David Icke has caused massive controversy over the past few months amid his views on 5G and Anti-Vaxx conspiracy theories with many critics claiming that Icke is responsible for the burning of 5G masts across the UK .
Hope Not Hate – that is allegedly funded by George Soros , who for years have targeted anyone not promoting the globalist worldview gloated as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ huge backlash online .
The group claim that Icke ‘ promotes antisemitism and conspiracy theories ’ and said they were delighted to see the former BBC presenter banned from the platform .
In the days leading up to the ban , The Guardian , Nick Cohen and Hope Not Hate and The Center for Countering Digital Hate called for Facebook and other platforms to ban the controversial conspiracy theorist .
Hope Not Hate have also called for Facebook to remove any videos , blogs and other posts in a massive censorship cull .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the time of his page ban was described as “ the single largest promoter of harmful misinformation about COVID-19 and conspiracies of world domination by Jewish people.
” “ From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic , Icke has used his huge social media platform to promote the idea that the coronavirus does not exist and that the measures used to prevent its spread are part of a conspiracy to control the population.
” said Hope Not Hate .
“ Such theories pose a very real risk of public harm ; a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ College London suggests that people who believe such theories are significantly less likely to adhere to public health measures to prevent the spread of the virus.
” “ He has also promoted the conspiracy theories surrounding the rollout of 5G technology that have seen dozens of telecom masts attacked across the UK over the past two months , as well as harassment of telecom engineers carrying out their work.
” “ Icke ’ s promotion of antisemitic conspiracy theories has been well-documented over the years .
He strongly denies being antisemitic , claiming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problem with the Jewish people .
Instead , he claims , it ’ s the “ Rothschild Zionist/Khazarian Mafia/Sabbatian-Frankists ” that he takes issue with .
But the plots and tropes that he ascribes to these nonsensical subcategories of Jewishness are the most traditional and pernicious forms of antisemitism , ones that have caused immeasurable harm and violence against the Jewish people over the centuries.

THE DIGITAL RACKETEERS
STOP Funding Fake News and Scram hate free-speech. Especially speech from left-behind working-class people and the outlets that speak up for them.

The group don’t just go after right-wing news outlets, they go after voices on the left too – anyone who provides an alternative opinion.
Racketeering is a criminal activity in which a person or organization engages in a “racket.”
A racket is when the criminal or shady organization creates a problem for a person or a company – and only the criminal racket can solve it.
Stop Funding Fake News hates free-speech from working-class people and tries to shut down Politicalite, Unity News Network, Rebel Media, The Canary and Evolve Politics.
Scram and Stop Funding Fake News are nothing more than a digital racket, and they are funded by centrist and pro-EU activists and are run shady figures from the Bairite Labour group Left Foot Forward to name a few.
The digital racket email advertisers with the threat of a ‘scandal’ and when companies do not respond, they lobby them on Twitter until they relent.

politicalite--2020-05-04--STRANGER THAN FICTION: How North Korea KIDNAPPED a whole Film Industry in the 1970s

NORTH Korea allegedly kidnapped a whole film industry between 1978–1986 , a documentary now streaming on Netflix UK has claimed .

Eventually the two managed to make films good enough to get them invited to an international film festival in Austria , where they made their escape to the US embassy .

Kim Jong Il, described as “An introverted, artistic man”, who had accidentally inherited supreme power over 25 million people, but it wasn’t the day-to-day operation of the family business — totalitarian power — that really excited him. No, he harbored a little-known passion for film.
No matter how many people he threatened, tortured, and killed, none of them could make a decent movie. He decided the solution was to kidnap a film industry.
So, he started with Choi Eun-hee, a famous South Korean actress whom he admired.
She was captured in Hong Kong, drugged, and woke up the “guest” of Kim. Later, the same thing happened to her ex-husband, formerly one of the top film directors in South Korea, Shin Sang-ok.
Eventually the two managed to make films good enough to get them invited to an international film festival in Austria, where they made their escape to the US embassy.
That, in itself, is a fascinating story, but there are some intriguing ambiguities in it that give The Lovers and the Despot now streaming on Netflix UK the charm of a film noir. It’s well-known that Shin was washed up in the South Korean film industry, down to his last pennies, and that once in North Korea he was given essentially unlimited funding by the regime.

Another ambiguity is why there is so much supporting material to document their experience; some extensive recordings, in particular, are surrounded by mystery.
A perhaps too cynical, but comically intriguing, possibility presents itself: Once captured, did Shin essentially decide to make a film about these events, let them play out, and boldly document them at the time so he could make a movie about them afterward?
Part of the reason that thought comes to mind is that the story reminds one enormously of the classic film Sunset Boulevard, in which a struggling Hollywood writer becomes the accidental guest of a fading and insane silent film actress and ends up her near captive.
It is amusing to think of the unwitting dictator Kim being cast by Shin in the role of Norma Desmond (“I’m ready for my close-up, Mr. Shin!”).
Much of the story is told in a series of visual flashbacks, which are both the documentary’s greatest strength and its greatest weakness. These colorful reenactments are mixed with actual footage, which gives it at times the full entertainment quality almost the caliber of a narrative film, but they also make it occasionally difficult to tell what is reenactment and what is real. The story lends itself so much to dramatic effect, it’s understandable why the telling drifted in that direction.
The horrors of North Korea are not delved into much here, and are only alluded to, but one quote in that regard is memorable. Choi, interviewed for the film, soberly explains how her acting ability saved her: “There’s acting for films.
Then there’s acting for life.” It was in the end their talent, Choi’s acting ability and Shin’s ability to direct a film good enough to get them an invitation to tour in Europe, that ultimately saved them – that, and Kim’s ego, which could not turn down the possibility of travel for the two in the name of winning international recognition for his beloved film industry.
The Lovers and the Despot, with a story stranger than fiction, is something more than a typical documentary. I think the charismatic Shin (who died in 2006), a director’s director who adored dramatic effect, would have approved.

A LABOUR MP has written to Priti Patel asking the Home Secretary to explain why the Grooming Gang review has not been released.
Catherine McKinnell MP, who is Chair of the Petitions Committee in the House of Commons and said: “I am writing to request a revised Government response to e-petition 300239, calling on the Government to release the Home Office’s Grooming Gang Review in full.”
“My Committee considered your department’s response to this petition at its meeting on Tuesday 5 May, and agreed that it did not directly address the request made by the petitioner, and therefore did not meet the standard for Government responses that has been agreed with the Leader of the House.”
“Your department’s response explains the Government’s current work on child sexual abuse, which includes investigating the characteristics of group-based child sexual exploitation, and states that this work will inform the Government’s forthcoming strategy.”
“However, the response fails to respond to the petitioner’s request for this work to be published. My Committee has already received a significant volume of correspondence complaining about the Government’s response, and I am sure that your department has been receiving similar correspondence directly.”
“Your department’s response to this petition was also substantially late. A response to this e-petition was requested on 6 March, but not received until 24 April. It has been agreed with the Leader of the House that the Government will respond within 21 days, making your response four weeks late. ”
“I fully appreciate that the Government is currently under significant pressure, but it is disappointing to receive a late response that also fails to adequately respond to the petition. I am therefore writing on behalf of the Committee to request a revised response that directly responds to the request made by the petition. ”
“This should clearly state whether the Government will publish its research into the characteristics of group-based child sexual exploitation. If the Government does plan to publish this, your response should set out in what form and when.”
” If the Government does not plan to publish this, your response should explain the reasons for this. I would be grateful if you could provide a revised response before the House rises for Whitsun, on Wednesday 20 May, given the substantial time that signatories to this petition have already been waiting for the Government response. I am copying this letter to the Leader of the House, with whom the standards for Government responses and timeframes within which these should be provided have been agreed.”

HOME Secretary Priti Patel has been criticised for not doing enough to tackle illegal immigration amid the Coronavirus pandemic as Brits are lockdown and pubs are closed , yet migrants continue to pour in the country .
The current crisis has seen hundreds of illegal migrants arrive on Britain ’ s shores , adding to the 20,703 people who came last year , according to official government statistics .
Tory MP ’ s are raising concerns but the main political figure questioning this is the former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage , who covered the issue for LBC , leading @ @ @ @ @ @ @ violating lockdown rules .
Conservative MP for Dover Natalie Elphicke has said : “ Today ’ s brazen illegal crossings as we celebrate # VEDay75 is another reminder why firm action is needed to stop the ruthless smuggling gangs & return boats to France.
” “ Since December I have been calling on the home secretary to ensure small boats are returned to France and that we put an end to these illegal small boat crossings organised by criminal gangs .
“ The home secretary has listened and taken action .
This week @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more stringent patrols and work towards returns .
“ Only when migrants and traffickers alike know that they will not succeed in breaking into Britain in this way will these dangerous journeys cease.
” Romford MP Andrew Rosindell wrote a letter to Patel so the issue could be tackled .
Patel sais she was ‘ listening to concerns about migrant boats and taking action ’ and the main solution that came out of a meeting was to ‘ increase financial support to the French to try and tackle the issue ’ .
Many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feeling it wasn ’ t doing enough to tackle the problem .
User Alison Parr felt that it was simply ‘ paying France ’ ( arguing that the Dublin III regulation – which determines the EU ’ s asylum policies , and affects non-EU members like Switzerland , Norway and Iceland – should be revoked ) and Dover based business owner Clive Solly replied to the message with a bunch of angry emojis to express his frustration at nothing being done .
Populist commentator and former UKIP Lambeth representative David Poulden highlighted that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ , and former UKIP leader Gerard Batten felt that she ‘ shouldn ’ t ask the French ’ and instead should ‘ use what ’ s left of the Navy for something useful ’ by turning the boats back .

We must revoke the Dublin 111 Regulation, which allows people who have travelled over several countries to claim asylum anywhere they choose. Otherwise all we can do is keep paying France to hold them back.

No more money to France. They clearly have no wish to stop the crossings – they support migrants in getting to Calais & on boats.

THE US State Department said Friday that they have uncovered evidence that the Chinese government is using social media bots to spread disinformation about the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The Global Engagement Center (GEC), which is a department within the State Department whose mission is to detect foreign disinformation, has discovered that Chinese embassies and diplomats have been using thousands of fake social media accounts on Twitter to spread their messages, which are aimed at shifting the blame for the pandemic away from China.
“The GEC has uncovered a new network of inauthentic Twitter accounts which we assess were created with the intent to amplify Chinese propaganda and disinformation,” Lea Gabrielle, the GEC’s Coordinator, said during a press conference on Friday, according to a report by The Epoch Times. “It’s our assessment that this network could be deployed to allow the Chinese Communist Party to rapidly amplify and spread messages around the world, skewing the conversation to its benefit.”
