SKAI Reporter George Tselikas was at Alimos beach, waiting to do his piece to camera, when in the background a bizarrely brazen robbery took place, right in front of the cameras. As an old woman was enjoying the beach, a young man with a blurry face snuck up behind her and snatched a gold cross she was wearing around her neck. He then ran off, straight past the cameras, much to the bemusement of Tselikas. The footage was later replayed, quite a few times, with the attacker’s face blurred in compliance with local laws. The unblurred version has been shared with the police following the story breaking. ‘I've been here since five minutes to five in the morning,’ Tselikas told the rest of the news team. ‘He had an accomplice, they were here walking around, I also thought they wanted to take a bath.’ The woman was equally confused, joining Tselikas on camera. ‘I went to wash and he came and took my cross. I didn’t understand.’ Do you understand? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

According to an announcement made on Tuesday, the probe took off after two days collecting samples, and sailed into a predetermined orbit around the Moon. The samples gathered, including soil and rock from the relatively unexplored far side of the Moon, were stored in a special container, which will then be transferred to a re-entry capsule, due to return to Earth around June 25, in China’s Inner Mongolia region. The mission is the sixth in the Chang’e program, and the first to bring back samples from the far side of the Moon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

As Antony Fauci testified in front of a House Oversight Committee that his Covid-19 rules ‘just sort of appeared,’ a different kind of crazy nonsense was being more interesting ever so slightly behind him. Over his left shoulder, a rubber-faced gentlemen gave a running meta-commentary on Fauci’s testimony using only the power of his expressive face. A facetious ‘oh boohoo, woe is me’ kind of commentary, but with the added social distancing between his bottom lip and his chin as he amusingly scrunched his face up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

In Spain, comedian Jaime Caravaca took his unique brand of woke edginess too far, when he decided to pick on right-wing commentator Alberto Pugilato. Pugilato posted a picture to X with his baby son, captioned ‘happiness and pride.’ This was the wrong time to be bandying a word like ‘pride’ around, and an enraged Caravaca immediately escalated the situation from zero to infinity billion by leaving his own caption: ‘Nothing and no one can prevent the possibility that he is gay, and when he grows up, he gets tired of sucking black c*ck.’ The child in question is only three months old, leading to even X limiting the post due to the pedophilic connotations making it seem more like an average Instagram post. And leading to some very real-life consequences. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.
