Europol has busted a massive international pedophile network based in Germany, the agency announced on Wednesday.

According to Europol, authorities successful raided an expansive child exploitation network operating across more than 30 countries.

The takedown resulted in numerous arrests connected to the distribution of illegal child abuse content.

The European Union’s law enforcement agency confirmed that the illicit online hub, operating on the Darknet under the name “Kidflix,” was brought offline through a coordinated investigation led by the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office in Germany.

Kidflix, one of the largest paedophile platforms in the world, has been shut down in an international operation against child sexual exploitation.

Europol has supported authorities from 38 countries worldwide in shutting down the platform.

Authorities estimate that the now-defunct platform serviced a staggering global user base of approximately 1.8 million individuals.

“Operation Stream has been the largest operation ever handled by Europol’s experts in fighting child sexual exploitation, and one of the biggest cases supported by the law enforcement agency in recent years,” the press release states.

Investigations have already extended to 35 different countries, and so far, law enforcement has apprehended 79 suspects, with around 1,400 additional individuals under scrutiny, more than 100 of whom are believed to be located within Germany.

Launched in 2021, the site quickly became one of the most expansive operations of its kind, with European investigators labeling it the largest ever uncovered on the continent.

The digital repository reportedly hosted over 91,000 videos depicting child exploitation, with new material being uploaded at an alarming rate—averaging about three to four videos per hour.

After paying for access, users were able to stream or contribute content involving the sexual abuse of minors.

“The digital dimension has driven a rapid evolution in online child sexual exploitation, offering offenders a borderless platform to contact and groom victims, as well as to create, store, and exchange child sexual abuse material,” said Europol’s Executive Director Catherine De Bolle.

”Some attempt to frame this as merely a technical or cyber issue – but it is not.”

”There are real victims behind these crimes, and those victims are children,” she continued.  “As a society, we must act to protect our children.”

The investigation is ongoing, with authorities continuing to pursue leads across multiple jurisdictions.

Hunter Biden, the scandal-plagued son of Joe Biden, has voluntarily agreed to give up his license to practice law in Washington, D.C., according to Politico.

The decision, revealed this week by the D.C. Bar’s Board on Professional Responsibility, comes as no surprise to those who’ve followed the younger Biden’s laundry list of legal troubles.

It’s a blatant attempt to sidestep the inevitable—a full disbarment proceeding that would have laid bare the consequences of his criminal behavior.

Last June, a jury convicted him of felony gun charges—owning a firearm while using illegal drugs and lying about that drug use on a federal form.

Then, in September, he pleaded guilty to tax evasion and a slew of other tax-related crimes, admitting he’d dodged the law while living a life of excess.

Yet, in December, his father—Joe Biden himself—swooped in with a presidential pardon, wiping the slate clean for his wayward son. How convenient.

Hunter’s license was already suspended following his felony gun conviction, per an order issued by the D.C. Court of Appeals shortly after the jury’s verdict on June 11, 2024.

The suspension stems from legal proceedings initiated by the D.C. Bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel. Under D.C. Bar rules, any felony is categorized as a “serious crime,” prompting the court to take swift action.

In addition to the suspension, the D.C. Court of Appeals has directed the Bar’s Board on Professional Responsibility to launch a formal proceeding to evaluate the nature of Hunter’s offense and determine whether it involves “moral turpitude.”

In an effort to preempt formal disbarment, Hunter Biden filed an affidavit under seal with the D.C. Court of Appeals, consenting to disbarment.

The Board on Professional Responsibility submitted a Consent Motion on Tuesday, requesting the court to file the amended motion and accompanying affidavit under seal, citing confidentiality rules outlined in D.C. Bar Rule XI, § 12(c). In plain terms: the Board and Disciplinary Counsel agreed with Hunter Biden’s legal team to finalize his disbarment out of public view.

The sealed affidavit likely contains the details of Biden’s reasoning for stepping away from the legal profession—details that, under normal circumstances, the public would be entitled to see.

However, citing D.C. Bar rules, the Board has requested the court to suppress both the affidavit and the amended motion that reveals its contents.

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden left Tucker Carlson visibly shaken after dropping a chilling COVID-19 vaccine statistic that’s impacting millions of children right now.

Before her appearance on Carlson’s show, Dr. Bowden, a Texas-based ENT specialist, rose to prominence in the medical freedom movement by speaking out against vaccine mandates and advocating for early treatment options like ivermectin.

She gained national attention after she was suspended by Houston Methodist Hospital for challenging the prevailing COVID narrative.

Despite the backlash, Bowden has remained committed to the Hippocratic Oath, successfully treating an impressive total of over 6,000 COVID patients without a single death.

She said that under normal circumstances, such numbers would’ve prompted the FDA to pull the shots.

Instead, they pushed forward, adding the COVID vaccine to the routine childhood schedule, with the expectation that babies receive three doses by just nine months of age.

She added that the shots are still under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for children under 12—not fully FDA approved—and yet they remain on the official vaccine schedule.

Tucker was horrified when Dr. Bowden mentioned a disturbing fact: “According to the CDC, 9 million American children have gotten the latest version of these COVID shots,” she said.

Clearly caught off guard, Carlson asked, “Actually?”

“Yes,” Bowden confirmed.

“Still?” he pressed.

“Yes. Yes. 9 million [kids]—12% [of US children have been injected].”

Tucker, in disbelief, asked, “Wait, this is going on right now?”

“Yes,” Bowden replied.

“I think we voted against this,” Tucker said.

“Yeah,” Bowden confirmed.

“Correct?” Tucker stressed.

“I don’t know,” Dr. Bowden answered.

“You’re very diplomatic, but I’m just stunned to learn that that’s happening right now,” Tucker exclaimed.

“Could this be shut down?” he asked.

“It should have been shut down a long time ago,” Dr. Bowden answered. “And you know, what’s the—”

Tucker interrupted: “9 million babies have had COVID shots?”

“Yeah. Well, children. Minors,” Dr. Bowden clarified.

Tucker’s reaction at the end says it all:

The conversation took another dark turn when Carlson asked about the potential long-term consequences of these shots, to which Dr. Bowden pointed to a disturbing trend.

“I don’t see a ton of cancer in my practice,” she said, “but I do have friends at MD Anderson, and they said they’ve never seen anything like it. The young people coming in with very advanced tumors, I think that’s what we have to be worried about now.”

She explained that getting updated cancer data is difficult, but the anecdotal reports are piling up. “It’s hard to get up-to-date cancer numbers, but I’m hearing all sorts of things. There are probably people who have access to that data, but publicly, it’s hard [to get access].”

“I don’t see a ton of cancer in my practice, but I do have friends at MD Anderson, and they said they’ve never seen anything like it. The young people coming in with very advanced tumors, I think that’s what we have to be worried about now.”

This raises a profound question we must now consider as a society: What have we done?

In our rush to vaccinate every man, woman, and child, have we compromised the long-term health of a population that never needed these shots in the first place?

What data was ignored? If so, who made decisions to ignore that data, and will they ever answer for the consequences? It’s time for a serious conversation about accountability.

Five years after the greatest crime in American history, the only people who’ve been punished are the ones who told the truth about Covid. Dr. Mary Talley Bowden is one of them.

Where is the media outrage?

16-year-old track and football star Austin Metcalf was brutally stabbed to death Wednesday morning during a championship track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas.

Metcalf, a junior at Frisco Memorial High School, was attacked in broad daylight — at a school-sanctioned event meant to showcase hard work, discipline, and sportsmanship.

The suspect, 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony of rival school Frisco Centennial, is now charged with first-degree murder, according to Fox News.

This horrifying act of violence occurred around 10 a.m. during the University Interscholastic League’s District 11-5A championship meet. Witnesses say the attack was swift and left little time for intervention.

According to the press release:

On Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at approximately 10:00 a.m., Frisco Police and Fire responded to an incident at a track meet in the 6900 block of Stadium Lane.  An altercation between two students resulted in one stabbing the other. Despite lifesaving measures by police and fire personnel, including CPR and the administration of blood, the 16-year-old victim died.

The suspect, identified as 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony of Frisco, is in custody and there is no further threat to the public.  He has been charged with Murder, a 1st Degree Felony.  No bond has been set at this time.

This is an active and ongoing investigation with resources from FPD’s School Resource Division, Patrol Division, and Criminal Investigations Division devoted to it…

The Frisco Police Department grieves with all those affected by this devastating loss and extends its deepest condolences to the victim’s family, students, and staff who are experiencing unimaginable pain. The department is collaborating with the Frisco Independent School District and will continue to provide any support they need during this incredibly difficult time.

Jeff Metcalf stated that his son, Austin Metcalf, was killed after Karmelo Anthony became upset about being told he was in the wrong place, according to NBC News.

Metcalf said his son didn’t know the student who attacked him. Austin’s twin brother, Hunter, was nearby when the confrontation happened—he witnessed the stabbing and desperately tried to stop the bleeding.

“They were twins, identical twins, and his brother was holding on to him, trying to make it stop bleeding, and he died in his brother’s arms,” Metcalf told NBC News.

“I rushed up there and I saw him on the gurney and I could tell — they said he wasn’t breathing. I could see all the blood, and I saw where the wound was, and I was very concerned, so I had to find his brother, and we rushed to the hospital. And we prayed, and it’s God’s plan, I don’t understand it, but they weren’t able to save him. This is murder.”

“I’m not trying to judge, but what kind of parents did this child have? What was he taught? He brought a knife to a track meet and he murdered my son by stabbing him in the heart. The guy was in the wrong place and they asked him to move and he bowed up. This is murder,” Metcalf said.

“You know what, I already forgive this person,” he added. “Already. God takes care of things. God is going to take care of me. God is going to take care of my family.”

Frisco Memorial Principal Brook Fesco informed parents and staff in an emotional email obtained by Fox News that Metcalf had died from his injuries, calling it an “unthinkable tragedy.”

“As a parent, your guidance and support will be important in helping your child process grief. Talking about this together, face-to-face, will give you a chance to discuss how your family understands and copes with loss. You may also want to discuss with your child how to be a supportive friend to classmates,” Fesco wrote.

“This loss might remind your student of past losses as well. The most important thing you can do is provide your child a chance to be heard and to express their feelings.”

Austin’s father, Jeff Metcalf, also organized a fundraising campaign on the GoFundMe page.

According to the fundraising campaign:

My son, Austin Metcalf, was tragically stabbed today at a school track meet. They were not able to save him. He was a bright young man with a great future ahead of him. He was a leader of men. His smile would light up the room. His passion for football was unbelievable. Voted team MVP this past season and carried a 4.0 GPA.

He was looking forward to taking his game to the next level. His commitment, dedication, leadership, and sheer grit made him rise to the level of success that he desired. His twin brother, Hunter, played beside him.

We will all remember him for the way he impacted others’ lives. I love you forever, son. It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later. God will take care of us till we meet again. RIP. Love, Dad

Action movie star Jean-Claude Van Damme has been named in a criminal complaint filed by Romania’s Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT).

The 64-year-old Belgian-born star, known for his high-octane roles in Bloodsport, Kickboxer, and Street Fighter, is accused of knowingly engaging in sexual acts with five Romanian women who were allegedly victims of a human trafficking ring.

The allegations claim the incidents took place roughly a decade ago at an event in Cannes, organized by Van Damme himself.

According to reports from CNN affiliate Antena 3, the women—presented as photo models—were offered to Van Damme as a “gift” by a criminal group already under investigation for pimping and trafficking, led by Romanian businessman Morel Bolea.

Attorney Adrian Cuculis, representing one of the alleged victims, told the news outlet, “The person who received those benefits knew their condition,” suggesting Van Damme was fully aware the women were exploited.

The complaint alleges the actor’s actions violated Romania’s strict laws against human trafficking and exploitation, potentially implicating him in a broader network of cross-border crime.

According to Page Six, proceedings are pending authorization from France’s High Court of Cassation, which must approve further legal action and allow for suspect depositions in Romania.

The Hollywood actor has yet to issue a statement in response to the accusation.

The case is part of a broader investigation into human trafficking and the exploitation of minors that began in 2020 by Romanian authorities.
