‘Mosque Buster’ Lawyer Gavin Boby Exposes How Communities Can Stop the Islamic Takeover—With a Special Message to Texas (Interview)    Boby highlighted the strategic nature of mosque-building, explaining that they serve as command centers for community control, legislative enforcement, and demographic consolidation. “A mosque isn’t just a place of worship—it is a territorial claim,” he stated. “Once a mosque is built, the message is clear: ‘This is our area now.'”

   He pointed out that the blueprint for Islamic enclaves follows a predictable pattern, beginning with the establishment of a mosque and culminating in the forced displacement of non-Muslims through intimidation tactics, economic manipulation, and social pressure.

The cancer of October 7 denial is spreading. Its antidote is this forensic account of Hamas’s crimes  Which is why the report published this week by the commission of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for UK-Israel, chaired by Lord Mendelsohn (different from Lord Mandelson), is so important. It organises, relates and explains all the events of that terrible day, giving some necessary before-and-after, but avoiding theorising and polemic. 

    Every site of a killing is named and every victim, and, where known, how each victim died. Here are the 30 named communities, mainly kibbutzes, attacked, the story of the rocket barrages and border breaches, of assaults from land, sea and air (paragliders) on Bedouin villages, military facilities, Israeli  cities, the Nova festival (the latter the scene of the greatest carnage), and more. 

    The report, pulled together by five scholars under the leadership of the historian, Lord Roberts of Belgravia, also describes the variety and incidence of atrocities – torture, sexual violence, the desecration and kidnapping of corpses, hostage-taking, looting, the deliberate killing of civilians, women and children and the terrorist livestreaming of such things.

Compromised integrity: Medical professionals failed to uphold ethics and freedoms during covid  The pandemic exposed the shocking fragility of medical ethics and civil liberties. Fear, conformity and cowardice paved the way for unprecedented government overreach and the betrayal of patients. But it also provided a crucial wake-up call.

   Now is the time for the medical profession – and society as a whole – to confront its failures, to reaffirm its commitment to truth, ethics and human dignity. Echoing Desmet and McGilchrist, the path forward begins with the courage to speak truth in the face of power – to reclaim medicine as a noble profession dedicated not to the whims of governments but to the well-being of individuals.
