[RT] ‘Patriots' hold huge rally in central London (VIDEOS)
Thousands of people marched through London on Saturday in a large-scale demonstration organized by right-wing activist Tommy Robinson. Multiple arrests were made after some protesters clashed with police and left-wing counter-demonstrators.

Billed as the “biggest patriotic rally the UK has ever seen,” Robinson’s ‘Uniting the Kingdom’ march drew crowds of Union Jack-wearing demonstrators to the British capital. The march set off from the Royal Courts of Justice – where Robinson was arrested for refusing to leave a pro-Israel demonstration in November – and concluded at Trafalgar Square, where Robinson and other activists delivered speeches.

While most attendees sang patriotic slogans such as “England ‘till I die” many chanted anti-Islam slogans such as “Who the f**k is Allah?” and “You can stick your f**king Islam up your arse.”

Robinson drew heavily on anti-immigrant and anti-Islam themes, telling supporters that Britons would be “replaced no longer,” and describing the existence of Pakistani ‘grooming gangs’ as a “stain” on Britain’s history.

Robinson claimed that 100,000 people showed up at the rally, but this figure could not be verified.

A group of left-wing protesters assembled at nearby Whitehall, and were kept apart from Robinson’s followers by police. Some scuffles were reported, however, and police officers arrested two men for allegedly attacking a leftist demonstrator. Two more men were arrested for “racially aggravated public order” offenses, while on the left-wing side, four people were arrested at a pub in Whitehall for allegedly assaulting police officers.

London’s Metropolitan Police said in a statement that they would investigate “racist and anti-Muslim” language used by Robinson’s followers.

In a video posted to his X account after the rally, Robinson described the day as an “absolute success.” However, his decision to end the event with a screening of his documentary ‘Silenced’ could potentially result in a jail sentence.

Robinson was ordered by a judge not to release the film, in which he claims that a Syrian student who was attacked at a Yorkshire secondary school in 2018 had a lengthy record of attacking female students. Robinson was sued for libel by the student, Jamal Hijazi, and ordered to pay £100,000 ($128,500) in damages in 2021.

“I’ll be jailed for two years for showing the inconceivable truth,” Robinson told the crowd in London. The activist is already due in court on Tuesday, where he faces contempt charges for releasing the documentary.

International-UN-NGOs
Tech company pulls Olympics advertising after opening ceremony display many deem to be anti-Christian
[FoxBusiness] Mississippi-based C Spire pulled its advertising after being 'shocked by the mockery of the Last Supper' during the 2024 Olympic Opening Ceremony

The 2024 Olympic Ceremony opened up the games in Paris, France on Friday night, providing spectators with a taste of French culture and blasphemous art, leading to Christians around the world being offended and at least one sponsor dropping out.

Mississippi-based telecommunications and technology company C Spire posted on X that it had pulled all of its advertising from the Olympics over the ceremony’s mockery of painting created to show a biblical moment crucial to the Christian faith.

"We were shocked by the mockery of the Last Supper during the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics," the company posted. "C Spire will be pulling our advertising from the Olympics."

The four-hour spectacle was held along the Seine River, featuring global stars like Celine Dion and Lady Gaga, both of whom are considered icons for the queer community.

Drag Queen Nicky Doll, who competed in the 12th season of "RuPaul’s Drag Race" and has hosted "Drag Race France," participated in a fashion runway segment with "Drag Race France" Season 1 winner Paloma, Season 3’s Piche, and Giselle Palmer.

The queens initially stood alongside the runway while gazing at the strutting models, then later joined in and showcased their own style.

Among their performances was a scene that appeared to evoke Leonardo da Vinci’s "The Last Supper," featuring the drag queens and other performers in a configuration reminiscent of Jesus Christ and his apostles, which drew significant attention and mixed reactions, not just from C Spire, but people around the world. Da Vinci's widely admired masterwork is in Milan, Italy.

Thomas Jolly, the artistic director of the opening ceremony, afterward drew attention away from "The Last Supper" references, saying that hadn’t been his intention.

"Our idea was inclusion," Jolly said during an International Olympic Committee media briefing. "Naturally, when we want to include everyone and not exclude anyone, questions are raised.

"Our subject was not to be subversive. We never wanted to be subversive. We wanted to talk about diversity. Diversity means being together," he added. "We wanted to include everyone, as simple as that. In France, we have freedom of creation, artistic freedom. We are lucky in France to live in a free country."

Paris 2024 President Tony Estanguet also weighed in.

"We imagined a ceremony to show our values and our principles, so we gave a very committed message," he said. "The idea was to really trigger a reflection. We wanted to have a message as strong as possible.

"Having said that – it is a French ceremony for the French games – so we trusted our artistic director," Estanguet said. "We have freedom of expression in France, and we wanted to protect it."

Olympic Opening ceremony fallout news roundup for July 27th, 2024
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
Peskov calls some moments of the 2024 Olympic Games opening ceremony disgusting
[Regnum] Some moments included in the program of the opening ceremony of the XXXIII Summer Olympic Games in Paris are disgusting, said the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov.

"I saw various extracts and so on, that is, I made most of it myself, I personally watched it. Indeed, there were absolutely disgusting moments," Izvestia quotes him as saying.

Peskov noted that the opening ceremony of the Olympics is being coordinated with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which, by allowing such disgusting moments to enter the scenario, has taken a “dangerous path.”

Certain episodes of the event in question contradict the legislation of the Russian Federation, Peskov emphasized.

“We can only be glad that our viewers didn’t see this,” he added.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris took place on July 26. In addition to promoting the so-called Western agenda, the event was accompanied by a number of incidents - from raising an inverted Olympic flag to the mistaken presentation of South Korea as the DPRK.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stressed that the Olympic opening ceremony demonstrated that the West no longer has a common moral foundation.

The event was also criticized by member of the Russian Federation Council Alexey Pushkov. According to him, the ideology of the opening of the Olympic Games in Paris is saturated with elements of an ultra-liberal approach to values ​​and social guidelines that divide society. Russian mixed martial artist, UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev called the Games in Paris a disgrace and a dark spot on the Olympic movement.

Makhachev called the Paris Games a disgrace and called for the Olympics to be returned to Russia
The opening ceremony of the Games in Paris became a dark spot on the Olympic movement, the Olympics need to be returned to Russia. This was stated on July 27 by Russian mixed martial artist, the champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in lightweight Islam Makhachev.

"The Paris Games are a disgrace and a dark spot on the Olympic movement. We must bring them back to Russia to fix everything," he wrote on social media.

The athlete attached a video comparing the opening ceremonies of the Games in Paris and the 2014 Olympics in Sochi.

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, which took place on the Seine River in Paris, provoked a mixed reaction from viewers. In Greece, the event was called a “collapse of civilization.” MEP Marion Maréchal Le Pen described the episodes presented during the presentation as a desperate attempt to extol the values ​​of sport in an era of “woke culture.”

American entrepreneur Elon Musk called the transvestite parody of Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" shown at the opening ceremony a blatant disrespect for Christians.

In addition, the opening ceremony of the Games in Paris was remembered for the singing severed head of Marie Antoinette and the "horseman of the Apocalypse" galloping along the Seine River.

Zakharova called the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris a massive failure
The opening ceremony of the Olympics in Paris turned into a massive failure. This was stated on July 27 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

In her Telegram channel, she drew attention to a number of odd moments. The diplomat wrote that on the eve of the opening of the Olympics, French authorities detained a chef of Russian origin, accusing him of espionage and attempting to disrupt the event.

"I wonder how many more 'spies' had to be planted to ensure that the opening of the Olympics in Paris was such a massive failure? This is not rock bottom. This is the bottom of the Seine," Zakharova emphasized.

The diplomat admitted that she had not planned to watch the opening, but when she saw the photo, she could not believe that it was not a deepfake or Photoshop. The representative of the foreign policy department called the open-air opening ceremony ridiculous because spectators were forced to sit for hours in the pouring rain, while the organizers did not provide any cloud dispersal or awnings.

Zakharova also pointed to the transport collapse that hit Paris on the opening day of the 2024 Games, and the rats that flooded the streets of the French capital. The apotheosis was the mockery of a sacred Christian subject - "The Last Supper" - the last supper of Christ, where the apostles were portrayed by transvestites, the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted.

As reported by IA Regnum, several incidents occurred during the opening ceremony of the Olympics. Thus, the Olympic flag was installed on the flagpole upside down and raised in the same position. After that, the banner was immediately lowered and returned to the correct position.

When a boat carrying the South Korean team was sailing along the Seine, the South Korean athletes were confused with the DPRK team.

In addition, the press conference before the opening ceremony of the Games was suddenly cancelled. Journalist Rob Harris reported on July 26 that the leadership of the organizing committee did not explain the reasons for this decision.

On the day of the opening ceremony of the Olympics, there was a disruption in the high-speed Train à Grande Vitesse (TGV) service. According to the BFMTV television channel, several arson attacks occurred at railway facilities. Transport Minister Patrice Vergriete called the incident a coordinated malicious act. On the same day, the terminal of the French-Swiss Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg airport, also known as EuroAirport, was temporarily closed and evacuated.

Greece calls Paris Olympics opening ceremony a "collapse of civilization"
The collapse of civilization and Christian culture in Western Europe was demonstrated by the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris. This was reported on July 26 by the Greek portal pronews. gr.

As the portal explains, the presence of transvestites at the opening ceremony of the Olympics, who tried to pass themselves off as Jesus Christ and his disciples at the Last Supper, caused a strong reaction among the audience. The transvestites grouped themselves into a composition similar to the one depicted in the world-famous painting by Leonardo.

“This clearly demonstrates the complete collapse of Western civilization, the transformation of the Olympic festival and its ideals into a parade of transgender people,” the portal notes.

In turn, MEP Marion Maréchal, niece of one of the leaders of the French National Rally party Marine Le Pen, who watched the opening of the 2024 Games, reacted with anger to the opening ceremony of the Olympics, noting that the well-staged scenes were simply lost between the beheaded Marie Antoinette, transvestites and a kissing couple.

"I am watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games with my children. It is difficult to appreciate the few good scenes, between the beheading of Marie Antoinette, the kissing couple, the transvestites, the humiliation of the Republican Guard forced to dance with Aya Nakamura, and the general ugliness of the costumes and choreography," Le Pen explained.

According to Marion Maréchal, it is a hopeless attempt to praise the values ​​of sport and the beauty of France against the backdrop of such crude propaganda of woke culture (woke culture or cancel culture).

"Know that this is not France speaking, but a left-wing minority ready for any provocation," Maréchal wrote.

At the same time, pro-government media in Greece praised the opening ceremony of the Olympics, saying that "the French wanted to combine history, culture, art with today and diversity," and the long-awaited opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on the Seine River "delivered a stunning finale."

Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the organizers hung the Olympic flag upside down.

For the first time in the history of the Games, the parade of delegations took place not at the stadium, but on the Seine River, which flows through Paris.

On July 26, the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee cancelled a press conference ahead of the opening ceremony without explanation. The decision was announced less than 20 minutes before the briefing was to begin.

Russian and Belarusian athletes were allowed to participate in the 2024 Olympics only in a "neutral status" if they met a number of criteria. This decision was made in December 2023 by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

The organizers of the Games refused to allow athletes who publicly supported the Russian special operation or have contracts with security forces in the Russian Federation to participate in the competition. On July 18, the IOC published a list of 15 Russian athletes who were allowed to participate in the 2024 Olympics.

Drag queens shine at Olympics opening, but 'Last Supper' tableau draws criticism:

In an unprecedented display of inclusivity, drag queens took center stage at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, showcasing the vibrant and influential role of the French LGBTQ+ community.

The actual footage is pretty disgusting. I'll let someone else post if they can stomach it.

Olde Tyme Religion
The Explorer Apostle
[FE] In Chapter 2 of Acts, Jesus Christ instructs the Apostles to go out and spread the good news to the four corners of the earth. Millions have accepted this mission to varying degrees, but missionary David Livingstone took it as a full-on challenge.

David was born into poverty in 1813, the middle of seven children raised in purely industrial areas. His father, a British tea salesman, served as a Sunday school teacher and inspired his middle child to serve the church.

Hell-bent on bringing heaven to earth, Livingstone dedicated himself to expanding the Kingdom of Heaven to areas of the world with the least exposure to the word of God. During his time in seminary, he pondered in which of the four corners of the world he would serve. At first he focused his attention on ministering in China, but due to the First Opium War, those plans fell through. He shifted to India, only to be turned away as a result of India being in good supply of missionaries and doctors. Finally he focused his attention to the Dark continent, which at the time, was damn near unknown. By 1839, he was granted passage to South Africa via the London Missionary Society.

Arriving in Cape Town, South Africa in 1841, Livingstone wasted no time in setting out for the badlands. His first posting was 1000 miles north to Kuruman, and it didn’t take long for him to request funding to explore drastically untouched areas deep within the continent. With every request sent to the London Missionary Society, money and prayers were sent back.

In the bush, his biblical knowledge only would get him so far. He learned the required skills to survive. Hunting, trapping, building, rucking, and mastery of the rifle were all needed unless he was scheduling his appointment with God early.

Within a decade, he had established himself not just as a missionary willing to bear the weight of several crosses, but as an adventurer who was slowly but surely traversing more square footage of uncharted territory than anyone else. By this point, the Royal Geographic Society had already used his information in the mapping of southern Africa, including major and minor waterways, lakes, inlets and tribal information.

Lithium Battery Fire Strands CA Drivers on Blazing Hot Highway for Hours
[Breitbart] A lithium battery fire on California’s I-15 left drivers stranded for hours in the blazing heat on Saturday.

Heat on the highway reached as high as 109-degrees on Saturday as “authorities struggled to extinguish a fire involving a truck carrying lithium ion batteries that had overturned on Friday,” reported the New York Times.
Not just a single car having a problem at the side of the road, then.

Archaeologists from Spain have found the remains of one of the oldest people in Europe
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The remains of one of the most ancient archaic people in Europe were found by Spanish archaeologists during excavations in the Sierra de Atapuerca mountain range, Gran Dolina. This was reported on July 26 in a press release from the Catalan University of Human Paleoecology and Social Revolution.

The remains were discovered 30 years after excavations began at a small testing site. The first remains of this human species, thousands of fossils and animal fossils had been found there.

The research team managed to penetrate deeper into the surface of one of the blocks and there found the remains of a human ancestor who lived 850 thousand years ago. It is specified that fragments of skull bones, ribs, vertebrae, as well as a tooth of particular interest to anthropologists were found. It is assumed that it belonged to a 25-year-old woman whose remains archaeologists found in this region.

In the caves of Gran Dolina in the 1990s, archaeologists found the remains of six people, as well as animal bones and stone tools dating back 780,000 years. The people found were classified as the fossil species Homo antecessor, or the ancestral man. In Europe, this species is the oldest representative of the genus "man".
H. antecessor is possibly the common ancestor of H. sapiens and H.neanderthalensis. Possibly H. heidelbergensis is in there, too. Hopefully they’ll find more fossils to study soon — the suspense is killing me.
Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that a group of paleontologists from the Australian Curtin University discovered a new species of large pterosaurs that lived in the Late Cretaceous period about 100 million years ago.

On June 2, an international team of scientists discovered a previously unknown new species of dinosaur in Zimbabwe. Archaeologists found their remains on the shores of Lake Kariba and named the lizards Musankwa sanyatiensis.

Paleontologists at the Argentine Museum of Natural Sciences reported on May 23 the discovery of a new species of carnivorous dinosaur in Patagonia. The lizards lived during the Cretaceous period about 69 million years ago, and scientists have named them Koleken inakayali.
