Musk’s false claims that Pakistanis are behind UK sexual violence—when government and media reports confirm gang-based UK sexual violence is largely white—are rightly termed racist. But it gets worse.
Sherlock Holmes, eat your heart out! You are so blooming good at your job, Seth. Thank you.
I've been wondering if Musk's turnabout decision to "replace" Farage has anything to do with the latter's and Steve Bannon's history. I'm convinced that's why Farage visits the US; he's learning the tricks of the fascist trade from MAGA & Co. Truss too, who's desperately vying for attention right now by issuing a cease and desist to Starmer, former Director of Public Prosecutions, for something he said in June. Thick Lizzy threatening a man of the legal profession... you couldn't make her up, could you?
Not one single Reform MP turned up yesterday (09 Jan) to the House of Commons to debate Violence against Women and Girls. They really don't care about us; it's pure racism.
The government has also confirmed that the counter-extremism unit is looking into Musk's tweets, as well as other large accounts posting similar rhetoric. "... extremism experts warn that the toxicity of social media could once again trigger violence on our streets."
And you made it into our "Daily Mirror" newspaper top reads, Seth! They quoted what you've been posting about Musk, so let's hope more people's ears will prick up and start to take notice. I'm so grateful to you looking into this side of Musk when the U.S. has so much about to worry about. Stay safe.
Stunning, despicable yet altogether unsurprising clarification. In the dark light of which I then realized, a slight rearrangement of letters & Musk yields Skum.
I’m confused. The reports I’ve read - mostly in The Guardian but also elsewhere - do in fact indicate that the so-called grooming gangs in Oldham Northern UK have been men from Asian backgrounds (Pakistani and some Afghani.) And the young women and girls who have been victimized are working class. Happy to look at other sources of info about these crimes…,.
Happy to explain. What Musk and certain other racists on both sides of the Pond did was immediately take the number of alleged victims in that one location (1,400 over 17 years) and artificially, based on nothing at all, extrapolate how many victims of a similar sort they imagined that would mean were extant in the entire United Kingdom over that 17-year period. They then, equally instantaneously, took that number, doubled it, and said that it was the number of girls being raped in the United Kingdom right now as in literally today. They then named the resultant figure that they had pulled from absolutely nowhere "The Grooming Gangs Crisis." And when people ask them what they were referring to they simply described the demographics they claimed were present in those 1,400 cases over 17 years, pretending, you must remember, that those were actually more than 2 million cases happening right now.
But the lies did not stop there. The 1,400 cases in question had involved British nationals of Pakistani background, but since these racists are primarily focused on fighting immigration they had to pretend that these British nationals were actually Pakistani nationals.
As to why they had to lie about all this in the first place, the answer is that gang-based sexual violence in the United Kingdom makes up only 3.6% of all sexual violence, and the overwhelming majority of the perpetrators of gang-based sexual violence in the United Kingdom are white, so these people who so hate non-whites and immigrants needed to have a ready explanation for why they were focusing on perhaps 1% of all sex crimes in the United Kingdom rather than the other 99%. The reason was of course racism, but since they could not say that they artificially inflated the number of cases from that one jurisdiction to a fake extrapolation in the millions so that they could not be questioned on why they were focusing on a minuscule, vanishingly rare phenomenon.
They then pulled the same stunt with respect to victims, erasing all non-white victims of sex crimes in the United Kingdom by focusing on the race of the 1,400 victims over the 17 years in that one jurisdiction. Now to be clear, I do not believe that all of those victims over those 17 years were white, but it certainly was easier to tell that lie once they had so messed with the numbers that no one could even tell what they were referring to anymore. In any case, as I wrote above none of this has to do with migrants, none of this has to do with citizens of Pakistan, all of the numbers and time-frames are fake, and none of these people actually care about sexual violence in the United Kingdom writ large, including gang-based sexual violence.
For most of those involved in this scam it is about racism, for Elon Musk is about both racism and geopolitics.
Well, the fuse is lit in terms of how long Trump and Elon can stand each other before Trump gives him the old heave-ho. I'd be surprised if they last more than a year.
Seth, I'm sure you keep hearing from the likes of Jon Favreau and all the "We HAD to dump Biden!" crowd that "He would've lost by 400 electoral votes, according to our internal polling!" They keep asserting that after the CNN debate, their polling indicated "Trump would win in a landslide!"
I hardly find that credible. Either these polls were deliberately skewed, or they were invented out of thin air to frighten/bludgeon Biden into stepping down, sticking the knife even deeper. Personally, I believe Biden could've pulled it off, but the margin of victory in either case was always going to be tight. (Of course, regardless of who was the Democrat, if RFK Jr. hadn't suspended his campaign, he would've peeled just enough Trump votes to put us over.)
These people have to produce these alleged polls, or shut the hell up.
Tramp and Musk sure appear to be doing a great job of boxing in a tremendous number of countries and individuals who are their opponents. I remain suspicious of Loomer and Bannon in that we have seen this playbook before as well. Seems like Tramp always has people staged to oppose him that then at some point do a lightening speed turn around. Which suits 2 purposes, it gets people riled up in support of these resistors, then when they switch, everyone comes with them. Kind of like if they think it is the right way to go, I guess I do two. Then secondly Tramp uses that as proof his way is so compelling that he wins over adversaries. The problem is, no one knows or has a resistance plan against to the dark side take over. Not that I have heard.
Trump wields huge power, which has made him a magnetic for other oligarchs who would like to use the world as their financial playground. The gravity at the center of that black hole is becoming frightening.
It looks like that they know very well about climate change and call it hoax only for political gain. Their obsession with Canada and Greenland is their 4th reich phantasie. Greenland could be their future climate retreat, where they can defense themselves from the mass migrations they caused.

Not Trump’s second, but first impeachment trial was related to the Zelenskyy shakedown.
You are absolutely correct, of course! Typo on my part. I have fixed it now.

Typo maybe? ".. votes not on the basis of intellect but hatred and age" I assume it is meant to say rage.
Nah... fat lad is definitely full of both hatred and age. His sulky walnut face has more furrows and folds than the Grand Canyon. 😉

Fascinating ! As always Seth, you connect those dots.....
