Pizzagate: If you replace the word β€œhot dog” with β€œlittle boy” and β€œpizza party” with β€œchild sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

Adriana Smith was dead. For 6 months, her corpse was kept on life support because of an abortion law demanding a fetus be carried to term. Because she didn’t get the care she deserved to begin with.

I can’t help but notice that every single time an LGBTQ+ person is killed in a high-profile hate crime, masses of people immediately rush in to explain why it could not possibly have been a hate crime, actually.

The day author Ren Wyld was due to receive the Black & Write $15k Indigenous fellowship she was told it had been rescinded. A journo from the Oz seemed to know before she did. Appalling to see QLD govt cave to Murdoch press to punish a First Nations writer for speaking out in support of Palestine.
