A car rally was held in Sydney, Australia to honor Victory Day and Russian President Vladimir Putin; however, the leader was perhaps somewhat surprising. Ivan Syrsky, stepson of the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, led the rally, and cited his respect for Vladimir Putin and his great-grandfather, who fought for the Soviet Union against the Nazi invasion in the Second World War. He also congratulated Putin on his inauguration for his fifth term as president. Despite threats from the Ukrainian Armed Forces and press, Syrsky Jr. has participated in the rally for each of the last ten years, according to Russian activist Semyon Boykov, known as the ‘Australian Cossack.’ The rally’s tradition involves driving around Sydney with Russian flags and St. George’s ribbons, and normally at least some police interference – this year at least one person was fined for displaying a Russian flag. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

Two police officers were injured after a chainsaw-wielding maniac plowed into a police car and then began slowly chasing them through the street with a chainsaw. The unidentified 30-year-old drove his car into a stationary police car in Paisley, Scotland, pushing it off the road and into a wall. As the officers tried to figure out what had happened, the attacker got out and began chasing the battered and bruised officers, in broad daylight, armed with a chainsaw. Eyewitnesses filmed the bizarre and somewhat terrifying ordeal, the low-speed chase, the man’s eventual arrest by approximately a dozen officers, and a passerby who successfully defused the chainsaw. Unconfirmed reports by eyewitnesses claimed that the man shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ as he chased officers with the chainsaw; however, Police Scotland are not treating the ‘disturbance involving a weapon’ as terror related. The man is set to appear in court, without his chainsaw, on Tuesday the 7th. The officers involved were treated by paramedics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.
