trump, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer each agreed that NAFTA was fraught with problems and was best addressed by scrapping it and creating two separate bilateral trade agreements. One between the U.S. and Mexico, and one between the U.S. and Canada.

In the decades that preceded the 2017 push to redo the trade pact, Canada had restructured their economy to: (1) align with progressive climate change; and (2) take advantage of the NAFTA loophole. The Canadian government did not want to reengage in a new trade agreement.

Canada has deindustrialized much of their manufacturing base to support the “environmental” aspirations of their progressive politicians. Instead, Canada became an importer of component goods where companies then assembled those imports into finished products to enter the U.S. market without tariffs. Working with Chinese manufacturing companies, Canada exploited the NAFTA loophole.

Justin Trudeau was strongly against renegotiating NAFTA, and stated he and Chrystia Freeland would not support reopening the trade agreement. President Trump didn’t care about the position of Canada and was going forward. Trudeau said he would not support it. Trump focused on the first bilateral trade agreement with Mexico.

When the U.S. and Mexico had agreed to terms of the new trade deal and 80 percent of the agreement was finished, representatives from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce informed Trudeau that his position was weak and if the U.S. and Mexico inked their deal, Canada would be shut out.

When they went to talk to the Canadians the CoC was warning them about what was likely to happen. NAFTA would end, the U.S. and Mexico would have a bilateral free trade agreement (FTA), and then Trump was likely to turn to Trudeau and say NAFTA is dead, now we need to negotiate a separate deal for U.S.-Canada.

Trudeau was told a direct bilateral trade agreement between the U.S. and Canada was the worst possible scenario for the Canadian government. Canada would lose access to the NAFTA loophole and Canada’s entire economy was no longer in a position to negotiate against the size of the U.S. Trump would win every demand.

Following the warning, Trudeau went to visit Nancy Pelosi to find out if Congress was likely to ratify a new bilateral trade agreement between the U.S. and Mexico. Pelosi warned Trudeau there was enough political support for the NAFTA elimination from both parties. Yes, the bilateral trade agreement was likely to find support.

Realizing what was about to happen, Prime Minister Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland quickly changed approach and began to request discussions and meetings with USTR Robert Lighthizer. Keep in mind more than 80 to 90 percent of the agreement was already done by the U.S. and Mexico teams. Both President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and President Trump were now openly talking about when it would be finalized and signed.

Nancy Pelosi stepped in to help Canada get back into the agreement by leveraging her Democrats. Trump agreed to let Canada engage, and Lighthizer agreed to hold discussions with Chrystia Freeland on a tri-lateral trade agreement that ultimately became the USMCA.

The key points to remember are: (1) Trump, Ross, and Lighthizer would prefer two separate bilateral trade agreements because the U.S. import/export dynamic was entirely different between Mexico and Canada. And because of the loophole issue, (2) a five-year review was put into the finished USMCA trade agreement. The USMCA was signed on November 30, 2018, and came into effect on July 1, 2020.

TIMELINE: The USMCA is now up for review (2025) and renegotiation in 2026!

This timeline is the key to understanding where President Donald Trump stands today. The review and renegotiation is his goal.

President Trump said openly he was going to renegotiate the USMCA, leveraging border security (Mexico) and reciprocity (Canada) within it.

Following the 2024 presidential election, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau traveled to Mar-a-Lago and said if President Trump was to make the Canadian government face reciprocal tariffs, open the USMCA trade agreements to force reciprocity, and/or balance economic relations on non-tariff issues, then Canada would collapse upon itself economically and cease to exist.

In essence, Canada cannot survive as a free and independent north American nation, without receiving all the one-way benefits from the U.S. economy.

To wit, President Trump then said that if Canada cannot survive in a balanced rules environment, including putting together their own military and defenses (which it cannot), then Canada should become the 51st U.S. state. It was following this meeting that President Trump started emphasizing this point and shocking everyone in the process.

However, what everyone missed was the strategy Trump began outlining when contrast against the USMCA review and renegotiation window.

Again, Trump doesn’t like the tri-lateral trade agreement. President Trump would rather have two separate bilateral agreements; one for Mexico and one for Canada. Multilateral trade agreements are difficult to manage and police.

How was President Trump going to get Canada to (a) willingly exit the USMCA; and (b) enter a bilateral trade agreement?

The answer was through trade and tariff provocations, while simultaneously hitting Canada with the shock and awe aspect of the 51st state.

The Canadian government and the Canadian people fell for it hook, line, and sinker.

Trump’s position on the Canadian election outcome had nothing to do with geopolitical friendships and everything to do with America First economics. When asked about the election in Canada, President Trump said, “I don’t care. I think it’s easier to deal, actually, with a liberal and maybe they’re going to win, but I don’t really care.”

By voting emotionally, the Canadian electorate have fallen into President Trump’s USMCA exit trap. Prime Minister Mark Carney will make the exit much easier. Carney now becomes the target of increased punitive coercion until such a time as the USMCA review is begun, and Canada is forced to a position of renegotiation.

Trump never wanted Canada as a 51st state.

Trump always wanted a U.S.-Canada bilateral trade agreement.

Mark Carney said the era of U.S.-Canadian economic ties “are officially declared severed.”

Canada has willingly exited the USMCA trade agreement at the perfect time for President Trump.
