A man in London was convicted of a “religiously aggravated public order offense” after HE was attacked by a triggered radical.

Hamit Coskun, a Kurdish-Armenian asylum seeker, was fined over $300 after burning a Quran outside the Turkish consulate as a protest against Turkey’s Islamist government.

Moussa Kadri attacked Coskun with a knife, knocked him down, and kicked him.

But it is Coskun, the victim of a physical attack, who is being punished.

The Westminster Magistrates’ Court held Coskun responsible, citing the violent reaction as evidence of his guilt.

Judge John McGarva stated, “Burning a religious book, although offensive, to some is not necessarily disorderly.”

“What made his conduct disorderly was the timing and location of the conduct and that all this was accompanied by abusive language. There was no need for him to use the ‘F word’ and direct it towards Islam.”

The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) noted the irony of the attacker’s actions being used to convict the victim.

From FIRE:

Coskun ignited a new round of debate over blasphemy in the UK after burning a Quran outside London’s Turkish consulate and yelling “F*** Islam” and “Islam is a religion of terrorism,” which he has since repeatedly claimed was a protest against “the Islamist government of Erdoğan,” Turkey’s president. In response, Kadri attacked him with a knife, knocked him to the ground, and kicked him while he was down.

But there’s a particularly disturbing element to this case. Namely, the judge’s justification for the conviction. The “disorderly” nature of Coskun’s protest, the judge said, “is no better illustrated than by the fact that it led to serious public disorder involving him being assaulted by two different people.”

That’s right, a man’s violent attack on another was cited as evidence of the victim’s guilt.

Coskun’s lawyer had argued that the prosecution amounted to an attempt to bring back a blasphemy law abolished in England in 2008.

The Conservative Party noted, “Blasphemy laws have no place in Britain. Yet this verdict creates one de-facto.”

“Parliament never voted for it. The British people do not want it.”

“This decision is wrong.”

As you read this article, 1,700 participants from over 90 countries are gathered in China, discussing how Beijing can displace the United States as the world’s richest and most powerful nation.

Every June, while Western elites gather at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos to push globalist agendas, China hosts its own rival summit: the Annual Meeting of the New Champions, or Summer Davos. Marketed as a forum for innovation and entrepreneurship, the event serves a deeper purpose, advancing Beijing’s long-term plan to dismantle the U.S.-led international order.

Behind the veneer of business networking and technological cooperation, China uses Summer Davos to promote a multipolar world where Western influence declines, Chinese leadership rises, and China ultimately replaces the U.S. as the global hegemon.

Summer Davos began in 2007 as a collaboration between the World Economic Forum and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Its effectiveness lies in its veneer of legitimacy: operating under the WEF brand makes it easier for international participants to attend without appearing to endorse Chinese political positions. This allows Western corporate elites to engage with China’s strategic agenda while maintaining plausible deniability.

The 2025 meeting in Tianjin made this purpose unmistakably clear, as more than 1,700 participants from over 90 countries convened, the underlying message centered on “navigating a future less intertwined with Washington.”

Summer Davos began in 2007 as a collaboration between the World Economic Forum and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). What makes Summer Davos particularly effective is its veneer of legitimacy. Operating under the WEF brand, makes it easier for international participants to attend without appearing to endorse Chinese political positions. Therefore, Western corporate elites can engage with China’s strategic agenda while maintaining plausible deniability. The 2025 Tianjin meeting made China’s strategic intent clear: “navigating a future less intertwined with Washington.”

The attendee list reads like a who’s who of globalist corporate power. Major consulting firms that shape Western economic policy, including Deloitte as a Strategic Partner and Bain & Company as regular participants, send senior executives to these annual gatherings. McKinsey & Company’s Chairman for Greater China regularly appears on panels, while technology giants like Intel have leveraged the forum to announce massive investments, including a $2.5 billion semiconductor facility in Dalian. European aerospace giant Airbus used Summer Davos as the platform to establish its first final assembly line outside Europe, extending the partnership through 2025. Even more concerning, major Western financial institutions and consulting giants use these gatherings to legitimize China’s economic model while helping Beijing develop alternatives to American-led global systems.

Perhaps most telling is the regular presence of Klaus Schwab himself, the WEF founder and architect of the “Great Reset”, who personally attends Summer Davos closing ceremonies. His participation represents the ultimate validation of China’s challenge to Western-led globalism, as the very figure undermining national sovereignty lends his support to Beijing’s alternative world order.

Summer Davos is just one part of China’s broader effort to reshape the global order. Beijing has built a parallel international system through initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, and the Global Security Initiative. Launched in 2013, the BRI now includes 146 to 150 countries and over $1 trillion in infrastructure loans, fostering debt dependence while constructing strategic ports, railways, and telecom networks with both civilian and military uses.

The BRICS coalition poses a direct threat to dollar dominance. What began as an informal alliance of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa has expanded to ten members, adding Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, and the UAE, plus nine partner nations, including Cuba, Belarus, and Malaysia. This bloc now represents about half the global population and over 41% of world GDP, with a stated goal of reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar in trade.

China has also militarized its economic challenge through the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a ten-member security bloc including Russia, Central Asia, India, Pakistan, Iran, and Belarus. The SCO controls 20% of global oil and 44% of natural gas reserves, while conducting joint military drills and counter-terror operations.

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), with 110 members, including most U.S. treaty allies and key NATO and G7 nations, directly challenges the Japan-led Asian Development Bank, a cornerstone of American influence in Asia since 1966. With China holding 27% of voting shares and $100 billion in capital, the AIIB provides developing nations a clear alternative to Western financial institutions and their governance standards.

More insidiously, China’s Global Security Initiative, backed by over 100 countries, adopts Russia’s “indivisible security” doctrine, the same justification Moscow used to invade Ukraine. This framework allows Beijing to frame a Taiwan invasion as an issue of national sovereignty and an internal affair, warning that no outside nation, especially the U.S., should interfere. It also enables the Chinese Communist Party to denounce NATO expansion and U.S. alliances as destabilizing, while presenting itself as a peaceful alternative to American “hegemony.”

Summer Davos serves as a strategic recruitment and testing ground for all of these initiatives and China’s anti-Western agenda, floating new proposals, refining its messaging, and pulling international participants deeper into its orbit through economic incentives and soft power. The forum doubles as both laboratory and launchpad for Beijing’s global ambitions, enabling the CCP to test ideas and cement the alliances needed to displace American leadership.

A massive human smuggling ring with Iranian terror ties was busted up by the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), raising more concerns about potential terror sleeper cells in America as the Iran-Israel war continues.

The CBP revealed on Friday night that it had executed a federal search warrant at a human smuggling hub in Los Angeles tied to national security threats from Iran.

During the operation, two people were arrested thanks to a combined effort from the CBP’s Special Response Team, Border Patrol tactical units, and Air and Marine Operations.

CBP noted that seven Iranian nationals were arrested at the same address earlier in the week. These included ones on the FBI Terror Watchlist and associates of an Iranian human trafficking network.

The agency also said that the house has been repeatedly used to harbor illegal aliens linked to terrorism.

This news comes as the Trump Administration made a massive nationwide bust just a few days ago, which sent shockwaves across the Internet.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Tuesday arrested 11 Iranian nationals found to be living in the country illegally, including individuals with suspected terrorist ties and significant criminal histories.

These individuals were apprehended from eight states, including Minnesota, Mississippi, Alabama, California, New York, Colorado, and Texas.

Five of those detained carry records of serious offenses—including drug possession, grand larceny, firearms charges—underscoring ongoing concerns about repeat offenders overstaying visas or exploiting parole pathways.

While Trump and his team deserve remarkable credit for sweeping these dangerous thugs across the street, there are likely still several more Iranian terror cells left unaccounted for. This is all thanks to the Biden regime throwing open our borders for four years to alter the racial and political makeup of America.

If one of these Iranians pulls off an attack on our country, all the blood will be on the hands of Biden and his handlers.

Race-baiting Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) made a wicked personal attack on First Lady Melania Trump’s qualifications and intellect during a House hearing, and it completely backfired on her via a surprising source.

After slamming President Trump’s immigration policies during Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing, Crockett decided to make things personal and go after his wife to paint the GOP as hypocrites.

“Since we’re talking about integrity, I’m confused as to why my Republican colleagues aren’t talking about the lack of integrity when it comes to the president’s family’s visas, she whined.

“Melania, the First Lady, a model, and when I’m talking about model, I don’t mean Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell-level, applied for and was given an EB-1 visa,” she added. “And what that stands for is an Einstein visa.”

Crockett, who is not exactly an Einstein, then attempted to explain how one obtains this visa while suggesting that the First Lady got one through suspicious means.

“Now, y’all that don’t know, let me tell you how you receive an Einstein visa. You’re supposed to have some sort of significant achievement, like being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize or a Pulitzer, being an Olympic medalist, or having other sustained extraordinary abilities and success in sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics”, she stated.

Last time I checked, the first lady had none of those accolades under her belt. It doesn’t take an Einstein to see that the math ain’t mathin’ here.”

The Cato Institute’s Alex Nowrasteh, who was testifying at the hearing, interjected by saying, “Not everybody could marry Donald Trump, and I think that’s quite an achievement, so I think she deserves credit for that. Nobody up here could have done it!”

Crockett responded: “You sure are right, I couldn’t have done it.”

Melania moved to the US in 1996 on a tourist visa, which was then converted into a work visa as she started pursuing her modeling career in New York City. She received her Einstein visa in 2001, four years before marrying Donald Trump.

The Einstein visa rewards people with “extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics through sustained national or international acclaim.”

The candidate then must fit three of the ten criteria as required by the U.S. government:

• Evidence of receipt of lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence
• Evidence of your membership in associations in the field which demand outstanding achievement of their members
• Evidence of published material about you in professional or major trade publications or other major media
• Evidence that you have been asked to judge the work of others, either individually or on a panel
• Evidence of your original scientific, scholarly, artistic, athletic, or business-related contributions of major significance to the field
• Evidence of your authorship of scholarly articles in professional or major trade publications or other major media
• Evidence that your work has been displayed at artistic exhibitions or showcases
• Evidence of your performance of a leading or critical role in distinguished organizations
• Evidence that you command a high salary or other significantly high remuneration in relation to others in the field
• Evidence of your commercial successes in the performing arts

Following Crockett’s rant, an old New York Times article went viral. It turns out the liberal paper interviewed several lawyers in 2018 while investigating Melania’s “Einstein” status.

And guess what? Most thought she deserved the visa.

For example, Atlanta lawyer Marshall Cohen, who specializes in EB-1s, told the Times he would have taken Melania on as a client without hesitation.

“I am assuming she made a lot of money, got a lot of press, and was on the cover of magazines,” he said. “She was probably a pretty easy case.”

“Do we need more foreign fashion models? Some might say no,” Cohen added. “We might need more chemical engineers. But if there is a fashion model at the top of her field, she could qualify.”

Topline: Los Angeles has dominated the news cycle as residents protest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s efforts to deport illegal immigrants, but the California state government has been funding the same cause for years.

California gave $73.6 million to five nonprofits in 2023 and 2024 that are involved in immigration advocacy and deportation defense, OpenTheBooks found in a new report.

Key facts: The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, or CHIRLA, received $35.2 million from California. Local attorney Laura Powell says the group leads the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network, a hotline where members of the public send in tips about the location of ICE agents so activists can respond. Powell also claims the group has a “close relationship with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.”

CHIRLA also runs the “Wise Up!” program, an “initiative to organize high school students — both undocumented and allies — around immigrant rights.” CHIRLA’s CEO Angelica Salas accepted a salary of over $201,000 in 2023.

The Immigration Legal Resource Center received just under $30 million from California. Its website states the group has “expertise” in helping “immigrants with criminal convictions” avoid deportation, and its advocacy focuses on “dismantling the arrest to deportation pipeline and disrupting racial disparities in the immigration and criminal legal systems.” Three of the nonprofit’s top employees earn more than $260,000.

The Services, Immigrant Rights and Education Network received $772,800 of funding from the state’s Department of Social Services. Its website explains that one of the group’s goals is to “shift the political landscape in Northern California and the Central Valley by mobilizing immigrant and youth vote in elections.”

Two similar nonprofits, the Immigration Institute of the Bay Area and the Immigrant Defenders Law Center, received $7.1 million and $631,600 of taxpayer funding, respectively.

Background: The five nonprofits are just a sampling of what is listed in the California checkbook, a line-by-line list of state expenditures. California concealed its checkbook from taxpayers for years until OpenTheBooks sued the State Controller in 2020.

Summary: With California and Los Angeles facing huge budget deficits, it may be time for the state to focus less on nonprofits that encourage violating immigration law and more on services that directly benefit taxpayers.
