ER Editor: This tweet by Charlie Ward below from March of this year tipped us off to stunning news we haven’t yet heard about. ‘Jack Straw’, we believe, is a white hat account; Charlie Ward himself is white hat-connected. The 9-minute Youtube video below explains Charlie’s brief 1-minute message in broadstrokes. 

This comes from March of this year.

Message below video (a transcript is also available) —

This video explores the historic decision made recently by the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) group to impose sanctions on the United States and Israel in response to the rapidly intensifying events in Gaza, Palestine. This action has generated intense debate and discussion around the world because it has significant ramifications for diplomacy, international relations, and the Middle East peace process. We’ll provide you a thorough analysis of the decision’s historical background, ramifications, worldwide reactions, and the function of international diplomacy.

With historical origins in the late 1800s, the Gaza conflict has persisted as a divisive and deeply ingrained problem in the Middle East. The BRICS countries have taken unprecedented action as a result of recent events that have caused a worldwide uproar. In order to address the underlying reasons of the ongoing conflict, a range of measures, including economic sanctions,

arms embargoes, and diplomatic isolation, were decided upon and applied to both Israel and the United States. We will discuss the economic sanctions imposed on Israel, including trade and investment prohibitions, arms embargoes to limit the country’s access to weaponry, and diplomatic isolation through ambassador withdrawals and the cancellation of diplomatic gatherings. The international reputation of Israel and its activities in the West Bank and Gaza are greatly affected by these sanctions.

We’ll also talk about the sanctions imposed on the US because of its strong backing for Israel and large-scale military assistance to the Israeli government. In an effort to persuade the United States to reevaluate its position on the conflict and its function as the main mediator in the Middle East peace process, diplomatic pressure and economic sanctions have been used.

The video will also discuss how the BRICS sanctions have been received around the world. While many countries embrace the measure as a way to hold Israel accountable and advance a diplomatic solution, Israel and the US have expressed their strong objections.

We’ll focus on the responses from the Middle East, where Arab states have differing views, and the UN’s mediation role in the matter. The video will also examine how these sanctions are affecting the Middle East peace process, focusing on how they are affecting the U.S.-Israeli relationship, how difficult it is to resolve long-standing conflicts, and the larger regional context. With the Middle East Quartet stepping up its mediation efforts, Egypt and Jordan playing significant roles as middlemen, and the necessity of sincere talks and reconstruction efforts to forge a route towards peace, international diplomacy has taken centre stage.

The BRICS sanctions imposed on Israel and the US mark a turning point in the continuing Gaza conflict by indicating a change in global dynamics and a fresh determination to resolve the situation. The Middle East and Gaza may have a better future with sustained international pressure, positive communication, and regional involvement, but the path to peace is still difficult. Stay tuned as we explore this important global topic in greater detail.

UK’s Night Of The Ghost Fascism

If a far right protest is rumoured but no one turns up, can it be counter-protested?

By Charlotte Gill via The Critic,

Did you know that the UK defeated fascism on Wednesday? Blink and you might have missed it, but newspapers were swift to record The Battle of Britain, August 7, 2024 — history ready to be clipped and filed away, handed to the grandkids one day. 

“Night anti-hate marchers faced down the thugs”, ran The Daily Mail’s front page, The Times’ equivalent reading “Thousands take to street to confront far right”. Lisa Nandy, the Culture Secretary, took to X to proclaim:

“The history of our town is working class people who have driven the far right out of town over and over again for 100 years. Our community sent that message again last night.”

But where was this “far right”? The existential threat that had been so valiantly “driven out” by groups such as “Grannies Against Fascism” and the legions of millennial hipsters that had gathered in Walthamstow? 

Earlier that day the borough’s MP Stella Creasy delivered a video message on X. Sporting large shades — perhaps hiding weary eyes; the sort Churchill might have had ahead of D-Day — she updated locals on “how to get home safely tonight”. In spite of the hazardous conditions, probably not dissimilar to those experienced by Londoners during the Blitz, Walthamstow’s warriors later braved the outdoors to show fascism what for.

Their fortitude was all the more commendable given the endless stream of TV broadcasts about tens of far right units deployed to different parts of the UK. ITV’s Paul Brand spoke of 6,000 police officers “on standby”, while shops boarded up their windows. Taking to X, one brave soldier, by the name of “Paddy Tofu”, wrote “The last time I actively stood against the fash was in my 20s”. He confessed that, now in his 50s, he felt less confident in his combat skills. “Still going tho”, he ended. That’s the spirit! As Vera Lynn put it,  “we’ll meet again”!

But as Paddy Tofu stood on the frontlines, shoulder to shoulder with his courageous comrades, the Far Right appeared to have gone mysteriously AWOL — and with it, reality too. To anyone with fully-functioning eyesight, there were, at most, handfuls of unsavoury souls dotted around the country. Some of the Far Right — “four or five”, reported Pink News — reared their fascistic heads in Brighton. Photos of them being confronted by “anti-fascists” didn’t exactly look like the Allies (hypothetically) storming into Hitler’s bunker. The Far Right Four (or five?) gave the impression that one or other of them might say “Tommy Robinson tells it as it is!” after a few pints and own a Princess Diana mug. But was this “the Far Right” aka members of a growing and vast network of fascists? Going on headlines alone, you might believe Wednesday saw the thwarting of the “Brighton Anschluss”.

These days I do tend to wonder how many modern “anti-fascists”, some sporting balaclavas (the surefire sign of being on the right side of history), know about World War II and other periods they invoke. We are warned more about history than ever before — yet almost always with the effect of minimising it. The meaning of words — fascism, Nazi, far right — have been totally rewritten.

At the helm of this revisionism is the Establishment — the media and a Government that lied and continues to lie to Brits about how big the far right threat is. The Labour Party is quite prepared to conflate teenage boys smashing the window of Greggs (as happened in some of the riots) with the few extreme ideological right-wing nutters Britain has, should it help boost “far right” numbers.

Exaggerations around the size of the far right are hardly new. In 2023, a report commissioned by the Conservative government warned that Prevent (the UK’s counter terrorism service) “has a double standard when dealing with the Extreme Right-Wing and Islamism. Prevent takes an extensive approach to the Extreme Right-Wing, capturing a variety of influences that, at times, has been so broad it has included mildly controversial or provocative forms of mainstream, right-wing leaning commentary that have no meaningful connection to terrorism or radicalisation”, whereas it has increased the threshold for Islamist extremism. It’s noteworthy that, in 2021, referrals for Extreme Right-Wing ideology were higher than Islamist referrals (25 per cent and 22 per cent, respectively), even though Islamist extremism is still the UK’s largest threat — by far.

Often it feels as if the diversity paradigm has been embedded into counter-terror strategy; as though, in trying to seem inclusive and determined to combat “Islamophobia”, the authorities, media and politicians “overcompensate” by exaggerating Far Right numbers (“LOOK HOW MUCH WE CALL OUT THEM TOO!”).

But where was the Far Right yesterday, and in general? Does this neo-Nazi collective have a name or lair? A “Far Right Caliphate”? Could members be deradicalised from whatever it is they’ve been programmed into? These are the questions that won’t be asked, never mind answered, by the Establishment, desperate to have its “big, bad wolf”, even though lack of one should surely be a cause for celebration.

The Establishment’s hyping up of “the far right” is not only a type of “misinformation”, but dangerous on multiple fronts — not least as a pretext for mission creep, whereby anyone guilty of mildly conservative sentiment could be next in line for Starmer, who needs to prove a “Far Right” collective, soaring in size.

Inaccuracy also affects how counter-terrorism resources are allocated, leading to blindspots in what people the security services decide to monitor. It could mean an intelligence agent was taken off a research project about, say, the extremist Islamic militia Ansar al- Sharia, to study men who follow Tommy Robinson on X.

I mention this militia specifically because, in 2012, Khairi Saadallah, a Libyan asylum seeker who “was trained to fight and fought (for a period of at least 8 months), as a member of the now-proscribed group, went on to murder three men who’d met in a Reading park (2020). The swift manner in which he executed his victims, indicative of the fact he had been trained to kill, was commented upon in sentencing remarks.

Saadallah was referred to Prevent four times and known by intelligence services, but never deported back to “unsafe” Libya. Cases like his are surely most pressing for the political class to consider. But Starmer is preoccupied creating 500 new prison spaces for rioters.

In any normal era, politicians and the media would admit that Wednesday was the product of hype — understandably among normal people, who had witnessed the riots over the weekend, but with suspicious credulity among our political and media classes. Yet in any normal era news outlets/ MPs wouldn’t have been so misleading about the scale of the Far Right in the first place. Thugs, however violent, racist and mad, are not the same thing as the fascistic collective they spoke of — as though its size and strategy were parallel to Daesh’s.

Instead, a new narrative was spun about Wednesday. It was a victory for the anti-fascists, said a media apparently modelling itself on North Korean broadcasting. Nothing was said about a “fake list” of rioters nor HOPE not Hate’s Nick Lowles spreading unfounded rumours of an acid attack on a Muslim woman. Meanwhile the country has been locking up “the far right” while releasing people convicted of crimes up to and including manslaughter.

A real confrontation with authoritarians may be sooner than we think.

Biologist Richard Dawkins Says FB Nuked Acct: Post said Male Boxers Shouldn’t Fight Women

(Tyler Durden Reports) – Facebook has nuked the account of famed evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins after he said that genetically male boxers should not be allowed to fight women in the Olympics.

On Saturday morning, Dawkins posted on X about the shocking censorship – saying that there was no reason given for the sudden removal of his account.

“My entire @facebook account has been deleted, seemingly (no reason given) because I tweeted that genetically male boxers such as Imane Khalif (XY undisputed) should not fight women in Olympics. Of course  my opinion is open to civilised argument. But outright censorship?”

My entire @facebook account has been deleted, seemingly (no reason given) because I tweeted that genetically male boxers such as Imane Khalif (XY undisputed) should not fight women in Olympics. Of course my opinion is open to civilised argument. But outright censorship?

— Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) August 10, 2024

[Dawkins presumably meant that he posted it on Facebook, not “tweeted.”]

Social media exploded in controversy following a women’s Olympic boxing match between Italy’s Angela Carini and Imane Khelif of Algeria – in which Carini quit just 46 seconds into the fight after receiving a barrage of powerful punches from Khelif.

Notably, the International Boxing Association banned Khelif and another boxer, Lin Yu-ting from last year’s World Boxing Championships for having failed gender testing.

“This test conclusively indicated that both athletes did not meet the required necessary eligibility criteria and were found to have competitive advantages over other female competitors,” the IBA said in a statement.

Furthermore, IBA president Umar Kremlev told Russian news agency TASS that DNA tests “proved they had XY chromosomes and were thus excluded from the sports events.”

As Why Evolution Is True opines;

There are debates about whether the two boxers in question were of XY chromosome constitution, had high levels of testosterone (they had previously been disqualified in other competitions), or had genetic disorders of sex development (DSDs).

But regardless, to ban someone’s account for expressing the opinion that genetically male boxers shouldn’t fight against biological women is unconscionable. Richard said that one of the boxers is “XY undisputed,” and since I’ve been out of touch, that may be the case.  And if that is the case, then there is a real debate to be had.

There’s a general debate to be had about these boxers anyway since, last I heard, people were arguing about every aspect of the two is subject to dispute.

Facebook botched this one very badly, and should restore Dawkins’s account.

Trump blasts Montana Sen Jon Tester as ‘radical left lunatic’

During Bozeman rally Trump tore into incumbent Sen. Jon Tester, claiming that although he tries to make it seem like he’s a good friend of Trump’s, he’s “never voted” in favor of any of Trump’s policies during his first term in office.

By Misty Severi

Former President Donald Trump on Friday night labeled Montana Sen. Jon Tester, D, as a “radical left lunatic.’”

Trump’s address in Bozeman, Mont., where he was stumping for Republican Senate hopeful Tim Sheehy, came shortly after he was forced to make an unexpected landing in Billings due to a mechanical issue on his plane.

Once at the event, the former president tore into the incumbent, claiming Tester “never voted” in favor of any of Trump’s policies during his first term in office.

“Tester, everyone thinks he’s like my best friend. He’s never for me once, and yet his commercials are ‘I like Donald Trump very much,’” the former president said. “He said, ‘I love his pride, I love his border stance.’ He votes against the border. He voted against funding of the border. He said ‘I love his stance on energy,’ he voted against our energy programs.”

“He votes against us 100% of the time, he’s voted in favor of Joe Biden 100% of the time,” the former president continued. “He did it last time with the election, we had the same problem. You remember he comes out everyone saying he really likes your policy a lot. He does it like he’s a radical left lunatic, just like [Vice President] Kamala [Harris].”

Tester is facing a tough reelection bid against Sheehy, who currently leads him by 3.5% in the RealClearPolitics polling average.
