Links - 25th October 2026 (2 - Cornell "Rape")

Meme - Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul: "Choosing to have a drink is not consent, and it’s never a license for sexual assault. New York law should reflect that. I support closing the voluntary intoxication loophole and will work with the Legislature to get it done."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know: "There is no law in New York saying choosing to drink means consenting to sex. Current New York law says voluntary intoxication does not invalidate an individual's ability to give consent, as it does not meet the state's standard of "mentally incapacitated"."

Covfefe Anon on X - "The actual governor of NY State is retarded
"choosing to have a drink is not consent"
Yes - her consenting was consent
The excuse is "she couldn't consent because she was intoxicated" *which isn't even legally true* (as the community note points out)
I assume she'll be "working with the legislature" to fully implement the "all sex is rape" law so we can finally have a legal regime that reflects liberal emotions"

Random HVAC Guy 🇺🇸 on X - "“I never lie” This is why i believe that Jane Doe is lying. She claimed she was 10 shots in and too drunk to consent to anything and yet she’s 100% sure that her recollection is the truth because she “never lies”. Anyone who says they never lie, is lying."

Mario Nawfal on X - "🇺🇸 The Cornell “Jane Doe” story just got another pretty significant twist. Moonies Bar, which Jane Doe is suing for allegedly serving her alcohol while visibly intoxicated, says it didn't serve her alcohol at all. She was 20 at the time. That also lines up with fraternity member Matthew Ingalls' account that she told him she was sober before arriving at the fraternity house, something she disputed in a recorded call. Every new detail in this case seems to raise more questions about the original story. So what actually happened?

Stephen L. Miller on X - "It's their new hands up don't shoot and has everything to do with engineering midterm outcomes."

Marine’s family reports threats after ‘Cornell 7’ lawsuit mix-up - "A Marine Corps sergeant’s family said they have been subjected to abuse after the service member was served with a lawsuit meant for one of the accused in a Cornell University sexual assault case — all because the two share the same name. Sgt. Matthew Ingalls, 23, is a New York native, and he has never attended the Ivy League university. He was also already serving on active duty in the Marine Corps at the time of an alleged October 2024 assault that has put Cornell in the national spotlight. But when his family answered a knock at the door of their New York home the evening of Sept. 26, his mother, Victoria Ingalls, was handed a 101-page civil lawsuit intended for someone with the same name as her son, The Free Press first reported Thursday. The intended recipient was among the seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity accused of sexually assaulting a female student. “My family’s been terrorized, threatened, and harassed,” Victoria Ingalls told The Free Press. The family had begun receiving unusual messages just before the lawsuit arrived, Ingalls told Stars and Stripes in an interview Saturday. “[Matthew] started getting a lot of messages asking him if he ever went to Cornell, calling him a rapist, all kinds of crazy aggressive messages,” Victoria said. “Then my daughter was getting messages as well, and she didn’t know what was going on.”... She said telling people they had contacted the wrong family did not always stop the messages. “The people that are posting his address, that are saying, ‘I will find you. I will end you. I will kill you,’ types of things are the scariest,” Ingalls said. Victoria Ingalls said the family has received a slew of threatening texts after the family’s phone numbers were leaked. Several to her 26-year-old daughter additionally portrayed threats of death and assault."
Rapists need to be held accountable!!!
Harassment, much less of unquestionably innocent people, is good when it pushes the left wing agenda

Michael Shermer on X - "Cornell reports "35% of surveyed undergraduate women experienced nonconsensual sexual contact involving physical force, threats, or incapacitation while enrolled at the university." This is a shocking figure. Is Cornell closing? Has the National Guard been invoked? Why are women still attending? Why are parents still paying for their daughters to attend? There's something off here."

Bridget Ayers on X - "Cornell Hearing Panel Decision - New Details, Conflicting Accounts & Physical Evidence
So far, I’ve worked through Jane Doe's civil complaint, the DA's summary of her six-page sworn statement, reported portions of her two-day police interview, excerpts from Cornell's Title IX investigation and now a heavily redacted, 99-page Cornell Hearing Panel Decision. This report filled in some gaps, but was also difficult to navigate with all the redactions. Cornell's investigation was extensive, more than 50 interviews involving 32 witnesses, followed by a multi-day hearing in May 2025. The panel applied a preponderance of the evidence, or “more likely than not,” standard, not the criminal standard of beyond a reasonable doubt.
Invitations, Body Flexes & a Negative Drug Test:
- Doe described having strong romantic and sexual feelings for Ingalls and later described that attraction as having a “chokehold” on her, saying she would have done “anything to please [him].”
- The panel considered the first threesome consensual. The decision also says Doe and one of the two men were already friends and had engaged in sexual activity together previously. Based on the chronology, I believe that person is Newell, although the name is redacted.
- Whether Doe took ketamine around the time of that first threesome was disputed.
- Doe acknowledged she had no independent memory of taking it the first time. Her belief that she did, came from taking ketamine later and remembering thinking, essentially, I've already done this once tonight.
- The men gave conflicting accounts. At one point, one said Doe declined ketamine and they didn't push her. Later, he testified that they offered it and “she chose to take it.” The panel ultimately found it more likely than not that she did take ketamine during that earlier period.
The panel found Doe's inability to remember taking it consistent with the effects of ketamine and viewed that as supporting her credibility, while inconsistencies in the men's accounts reduced theirs.
This report brings more clarity to the timeline:
~1:00 a.m., Lopes enters.
Just after 2:00 a.m., another man enters and consumes ketamine off Doe's body.
~2:15 a.m., another enters, kisses Doe and consumes ketamine off her body.
~2:30 a.m., additional respondents enter.
~5:00 a.m., Doe, Ingalls and Lee leaving the alumni room for the fourth-floor “Pentz” and then the smaller “foffice”. After the final sexual encounter, Doe slept in one man's bed before returning to her residence.
The report also provides more context for the Snapchat message. “Free pussy in alum pu”. The panel concluded that “alum” meant the alumni room and “pu” meant “pull up” - in other words, an invitation to come to the room.
The panel didn't necessarily find every man who entered the room sexually assaulted Doe. For at least one respondent, the panel concluded that simply going to the room because of the Snapchat message constituted attempted sexual exploitation. Its reasoning was that he understood a woman was likely nude or engaged in sexual activity and entered intending to observe it without her knowledge or consent.
Ketamine off her body
This section gets especially messy because the accounts conflict. Doe said she agreed when one man asked to take ketamine off her body. She described lying down and covering her face while multiple people subsequently took drugs off her body. Because her face was covered, however, she couldn't actually identify everything everyone did. She later described two of the men as essentially “voyeurs”, except that she believed they had also done drugs off her body. One man's account was very different. He said two men entered, introduced themselves and Doe invited them in. He said they heard about others doing ketamine off her chest, asked Doe whether they could do the same, “She said yeah, so they did.” That same account contains another detail I haven't seen discussed much:
Doe reportedly got out of the bed and began doing a “bodybuilder pose.” Another account describes her “flexing her muscles to everybody in the room.”
These accounts of what Doe was doing and communicating during portions of a period are described very differently in her civil complaint. The complaint alleges that when additional men entered, Doe hid her naked body under the sheets and “felt as if there was no way for her to escape this room full of predatory, fraternity men.” It later alleges that she became “completely incapacitated.” Her attorney has similarly described her as “intoxicated to the point of incapacity.”
And then there's the drug test. One respondent consistently denied taking ketamine in the room. He submitted an Omega Laboratories hair-follicle test, with the sample collected November 26, 2024. It came back negative for ketamine. He testified that laboratory personnel told him ketamine could remain detectable in hair for three to six months. Another person testified that a different testing company told him hair testing could detect ketamine for up to 90 days. The panel considered that negative test along with the conflicting witness accounts and concluded there was insufficient evidence to establish that this respondent had consumed ketamine off Doe's body. That's significant because Doe said he had. It doesn't mean Doe was lying. Her own account explains why identification would be difficult; she said her face was covered while multiple people were around her. But it is an example of an allegation being tested against other evidence and the evidence not supporting it sufficiently even under Cornell's lower more-likely-than-not standard.
In some places, the panel believed Doe over the respondents. In others, it found the evidence insufficient to substantiate what she believed happened. In still others, it found misconduct that wasn't sexual assault, including attempted sexual exploitation based on why someone entered the room. And that's probably the most useful thing about reading the actual decision. There are consensual sexual encounters. There are disputed sexual encounters. There are admitted drugs. Disputed drugs. Memory gaps. Contradictory statements. Snapchat messages. People entering and leaving. Witnesses describing Doe talking, laughing, and interacting. Doe describing periods of dissociation and missing memory. And at least one piece of objective evidence, a negative drug test, that caused the panel to reject part of an allegation. And it's exactly why I keep reading the documents instead of picking a side from the headlines."
Even with the reduced standard they didn't think there was rape. But of course the lynch mob doesn't care

Nation's College Students Worried Cornell Incident Will Ruin Ketamine-Fueled Campus Orgies For Everyone Else | Babylon Bee

‘Cornell 7’ frat bro claimed accuser ‘sodomized’ him, school didn’t care he was sex-assault ‘survivor’ - "“You received information that I was sodomized by her while I was incapacitated back in November, and you never once thought to alert me of my rights under these procedures as a survivor of this assault?” Ingalls said in the February 2025 missive to Cornell’s Title IX office and obtained by ABC. “The very fact that I had to bring this to your attention now in February confirms my worst fears: that this process is rolled [sic] with gender discrimination”... Ingalls was also drinking and drugging heavily that night — with a 2024 statement from Doe describing how he kept falling asleep during the encounter before waking up to rejoin the alleged assault."
Left wingers are sexist hypocrites so they just apply double standards to this. Victims are only to be believed when they push the left wing agenda

Thread by @ASFleischman on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "So let's talk about the degrees of rape in New York, what is required for each, and why Jane Doe's statements to police make this an unappealing prosecution. And to get ahead of this: things can be both hard to prosecute under existing law and morally wrong.
New York has three degrees of rape:
First degree: Requires forcible compulsion or being "physically helpless." Physically helpless means unconscious or unable to communicate consent. She was conscious. She said "what happened to just you and me." Not helpless under NY law.
Second degree rape requires being mentally incapacitated or disabled. But New York law excludes consensual intoxication. So if you snort ketamine, get drunk, and have sex, you are not disabled. Someone has to slip it to you. No second degree.
Third degree rape requires sex with who does not consent. Victim must CLEARLY state lack of consent. Here, by victim's own account, she does not seem to clearly state lack of consent.
Ok, so this is not a case of prosecutors refusing to bring a case because they're just assholes who hate women. New York law requires that a woman be either physically helpless OR drugged against her will OR clearly deny consent. Hard to say any of those apply here BRD. That's not to say it's completely hopeless. You could bring a first degree charge here and say that at some point late in the night, probably during that last threesome, she become physically incapable of consent. But much easier if you can say she was drugged, not a user. And by far the worst fact is that it seems whenever Jane Doe indicated a lack of consent, the sex stopped. That fucks prosecutors on both first degree (she can say no) and third (she chose not to).
I think that if charges are brought against these men, they will probably reach a favorable plea bargain or be acquitted. Maybe there's some federal angle I'm not considering. But this does seem to be a very defensible case that prosecutors were right to spurn.
To anyone out there who strongly disagrees with me, just let me know which degree of rape you would charge for which sex act, so we can compare it with the victim's statement. If it can't clear THAT hurtle, imagine how hard it is once the defendants present their evidence. And, to close out, you definitely shouldn't have sex with a girl along with your six of your buddies after she had a bunch of drinks and some ketamine. You should get her back home, or to a private room, and guard the door. This was disgraceful."

Cornell’s Jane Doe is ‘terrified’ after death threats and a swatting incident, her lawyer says
When people talk about Jane Doe being Lucy Craig, we get told that that's fake news, that no one knows who she is, that it's been proven Lucy Craig is not her, that the person who exposed her admitted he was wrong (even if two people independently did so) etc. Yet there have been no stories about someone being wrongly exposed, and the real Jane Doe is getting threats despite no one else being identified as her. So we can conclude that that's really her

Keith Woods on X - "The picture emerging of this girl is a quirk chungus, derpy hicklib who, based on her morphology, has a rather masculine disposition. It's probably because of said disposition that she misread female social dynamics and expected there would be no "slut shaming" from the sisterhood if she did something sexually adventurous like an orgy. The fact that she thought the men involved were gay/bi was added lib status, which as a pride "ally" she must have assumed would especially protect her from social shame – when she first noticed people were speaking negatively of the act, she text a friend words to the effect that this was part of the sexual liberation movement and "is going to become more common" The timeline then seems clear: she was disinvited from a Halloween party because of the reputation she earned as a slut, which she then realised was a view not confined to bigoted men. When she read a comment of someone saying she was raped, she must have immediately clocked this as a possible out to absolve her of accountability and regain her social status. In her own account, she had never conceived of it in this way until she read it from someone else. At that point, members of the sisterhood encouraged her suggestions that she was not actually responsible for anything. "Slut shaming" still exists among sexuall liberated women, but it is at odds with their professed beliefs about sexuality. Women are expected to pick up on this nuance and push for as much female power as possible while also enforcing shaming to discourage any individual lowering female sexual market value through extreme promiscuity. But, the sisterhood has also built an out, and now any woman can just withdraw consent reotrospectively, undo the wrong, and receive an even greater status as a victim."

ಎर on X - "She was disinvited the next time because she is not a looker. Hence low status for the men….so one off….she wrongly assumed that this one act would give her the opening/status that genetics has deprived her….it is what it is…"

Gamerealist on X - "Women’s PR has just been on a downward spiral this whole year. It’s been on a downward spiral since the internet, but I feel like someone just pressed the accelerate button. Women just CAN’T take responsibility and should be relieved of any authority. The Cornell 7 girl is even suing her sorority for not stopping her."

Thread by @memeticsisyphus on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "The Cornell case is funny because they had verbal consent with witnesses and written consent after the fact through text messages and that’s probably more proof of consent than any sexual encounter anyone has ever had yet half the country still thinks they’re rapists. If the woman in question saying nothing was illegal and enjoyed herself the following day isn’t enough to convince you literally nothing could."
A common cope is that trauma affects memory. Weird how that means her later memory of being raped is accurate but her earlier memory that it was consensual is not. If trauma really affects memory to that extent, that means alleged victim testimony should all be thrown out because it's unreliable. But of course the version of memory that pushes the left wing agenda must be reliable and if you don't believe that, you are a rape apologist and indeed a rapist yourself. Logic is a red flag for feminists

True Discipline on X - "Another funny thing I have noticed is the way women are saying the men can't be the victims because they did this or that. If these same people were discussing a female rape accuser, any illogical behavior would be swept away with saying it was trauma response."
Kazuo Furintoyama on X - "It's almost as if they don't really believe in anything except whatever is convenient for them in the moment."

Michael Tracey on X - "Hey @TMZ this idea of "repressed memory" Harvey keeps invoking is total bunk. She described a consensual "gang bang" in the immediate aftermath, but then later unearthed memories that it was actually "gang rape"? That makes zero sense. "Trauma" = not a "get out of jail free" card"
Michael Tracey on X - "Whenever anyone tries to claim that alleged "victims" can be so "traumatized" that they "repress" their memories of the alleged victimizing incident, only to "recover" those lost memories weeks/months/years later, send them this quote from Harvard professor Richard McNally (2005)"
"The notion that traumatic events can be repressed and later recovered is the most pernicious bit of folklore ever to infect psychology and psychiatry. It has provided the theoretical basis for "recovered memory therapy" -- the worst catastrophe to befall the mental health field since the lobotomy era."

Mr Gus on X - "For ideological women, shitty disrespectful sex is "rape". That's where we get one in three woman are rape "survivors ". More "rape" than in the Rape of Nanjing, ISIS controlled Syria, or African tribal wars."
Dark Pascual on X - "From what I've read about the case (admittedly, not as much), I just find everybody involved stupid and disgusting. But criminal? Not really. What baffles me is that advising "do not drink so much that your judgement is impaired and practice some restraint" is now misogyny."
Hux on X - "Because feminists want consent to be an ethereal tingling feeling that women possess only in their minds and which can, at any moment, be redefined, reinterpreted, removed, under any circumstance, and that this special feeling should, without fail, be taken seriously by the law."
When left wingers proclaim that consent can be revoked at any time, they mean after the fact, too (the cope is that trauma affects memory and actions and you can't find a "perfect victim", which amounts to the same thing). This case is also proof that jokes about getting explicit consent, even in writing, before you do the deed kinda fall flat, since even that can't save you from a false accusation

Jane Doe texted with Cornell frat bro to find 'jealous' rat gossiping about them - "The Cornell student accusing seven frat brothers of gang raping her had worked with one of them to try to find the “rat” talking about them having sex at a party — claiming they needed to “grow up” and be more open-minded about what went on, according to a fresh batch of text messages. Just four days after the Chi Phi fraternity party where the student now claims she was drugged and raped, Jane Doe texted student Matthew Ingalls in a panic claiming “everybody knows” about them having sex , leavin her “incredibly stressed out,” messages obtained by TMZ show. Ingalls sympathized after the accuser complained about some “random bitch” telling her friends. “Dude I have no f—king idea, this sh-t is incredibly frustrating and I know how fast nonsense spreads at this school,” responded Ingalls, who later claimed he was the one assaulted while too drunk to consent. “It’s fan behavior from everyone talking about it. Boring people who have nothing to do with their time,” texted Ingalls, who Doe later said instigated the alleged 2024 gang rape. Doe said the rumors were “f—king RUINING my life” and that she wanted to sniff out “the rats.” “My reputation is destroyed and i’m utterly ashamed. i’m f—king pissed because this many people shouldn’t know and i feel like i know who some of the rats in the room were,” she texted him. She added that the rumors were not only spreading like wildfire but were growing “crazier every f—king day.” “Stupid bitches like to yap, and the fact they’re doing it shows that they’re jealous of you for any number of reasons,” Ingalls shot back. “The only shameful thing is how this spread and how much people won’t shut up about it — which just reflects poorly on them tbh,” he added. Doe agreed that the gossips are “jealous” and threatened to beat up anyone who gives them “sh-t” about what happened while also opening up how she’s “open-minded” about sexuality. “…but also like everyone needs to grow up cause sexuality and sex and sh-t is changing and stuff like this is going to become more common,” she said, while adding that she is “also really open minded tho.”... More than a week later on November 7, Ingalls tells Doe that his ex-girlfriend told him he’s now been labeled a sexual abuser on campus — and asked if Doe had made those allegations against him. Doe said she’s stayed mum but added “people are changing the narrative because like in any sexual scenario w one woman and many men the woman was probably victim.” “I know there are rumors I was gang banged,” she said. That same day, Doe requested a rape kit at an emergency room and reported the alleged rape to campus police the following day, according to her lawsui10"
What an ignorant. What woman would want to be raped?! They need to retract this clearly false report! The messages are clearly fake!

There is a war on male-only spaces : r/TrueUnpopularOpinion - "In light of the Cornell case, many people have been calling for a ban on fraternities. They argue fraternities are a cesspit of sexual assault, alcoholism, hazing, violence etc. Mainstream publications have started to chime in as well, with New York Magazine and Vogue Magazine both putting out pieces in support of a ban. However, I think there is a more sinister reason for the ban, which has nothing to do with protecting women or curbing alcoholism. Fraternities are one of the last, if not the last, true male-only space we have. A space where men can gather, share jokes, mentor eachother and just be themselves without constant female henpecking and browbeating. It seems society is intent on destroying the roughness, edginess and aggressiveness of men (toxic masculinity) and turning them into HR-approved, deferential, wholesome kiddies. We have seen this many times over. The military, the police, the fire brigade, the church groups, the Boy Scouts, the YMCA, the Elks and other private clubs, the gaming groups etc etc Society just won't let men exist in a space that isn't monitored by a nagging girlboss ready to call out any 'microaggressions' or whatever. Men and women are different. We have different physiology, psychology and ways of socializing. We don't need therapy or spa days, we prefer competition, insults or sometimes just sitting in silence in the company of other men. Leave our spaces alone."

The "Nakba" according to its Author

To know what "the Nakba" was, it is good to read what the person who coined the term said:

"Seven Arab states declare war on Zionism in Palestine, stop impotent before it, and then turn on their heels. The representatives of the Arabs deliver fiery speeches in the highest international forums, warning what the Arab states and peoples will do if this or that decision be enacted. Declarations fall like bombs from the mouths of officials at the meetings of the Arab League, but when action becomes necessary, the fire is still and quiet, the steel and iron are rusted and twisted, quick to bend and disintegrate. The bombs are hollow and empty. They cause no damage and kill no one.

Seven states seek the abolition of partition and the subduing of Zionism, but they leave the battle having lost a not inconsiderable portion of the soil of Palestine, even of the part "given" to the Arabs in the partition. They are forced to accept a truce in which there is neither advantage nor gain for them...

In short, the Zionist home in Palestine is today closer to realization than ever before. On the other side, the very being of the Arabs has never before known such fragmentation and collapse as in this battle.

In addition to the material collapse is the collapse of values which is shown [in various ways. It is shown] by the doubt of the Arabs in their governments and by their accusations of their leaders and rulers, even by the doubt of many of them in themselves and in their potentiality as a nation. [It is also shown] by the despair in their breasts, by their refusal to meet the danger, and by their shrinking before the magnitude of the blow. Indeed, this moral and spiritual relapse is more important than the material loss, no matter how great the latter might be; for if the resolu- tion of a people crumbles and its confidence in itself is lost, it loses the best that it possesses and is impotent to rise after a fall or to shake from itself the dust of humiliation and defeat.

These are some aspects of the disaster which has overtaken the Arabs in this battle of the Palestine war. These and others, which are on the tips of all tongues, which throb in all hearts, and which every one of us sees and hears [cited] in these critical days, are sufficient to indicate the seriousness of the trial and the intensity of the tragedy...

When the battle broke out, our internal propaganda began to tell us about imaginary victories and to benumb the Arab peoples with the easiness of our military struggle and our ability to overcome and conquer -- until the disaster struck, accompanied by a bitter reaction...

When we view this disaster and appraise its extent and its results, it is also right and fair for us to know that it is only one battle in a long war. If we have lost this battle, that does not mean that we have lost the whole war or that we have been finally routed with no possibility of a later revival...

By advocating that we take far-reaching action and that we view the war in its entirety instead of confining ourselves to the present battle, I do not mean that we should merely await the course of events and depend on favorable circumstances...

I hope that, in the above discussion, I have hit on the truth in describing our present disaster in Palestine and that I have made clear its seriousness and gravity, and the intensity with which it now afflicts us and will afflict us in the future. I also hope that I have pictured the disaster as it really is and that I have outlined the course which we must take in relation to it and the viewpoint from which we must look at it, for this is the necessary first step in analyzing a problem and studying the ways of solving it...

However, whether we are able to strike this crushing blow successfully and establish a united, democratic state in Palestine or whether we prove impotent and have partition imposed on us by the Zionists and the rest of the world, the struggle must go on...

The present struggle, which we have described and whose principles and conditions we have drawn up, is necessary for the battle we are now waging. However, the war waged to uproot Zionism and to conquer it completely will not be finished in a single battle. On the contrary it will require a long and protracted war. To put it briefly -- and in all frankness and sincerity -- this war will not lead to the victory of the Arabs as long as they remain in their present condition. The most that they will be able to accomplish under the circumstances is to guard against the immediate Zionist evil and to protect as much of the Arab being as possible. The road to final and complete victory over this evil is different. The road to this victory lies in a fundamental change in the situation of the Arabs, and in a complete transformation of their modes of thought, action, and life."

--- The Meaning of the Disaster, Constantine K. Zurayk aka Constantin Zureiq (1948), 1956 translation by R. Bayly Winder

There's also quite a lot of racism in the pamphlet, but basically the "Nakba" (disaster) was the failure of the Arabs to eradicate the Jews.

Ren ♡ on X - "id rather see the world set ablaze in protest than watch it die under the boot of fascists and pedophiles"
Left Wingers want to destroy the world. Recall that everyone who disagrees with them is a fascist and/or pedophile
Of course left wingers are blaming Russia, fascists, AI, "police brutality" etc and climate change for the riots. The "solution" is always more of the left wing agenda

Eric Matheny on X - "You’ve gotta love how grandmothers walking through the Rotunda is an insurrection, and Third World migrants setting fire to cultural relics is a student protest."

Melissa Chen on X - "Aline started working at age 12.  Over the next three decades she built La Barrique, a restaurant in Paris’s 10th arrondissement, from scratch. She cooked, served, and became part of the neighborhood.  On October 17, rioters broke in, destroyed the place, punched her in the face, and set the building on fire.  By morning her restaurant was ashes. 34 years of work, vaporized in a single night.  Obviously, Aline is an immigrant, one who went to work every day, contributed to the economy and served her community.   One of liberalism's fatal flaws is the fear of drawing distinctions. Distinctions between men and women. Distinctions between cultures. Distinctions between countries.   Because apparently noticing any differences means that you are violating your commitment to equality; it means that you are discriminating, and in the hierarchy of evils in the liberal world, there is no worse sin.  This is literally baked in to the French national motto:   Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité  Égalité means equality, specifically social or political equality.   Which means that drawing any distinctions is the same as discrimination.   But this is completely untethered from reality because these distinctions are REAL. And if you craft and enact policies that ignore these distinctions, the chickens (ok since this is France, the Gallic rooster) will come home to roost."

Handre on X - "When immigrants refuse to integrate into the host society's legal, linguistic, and commercial fabric, they create jurisdictional ambiguity. Ambiguity is where transaction costs breed. But that is only part 1 of the problem cascade.  Consider the banlieues ringing Paris, where Sharia-adjacent informal courts settle disputes that French civil law theoretically governs. Two competing legal systems occupying the same geography produce institutional decay. Contracts become unenforceable across community lines. Capital avoids the uncertainty. Citizens pay that cost in stagnant property values and higher insurance premiums. But wait there is more.  Language is infrastructure. A Turkish enclave in Berlin where 40% of residents speak no functional German represents a communication barrier that price signals cannot cross efficiently. Entrepreneurs cannot hire freely across that barrier without absorbing translation overhead. Labor markets fragment. Wages inside the enclave compress because the worker pool cannot compete in the broader market.  Then, the welfare state makes it dramatically worse. State subsidies remove the market pressure that historically forced assimilation. Ellis Island immigrants learned English because the market paid them to. Today the German government pays families in Neukölln to remain monolingual, then wonders why parallel societies calcify across two and three generations.  Non-assimilation creates a property rights problem across cultural barriers. Voluntary immigration into a free society demands adoption of its legal foundations. Anything less transfers real costs onto existing citizens without their consent, and that is simply redistribution without even a passport.  Fast forward 20 years and you end up with this:"

Itai Cellier on X (Translated) - "There's a very good question here that I want to turn into a separate tweet -  "Why is there atomic chaos on some streets and nothing at all on nearby streets (where there are good stores for looting)?"
 The answer is pretty simple: This pattern of areas with widespread looting and areas right next to them with absolutely nothing is a symptom of the fact that vandalism and looting work is professional, planned, and coordinated in advance.   And I'll explain:   What characterizes all the riots in France so far, like Saint-Germain's victory, "Music Day," etc., is the "spontaneous destructiveness" created by the arrival of masses of people from tough suburbs into the big cities, mainly in the evening hours - under the cover of darkness and under the cover of a large crowd flowing through the streets - it's very easy to carry out acts of vandalism and robbery that the police have a hard time spotting until it's already "too late" or at least, it allows enough critical operating time before police forces can arrive at the scene. Because of this, the shape of looting areas in these cases has always overlapped with the crowd's paths of advance.   Yesterday, something entirely different happened.   There were approved demonstration routes by the police authorities, there were a few riots carried out along those routes too but those were mainly regular spontaneous riots and not organized.
 **Most of the damage** was carried out in areas **relatively far** from the demonstrations and it was carried out in an organized way using a very smart method - first of all, skilled teams piled up barricades around a certain sector. Barricades that didn't encounter any police resistance because the police simply weren't there because they were busy securing the route of the authorized demonstrations.   After the barricades were set up, they were usually also set on fire. But it wasn't just the barricades that were set on fire but also several nearby hotspots like cars or business storefronts, wooden doors, etc. The goal was for residents to call the fire department which would send fire trucks that would have to draw water from street hydrants and direct firefighting efforts to several hotspots [usually at an intersection] which de facto creates - an effective blockage of traffic routes - beyond the burning barricades themselves.   From that moment, the looters were essentially free to smash the storefronts that interested them without interference. The thing is, they also "stuck to the schedule" according to reports, the X hour was 16:30. - When you're looting inside a sector "secured" by burning barricades and fire trucks starting to flow in *far* from the demonstration routes and when all the looting happens simultaneously - even a police force of hundreds of thousands of officers - won't manage to arrive quickly (via mounted patrols or transit - because the routes are closed) or flow in time on foot to all the looting sites to stop it.   This is what essentially proves it was a professional organization with a guiding hand and disciplined teams. Who does the suspicion fall on? On the skilled teams of Antifa and other radical left organizations, including "professional brains" who come from abroad. On people from Mélenchon's "indomitable France." And on agents of Putin's Russia. [Remember the blue Star of David graffiti painted on Jews' homes right after 9/7? The synagogue painted green? The red hand signs on the Holocaust memorial? The sabotage of the train guidance systems before the Olympics? - All of these were proven to be Russian sabotage operations].  This modus operandi is also what explains the "amazement" among bobo people [the French bourgeois left] who tweet things like "What riots are they talking about I live here in Paris and my street is full of stores and quiet." Yeah, darling. You're not in an area pre-targeted by the "protest" organizers. And that's why "you didn't notice anything.""

Ro Khanna on X - "From the high schools of France to the streets of Madrid to the universities of Tirana, young people are telling their governments the same thing: in an age of massive wealth inequality, they want a future they can believe in.  In France, students and teachers are asking for safe schools, enough teachers and smaller classes.  In Spain, for affordable rent and housing.   In Albania, for good jobs and an end to corruption.  @JDVance  says this is what happens when a nation lets in too many immigrants from the global south.  He is not just morally wrong, but misreading the moment.  The is what happens when nations let wealth and power accumulate in the hands of a few.   This is what happens when young people lose hope in their future.  In America, let us listen to our young.  We need an economic and political transformation.  America's Next New Deal."
Melissa Chen on X - "Let me translate what Ro Khanna’s pitch is:  Remember the 2020 BLM riots’ death toll, firebombed buildings, looted stores and subsequent crime waves and business flight in multiple cities?  Yeah, we miss that!   Let’s double down with higher taxes on productive capital, more redistribution, and reward youth protests so we can fund the cycle and invite more of it!   We want the USA 🇺🇸 to be be MORE like France 🇫🇷 !!!!!   Vote Dems!!!!!"

Melissa Chen on X - "Then why isn’t Central and Eastern Europe - Poland, Czechia, Hungary - burning this weekend?   (Albania is the clear exception, and for different reasons)  Housing costs, school conditions, and youth economic frustration are real problems across much of Europe, including in places with far lower immigration.   Yet the large-scale, violent unrest this week was seen in France, Italy, Spain, Belgium.   Why?   The demographic differences are stark:  Foreign-born share of the population: Poland ~2.6%, Hungary ~7%, Czechia ~10%, France ~14%, Spain ~19%.  More importantly, the composition differs.   Inflows into Poland, Czechia, and Hungary have been overwhelmingly Ukrainian, other European, or specific groups like Vietnamese.   Western Europe has large, multi-generational populations from the Maghreb, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the broader Middle East/North Africa.  Muslim population estimates remain under 1% across Poland, Czechia, and Hungary versus roughly >10% in France."

Melissa Chen on X - "It's funny how the commies who constantly tout the evils of private property and the moral urgency of redistribution always sprint straight for the monogrammed handbags the moment the alarm goes off.   Personally, I find it hard to summon much sympathy when luxury stores get smashed and looted. Why? Because it's the same industry that constantly embraces third-worldist leftism, sustainability theater, inclusion quotas, and progressive signaling.   Recall that Vogue endorses Democratic candidates and majority of high fashion designers snub Melania Trump. Campaigns push all kinds of norm-busting avant garde ideas including open borders and BLM-adjacent slogans, while relying on know-nothing woke celebrities to amplify their message.  These brands have spent decades cultivating an ideology to appeal to a consumer class (like Hasan Piker lol) that treats property as negotiable, heritage as contemptible, order as oppression, and hierarchy as something to be dismantled. So when the mob turns on the glass and marble of their own boutiques, this is simply known as being hoisted by their own petard.  The Limoges town hall, on the other hand, is different. Its destruction is the loss of something irreplaceable, and I mourn it"

Now they cannot open their stores, cannot earn a living, and are afraid to walk outside with their children.  This was not a protest about school conditions or the cost of living. It was the free Palestine Marxist-Islamic intifada imported into French cities.   Palestinian flags flew while masked groups systematically looted bakeries, pharmacies, luxury stores and ordinary shops, torched cars, and attacked public buildings. Limoges town hall was burned. Marseille city hall was stormed.   A Paris synagogue was vandalized. Around 1,800 people were arrested. Roughly 1,500 businesses were damaged.  Losses run into the hundreds of millions.  The locals did not start a war. The same banlieue populations that already consume the bulk of welfare, housing and education budgets simply used the march as cover to burn the country that feeds them while demanding more.   Macron and the political class that opened the borders and harvested the votes left ordinary French people to live among the wreckage.  Free Palestine is the slogan. Muslim colonialism is the project.   The same ideology that celebrates October 7 in Gothenburg and waves jihad flags through London now turns French streets into a battleground and leaves the people who built the shops terrified for their children’s future.  💔💔💔"

Eli Steele on X - "I have argued that suicidal empathy is a flawed concept, and what is happening in France proves it.  In the post below, Le Pogam gives a good articulation of @GadSaad 's suicidal empathy. He argues that the West feels too much for the wrong people. In short, our compassion misfires, and we die of kindness. It is a comforting story in a sense, but it is false. The behavior he describes is real, and I have said so before. But what drives it is not empathy but fear.  My father has long argued that white guilt is the diagnosis. People often say, "I have no white guilt," but it has nothing to do with personal feelings of guilt. You cannot feel guilt for what you have not done. White guilt is collective guilt, and the left has charged the entire West and all whites with the crimes of slavery, segregation, and colonialism. We live in a white guilt world, and that world rules by fear. The charge is racism, and the punishment is public ruin and ostracism. What moves us is fear, and far too many of us have lied to ourselves that this fear is empathy.  Suicidal empathy has no origin story. In his book and countless podcasts, Saad offers up the explanations of misfiring emotions and the flawed hairworm analogy. But why would his biological explanation of empathy start misfiring during this time? Saad blames ideas spread from the universities, but that only moves the question. Why did the West let those ideas win after the 1960s? He never says. Le Pogam seems to understand this hole in Saad's reasoning, and that is why he points to Christianity as a possible explanation. But Christianity is 2,000 years old.  The origin of white guilt has a date. In the 1960s, white America confessed to centuries of racial oppression. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were that confession. As my father puts it, "It was a confession that this nation made." Whites who had been on the top were now fallen. They lost their moral authority. Many whites sought to regain their innocence by turning against America and the West. They sought innocence by allying with the "oppressed."  Europe followed a similar path with colonialism. In February 2017, Emmanuel Macron went to Algeria and called France's colonization "a crime against humanity." Three months later, he was elected president. France did not punish him for it. It rewarded him.  Le Pogam describes empathy as the spotlight that lights up the face in front of you. But that spotlight passed over the injured police officers (nearly a thousand of them) and the looted shopkeepers. Fear is the truer explanation here. Standing with the police and the shopkeepers invites the racist charge. Standing with and excusing the rioters gives you a free pass.  Le Pogam then describes how this works when he refers to the ideology that "sorts the world into oppressors and victims, then demands unlimited empathy for whoever ranks as the victim, whatever they do." But this is not empathy. You cannot empathize with a category. Empathy only works with a person. What Le Pogam is describing is the brute act of devaluing people into ideological pawns and then brutally assigning them to race boxes. That is what white guilt does.  Whether he intended to or not, Le Pogam then explains white guilt perfectly when he says men went silent at the dinner table because they were told their protective instinct was toxic. Why would grown men believe that? Because borders, police and the word no had all been branded racist. Those men were afraid of being called racists. They calculated the cost. That fear is white guilt.  So then the question becomes why have so many self-proclaimed free thinkers on the right swallowed suicidal empathy whole? Because it flatters us. If our only flaw is that we're too kind, that's a compliment. The problem is always someone else, and we get to feel innocent. That need to feel innocent is white guilt too. It is far easier to believe we are dying of kindness than to admit we have been afraid."

Thread by @jonatanpallesen on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "A look at how the European media covers the violent French riots.  The largest Danish new media, DR, has only a small feature on the main page.  It describes the riots as "French high school students continue to protest". (I translate the texts to English.)  The picture is with the police as the central element. It is not even the largest news story about France on DR. With a larger feature is this story about right-wing antisemitism, and some things this person wrote when he was 17.
Another large Danish news site, TV2: "Schoolchildren all over France demonstrate".  Do you notice something else about these demonstrators? The article does not. The article features an analysis, where we can get a perspective of things, that's not just the strictly verifiable aspects of the story. Still no mention of ethnicity.
The Guardian leads with a sympathetic intro from a sympathetic school pupil, Sophia. The article tells us that among the reasons for the situation is the opaque online system for university applications."

The Violence Sweeping France Was Never Really About Schools - The Atlantic - "The French protest too much. Over the past two decades, paroxysms of rage, violence, rioting, arson, and looting have regularly seized the nation, imposing enormous costs on civil society. During the 2005 banlieue riots, the deaths of two boys evading police sparked three weeks of severe property destruction and violence. In the years since, pandemonium has broken out over veil bans, the commemoration of NATO’s anniversary, the legalization of same-sex marriage, even the arrival of ride-sharing apps... the violence fanning out across France has little to do with pedagogical concerns. For some time now, there has been an existential crisis at the heart of French life, rooted in a pervasive sense that the future will never equal the past, that the state cannot achieve what its citizens expect. The national pie is often seen as zero-sum, which explains why so many constituencies, from retirees to high schoolers, refuse to give an inch. Their anger accumulates, then it boils over. And the government is either unwilling or unable to contain it. Five of the videos that have gone viral reveal the nihilistic resentment beneath the pretext of school reform. In the one I can’t get out of my mind, a 15-year-old dressed in a black hoodie, black sweatpants, and mask calmly approaches a woman in Marseille and sprays her face with a makeshift flamethrower, leaving her with first-degree burns. In a scene from Nantes, an inferno fills the lobby of the Nelson Mandela High School, which cost 75 million euros to build in 2014. In the third video, a keffiyeh-clad blond-haired teen in Paris smiles as he explains to a reporter, who has asked about a policewoman being chased and tripped by teenagers, that “the ends justify the means.” Elsewhere, a masked teen stands atop a car addressing a crowd of euphoric classmates, who hold their smartphones out as if they’re at a concert. He counts the police he sees: “There are only 10 of them,” he screams. “In the name of Allah, we can kill them all!” The crowd erupts in cheers. The fifth clip depicts a large and rapturous group of teens in the Loire Valley, backpacks on and smartphones out, gathered in a circle, rapping the lyrics to “M*R*H.” The song opens with a reference to the Bataclan terror attack in 2015 in which 90 people were killed: “I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid of hell; the pact is intact—who but Allah can stop me? / Bataclan—playing dead, lying flat—I’m gonna pick ’em off one by one.”... In recent years, France’s protest culture has been indulged and glorified to the point of insanity. This has become a particular problem during Emmanuel Macron’s tenure, which began in 2017. Protests have not only enfeebled his administration but also eroded the political viability of centrism in France. In 2018, the gilets jaunes, or “yellow vests,” led a national revolt ostensibly against fuel taxes that nearly incapacitated Macron’s presidency until the coronavirus pandemic subdued it. In 2023, nationwide demonstrations coupled with indiscriminate violence and mayhem followed the police shooting of a teenage motorist near Paris. That same year saw further street clashes and rioting over disputes surrounding pension reforms and the construction of water reservoirs. In 2024, farmers blocked roadways and damaged government property. Last year, hundreds of thousands of people participated in protests led by the anti-austerity Bloquons Tout movement (“Let’s block everything”)... some on the left have sought to exploit the nihilism convulsing France by spurring it on. On September 28, Bally Bagayoko, the mayor of Saint-Denis and a member of LFI, danced with students while singing “La Marseillaise” in front of a flaming blockade at the lycée Paul Eluard. The following day, he made his message clear. “La violence, à un moment donné, peut être légitime”: At a certain point, violence can be legitimate."
Clearly, setting a head teacher on fire is how you protest "underfunded" schools
Left wingers in the US want to emulate all of this, because they love nihilism and destruction. The fact that left wingers in France are still not happy despite getting pretty much all of what many left wingers in the US claim they want is lost on them, of course. Left wingers are never happy

The Crisis for Democrats in Michigan

Of course, a white supremacist supporting Trump proves that Trump is a white supremacist.

The article generously assumes that El-Sayed is not an anti-Semite himself.

The Crisis for Democrats in Michigan - The Atlantic

"The hard-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker warned Jewish Americans last week that their excessive identification with Israel would subject them to anti-Semitic attacks. “If Jews in America keep putting this idea out there that they are singularly invested in Israel, eventually someone is going to come around and take action—not against the state of Israel, mind you, but against American Jews,” he said. Piker’s tone was one of rueful concern, not unlike the pose adopted by anti-Semites throughout history. “No person with a sense of the dignity of mankind can condone the persecution of the Jewish race in Germany. But no person of honesty and vision can look on their pro-war policy here today without seeing the dangers involved in such a policy both for us and for them,” the Nazi sympathizer Charles Lindbergh said in 1941.

Several leading Democrats, including Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, issued statements denouncing Piker’s ugly warning to the Jews as a barely veiled anti-Semitic threat. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democrat running for Michigan’s other Senate seat, trod more carefully...

Most Democrats followed El-Sayed’s line that Piker was irrelevant. “This election is about what’s going to happen when we elect Abdul to the United States Senate. I am done, so don’t any reporter ask me again about Hasan Piker. It’s not what November is about,” Representative Debbie Dingell said at a rally for El-Sayed.

Democrats have good reason to say this. El-Sayed is running a close race to hold a seat that Democrats probably need to retain to win control of the Senate in the midterm elections.

But the truth is that Piker, and the uncomfortable questions raised by his alliance with El-Sayed, is one of the important questions at stake in the election. If Piker were just an internet pundit, his rant—the latest entry in a long list of outrageous comments he has made—would be of little consequence to the Democratic Party. Piker has said that “America deserved 9/11,” praised Mao Zedong as “one of the great leaders of this world,” and mourned the collapse of the Soviet Union as “one of the greatest catastrophes of the 20th century.” His ideology is profoundly authoritarian. But several left-wing Democrats, especially El-Sayed, have campaigned with Piker and elevated him into one of their most prominent surrogates. So El-Sayed’s alliance with Piker has become a political and moral crisis.

In Michigan, Democrats are trying to avoid handing Republicans their first Senate win in the state in more than three decades. But if El-Sayed wins, he would throw open the doors of the party to a strain of militant politics that many Jews justifiably consider dangerous. The Democratic Party is now divided between those who are trying to force El-Sayed to stop encouraging left-wing anti-Semites and those who give him their unconditional support...

Supporting El-Sayed means accepting a strain of anti-Semitic politics that to date has had no place within the Democratic Party. 

What’s more, El-Sayed has already said that he intends to use his victory as a platform to reshape the party. Him winning could invite a future in which the United States has not just one party that is open to bigots but two.

Although El-Sayed has never said anything nearly as inflammatory as the sorts of comments Piker makes routinely, his mixture of anti-Zionism and populism treats pro-Israel activism as a nefarious and all-pervasive force. He has denied that any Democrat who believes in human rights could have any motive other than money for holding a position on Israel different from the one he prefers. El-Sayed tends to depict nearly all opposition to his candidacy as financially driven, but when applied to Jewish political activity,  this charge becomes even more conspiratorial.

Ann Arbor, where El-Sayed lives, is home to a branch of the Free Palestine movement that has engaged in violent intimidation of Jewish Democrats. Activists at the University of Michigan not only seized the central campus grounds for their own but also vandalized the business of Jordan Acker, a Democratic regent, and made middle-of-the-night attacks on his home, one of which involved shattering his window with a jar of urine.

El-Sayed has campaigned on the Michigan campus with Amir Makled, a lawyer who defended the protesters and who has shared anti-Semitic and pro-Hezbollah social-media posts. When the Justice Department charged eight of the protesters—one of whom had worked on El-Sayed’s campaign—in a plot to commit still more acts of intimidation, El-Sayed treated the indictment as biased, telling reporters, “It’s a lot more about what you’re advocating for that gets you indicted or not indicted, rather than what you did.”

Dana Nessel, the state’s attorney general, has faced anti-Semitic harassment and has said that she plans to skip the state party’s August convention rather than endure more abuse. At the party’s April nominating caucus, Mallory McMorrow, a then-candidate for Senate, reported that her Jewish husband was subjected to an anti-Semitic slur. On the weekend before the primary, Walter Masterson, a left-wing streamer who has appeared with El-Sayed, disrupted an event for Haley Stevens, El-Sayed’s pro-Israel opponent in the Democratic primary, forcing the brewery hosting it to cancel the event. El-Sayed did not condemn the bully-boy tactics used on his behalf.

Before he warned American Jews that they were bringing anti-Semitism on themselves by identifying with Israel, Piker displayed on his Twitch stream a quote attributed to Jeremy Moss, the Democratic nominee for Congress in a suburban Detroit district: “The entire purpose of my campaign is to make sure America continues to support Israel. I don’t think it’s wrong for Jews in America to want to put Israel first. America is not our homeland and we have been victims of antisemitism here.” Moss insists that the quote is a pure fabrication, and no one has yet produced any evidence of its authenticity.

Numerous Democrats denounced Piker’s comments. Instead of apologizing, though, Piker replied on X, “Aipac boss call was made,” implying that only the influence of the pro-Israel lobby could have caused Democrats to object to his rhetoric.

El-Sayed has refused pleas from his fellow Democrats to break off his alliance with Piker, who joined him at a pool party on the last day of campaigning before the primary. El-Sayed first brushed off the requests by likening Piker to Joe Rogan, a controversial podcaster whose show some Democrats have appeared on (but not a figure they have brought out on the campaign trail). More recently, he argued that the demands that he distance himself from Piker come from “cancel culture that all of us agreed was a bad idea back in 2020, but we seem to want to bring it back.”

This is a dodge. El-Sayed’s fellow Democrats are not trying to silence or punish Piker. They are asking El-Sayed, who chose to bring Piker out to campaign for and endorse him, to make clear where he stands. “Abdul El-Sayed had a prime opportunity to cut ties with Piker and directly disavow his words, but he did not,” Democratic Representative Hillary Scholten of Michigan told Politico. “There is a lot of work left to do to unite the party.”

Notably, El-Sayed is using an evasive construction similar to the one that J. D. Vance has employed to justify his friendship with Tucker Carlson...

Democrats have little trouble understanding that the right-wing infighting over Carlson is about whether the Republican tent, which already includes racists, nativists, and vicious Islamophobes, is also big enough to include anti-Semites. They have correspondingly little trouble making harsh judgments about the moral compromises Republicans are contemplating in the process.

What many Democrats don’t wish to admit is that they are entertaining a similar choice themselves. El-Sayed and Piker have professed their abhorrence of anti-Semitism. But so has Vance—and, so, for that matter, has Carlson. If your opposition to anti-Semitism applies only to your ideological adversaries, and you excuse or ignore it from your allies, it is an empty bromide.

When Democrats dismiss the controversy over Piker and the movement he stands for, they are treating the growing influence of left-wing anti-Semitism as unworthy of concern—or, worse still, a fait accompli. The Democrats imploring El-Sayed to renounce Piker want more than a generalized promise to safeguard Jewish safety, or a statement that “nobody” speaks for the candidate. They are seeking some assurance from El-Sayed that he will speak out in opposition to attacks against Jews by his own supporters.

El-Sayed has responded as if the only reason Democrats might hesitate to endorse him is that they hold a personal grudge against him. “There are a few people who are still nursing wounds or grievances from the primary,” he told Semafor. “I get it. Losing is hard.” It is true that losing elections is hard. Losing your moral principles, on the other hand, can be surprisingly easy.""

Thread by @PolitlcsUK on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "🚨 BREAKING: The Government says the two Iranian men charged over the alleged terror plot against Jewish people in Manchester entered the UK by small boat in 2020 and 2023. One was granted asylum and the other has a live asylum claim. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood says tonight: "The fact both suspects arrived by small boat several years ago is a reminder of the importance of our relentless work to tackle illegal migration into this country. While numbers are down, I know there is more we must do. "It would be inappropriate to comment further on this case. But I can say that we will be unrelenting in our efforts to protect our Jewish communities, root out antisemitism in this country, and maintain our border security" Counter Terror Police says it's alleged Salam Ahmadyan, 36, of Liverpool, and Rahman Salehi 34, of Salford, were in contact with an overseas third-party who may be in Iran in relation to the "imminent" plot. They have now been charged under the Terrorism Act over allegedly:
- Communicating with others using encrypted applications to acquire components to assemble a homemade explosive device
- Acquiring a document entitled “Steps for Making [a] Powder Chlorine and Car Brake Oil/Fluid Bomb”
- Acquiring video material containing instructions on how to manufacture or assemble an improvised explosive device
- Acquiring liquids, components and equipment required in order to manufacture or assembling an improvised explosive device
- Using the internet to identify and research potential targets for attack
- Acquiring images, plans and maps of potential targets for attack
- Conducting reconnaissance of potential locations for attack"
Nigel Farage on X - "Eleven years ago I warned that terrorists were using illegal routes into Europe to attack us. The establishment ignored me. Nine years ago I specifically highlighted the Iranian threat via illegal migration. Crickets. Six years ago I specifically warned about the invasion in the Channel, often taking to sea myself to document the horrors. Again, I was dismissed. In 2023, I reported on terrorists coming into Britain on small boats, just like these men did under the Tory government. In 2025, in the House of Commons, I discussed Iranian terrorists at Dover. And in April and May of this year I cited sources that told me Iranian terrorists were already in our midst. They said shame on me. No. Shame on them. We now have a state of national emergency on our borders, and this government is trying to open them to even more unknown individuals. We are inviting terror and horror into our communities. It must end now. And if this Home Secretary disagrees, she must resign."

Just Right Frank on X - "This is how Labour are lying to you. The truth is in the small print. When an asylum seeker is granted "Leave to remain" they become classed as homeless. That means that they must be given priority housing help by Councils. I found out about this when Blair was PM. That is how long they have lied to you. Last year Labour granted Leave To Remain to 200,000 asylum seeker at the rate of 1 every minute, many of them did not even have a face to face interview, that is simply rubber stamping the applications in order to empty the hotels. Please help to expose their lies."
@Noodles on X - "Hence all the immigrant rapists registered as No Fixed Abode 🤔"

Nearly all women arriving on small boats have been raped, says Shabana Mahmood - "“They’re just troublemakers. You know, they’d kill me in a minute if they could, and they’d definitely kick me out of my own country. So let’s just be really clear about who and what they are. They don’t think I’m a true Brit and they hate the fact that I’m a Muslim.” Mahmood also said she considered herself “part of the pro-Palestinian cause” and felt “very uncomfortable” over the arrests of activists opposing the ban imposed on Palestine Action."
Migration Watch on X - "Perhaps a bad idea to continue admitting all the male rapists on these small boats then?"
Proof the UK needs to bring "asylum seekers" over themselves to protect them!

Chris Rose on X - "It’s disgusting for Shabana Mahmood to claim that everyone in Patriot Platform would "kill me in a minute if they could” with zero evidence. She is not the victim. People like Wayne Broadhurst, Rhiannon Whyte, Gheorghe Trica, several teenage girls are the real victims."

Max Klinger on X - "Some of the most insane figures you’ll read this year. Simply put, you cannot accurately understand British life, or British politics, if you aren’t aware of them. I say this as someone who’s descended from immigrants btw:
‘From June 2021 to June 2025 approximately 4 million migrants of various types came to Britain. According to the University of Oxford’s Migration Observatory, more people moved to Britain in those four years than the entire population of Wales. To give this some grounding in our country’s deep and ancient history, the Welsh are the ethnic group most closely descended from the original Brythonic inhabitants of the British Isles. They are now outnumbered by migrants who arrived in just those four years. The incomprehensible scale of this migration is comparable in size to England’s entire 17th century population. To call these figures incomprehensible is not rhetorical flourish; people quite literally don’t understand the numbers. Research from the thinktank Onward published in 2024 found that voters believed that about 70,000 migrants had entered England in the preceding year. Net migration in 2023 had in fact been 672,000. Between 2001 and 2020 the size of Britain’s foreign-born population doubled. By 2025 one in 30 people living in Britain had arrived as a migrant in the previous four years under the Tory government. Strikingly, 10% of all residents of England do not identify with any UK national identity. Between 1975 and 2025 the white British population of London declined from 85% to 37%… While legal migration soared, Britain’s southern coast was beset by illegal immigration in the small boat crisis. Between January and April 2025 more than 10,000 illegal immigrants arrived. This is about as many men of fighting age as were in William the Conqueror’s army at the Battle of Hastings. In 2022 45,000 illegal migrants came ashore in Britain in small boats. This is a larger group of men than the Roman Army that conquered Britain in 43 AD. These changes are without precedent in the entirety of English history. They are not incidental migrations, they will reconfigure the country forever.
This is a lengthy quote from @BenBarryJones’ Island of Strangers."

British Intel on X - "Prime Minister Andy Burnham says it's "hard to conclude that Daniel Thomas is anything other than someone who has racist views," directly attacking the Patriot Platform founder known as Danny Tommo. Tommo pleaded not guilty this week to criminal damage over the alleged slashing of a boat in the Channel while an emergency responder was aboard. A sitting Prime Minister just branded a man racist in public while his case is still active and unresolved. Make of that what you will."

thenodeproject on X - "Andy Burnham calls Danny Tommo a racist for wanting our borders protected - on the same day terrorists attack our country. And we’re supposed to believe patriots are the problem?"

Lee Harris on X - "Andy Burnham says when people are "causing fear and intimidation in communities" by covering their faces you "have to prevent them doing that" The people who are causing fear and intimidation in our communities are unvetted illegal migrants. The man is completely out of touch"

Basil the Great on X - "🚨NEWS: Andy Burnham has received significant backlash after he called for a "Britain for Everyone" ‘A Britain for everyone, no matter who we are or where we are born, we would be unstoppable, and we will be.’ Many have pointed out this has failed and Britain should be for the British"

Young Bob on X - "The left has begun a campaign of AI-generated pictures of me being shot in the neck. I have been arrested before for hate speech offences for posting jokes about mass deportations. However, the left can post threatening pictures of me being shot in the neck with no consequences whatsoever. However, the line should always be, "I don’t care". These people are sick, and when we win, we will crush these people."
If you joke about mass deportations this is right wing violence. If you "joke" about shooting non-left wingers in the neck, this is free speech. Proof that the right wing are responsible for political violence!

Mike Jones on X - "Remember when Diane Abbott opposed Finnish nurses working in the NHS because, in her words, they were “blonde, blue-eyed”? Apparently, they weren’t suited to nursing in multiracial Hackney. Was Abbott ostracised from British politics? Nope. She ended up on Andrew Neil’s comfy BBC sofa and eventually became a Shadow Minister in Corbyn’s cabinet. These are the people who could be ruling us in the future."

Home Office staff volunteer with Calais charity that backed lying migrants - "Civil servants working at the heart of Britain’s immigration system volunteered with a charity that helped adult migrants posing as children to enter Britain. Home Office staff spent two days in February with Care4Calais, a British asylum charity that separately tried to persuade judges that balding and wrinkled asylum seekers were children. The visit was organised by the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) as part of a campaign to give asylum seekers in the Channel the same rights as Ukrainian refugees. In a video promoting the volunteering trip, one PCS official called for Labour to introduce a plan to end the “humanitarian disaster” unfolding at Britain’s borders. Trade union representatives in the video, who are employed by the Home Office, criticised dehumanising “rhetoric” about migrants that focused on the “numbers” of people arriving on small boats... Care4Calais helped dispute official assessments of migrants’ ages. In one such case, a Sudanese man in his 20s was placed in children’s accommodation after the charity referred him to a council. Immigration courts later rejected such claims, finding that those involved had tried to deceive authorities to gain the “advantages” of being treated as a child asylum seeker, such as school places and council accommodation, rather than the hotels housing adult asylum seekers. Judges have also found in favour of other migrants supported by Care4Calais who were wrongly assessed as adults when they were children. Home Office figures show that 6,255 asylum seekers had their age disputed in cases closed in the year ending this March. Of these, 43 per cent were found to be adults despite claiming to be children. It is understood that the PCS and Care4Calais have been working together to oppose the UK’s asylum policy since around 2022, when they sued the Conservative government to block the Rwanda detention plan. The PCS is lobbying ministers to adopt its “Safe Routes” policy, which it developed with Care4Calais, which would implement a “Ukrainian-style” visa system for Channel migrants that would give them the right to live, work and claim benefits in Britain."

Afghan small boat migrant 'smuggled girl, 14, into the UK after kidnapping and sexually assaulting her' - "A DINGHY migrant smuggled a girl of 14 into Britain after kidnapping and sexually assaulting her, a court has heard. It is believed to be the first case in which an abducted child has been brought across the Channel in a small boat. The Afghan national is said to have lured her away from a camp in Belgium in June 2025. After allegedly sexually assaulting the teen, he is then said to have brought her across France and sneaked her into the UK. The man, who can’t be named as it could identify his alleged victim, was found living with the girl in Manchester. He was arrested in West London last month. The man has given three birth dates, and could be 27, 21 or 18."

Rafe Heydel-Mankoo on X - "The Home Office is not fit for purpose & should be stripped of immigration powers Hundreds of Iraqi Kurds claim asylum in the UK alleging a relationship with the Kurdistan Prime Minister's daughter! 100s of allegedly persecuted gay Pakistanis claim to have the SAME boyfriend Hundreds of Bangladeshis claim to be persecuted as prominent members of an opposition political party - yet can't answer basic questions about the organisation Hundreds of identical documents, signed by the same foreign magistrate.... None of this was seemingly questioned by the Home Office, which in 2024 accepted 62% of asylum applications. For context: Spain only accepted 11%. To make matters worse, the UK grants asylum to migrants who have been REJECTED by other countries. This is a big pull factor for migrants from Somalia, Eritrea, Sudan etc after being rejected in Germany, France, Austria etc. We are becoming an international joke."

Kidnapper convicted of FIFTY crimes since arriving illegally aged 14 wins bid to stay in UK as judge rules he'd be 'mistreated' in Kosovo for being Roma - "Avdi Alija, 39, arrived illegally in the UK aged 14 and has been convicted of 50 criminal offences ranging from burglary and theft to cocaine possession and driving while drunk or high on drugs."
Kevin DeAnna on X - "Imagine what life would be like if the government treated useful people with such sympathy and consideration"

Leo Kearse - see me on tour! Links in bio on X - "In Britain, there are escalating tensions over people from mediaeval, violent cultures exploiting our weak asylum system to move to Britain. Brits are so desperate for it to stop that we’re seeing citizen armies rise up to police the border. The politician in charge of such things, Shabana Mahmood (classic British name there), has listened to these concerns and thought, "Screw them. Let's have more." Mahmood announced a plan to bring in more Afghan and Palestinian refugees via "safe routes". The only safe routes I'm worried about are my kids getting a safe route to school while this government continues to open the floodgates. And all the refugees will be able to bring their entire extended families (and anyone who pretends to be in their extended family). So, is this a good idea? Luckily we know - we’ve seen what happened when Palestinian refugees went to Jordan, went to Lebanon, and went to European countries such as Denmark and Norway. Spoiler alert - it led to social upheaval, civil war, hundreds of thousands dead, assassinations, violent crime and benefits dependence. There's only an upside if you're a far-left or Islamist politician."

Peter Hague on X - "The basic reason why immigration is such a toxic issue in the UK, and why it won’t settle down soon, is there is no popular consent for it, and the elite do not care. Every time the British public have been asked, they have demanded substantial reductions. The debate hasn’t shifted, they have simply been overruled by an elite that considers borders illegitimate. With an absolutely straight face they offer legal routes as a solution to illegal migration - the possibility of simply not letting people in just doesn’t occur to them. Perhaps, they hope, they can contain the seething anger of the British people they have betrayed long enough to tip the demographic balance, and have a voting bloc of new arrivals to keep them in power."

varrock on X - "~50% of all HIV diagnoses in the UK are from African migrants. In just 3 years, African migration alone doubled the rate of HIV in the UK."
Dr. Sydney Watson on X - "This is made so much worse when you remember that there are African cultures that believe raping a virgin cures AIDs. Wonder how that is gonna play out across the West 🥴"

Charlie on X - "In her judgment, the judge, Fiona Lindsley, said the families were living in vulnerable structures in a war zone, malnourished, unwell and struggling psychologically with anxiety from their husbands and fathers in the UK that they would not survive much longer if they remained in Gaza."
"You simply cannot have any resettlement or asylum system when criteria like this are used to determine eligibility. There are hundreds of millions of people across the world that would meet this definition. This is why any such claim that resettlement will be limited to a few hundred or thousand is bogus, as once the human rights claims kick in, countless more will be chain-migrated into the UK."
If you don't let the whole third world move into the West, it's a grave violation of human rights

Gun-toting migrant who called for slaughter of Jews cannot be deported - "An alleged Palestinian gunman who called for the slaughter of Jewish people cannot currently be deported to Gaza after completing a jail sentence for trying to enter the UK illegally. Abu Wadee, a 34-year-old TikTok influencer who was a member of a militant group and posed for pictures with AK-47s, is living in Northamptonshire after being freed from his nine-month sentence. The Home Office is seeking to deport him but cannot do so at present because of the risks to life in the region and the lack of safe and legal routes through which to return to Gaza. Wadee, also known as Mosab Abdulkarim Al-Gassas, pleaded guilty to trying to enter the UK on a small boat on March 6 without leave or valid entry clearance... His arrival in the UK made national headlines after it emerged that he had posted support for the banned terror group Hamas and hate speech calling for the death of Jewish people on social media. A video posted on his Facebook site in June 2021 showed him throwing pipe bombs. He has almost 20,000 followers on TikTok. Wadee, from the city of Khan Younis in Gaza, also posted a video on his Facebook page in September 2024 in which he was filmed calling for Allah to “punish [Jews] completely”... He admitted he had been a member of a militant group known as the Tyre Burning Unit and had called for the killing of Jews, but claimed that was “eight years ago”. He said that he had only acted in that way because he had no choice, adding: “That was back when I lived in Gaza under Hamas rule. Everyone knows that Hamas is a terrorist organisation that would kill us if we didn’t speak against the Jews while living there.”"
Clearly, we knew he meant "Zionists", so there's nothing wrong with what he said, which is just "humanity" and "opposing 'genocide'"

Robber migrant can stay in UK because he ‘goes to local leisure centre’ - "A French migrant who was jailed for robbery and drug-dealing has been allowed to stay in Britain after an immigration court heard he regularly attended his local leisure centre. The fitness sessions he took six days a week were cited as an example of how integrated he was into UK society and of his “consistency, reliability, focus, discipline and commitment” since his release from prison... The 21-year-old migrant, who the courts referred to as YC, came to the UK when he was three years old with his mother and was allowed to stay in the UK because of how “socially and culturally integrated” he was into British life, and that deportation would be “unduly harsh” on his British partner."

War may be coming. Are we psychologically ready?
Aaron Edwards on X - ""Are we psychologically ready?" Who is this "we", all of a sudden? I thought Britain was a multicultural melting pot of forever immigrants and always has been? I thought there was never any such thing as "the English people" or "the British people"? I thought the people who oppose migrant invasions from foreign nations are racist bigots who should be arrested or shunned? If there was a military invasion of Britain tomorrow, what would be the point of trying to repel it? What would "we" be trying to defend anyway, in this world of effective open borders and multicultural vape shop bliss? Why be so un-inclusive to the invaders by opposing them? If we lost a war now and were somehow conquered, what would actually change about our effective current "policy" about what makes Britain Britain? Aren't all nations and cultures equally valid and worthy of being celebrated? Wouldn't our invaders have as much right to this land as we do? Aren't their ideas about going to war against us just as valid as our ideas about not wanting to be taken over by them? Why not just let the invaders win if the result is all the same either way? ...No, I don't think we are psychologically ready."

This is a lengthy quote from @BenBarryJones ’ Island of Strangers."

Are British people stealing immigrants’ jobs? - "In Birmingham, our reporter interviewed a local man named Mohammad Khan. And he said: “Here it is hard to get a job. A lot of students come and pick up part-time jobs. They take over the housing. They work for a lower rate and they can speak English.” If the ability to speak English is giving these students a decisive advantage in the Birmingham jobs market, that means the people they’re under-cutting must be immigrants who can’t speak English. In which case, I hope Birmingham isn’t going to see mass protests by unemployed immigrants, muttering: “Bloody British. Coming over here, stealing our jobs.” Then again, if they can only say this in another language, I suppose we won’t know what they’re protesting about... this unfortunate situation puts me in mind of an article I read in Metro, in 2022. It reported that the recent gentrification of Brixton, South London, had been deeply distressing to locals of Caribbean descent – because, they said, it had caused their area to undergo rapid demographic change. One man, who had run a jerk chicken van there for 17 years, complained: “If you go to some places in Brixton nowadays, you will not see any black people.” Which is interesting. Because, this last time year, Reform’s Robert Jenrick got in a lot of trouble for saying that, when he visited the Handsworth area of Birmingham, he “didn’t see another white face”. If it was offensive for Mr Jenrick to note a lack of white faces in parts of Birmingham, was it offensive for the jerk chicken vendor to note a lack of black faces in parts of Brixton? Personally, I don’t recall anyone kicking up a fuss about the latter of the two comments. So I suppose it must be different. At any rate, the important thing to remember is that diversity is our strength. And so, if this sudden influx of English speakers makes Birmingham more diverse, I think we should all applaud it."
Clearly, immigration makes the UK stronger, and people who live in the UK who don't speak English are just as British as everyone else

Energy Secretary attacks Mahmood’s migrant crackdown - "The Energy Secretary has attacked Shabana Mahmood’s migrant crackdown, deepening the split within Andy Burnham’s Cabinet about border controls. Miatta Fahnbulleh said that extending the time foreign nationals had to wait before being granted indefinite leave to remain threatened “the process of building cohesion”. Writing to voters in her Peckham constituency, she said Labour should “raise the level of the debate” and “challenge divisive political rhetoric” around immigration... Ms Fahnbulleh, considered one of the rising stars of the soft Left, was elevated to the Cabinet by Mr Burnham when he became Prime Minister. As a member of his top team, she is bound by collective responsibility, meaning she is obliged to publicly support the policies of the Government. If she wished to explicitly argue against the planned reforms, then she would ordinarily be expected to resign her position. The row about migration reforms is one of several splits within Cabinet, including disagreements about a third runway at Heathrow and North Sea oil and gas."

Why was Mohammed Yaseen treated better than our SAS? | The Spectator - "What should be done with a foreign man who has been a ‘hardened terrorist’ since he was 16, was a member of the group which beheaded Briton Ken Bigley, and went on to join an Isis unit which conducted stonings, beheadings and mass executions? A normal country would deport or permanently jail him. If he was back in the Middle East, he’d be hanged. But in the UK, when this man, the Iraqi Mohammed Yaseen, arrived illegally (leaving Germany after serving a sentence for his Isis membership), we locked him up for six months and then set him free. Despite a British court being told that Yaseen poses ‘a danger to the whole of the UK’, he has applied for asylum and it is being reported that our own Foreign Office ‘has raised concerns’ that he could face ‘mistreatment’ if he’s returned to Iraq. ‘Mistreatment’ because he’s a terrorist, you understand. Yaseen’s asylum claim will be funded by British taxpayers, as will all the legal aid he receives. Meanwhile those who were sent out by the British state to hunt and kill Isis terrorists have been treated very differently. New reporting has revealed that investigations into SAS actions against Isis resulted in soldiers being interviewed by the police over claims they use ‘disproportionate force’ in shooting two teenagers working for the terror state, and then 48 hours later being sent back to Syria to conduct further operations. These men, and many like them, have received minimal support from the Ministry of Defence – just a list of legal aid solicitors they might wish to call. Meanwhile, investigations like these and the interminable Haddon-Cave inquiry grind on, leaving members of the SAS facing the permanent threat of further police action. The result is that many experienced operators are leaving the regiment, making us all less safe. So Isis terrorists are afforded every support and protection, with our own Foreign Office worried about him, while the very best and bravest of our military are hounded by the state they serve. George Simm was Regimental Sergeant Major of 22 SAS. When I spoke to him about these two stories he told me: ‘It is an obscenity to allow foreign fighters into our society – it goes way beyond negligence – and why? Because of a quasi religious adherence to a law (the Human Rights Act) that is only recognised as valid by a tiny fraction of that same society. And for politicians to supinely state that they can’t do anything about “because it is the law” should disqualify them from running anything more important than a whelk stall.’ George is right. This is obscene. The legitimacy of the British state, of any state, rests on it fulfilling its first duty to protect its people and to serve their interests. The UK has become an inverted perversion of this. The state imports thousands upon thousands of dangerous rapists (and now terrorists), provides them with printed ‘guidance’ on why they shouldn’t rape, and then turns them loose in towns and cities across the land. When locals try to prevent these arrivals, the state deploys vast policing resources to ensure they go ahead. When an actual terrorist enters the country our machinery of state is worried that his homeland might do something nasty to him if we send him back there. And when our special forces do their jobs, conducting lawful operations which were directed at the highest level in Regent’s Park, they are treated like criminals for killing our enemies. If anything, George Simm is too kind to the British state. It has entirely failed in its duties and broken its covenant with the British people. A state which actively acts to make its people less safe, which demonstrates daily that it cares more about the comfort and ‘rights’ of foreigners than it does the safety of its own people, and which hides behind ‘the law’ as a justification for these acts has no legitimacy at all. Once I would have described myself as a conservative. No longer. There is almost nothing left worth conserving in the modern British state. We need a reckoning. A new settlement, very many trials and proscriptions for those politicians, civil and public servants responsible for these crimes against the British people, and a new state which will serve the British people. This obscenity must end."
Human rights are designed to destroy the West, after all
