More than 40,000 people around the world have urged the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to ensure that “women are not forced to compete against men in future Olympics”.

The petition to “Keep Women’s Sports for Women”, organised by Alliance Defending Freedom, criticised the committee for failing to prevent men from entering women’s sports.

The IOC’s Fairness, Inclusion and Non-Discrimination framework allows each sport’s governing body to determine its own eligibility criteria. But it claims there should be “no presumption of advantage” on the basis of biological or physiological characteristics.

Former college swimmer Riley Gaines, who competed against a man known as Lia Thomas, said her “safety and privacy in the locker room was repeatedly jeopardised because of sports bodies which put ideology before women’s rights. I’m one of so many young women that have lost out on medals and opportunities – simply because I wasn’t a male.”

“The IOC is looked upon as a leader on sports policies. It must take heed of this petition, and take a stand for women around the world in protecting our sports – not only for this generation of athletes, but the little girls who one day dream of winning the gold.”

Former Olympian Sharron Davies MBE added: “Women’s sport should never have been sacrificed on the altar of virtue-signalling gender ideology, against all the peer reviewed science in the first place.”

“Let’s hope common sense & prioritising fairness & safety for female athletes will return soon. The willful negligence of the boxing during the Paris 2024 Olympics was a particular low point and a total disgrace.”

Actress, singer and sister of Britney Spears, Jamie Lynn Spears, has revealed she experienced pressure to have an abortion when she was pregnant at 16. The 32-year-old contestant on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! told fellow contestants and viewers about her teen pregnancy. “When I first got pregnant… They didn’t want me to have the baby”, she said. 

The mother of two cried as she told fellow contestants that people around her “didn’t want me to have the baby”. Having been on a children’s television show, she spoke about the backlash that she faced when her pregnancy was announced by the media. “The whole world was like, ‘You’re a s**t, you’re horrible your life is over… Because I got pregnant young and I was on a kids’ show”, she shared.

Despite the intense scrutiny of being in the public eye, she decided not to have an abortion and gave birth to her daughter, Maddie Briann Aldridge, who is now 15 years old. Spears also has a second daughter, five-year-old Ivey Joan. 

The American actress and sister of Britney Spears, came to fame in 2005 as the protagonist of the children’s television show Zoey 101 and in 2007, she drew the attention of the media when, at age 16, she became pregnant. 

Back in 2007, the Nickelodeon star spoke about how much of a shock it was for her and her daughter’s father, Casey Aldridge, to find out they were having a baby. “It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected. I was in complete and total shock and so was he”, she said. 

Aware of how much public interest there would be in her pregnancy, then 16-year-old Spears moved to Mississippi and “literally hid”. She recounted how she initially kept the news of her pregnancy to herself so that she would not be influenced by others in her decision to keep her baby. “Only one of my friends knew because I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone’s opinion affect my decision. Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me”, she shared.

The number of cats and dogs dying from consuming their owners’ cocaine is rapidly increasing year on year in the United States, demonstrating the drug’s growing use.

Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found that the number of cats being admitted to an animal poison control centre in the US due to cocaine or methamphetamine has increased by more than half annually since 2019, and dogs by over a third each year.

The study identified “significant increases in cocaine exposure”. It highlights the far-reaching effects of widespread drug use, beyond users themselves.

Dr Orrin Ware, who authored the study, explained “we want to highlight that pets are vulnerable populations that can experience significant harm if exposed to intoxicating substances”.

The researchers concluded: “Animals are highly sensitive to the stimulatory and sympathomimetic effects of cocaine and methamphetamine.

“Any degree of exposure should be considered concerning, as there is the risk of severe toxicity and death”.

The problem has also exploded in the UK.

The NHS describes cocaine as a “highly addictive drug” which acts as “a short lived central nervous system stimulant” which has various long-term side-effects including heart damage, malnutrition and impotence, while an overdose can be fatal. Possession of cocaine carries a maximum seven-year prison sentence in the UK.

In October, it was revealed that a spike in cocaine use has led to an enormous rise in the number of drug poisoning deaths in England and Wales.

Deaths involving the Class A drug topped over 1,100 in 2023 – more than ten times those in 2013.

In total, almost 5,500 people died as a result of drug poisonings last year, the highest since records began in 1993.

Drug and alcohol treatment charity Change Grow Live said the “devastating loss of life” was “deeply saddening, unnecessary and unacceptable”.

In Scotland, a report this autumn revealed over 600 children lost a parent or guardian from drug-related deaths in 2020.

In its report, Public Health Scotland examined official statistics from 2019 and 2020. Scotland has the highest drug fatality rate in Europe.

Same-sex “marriage” has created an increased demand for children obtained through surrogacy by homosexuals. It’s a practice fraught with misery for everyone except the wealthy parents willing to pay for genetic material and to rent a womb for nine months.  

Surrogacy entails the use of in vitro fertilization (IVF), which involves the destruction of unused embryos. Those who endorse this set up countless millions of precious souls to be discarded as medical waste.    

When people choose to create children using IVF, many more eggs are fertilized than necessary as an insurance policy in case first attempts at successful pregnancies fail.  Stored embryos deemed to be no longer necessary for the clients’ pursuit of a family – often numbering a dozen or more – are simply tossed away, their lives aborted.    

The IVF industry cannot survive without the killing of embryos. More to the point: the IVF industry cannot survive without the killing of 93 percent of children the process creates.   

From the perspective of 10 out of 11 children created via IVF, IVF is murder.   

A lead campaigner for Canada’s euthanasia programme may have chosen to live if adequate care had been available, according to reports.

Jean Truchon, who had cerebral palsy, was one of the key figures in campaigning to expand the scope of euthanasia and assisted suicide legislation in Canada in 2019 so that the law did not only apply to people whose death was ‘reasonably foreseeable’. Following his successful legal challenge in Quebec, in 2021, the Canadian Parliament ultimately repealed the requirement that the natural death of those applying for euthanasia or assisted suicide be “reasonably foreseeable”.  

After Truchon’s life was ended by euthanasia in 2020 aged 51, he was praised for his contribution to the assisted suicide debate by François Legault, the Premier of Quebec, and then-Health Minister Danielle McCann.

However, in a 2016 email seen by The Telegraph, Truchon suggested he may not have wished to die at all if he had been able to access better care.

“In response to your question regarding home care, I think that indeed if there were services for 70 hours or more, I would have preferred to stay at home and possibly I would not have had the same desire to die”, he said in a letter transcribed by his psychologist.

For all the terrible damage done to families nd individuals by gambling, Great Britain is “falling behind” other European countries in tackling betting ads, GambleAware has warned.

‘Drivers of Gambling Marketing Restrictions – An International Comparison’, a report commissioned by the charity, compared Great Britain’s self-regulated gambling industry with several European countries such as Spain and Italy.

The report concluded that although Britain has the “most evidence of the negative effects of gambling marketing”, it remains a “significant outlier” in introducing wider restrictions.

The research found that a common occurrence in European countries was the “liberalisation of gambling markets, followed by an increase in participation and marketing, and, therefore, the number of people harmed by gambling”.

In response, several Governments introduced legislation to restrict marketing on the basis that gambling was causing harm and becoming “normalised for children and young people”.

But in contrast, the previous Government’s White Paper on reforming the Gambling Act 2005 claimed there was “a lack of conclusive evidence” and did not directly address the issue.

Dr Raffaello Rossi, who was one of the report’s authors, said the situation in Britain “suggests that the lack of tight restrictions isn’t due to insufficient evidence but rather a lack of political will.

“Across Europe, bans on gambling marketing are increasingly the norm, seen as necessary to protect the public. Great Britain, however, is becoming an outlier with almost no meaningful restrictions.

“The evidence is clear – policymakers must act urgently to protect millions from preventable harm.”

Have you ever wondered why there is so much hatred, violence and poison thrown at babies and children? Are are the innocents targeted for destruction or perversion by so many blatantly evil forces?

It's really VERY simple: Every human baby is made in the image of God. So, of course, Satan hates every newborn baby and every growing child.

Even accounting for original sin, this Divine image shines brightly in an innocent little baby. It’s the clarity of this divine image which causes Satan to hate children with particular ferocity.

This is why Satan ferociously attacks children with a hellish three-point plan:

• Abortion, which kills children in the womb
• Transgender ideology, which mutilates children after birth
• Corruption through depraved “education,” murdering AND mutilating the souls of children and adolescents.

When they started their first step campaign for 'gay rights', the LGBTQ movement merely demanded a little “tolerance.” But, in reality, that was never their real aim.

The truth is that the LGBT movement sought – and seeks – recruitment. Having sexual preferences which are innately non-reproductive, they can only reproduce, and create younger generation potential sexual partners, through recruiting new individuals to their toxic lifestyles.

Towards that end, they seek not tolerance, but total political and cultural dominance. They seek to have every level of government positively affirm their agenda, to have their flags fly in front of government buildings, to enforce speech codes that constitute compelled speech (“preferred pronouns”), and to use whatever mechanisms available to punish those who oppose or stand in the way of these goals. 

The LGBT movement never had any intention of promoting a “live and let live” culture. They seek to make affirmation of their ideology mandatory, although they rarely been honest about this and usually cloak their intentions with pleasant-sounding language, an iron fist in a rainbow-coloured velvet glove. In recent years, we have increasingly seen the mask come off as they have achieved the cultural dominance they sought. They no longer need to talk about “tolerance.” Now, they can come out of the closet as the bullies they always aspired to be. 

The still-unfolding story of Emo, Ontario is a good example. The LGBT group Borderland Pride sued the tiny township for voting against issuing a “pride” proclamation and declining to fly the LGBT flag (as Australia’s Sky News pointed out in a segment that garnered over 300,000 views on YouTube, city hall does not even have a flagpole). The Ontario Human Rights Tribunal fined the town council $10,000 for their heretical vote, and personally fined Mayor Harold McQuaker $5,000. When he stated that he would not pay because he was not hateful, Borderland Pride got a court order and had the money taken right out of his bank account. 

Borderland Pride’s own social media shows a group bigoted against Christians and deeply intolerant. Borderland Pride, responding to accusations of intolerance, engaged in a moment of refreshing honesty, posting this statement to their Facebook Page: 

We are noticing a lot of the right-wing blogosphere talking about Borderland Pride as not being very tolerant. Aside from the fact that most of these accusations have been published by uninformed mansplainers on YouTube, let’s just get something clear: 

We are not seeking tolerance. Nope.  

“Toleration” is for when we put up with things that are inherently unpleasant or obnoxious, out of social courtesy, such as screaming infants on airplanes, telemarketers, or people who do loser laps around town on loud motorcycles. 

We are not asking for your tolerance. We are not a nuisance to be tolerated, and tolerance is not our goal. Inclusion and non-discrimination are our goals. 

So there you have it. Borderland Pride is not seeking “tolerance” – that is, people of different ideologies, political beliefs, and religions living together and tolerating the views of those they disagree with, even if they find those views genuinely false or even reprehensible. Their goal is to force submission; to hoist their flag over the town; to compel public servants who do not share their ideology to publish a statement endorsing their movement and its goals.

That political and cultural agenda is what the revolutionary, anti-Christian left find so attractive about their LGBTQ allies. This is what makes them useful for the aim of 'demoralising society'. That doesn't mean demoralising in the sense of making people miserable and defeatists (though it often has that side effect). When cultural Marxists use it, 'demoralisation' has its literal meaning - taking traditional, Christian morals out of society, so that their anti-morals can be inserted into the resulting hole.

But, for the LGBTQ fanatics themselves, even that is a means to a much more basic end: The perversion and seduction of vulnerable youngsters for sex. It's not about tolerance at all, it's about sexual grooming.
