The majority of illegal migrants earmarked for deportation from the German state of Saxony-Anhalt last year either absconded or thwarted attempts in the courts. Of the total number of illegal migrants earmarked for deportation from the German state of Saxony-Anhalt last year, only a fraction were successfully carried out, the state’s interior minister has revealed. In response to a parliamentary question from a left-wing lawmaker, the CDU Interior Minister Tamara Zieschang noted how just 535 of the 1,848 planned repatriations of illegal migrants to their country of origin were successfully achieved in 2023 — just under 29 percent of all cases. The minister explained how in 565 cases, the would-be deportee had absconded and could not be located, while 354 cases involved legal attempts to thwart deportation proceedings or administrative failures in providing the necessary paperwork. A further 205 illegal migrants were rejected by their country of origin, and in 46 cases the concerned individual evaded deportation through “church asylum” — a practice in Germany whereby prospective refugees can seek temporary protection through their local parish should they be considered to face persecution back in their home country. The measure allows time for a re-examination of their protection status by the state. A further 37 cases were disrupted by illness and individuals not being medically fit to be deported, 17 cases were thwarted by urgent applications to German courts, and 9 cases were adjourned due to ongoing criminal proceedings.Save 40% on our limited edition Brain Force Ultra that’s loaded with proprietary super ingredients! The governing center-right CDU in the German state accused the federal government comprising a left-liberal coalition of being responsible for the low success rate, denouncing recent bilateral agreements with third countries as “nothing more than a bad PR stunt.” “They have not brought about any noticeable improvements,” said Chris Schulenburg, the CDU’s domestic policy spokesman in Saxony. At the national level, leading CDU politicians have expressed their support for off-shore processing of asylum applications as a way to reduce the attractiveness of Germany as a migrant hotspot. The move would mirror similar policies adopted by the U.K. Conservative government and fellow EU member states Denmark and Italy. In December last year, the CDU’s former health minister, Jens Spahn, said, “If we did this and kept it up consequently for four, six, eight weeks, we would see the numbers reduce dramatically.” CDU leader Friedrich Merz and Thorsten Frei, the deputy chairman of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag, have also commented in favor of radically reforming Germany’s asylum policy. Data from the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) published earlier this year revealed how asylum applications jumped by 51.1 percent to 350,000 last year compared to 2022 when 217,774 applications were made. Prof. Hans-Jürgen Papier, who served as president of the Federal Constitutional Court for eight years until 2010, claimed that the German asylum law was not fit for purpose and claimed the country was being abused by an influx of economic migrants with the luxury of handpicking which European nation they’d like to settle in. “Many people come to our country from all parts of the world for clearly non-asylum reasons. The right to asylum is therefore being misused and, in many cases, applied for improperly in Germany,” he noted. Meanwhile, figures published this week by the Federal Employment Agency revealed how welfare benefits were sky-rocketing across Germany, with more than two-thirds of beneficiaries being either first or second-generation migrants.

In 2023, YouTube removed 35,000 video uploads in EU. Google’s YouTube video platform is switching gearsin the lead-up to the 2024 election in order to rig the election against unapproved candidates. In a new blog post, YouTube laid out how it is “voluntarily” assuming the role of a private business that “supports elections.” YouTube is not just interested in rigging the United States election, though; the changes arrived just prior to the European Parliament (EP) election, which is also right around the corner. YouTube says its goal is to present “an overview of our efforts to help people across Europe and beyond find helpful and authoritative election news and information,” meaning YouTube will disseminate only approved information for public consumption to sway people’s voting habits. “The overview is the usual hodgepodge of reasonable concepts, such as promoting information on how to vote or register for voting, learning about election results, etc., that quickly morph into yet another battle in the ‘war on disinformation,'” warns Reclaim the Net about what YouTube is really up to.Power up with Nitric Boost that’s now 40% OFF!

Kennedy Jr. sued YouTube and Google over their “misinformation policies,” which he says violated his First Amendment right to free speech?) In 2023, YouTube removed 35,000 video uploads in EU In the same above-linked blog post, YouTube also admits, and quite proudly, that it pulled down 35,000 videos that were uploaded in the European Union (EU) in 2023, with many more also coming down this year. All of the videos purportedly contained information that violate the video platform’s policies, including “certain types of election misinformation” – are there certain kinds of election misinformation that YouTube allows, we wonder? It is not just artificial intelligence (AI) that is raking YouTube and pulling down “offensive” content, either. Reports indicate that YouTube has become a well-oiled machine “at scale” where “global teams of reviewers” search for videos to remove with the help of machine learning algorithms. YouTube’s excuse for behaving this way is that it simply wants to help it users “learn about the issues shaping the debate.” In order to do that, one component of the effort involves “dealing with harmful content,” which really means that YouTube is trying to shape the debate rather than simply facilitate it. “Our Intelligence Desk has also been working for months to get ahead of emerging issues and trends that could affect the EU elections, both on and off YouTube,” the blog post explains. “This helps our enforcement teams to address these potential trends before they become larger issues.” Furthermore, under no circumstances will YouTube allow any kind of coordinated influence campaigns to occur on the platform from now on, “regardless of the political viewpoints they support.” If Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) believes it has spotted such a campaign, it will immediately share the information with law enforcement, including EUROPOL. While YouTube does admit that AI in general can potentially be used to destroy an election, its management insists that this type of AI is okay. “When viewers search for 2024 European parliamentary candidates, an information panel will appear above the search results, highlighting candidate information, such as their political party, and link to Google Search,” YouTube says. “Below the information panel, there may also be a link to the candidate’s official channel.” “In the final weeks of the campaign, on the YouTube homepage, we’ll show reminders on where and how to vote.” The latest news about election interference and Big Tech’s role in facilitating it can be found at Rigged.news.

Ambassador Anatoly Antonov has warned Washington against authorizing the use of long-range weapons against Russian territory. Calls by American lawmakers to allow Ukraine to use foreign-made weapons against targets deep in Russian territory play into Kiev’s hands, as they encourage a direct clash between Moscow and NATO, Russia’s Ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, has warned. On Wednesday, a group of US congressmen submitted a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin asking him to authorize “the use of US-provided weapons to strike strategic targets within Russian territory under certain circumstances.” This stance has previously been supported by Victoria Nuland, the former acting US Deputy Secretary of State, who played a major role in the Western-backed coup in Kiev in 2014. Earlier this week, however, Austin stopped short of endorsing the policy shift, suggesting that Kiev should focus “on the close fight” rather than on long-range strikes with foreign-made weapons. On Thursday, Antonov denounced the “provocative” and “extremely dangerous and reckless” calls to allow Ukraine to use Western-supplied weapons to attack deep inside Russia. He added that “the calls by Russophobes mean only one thing – further US involvement in the conflict in Ukraine on the side of the agonizing Zelensky regime.”  Read more Let Ukraine use US weapons to attack Russia – Congress membersPower up with Nitric Boost that’s now 40% OFF! This potent formula gives you the massive edge in strength and superior circulation for that unparalleled performance you've been looking for! The envoy suggested that the debates on the matter were a “hysterical reaction” to Russia’s successes on the battlefield against Ukraine, and that Western policymakers “continue to test our patience.”  According to Antonov, it is also obvious that by requesting permission to attack deep inside Russia with foreign-made weapons, Kiev seeks “to provoke the United States, as well as other NATO countries, into rash actions and achieve a head-on collision between Russia and the bloc’s members.”  Kiev would likely use long-range systems against Russian civilians, the ambassador claimed, adding that “the Kiev regime has long… stopped asking permission” from the West to do so. “Barbaric raids using deadly products of the NATO military-industrial complex are carried out across our country on an almost regular basis,” Antonov stated. Ukraine has stepped up its pleas to be allowed to use Western-made weapons against far-flung targets inside Russia as Moscow’s forces steadily advance in Donbass and the Kharkov Region. The latter area has been used by Kiev to routinely shell Russian territory, with strikes killing dozens of civilians. Russian President Vladimir Putin said earlier this month that Moscow’s offensive in Kharkov Region seeks to establish a “cordon sanitaire,” or buffer zone, to prevent further Ukrainian attacks.

Prisons are so full that officers are being ordered to pause so-called “non-priority arrests.” Police chiefs are being told to make fewer arrests because of a lack of prison space—yet another blow to the Conservative Party’s claim to be ‘tough on crime,’ just as talk is heating up (again) about an imminent general election. The plans are bound to benefit what politicians euphemistically call ‘low-level’ criminals, who nonetheless do significant harm to law-abiding citizens and damage businesses, especially small, struggling enterprises. Despite Conservative politicians releasing some prisoners early, there are still just 1,000 spaces currently available in British prisons, some of which are in such a sorry state that regulators say they ought to be shut down. Because of this, an internal document drawn up by the National Police Chiefs’ Council has told police constables to pause so-called “non-priority arrests” and to suspend operations that may result in “large numbers of arrests.” The memo, seen by The Times, does not disclose the kind of offences or operations which officers should ignore. Police have already spent years not arresting those caught in possession of cannabis and other ‘low-level’ drugs, knowing that the courts wouldn’t pursue such cases anyway. Now others will be let off the hook too.Save 40% on our limited edition Brain Force Ultra that’s loaded with proprietary super ingredients! The Daily Telegraph reports that constables have also been warned that a package of emergency measures introduced by the government “risks public safety,” and that the current crisis might further restrict the ability of officers to respond even to urgent calls. A separate memo to British justices says that prison overcrowding could result in the temporary closure of courts, which would not be able to order convicted criminals into cells anyway. These recommendations, which effectively bow to the emboldened criminal elements of society, could be dubbed the ‘San Francisco-isation’ of Britain after officers in the crime-ridden Californian city have said they ignore some ‘low level’ crimes because the district attorney is “pro-criminal and [is] not going to enforce the law.” Labour has grasped this news enthusiastically as yet another opportunity to bash the Tories, but few seriously believe that Sir Keir Starmer’s team will do anything to improve the situation.

Carroll previously claimed: "I am not a threat to women." A transgender-identifying male inmate has been transferred back to a men’s prison after being charged with rape while in custody at a women’s facility. Tremaine “Tremayne” Deon Carroll, who constantly refers to himself by male pronouns but does not mention either his gender identity or his sexuality, was originally sentenced to 25 years to life under California’s Three Strikes Law in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation(CDCR). According to his criminal history, Carroll has been involved in organized crime since 1988 when he was 15. In 1990, he was convicted for his participation in an armed robbery that involved the kidnapping and sexual assault of two women. Despite being a minor, he was charged as an adult with three counts of kidnapping for ransom, two counts of robbery and three counts of oral copulation by force. And in 1998, he committed another violent felony while awaiting trial. Throughout his incarceration in the CDCR, he filed numerous complaints alleging mistreatment, discrimination and sexual abuse by CDCR officials and staff, along with seeking to overturn his Three Strikes Law conviction. But during those years, Carroll also received over a dozen Rules Violation Reports, so none of his complaints worked. However, when the California State Legislature’s SB 132, or the Transgender Respect, Agency and Dignity Act, took effect in January 2021, Carroll wasted no time using it.Power up with Nitric Boost that’s now 40% OFF! This potent formula gives you the massive edge in strength and superior circulation for that unparalleled performance you've been looking for! SB 132 allows male inmates to be incarcerated in facilities that align with their gender identity without the need to be on hormones, undergo surgery, be diagnosed with gender dysphoria or possess legal documents to confirm their status as transgender. (Related: Sexual predators avoid jail time by identifying as “transgender.”) Carroll and male inmates like him were successfully able to get themselves transferred to women’s incarceration facilities. In August 2021, Carroll got transferred to the Central California Women’s Facility (CCWF). Following his transfer, he immediately started using his supposedly transgender identity to support his claims of victimhood. Not long after Carroll was transferred to CCWF, Madera County court records show that in January 2024, he was charged with two counts of rape and one count of dissuading a witness. Following these charges, Carroll was moved back to Kern Valley State Prison, a male-only facility almost two hours away from CCWF. The transfer coincides with the filing of rape charges, indicating a potential reevaluation of housing policies regarding transgender inmates. Carroll previously claimed: “I am not a threat to women” In 2022, Carroll testified for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to intervene in the lawsuit filed by four female inmates who accused trans-identified males transferred to California’s women’s prisons of sexual abuse. The lawsuit, originally filed by the Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF) against the CDCR, challenges SB-132. However, the ACLU filed an intervention against the lawsuit in May 2022 in Fresno District Court. In the filing, the ACLU argued that “males” and “females” do not exist as distinct classes defined by anatomy, genitalia, physical characteristics or physiology. The motion claims that human beings are not sexually dimorphic and that there are no inherent reproductive systems, hormones or chromosomes that differentiate males from females. To support its claim, the ACLU collected sworn testimonies. One of those testimonies came from Carroll. “I know what it feels like to live in fear and to carry the weight of the past abuse by men. But I am not a threat to women. I strongly believe that everyone here at CCWF would benefit from more structured interaction – opportunities to sit and talk with each other and realize that we’re all in the same boat,” Carroll swore at that time. But obviously, his testimony was a proven falsehood. BREAKING: Globalists Resigning In Mass Ahead Of HUGE Events – MUST WATCH

The Israeli government has taken the place of Nazi research doctor Josef Mengele with the introduction of bioengineered meat for consumption by Jews not already exterminated by the forced Covid shots. On the Wednesday show, Alex Jones covered news that Netanyahu’s Israel is in the process of setting up industrial-scale so-called ‘meat’ factories for their guinea pig population. “It’s just like the airport where there’s no waiter, no humans, it’s like robots making it, you type it into a computer,” Jones said. “Releasing steaks at an industrial pace, THEY’RE NOT STEAKS!” Jones went on to discuss how there’s copious regulations on beef, but not on fake meat, as well as the fact the FDA in the U.S. has legalized nanotech to be added to food.
