I was back in an Irish court this morning — here's what happened
I’m writing to you from the town of Bray, where I spent this morning inside an Irish courtroom for the case of Kirk Loco — the man being prosecuted for a tweet.
You may remember Kirk’s story. He simply reposted a public warning from a woman who said a migrant man had exposed himself on a bus full of passengers, including a teenage girl. Instead of investigating the migrant, the police charged Kirk under their “fake news” censorship law. It is the first time that law has ever been used — and they are making an example of him.
I first flew to Ireland in February to meet Kirk and his principled lawyers, and to cover one of his earlier court hearings in person. Today I came back for his eighth court appearance, and I am glad I did, because there was real news.
The headline: the judge lifted the outrageous ban that stopped Kirk from attending any protest, anywhere. But he also refused to force the police to hand over key evidence — including the names of the five or six witnesses to what really happened on that bus.
Click here to read my full report on everything that happened in court today.
Kirk’s barrister, Laoise de Brún, brought two applications before Judge Mark O’Connell.
First, she challenged Kirk’s bail conditions. Incredibly, Kirk had been banned not only from going near IPAS centres — what they call refugee camps here — but from attending any political protest, on any subject, anywhere. He was even barred from the recent national protests against high fuel taxes.
Laoise argued that bail conditions must be reasonable and proportionate, and that a blanket ban on a citizen journalist’s right to assemble was neither.
The judge agreed the all-protest ban went too far. So that ban is now lifted, except at IPAS centres. After a single tweet two years ago, Kirk can finally attend a protest again. That is a real win.
Second, Laoise asked the court to order the Gardaí — the Irish police — to disclose their full evidence. The bus had CCTV. There were five or six witnesses. The police will not even share their names. To me, that is a cover-up, and it sets up an unfair trial. The judge declined, saying this is something to argue at the trial itself. Kirk’s ninth appearance is now set for September 25th.
None of this reporting is free. I flew here in economy class with my videographer to bring you the footage and the facts that RTÉ, Ireland’s taxpayer-funded broadcaster, never will. Please click here to help cover our travel costs. (By the way: not a single mainstream media journalist was in the court today. Perhaps they don’t want to reveal how much censorship there is in the Irish political and media system.)
And please also help fund Kirk’s legal defence — a conviction could mean real prison time, so he needs senior counsel for this fight. You can chip in at www.IrishFreeSpeech.com.
Yours truly,

P.S. Today was a partial victory: Judge O’Connell lifted the absurd ban that had stopped Kirk Loco from attending any protest anywhere in Ireland, restoring his basic right to assemble peacefully.
P.P.S. But the judge refused to order the Gardaí to release their evidence — the bus CCTV and the names of the five or six witnesses. The authorities want only one side of this story told. Rebel News will not let that happen — you can help Kirk fight back by funding his legal defence at www.IrishFreeSpeech.com.
P.P.P.S. I travelled to Dublin in economy class with my videographer to cover this case firsthand, just as I did in February, and we receive no government funding. If you can help with our travel costs, please click here or visit www.TheTruthAboutIreland.com.
Request For Help (Great Balls of Fire and Young Adults with Cancer)
Hello Friends!
As many of you already know, every year I hold an event called Great Balls of Fire in honour of my son who passed away from cancer, an effort that is becoming increasingly more important as cancer rates continue to rise among young people. (More specific details about this year's event will be sent out in future emails).
The purpose of this event is multifold:
· Raise money for Young Adult Cancer Canada
· Send young adults with cancer to a much needed survivor conference where they can connect with peers and other professionals who will provide them with much needed social and emotional support
· Collaborate with Movember and Testicular Cancer Canada to spread their message and information
· Raise awareness/educate about cancer in young adults and how their cancer experience is particularly unique
· Potentially discuss alternative therapies for cancer
· Celebrate life: enjoy fantastic bands, good food, silent auction, games and prizes
· Honour my son
At this time, I am looking for anyone who might be able to donate to our silent auction or potentially become a corporate sponsor of the event or maybe even volunteer to help. Any support would be greatly appreciated. This year, the event will be held at the Toboggan Restaurant on Saturday, November 14th.
I have attached some info. about cancer in young adults, our silent auction, some posters from previous events and my son's story as well as potential for corporate donations.
If any of you are able to offer anything to support this event, I would be beyond grateful.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Tanja

There are approximately 8300 young adults diagnosed with cancer in Canada every year. They are often the forgotten cancer population, and they need YOUR support.
Because we will never forget, the 2026 “Great Balls of Fire” fundraiser in memory of Nicholas Greeson will be held on Saturday, November 14, 2026.
Approximately five bands will be performing at the Toboggan Brewing Company to raise funds to support Young Adult Cancer Canada as well as raise awareness about young adult cancer; in particular, testicular cancer – the disease that cut Nicholas’ life short.
Will you donate to our auction today?
Your generosity will help support Young Adult Cancer Canada (https://youngadultcancer.ca/) as well as raise awareness about cancer in young adults. Your donation will not only help raise funds for a vital cause but also showcase your commitment to young adults that are facing life’s greatest challenge.
Tomorrow, 22 adolescents and young adults (AYA) will be diagnosed with cancer in Canada.
Their cancer experiences will be different than their younger and older peers. They are at a different stage of life; graduating school, buying houses, starting families, they face different challenges, and recovery will take longer than treatment for them.
Young Adult Cancer Canada (YACC), for 25 years, has strived to give voice and support to its members with the mission of supporting young adults living with, through, and beyond cancer. To be the connection to peers, bridge out of isolation, and be a source of inspiration.
Become a thread in the fabric that builds a safe landing net for a young adult living with, through and beyond cancer and help create an amazing and fun community event!
We will follow up with this request within two weeks. In the meantime, if you require any further information, please feel free to contact Tanja Zientara at 226 378 4461- tanjazientara@protonmail.com.
Thank you for your consideration of this donation request to support young adults with cancer and to help raise awareness and educate the public about cancer in young adults, including testicular cancer. We look forward to working with you to produce another successful and fun community musical event.
Yours sincerely,
Tanja Zientara
HISTORY:
WE INVITE YOU TO PARTNER WITH US
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to invite you to become a corporate sponsor of the 2024 “Great Balls of Fire” fundraiser to be held Saturday, October 19 starting at 5 pm. Approximately 6 bands will be performing at the Dawghouse: Pub and Eatery, 699 Wilkins Street, London, Ontario, 519 685 0640.
Your generosity will help support Young Adult Cancer Canada as well as educational programs about testicular cancer sponsored by Movember.
There are approximately 8000 young adults diagnosed with cancer in Canada every year. They are often the forgotten cancer population, and they need our support. Testicular cancer is one of the cancers that strikes young adult males; it is an extremely curable cancer, but 1 in 25 men diagnosed do succumb to the disease and more awareness and research into more effective treatments are crucial to saving more lives.
Great Balls of Fire began in 2016 but wasn’t reinstated until 2019 after the passing of my son, Nicholas Greeson, at the age of 23 who had battled testicular cancer for six years. Nick was a musician and we felt that this type of fundraiser was the most appropriate way in which we could honour our son, raise funds and raise awareness.
So far, we have been able to raise about $13 000 for four of our events. Unfortunately, we had to cancel our 2020 event due to lockdowns.
This year, we would love to up the ante and raise even more money. Hence, we have set an ambitious goal of $10 000 for one event. The proceeds will go to Young Adult Cancer Canada. Only with your support can we make this possible. If your company makes a donation, we will display your company name/logo on signage at our events, on any social media or on any post-event materials.
If you need time to consider this request, a follow up call will be made within two weeks from myself, Tanja Zientara. In the meantime, if you require any further information, please feel free to contact me at 226 378 4461 or at tanjazientara@protonmail.com.
Thank you for your consideration of our sponsorship request to support young adults with cancer and to help raise awareness as well as educate the public about testicular cancer. We look forward to working with you to produce another successful and fun musical event.
Yours sincerely,

Patrick Bestall’s INPUT:
#A.
How radical DEI policies are sacrificing classroom safety and merit at the altar of institutional optics.
For decades, the Ontario Teachers’ Federation (OTF) has been sounding the alarm. In their latest report, Teacher Recruitment, Retention, Supply and Demand in Ontario, they catalog a profession in freefall. We are witnessing record-high teacher attrition, a meteoric rise in the use of unqualified personnel to fill classrooms, and a palpable sense of burnout that is driving the best educators out the door.
The OTF correctly identifies some of the symptoms: deteriorating working conditions, a lack of support for early-career teachers, and an environment characterized by rising student mental health challenges and school violence.
But there is an elephant in the room that the OTF refuses to name. The document is a masterclass in bureaucratic deflection. It talks around the core issue without ever daring to look in the mirror. The reality is simple: The very policies the education establishment champions—Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)—are the primary engines of this collapse.
The “Suspension Gap” and the Death of Classroom Order
The report highlights the “deteriorating working conditions” and “rising incidents of school violence” as key reasons for teacher turnover. Any veteran educator knows exactly why this is happening.
We have entered an era where disciplinary policy is no longer about maintaining a safe, orderly environment for learning. Instead, it has been hijacked by a desire to manipulate statistics. When school boards push policies to lower suspension rates to avoid “disproportionately” impacting certain demographic groups, they aren’t fixing the behavior—they are abandoning the classroom.
When a student commits an act that mandates suspension, only to be back at their desk 20 minutes later, the message is clear: There are no consequences. This isn’t “equity”; it is a systemic betrayal of every student who is there to learn and every teacher responsible for maintaining order. When you prioritize ideological demographics over behavioral accountability, you guarantee that incidents will recur, and you ensure that the teacher, not the student, bears the full weight of the chaos.
This is what staff and students are seeing in schools. The ratios aren’t official, but you get the idea. This is what’s actually happening.
The Myth of “Equity-Deserving” and the Death of Merit
The OTF report laments that “members from equity-deserving communities” are under-represented in the hiring pool. In the eyes of the board, this is a crisis. In the eyes of anyone who believes in the integrity of the profession, it is irrelevant.
The only metric that should ever determine whether someone “deserves” a job in a classroom is merit. Can they teach the material? Can they command a room? Do they have the necessary expertise? By obsessing over demographic quotas, school boards have signaled that they prioritize the identity of the teacher over their competence.
This, predictably, leads to hiring practices that ignore the best candidates in favor of those who check the “right” institutional boxes. But look at where the “representation” logic ends. If the boards were genuinely concerned about representation because they believed it was “best for students,” they would be frantic about the glaring, historic absence of male teachers in the elementary system.
If 50% of the student population is male, where is the massive, systemic push to recruit men to provide necessary role models and disciplinary balance? The silence is deafening. This proves that the current “equity” push isn’t about what is best for students—it is about a narrow, ideological agenda that views the school system as a laboratory for social engineering.
From page 6 of the pdf. Who is ‘deserving?’ Shouldn’t this be decided by merit? Will lack of competence lead to constant classroom issues, more student violence, burnout, and teachers leaving the system? Of course it will!
The OTF is Part of the Problem
The OTF’s report is filled with recommendations for “fully funded” recruitment strategies, loan forgiveness, and more oversight committees. It is a plea for more money to solve a problem created by cultural rot.
They are asking for a solution to a fire that they helped set. You cannot fix a teacher retention crisis when you are actively undermining teacher authority, ignoring the necessity of merit-based hiring, and prioritizing the optics of demographic quotas over the safety of the classroom.
If we want to save Ontario’s schools, we must stop chasing “equity” and start prioritizing competence. We need to strip away the DEI mandates, return to consistent disciplinary accountability, and restore the dignity of the profession by hiring the best, regardless of their background.
Until the education establishment stops viewing teachers as foot soldiers for their social experiments and starts viewing them as professionals, the exodus will continue. And quite frankly, given the environment they’ve cultivated, who could blame them for leaving?
The Tide is Turning: How You Can Help
Change does not happen by accident; it happens through relentless pressure. For too long, “DEI Doug” Ford has operated under the false assumption that the public supports these radical mandates. He is wrong. The tide has turned. Global corporations are abandoning DEI in favor of actual merit, and our neighbors in Alberta have already taken the lead, banning DEI and Pride flags from their education system effective this September.
This proves that bold, corrective action is not only possible but popular. You have the power to force this shift in Ontario. Call your local MPP and tell them point-blank: you support the Alberta model, and you will only cast your vote for a party that commits to purging DEI from our schools. Click here for a list of contact information for all Ontario MPPs. Call the Premier’s office (416-325-1941) and deliver the same message—do not let him hide behind the myth that this agenda is popular.
Finally, research and support political parties that have explicitly pledged to remove DEI and Pride indoctrination from our classrooms. The future of our children—and the sanity of our teachers—depends on your voice.

MP Andrew Lawton & Bill C-16 (re deepfake sex photos)
Lawton said...social media companies increased their use of generative AI technology, allowing users to create sexualized images of others.
One amendment proposed by Lawton would require social media companies to remove illegal images from their platforms within 48 hours.
Another amendment would expand the definition of the images to include “nearly nude” images. Lawton said the original draft of the bill only covered images showing someone engaged in sexual activity or exposing sexual organs.

UFOs? God only knows.
Ontario-born priest who has performed exorcisms around the world, believes the UFO phenomenon is part of a larger spiritual deception designed to undermine Christianity and cast doubt on the Bible.
When I managed a station in Northern Ontario I had an announcer who quit summoning demons when he found out he and his friends could not control them as promised. Then he told me he was being followed by a UFO. He didn't believe me that it was the same spirit appearing in a different form.

Half UWO students use AI to pass exam?!!
“Instructions sent out a week prior to the exam, (explained) yes it’s online, it’s closed book, no proctoring,” he said. “But we still have rules and expectations, a code of conduct.
“I would never have thought as a student to cheat in my lifetime.”
In the academic world cheating is “widely known, widely accepted and widely admitted by students,” Shelley said.
“The response you get from students when you ask them is ’define cheating’ because it has become so normalized across the university,” he said. “I have lots of students who talk about this and feel compelled to cheat – to remain competitive.”
Shelley said his big concern is that Western doesn’t have adequate policies to prevent cheating.
“There is no real attempt to address this – we’re not doing anything about it. We’re accepting it,” he said. “We’re wilfully blind to it.”
Shelley also said this year he saw the poorest attendance in his classroom he has ever seen.
“Students are just not coming to class . . . in my class of 288, one week I had 104 (attend),” he said. “They just don’t care anymore, I think it has to do with the cultural changes of AI, the economy, lack of jobs, nevertheless they are not coming.”
