Lad on site from Southport today told me he was a Muslim, his house is around the corner from him and it's still all corded off, how true it is I dunno, he wasn't a young lad, probably late 50s early 60s the lad who told me. He also said and I've heard this a few times now, what actually kicked everything off was a bloke walking around the memorial thing in a balaclava and a machete, something you will never hear on the news either. Now what I do know is if this bloke was a white male that would have been in the news, the fact it isn't makes enough people think otherwise.

I thought it all kicked off because bus loads of EDL turned up chucking bricks and petrol bombs. Well thats what the pictures showed.

The news didnt report about the bloke with the machete because he wasnt white ? Sounds a bit conspiratorial.

How conspiracies pushed by Andrew Tate and Tommy Robinson led to Southport violence

On Monday after the knife attacks, a fake name was posted online and was interpreted by the far right as false proof the assailant was a Muslim migrant, despite police being quick to confirm that the 17-year-old was born in Cardiff. His religious beliefs are unknown.

Andrew Tate, with 9.8million followers on X, and Tommy Robinson, with almost 800,000 followers on the same app, posted messages and filmed videos pushing a narrative that the attacker was an “illegal” migrant

It worked as a red rag to a bull, whipping up anger among the far right. It led to a violent crowd gathering outside a mosque in Southport unconnected to the tragic killings and culminated in a mother who lost one of her children in the attack, a girl aged seven, desperately pleading for the group of thugs to disperse.

It’s been widely reported that the originator of the false name was the social media account for a largely unknown news website. It claims to be based in America but  research reveals it had earlier shared content published in Russian.

The first 32 videos on its YouTube account are in Russian. It’s then inactive for six years before changing to publishing a number of English-speaking clickbait videos using an AI-generated voice, before pivoting again to mute news clips since 2022.

The site published the fake name almost an hour later than the two accounts and then its posts have been widely amplified.

One of the largest incel forums, an online chat room for people who identify as involuntarily celibate, has seen a number of posts by users praising the attacker for targeting female victims.

Trump called a ‘grumpy, cruel, hard-of-hearing, race-baiting asshole’ after hostile NABJ interview

https://www.nj.com/politics/2024/07/trump-called-grumpy-cruel-hard-of-hearing-race-baiting-a-hole-after-hostile-nabj-interview.html

The National Association of Black Journalists had to beat back a revolt from its membership after inviting former president Donald Trump to a panel discussion at its annunal convention on Wednesday.

But the organization’s officers likely were vindicated when Trump self-destructed in a hostile, confrontational session in which he insulted them, questioned Vice President Kamala Harris’ Black heritage while accusing her of using it as a prop, while also making several factually incorrect statements.

Several times, audience members laughed at Trump’s answers.

While many NABJ members insisted that the organization refuse to give Trump a platform — especially given his history of racist rhetoric — Trump’s appearance provided an argument for the other side.

“This NABJ interview is a great example of why the people who demand that we de-platform Trump are wrong. People should see this!” former Republican political consultant Tim Miller tweeted. “A grumpy, cruel, hard-of-hearing, race-baiting, asshole having to actually answer for his track record in an environment outside of his comfort zone.”

Meanwhile, the Never-Trump Lincoln Project tweeted a photo of the Hindenburg disaster.

In addition, the interview appears to have been cut off sooner than planned.

“I think we have to leave it there, the Trump team told us to wrap,” ABC reporter Rachel Scott said.

April Ryan, a former White House correspondent who was insulted by Trump during his four years in office, called out her colleagues only minutes into the program:

“Why would the NABJ allow him to be on stage? Rachel Scott is so respected and asked a good question. He calls her ‘rude!’ Ryan tweeted.

She added: “Trump came into our home, a Black Press advocacy convention, and insulted us in our face. What is worse he was invited to do this by NABJ leadership. Shame!”

Trump claimed Harris, the first Black woman and Asian American to serve as vice president and the de facto Democratic presidential nominee after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race, had in the past only promoted her Indian heritage.

“So I’ve known her a long time, indirectly, not directly, very much,” Trump said. “And she was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black.

“So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black? I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t, because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden, she made a turn and she went, she became a Black, just to be clear, somebody should look into that too.”

Trump’s appearance at the organization’s annual gathering immediately became heated, with the former president sparring with interviewer Rachel Scott of ABC News and accusing her of giving him a “very rude introduction” with a tough first question about his past criticism of Black people and Black journalists, and his lie about former President Barack Obama not being born in the United States.

As he has many times, Trump insisted he has been “the best president for the Black population since Abraham Lincoln.''

“I’ve done so much for the Black population of this country, including employment, including opportunity zones, with Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, which is one of the greatest programs ever for Black workers and Black entrepreneurs,” he said. “I’ve done so much, and, you know, and I say this, historically Black colleges and universities were out of money. They were stone cold broke, and I saved them. I gave them long-term financing, and nobody else was doing it.”

According to PBS fact-checking:

“Trump signed the FUTURE Act in 2019. The act ensured that the original science, technology, engineering and math funding for HBCUs from then-President George W. Bush’s 2007 College Cost Reduction and Access Act would continue to be awarded without having to go back to Congress annually. The act ensured that HBCUs would receive an annual $255 million in STEM funding for the next 10 years.

It’s an exaggeration, however, to say that “nobody else was doing it.” In the House, Democrats were unanimous in their support, while two more Republicans voted against the bill than for it.

That statement is false projection.

Harris has never said vote for her because she is a woman.

Plenty of people smear her simply because she is a woman.

They also falsely attack her by calling her a DEI hire, a woman who has never done anything in her life, which is open racism.

She was the Attorney General of the largest State in the US, California, which if it was its own nation, would have the 4th highest GDP on the planet.

She also was a US Senator from California, and now the Vice President of the US, for what will be 4 years.

Yeah I saw that - just "the real person" on display there.

On even more chilling news:

Trump said: "Christians, get out and vote, just this time. "You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine, you won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians."

He added: "I love you Christians. I'm a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don't have to vote again, we'll have it fixed so good you're not going to have to vote," Trump said.

Likely a big part of the reason Trump is very reluctant to debate her. 😅

Sick fuckers 

Andrew Tate, in particular, is very dangerous. I dont think Europe is prepared for someone like him. When I first saw him speak, and looked him up, I knew what his true issue was(and its not with women) immediately. He was apparently kicked off of big brother for racially abusing our Ashley's wife for being with him. He's the textbook tragic mulatto, He's the living embodiment of the resentment his dad, rightfully I must add, felt about growing up in a jim crow America. He hates EVERYONE, including himself, and his modus operandi is simply to burn the world. If it wasnt the woman or muslims, or blacks, or race mixers, he'd find something else. You dont fix people like him.

 

You fix people like his dad, who felt making him would make his life better, and then quitting and running off when he realized it wouldnt.
