What's causing the Islamophobic riots across the UK, and why now?

1. The riots have been instigated by the Zionist asset Stephen Yaxley-Lennon ('Tommy Robinson'), who has been working for the State of Israel since 2009 as part of the so-called 'counterjihad' Islamophobia movement established by that state. When his organisation, the English Defence League, was incorporated in 2011, two years after its inception, it was named the English & Jewish Defence League. The Jewish Defence League, a Zionist terrorist organisation, has been a key part of violent Islamophobic street thuggery in the UK over the past decade.

2. Yaxley-Lennon is one of the most high-profile actors in the State of Israel's Online Influencers Programme in response to Operation Al-Aqsa Storm. He and others, like Oli London, Noa Tishby, Hen Mazzig, Arsen Ostrovsky and Emily Schrader (and many others) are paid to distribute Zionist propaganda, of which pushing back against pro-Palestine protests and sowing Islamophobia are two important and interlinked aims.

3. The recent Islamophobic riots in the UK should be seen as the latest phase of the State of Israel's war on British Muslims, who it sees as originating the protest movement in the UK. These riots are designed to punish Muslims for their anti-Zionist sentiment after various other methods to suppress opposition to Zionism by the State of Israel have been thwarted. The State of Israel's attempts to use its assets and operatives in the British political and media class — such as Suella Braverman and Michael Gove — to thwart pro-Palestinian protests have failed. Zionist counter-protests have failed to mobilise significant numbers. Sporadic Zionist thuggery and the use of other assets — such as Iranian secularist extremists — have also failed to intimidate Muslims. So now the State of Israel is weaponising its cannon fodder on the white nationalist far-right, who have greater numbers than either Zionist street thugs or Iranian monarchists and secularist extremists.

4. Finally, there are also questions about which actor authored the idea that Muslims were responsible for the ostensible triggers for these events. MI6 and its assets (eg Paul Mason) are desperately trying to pretend this was a Russian disinfo op. But the original stories did not come from Russia. Where did they come from?

Pretty sure X has only existed for a year, so can't see how I can have a 7-year anniversary? 🤔🙄

10 most controversial exposé by WikiLeaks founded by Julian Assange.

Thread🧵

[Jim Cooper @JimC_at_Work]

👏👏👏👏👏

[WikiLeaks @wikileaks]

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE

Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.

This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.

After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.

WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.

As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.

Julian's freedom is our freedom.

[Campaign to End Loneliness @EndLonelinessUK]

Great news! The Campaign to End Loneliness is back and under management of a new team!

Professor Andrea Wigfield and Associate Professor Antonia Ypsilanti of the Centre for Loneliness Studies at Sheffield Hallam University have taken over the Campaign from the previous team as co-directors.

They bring with them years of experience and expertise of research in the field of loneliness.

Andrea is a leading researcher on loneliness and social isolation, specialising in the wider health and social determinants and implications through research, programme evaluation, and evidence-based policy and practice. She has managed around over 100 research projects, many co-produced with organisations and individuals. She is committed to producing research which can translate into policy and practice change.

Antonia is a behavioural scientist and leading researcher on loneliness and mental health outcomes. She is particularly interested in how people with different loneliness experiences perceive, interpret, and interact with their social environment. She is collaborating closely with community groups at-risk for socio-economic exclusion and with organisations interested in tackling loneliness, and promoting social welfare and mental health. Antonia has rich experience in leading or co-leading research grants funded by the European Commission, Age UK, and the Youth Endowment Fund. She is also an active member in her community engaging in a lot of charitable and social welfare activities.

-----------------

As a team we’re in the process of establishing a new Advisory Board and a PPIE group of people with lived experience of loneliness to guide our work. If you are interested in either please contact us. We will soon be back with regular posts, newsletters, and information to help continue the Campaign to End Loneliness.

Don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter by following the link to our website in the bio.
