Boiling Point

July saw a series of high-profile racial attacks with white people as the victims. Anthony Esan, a black man, was charged with attempted murder over the stabbing of Lieutenant Colonel Mark Teeton near Gillingham’s Brompton Barracks. Yostin Andres Mosquera has been charged with two counts of murder regarding the discovery of body parts in Bristol. The victims have been named as Albert Alfonso and Paul Longworth, both of London’s Shepherds Bush.

Three white police officers needed hospital treatment after an altercation with two Pakistani men at Manchester Airport. In response to a video of the incident, Pakistani rioters mobbed Rochdale police station. In Leeds, Eastern European gypsies rioted after the police took at-risk children into care. In the background, continuing communal hostility heightened by war in Gaza.

Amongst this, on Thursday 25th July my wife and I took one of our day trips on the train, this time to Birmingham. A high-profile presence from the Transport Police suggested a raised risk level and another incident might be imminent.

Across the following weekend, the headlines turned to the Middle East. Twelve Druze children were killed in a rocket attack at the village of Majdal Shams within the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights. Also at the weekend, Reuters reported at least 30 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a school housing displaced people in Gaza. The local Hamas-run government media office said 15 children and eight women were among those who died in the strike in the central town of Deir Al-Balah. More than 100 people were wounded.

On Monday, 29th July, the bloodshed came closer to home. At 11:45 am a taxi delivered a hoodie-wearing covid mask-covered passenger to The Hart Space on Hart Street in Southport. According to witnesses, the passenger refused to pay the fare and could access the venue through an unlocked door as parents collected their children at the end of a Taylor Swift-themed holiday dance event.

In the ensuing attack, two little girls were murdered. A third died at Liverpool’s Alderhay Hospital the following day. Eight other children and two adults were injured. Soon after the attack, pictures emerged on social media of blood-stained young girls lying in the street. A suspect was detained by police at the scene, with a house on School Road in the nearby village of Banks being raided soon afterwards.

That evening at a seven o’clock press conference, Chief Constable Serena Kennedy of the Merseyside Police said the person arrested was a 17-year-old male, resident in Banks but originally from Cardiff. Despite the motivation being ‘unclear’, the Chief Constable stated the attack was not being treated as terror-related. At the same time, a vigil for the victims was taking place outside the Atkinson Building in central Southport.

A few hours later, the BBC reported disorder was breaking out ‘close to where the stabbing took place.’ We now know the location of that disturbance to be a mosque on the corner of Sussex Road and St Luke Road, less than a mile from the Atkinson. Live TikTok footage taken by members of the public showed an angry crowd of several hundred surrounding a mosque being guarded by police in riot gear supported by two police vans, one of which was set on fire.

During the following difficult days, the violence there and in numerous other locations across the country was to be explained with an unconvincing certainty. Amongst other establishment and mainstream media bette noirs; the EDL, Tommy Robinson, the Far Right, misinformation, Islamophobia, racism, hashtag FarageRiots, social media, Putin and Russian bots, were called out. The open-minded remain unconvinced.

It was a full ten days later before the rioting died down. On the evening of Wednesday, 7th August, one hundred much-heralded protests didn’t take place. They were never going to as the story was mainstream media fake news. The following morning, Nick Lowles of Hope Not Hate conceded the previous night’s hundred planned riots story had been a hoax. However, he tweeted it was worthwhile because of the ‘anti-racist’ headlines it generated for the next morning’s mainstream news cycle.

Perhaps he was unaware that the coinciding anti-protest gatherings included a Labour councillor being arrested for threatening to cut throats. A black anti-riot riot in Croydon resulted in 15 arrests. The statutory metropolitan abuse of Jews by Free Palestine activists raised its head in Wandsworth. Lowes also forgot to mention his own incendiary fake news story about a Muslim woman being the victim of an acid attack.

In the lull, the BBC felt confident enough to publish a Marianna Spring piece debunking their own narrative of how the troubles began. Under the headline ‘The real story of the news website accused of fuelling riots’ Ms Spring explained away her own mainstream media’s previous reports that the rioting had been caused by misinformation from a Russian-operated website. Her summary can be read here and revolves around content trawled from the web and aggregated into a crime-based clickbait site called Channel3Now.

At a glance, the automated nature of this site, through its mixture of gobblygook and AI-repackaged material from elsewhere, was suspect. The serious end of alternative media were already looking elsewhere for information. Puffins are aware Hope Not Hate and Marianna Spring’s content is not prepared by themselves but fed to them by contractors employed by the government. An arrangement explained in a previous article entitled ‘Citizens Khan And The Home Office Propaganda Effort’ which can be read here.

At the outset, the London media-political-legal bubble blamed the rioting on information contained in a Channel3Now article claiming the Southport stabber to be an illegal immigrant Muslim on an intelligence services watch list. However, Channel3Now only aggregates information from elsewhere. Further investigations led to a Ms Bernadette Spofforth becoming the suspected source.

In her defence, she claims she sent a Tweet after copying information from another online post that has since been deleted. A Chester resident, she adds, “Why on earth would I make something up like that? I have nothing to gain and everything to lose.” The fifty-five-year-old South African-educated social commentator has since been arrested on suspicion of stirring racial hatred by spreading false information, and has been bailed while enquiries continue.

The morning after the Southport press conference, media attention turned to Cardiff. Although the 17-year-old’s identity could not be released for legal reasons related to his age, mainstream media will already have known and were able to trace sources in Wales. ‘Helen’, a former Cardiff neighbour of the suspect’s family, spoke of her shock at hearing the news from Southport.

“They were a lovely young couple. They were little boys, they were boisterous. Mum was a stay-at-home mum, Dad was nice, he went to work every day. They had a small family car, a little hatchback. They said they’d come from Rwanda and I thought, whatever you’ve been through, you deserve privacy.

“I’m not going to pry, you know, you’ve already got a story, and it’s probably not a good one. It (the Rwandan genocide) had been in the news about a year before that. They were a normal family and they were normal kids trying to make ends meet. We chatted over the garden fence. You know, in the summer the back doors open, we chatted over the fence.”

Regarding the Rwandan genocide (to which we will return), that took place between April and July 1994. The family are said to have arrived in Britain in 2002. Despite what ‘Helen’ says, almost a decade, rather than a year, after the violence. Another report from Cardiff mentioned the boy and his father’s interest in karate. This important free information led non-mainstream media investigators to the arrested boy’s identity.

A trawl of the local Southport newspapers uncovered a 2015 article which combined both Rwanda, karate and provided matching dates. Under the headline ‘Alphonse gets to where he wants to be – after 19 hard years’ the Southport Visitor reported an Alphonse Rudakubana had earned his black belt after two decades of study in three different countries. Besides references to Cardiff, Southport and karate, it also mentions the Rwandan coming to the UK in 2002.

Referring to the births, deaths and marriages index showed only two Cardiff entries for the surname Rudakubana. An August 2006 birth matched the age of the arrested 17-year-old. The given name is Axel Muganwa Rudakubana and the mother is Leticia Muzayire. The other entry, and with the same mother, was Dion Rudakubana. Born two years earlier, this is Axel Rudakubana’s older brother. Therefore, on the morning of the day after the attack, the name of the suspect began to circulate on social media.

As for the Rudabubana boys being ‘normal kids’. A Southport Rotary Club website shows Dion Rudakubana seated in a wheelchair supplied by the five rotary clubs in the Southport area after his father contacted them to help fund a new wheelchair for his son. Axel has been described as being on the autism spectrum and as rarely leaving the family home. The local news website Formby Bubble states they have been told informally that Axel was expelled from school. The Bubble continued:

“Inquiries were made to Range High School regarding Rudakubana’s attendance and any possible insights they might offer. However, a school spokesperson stated, “I am sorry, but we have been advised, as it is still an ongoing police investigation, not to comment.”

As for ‘Helen’, if she’d pried, she might have discovered the following. According to the Southport Visitor, Alphonse began karate training in his native Rwanda in 1996, two years after the genocide. After studying the sport there for three years, he took his first belts in the African country (1999) before moving to the UK in 2002 and resuming his training.

Reports from Rwanda and Rwandan exiles claim Alphonse to be a Tutsi survivor of the genocide, a close relative of Wellars Gasmagers – secretary-general of President Paul Kagame’s Rwandan Patriotic Front – and a boy soldier during the genocide. Mainstream media will be aware of the veracity, or otherwise, of these claims but dare not broach the subject because of the incendiary nature of both the case and of ‘tinderbox’ Britain.

Likewise, with leaked WhatsApp messages and social media nearer to home. Despite the cherubic photographs released to media, sources close to the Rudakubana family claim the younger brother was the subject of a Deprivation of Liberty Order. Those close to his old school allege Axel was expelled for carrying a knife. Leaked WhatsApp messages touch upon ‘radicalisation’ and suggest the Rudakubana home was often visited by the police.

Mention of radicalisation, combined with other coincidences, leads us to Vienna. The Thursday, Friday and Saturday of the first week in August (when the protests and rioting here were at their height) saw the cancellation of three Taylor Swift concerts in the Austrian capital. Two teenage suspects have been arrested on suspicion of plotting to attack the young female concertgoers. The suspects are variously described as ‘Iraqi’, ‘Austrian with North Macedonian roots’ and an ‘Austrian of Turkish-Croatian heritage’.

The authorities believe the plot was inspired by al-Qaida and Islamic State. Bomb-making material has been recovered. A blurred photograph released to the press shows a suspect armed with two knives. During a press conference, the head of the Austrian Directorate of State Security and Intelligence, Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, stated one of the suspects wanted to use the weapons outside the Taylor Swift venue to kill as many people as possible. As a reminder of how quickly radicalisation can snowball, one of the suspects had only recently pledged his allegiance to Islamic State.

Despite the real name of the Southport suspect eventually being released with the permission of a judge, and channel3news-type content being contradicted in a wave of mainstream and official social media content, the violence in Britain not only continued but intensified and spread. Some of the worst affected areas were near-neighbours Middlesborough, Sunderland and Hartlepool.

The mention of Hartlepool leads us to another date, 25th April 2024, and reminds us the riots were not caused by misinformation but by the real consequences of immigration, illegal immigration and Islam. Only weeks before the rioting broke out, 45-year-old illegal immigrant Ahmed Ali was convicted of the murder of a 70-year-old local man called Terrance Carney.

The previous October, a week after the present wave of violence in Israel and Gaza began, Alid, a Moroccan national, attacked a fellow resident in an illegal immigrant multiple occupancy in the town’s Warton Terrace. Shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’, he first stabbed the Christian convert who also lived in the property before leaving the building and heading toward Hartlepool town centre.

En route, he circled 70-year-old Mr Carney before stabbing him to death from behind. When questioned after his arrest, during which time he assaulted two female detectives, Alid described Mr Carney as an innocent victim who was killed because Britain had created the Zionist entity of Israel.

Yet more evidence to suggest the recent disturbances have little to do with Russian bots, the EDL, or misinformation. Rather, they were a spontaneous White Lives Matter-type uprising by British people in response to being victimised by immigration, Islam, multiculturalism and their lower-tier citizenship within their own two-tier country. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, a cycle of violence often involving children puts a question mark beside the officially stated motive for recent atrocities.
