CAIR slams General for “revolting promotion of the anti-Muslim trope that Muslim youth in UK engage in sex crimes”
By Robert Spencer. May 1, 2020:
Robert McCaw and the others at Hamas-linked CAIR are banking on the ignorance of the public. The phenomenon of Muslim rape gangs in Britain is well known to those who dare to face the facts.
The Guardian reported in October 2014 that “sexual exploitation of vulnerable children has become the social norm in some parts of Greater Manchester.” The perpetrators were overwhelmingly Muslim men, as in Rochdale, where a group of Muslims were involved in a large-scale sex trafficking ring involving young non-Muslim girls.
In the British town of Rotherham, Muslim gangs brutalized, sexually assaulted, and raped over 1,400 young British girls, while authorities remained extremely reluctant to say or do anything in response, for fear of being labeled “racist.” Rotherham officials “described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought as racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.”
And what were the ethnic origins of those perpetrators? The Guardian report didn’t mention it (which in itself was telling), but 75%, and probably more (since it was so politically unacceptable to report such things) of these rape and sexual exploitation gangs were “Asian,” which is British Newspeak for “Muslim.”
According to official figures released in December 2019, over 18,700 children had fallen prey to grooming and rape gangs in Britain during the previous year. This was up from some 15,000 victims in 2014.
Former Home Secretary Sajid Javid noted that the perpetrators included a “high proportion of men of Pakistani heritage.” That’s why the British authorities were so slow to act. The mother of one rape gang victim noted that South Yorkshire Police “would not listen and left you in dangerous situations, letting people do what they wanted and they never questioned anybody about what was happening.” One South Yorkshire Police official even told this victim’s father that the perpetrators could not be prosecuted because of who they were: “With it being Asians, we can’t afford for this to be coming out.” The official also observed that the rape gangs had been operating freely in Britain for thirty years.
Politicalite “reported in 2018 that ex-North West Chief prosecutor alleged that the Home Office ordered police to ignore grooming gang claims in 2008 – though Home Secretary Jacqui Smith had nothing to do with the order.” The news site also noted that Nazir Afzal, who “successfully prosecuted the notorious Rochdale rape gang told the BBC in 2018 that in 2008 the Home Office sent a circular email to all police forces calling on them to not investigate the sexual exploitation of young girls in towns and cities across the UK.” Said Afzal: “You may not know this, but back in 2008 the Home Office sent a circular to all police forces in the country saying ‘as far as these young girls who are being exploited in towns and cities, we believe they have made an informed choice about their sexual behaviour and therefore it is not for you police officers to get involved in.’”

So who is Robert McCaw trying to kid? Why, everyone. And if he keeps this up, he may end up getting a plum position in the British government.

The only criminals here are the cops, not the business owner. They don’t even know the law to cite that has been broken and claim the man is a “criminal.”
Jack Burns at The Free Thought Project has the story.
Winslow, AZ — For all intents and purposes, Native American trinket and souvenir dealer Daniel J. Mazon was attempting to comply with the closure of non-essential businesses in Winslow, Arizona where his roadside business is located. He got his business license changed on to read “Indian Department Store” in March. But that wasn’t enough for Winslow police to leave the 71-year-old man alone.
They continued coming by his business, even after he’d changed his business license, ordering him to close, and justifying it by saying they got calls from concerned citizens the elderly man was running a business which wasn’t essential. Mazon remarked:
Corona Bologna
Once again, after showing responding officers his new business license and declaring he is selling hay, food, and dog food, Mazon believed he had done all he needed to do to comply with the COVID-19 restrictions.
However, this time, the officers decided to place the man in handcuffs for the simple act of defying to give them his driver’s license. In his elderly mind he “was not driving” so why should he have to provide a driver’s license. Cops told the man he was being arrested and he then said he’d give them his driver’s license. But it was too late.
They put the cuffs on him, stuffed him into the back of a squad car, and gave the money from his wallet, which they’d seized, to his wife. She was so distraught she started sharing religious messages with the police who we presume would just say they were “doing their jobs”.
Unconvinced Mazon was an “essential business” one officer stated his store, based on his perception:
Does not qualify as a department store.
The elderly businessman accused the police officers of not understanding the law, violating his constitutional rights to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, and to not be unlawfully arrested. He told the men:
You guys don’t have a right to touch me or even handle me
In the end, Mazon stood his ground, and avoided arrest but he declared he was “close enough in compliance to your violation.” He also hinted that he would continue to run his business even though the detaining officer told him once again to “stay closed”.
Mazon wasn’t hurting anyone, was selling essential goods, and had attempted to comply by getting his license changed. Mind you, feed and seed stores were open, pet stores were open, and Mazon was simply trying to make a living by meeting the buying needs of the public during an epidemic.
Officers eventually relented in their pursuit to arrest Mazon, deciding to give him a citation, after all. Why other businesses can remain open (which are large department chains usually) and why small businesses like Mazon’s are forced to close remains a mystery to many Americans, actually spurring protests all throughout the United States.
Let’s be clear. Had Mr. Mazon attempted to resist arrest in any way, those police officers who presumably have elderly parents of their own, would have thrown him to the ground, and violently kidnapped the man away from his business and wife, all to enforce the dictatorial mandate of Governor Doug Ducey. It is becoming clearer with every passing day the basis upon which COVID-19 restrictions were put into place is starting to crumble.
While the pandemic is killing thousands of people, overall the virus is apparently not as dangerous as first suspected and continuing to deprive citizens of the right to work is leading to further chaos and needless confrontations with police. In Mazon’s own words to one of the officers who later returned his cell phone:
Are you worried about corona? It’s nonsense. It’s used to take over our country.
Someone give Mr. Mazon a medal for standing up for what he believes in the face of two badge wearing men with guns. Not only did he not get arrested, he showed everyone who wants to work during the so-called quarantine just how to attempt to legally do it. He got his business license changed to demonstrate he’s an essential business and he did not back down even when threatened with arrest. Mr. Mazon, we at TFTP salute you. Thank you for your service.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-05-02--Apple Funded Magazine Runs Article Celebrating China, Calling for Internet Censorship

The war between Big Tech and the Bill of Rights is really heating up .
The latest shot was fired at The Atlantic , a publication funded by Steve Jobs ’ widow through the Emerson Collective , ( that ’ s spelled Apple if you aren ’ t familiar with the ins and outs of Silicon Valley dynasties ) , celebrating the Chinese solution to free speech .
China is more than the tech industry ’ s partner : it ’ s the future .
The social credit system and surveillance society , the skyscrapers and robotics , the high-speed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than just TED talks , they ’ re a grim chrome-plated reality .
The censorship , surveillance , and propaganda deployed by Silicon Valley in response to the pandemic was a Chinese solution privatized in an American fashion .
Gates , like other Silicon Valley technocrats , has to keep spreading the myth of Chinese expertise in battling the Wuhan Virus , not just because Microsoft needs the approval of the Communists , but because the Peeps are to tech industry technocrats what the Soviet Union with its collective farms and planned economy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ academics of nine decades ago .
The future .
The one thing that China ’ s Xi and Gates ’ corporate culture in Redmond could agree on is that people are stupid and need to be told what to do .
Most will never do what they ’ re supposed to unless they ’ re manipulated , prodded , and even bullied into doing what the masters of the universe think they should .
And The Atlantic ’ s piece embodies all of that to a fault .
Was this translated from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ As surprising as it may sound , digital surveillance and speech control in the United States already show many similarities to what one finds in authoritarian states such as China .
Constitutional and cultural differences mean that the private sector , rather than the federal and state governments , currently takes the lead in these practices , which further values and address threats different from those in China .
But the trend toward greater surveillance and speech control here , and toward the growing involvement of government , is undeniable and likely inexorable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ past two decades about freedom versus control of the network , China was largely right and the United States was largely wrong It depends on what your metric for right is .
But why not put your money where your mouth is and call for a Communist dictatorship ?
Is expecting dot com platforms to run your dictatorship for you because you have contempt for most of the country really more efficient ?
Google , Facebook , and a handful of other companies effectively control speech in America .
This is a bad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Rights .
An outcome that the two law profs here view as a good thing .
What is different about speech regulation related to COVID-19 is the context : The problem is huge and the stakes are very high .
But when the crisis is gone , there is no unregulated “ normal ” to return to .
We live—and for several years , we have been living—in a world of serious and growing harms resulting from digital speech .
Governments will not stop worrying about these harms .
And private platforms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offensive content , and will use algorithms to regulate it ever more closely .
The general trend toward more speech control will not abate .

The war between Big Tech and the Bill of Rights is really heating up.
The latest shot was fired at The Atlantic, a publication funded by Steve Jobs’ widow through the Emerson Collective, (that’s spelled Apple if you aren’t familiar with the ins and outs of Silicon Valley dynasties), celebrating the Chinese solution to free speech.
Yesterday I wrote about Silicon Valley’s Control Virus.
China is more than the tech industry’s partner: it’s the future. The social credit system and surveillance society, the skyscrapers and robotics, the high-speed rail and the massive factories are more than just TED talks, they’re a grim chrome-plated reality. The censorship, surveillance, and propaganda deployed by Silicon Valley in response to the pandemic was a Chinese solution privatized in an American fashion. Gates, like other Silicon Valley technocrats, has to keep spreading the myth of Chinese expertise in battling the Wuhan Virus, not just because Microsoft needs the approval of the Communists, but because the Peeps are to tech industry technocrats what the Soviet Union with its collective farms and planned economy was to the New York and Chicago academics of nine decades ago. The future. The one thing that China’s Xi and Gates’ corporate culture in Redmond could agree on is that people are stupid and need to be told what to do. Most will never do what they’re supposed to unless they’re manipulated, prodded, and even bullied into doing what the masters of the universe think they should.
And The Atlantic’s piece embodies all of that to a fault.
Covid-19 has emboldened American tech platforms to emerge from their defensive crouch. Before the pandemic, they were targets of public outrage over life under their dominion. Today, the platforms are proudly collaborating with one another, and following government guidance, to censor harmful information related to the coronavirus.
Was this translated from the original Russian or the original German?
As surprising as it may sound, digital surveillance and speech control in the United States already show many similarities to what one finds in authoritarian states such as China. Constitutional and cultural differences mean that the private sector, rather than the federal and state governments, currently takes the lead in these practices, which further values and address threats different from those in China. But the trend toward greater surveillance and speech control here, and toward the growing involvement of government, is undeniable and likely inexorable. In the great debate of the past two decades about freedom versus control of the network, China was largely right and the United States was largely wrong
It depends on what your metric for right is. But why not put your money where your mouth is and call for a Communist dictatorship? Is expecting dot com platforms to run your dictatorship for you because you have contempt for most of the country really more efficient?
The result a decade later is that most of our online speech now occurs in closely monitored playpens where many tens of thousands of human censors review flagged content to ensure compliance with ever-lengthier and more detailed “community standards” (or some equivalent). More and more, this human monitoring and censorship is supported—or replaced—by sophisticated computer algorithms. The firms use these tools to define acceptable forms of speech and other content on their platforms, which in turn sets the effective boundaries for a great deal of speech in the U.S. public forum.
Admitting that is a good step.
Google, Facebook, and a handful of other companies effectively control speech in America. This is a bad development. It effectively shreds the Bill of Rights. An outcome that the two law profs here view as a good thing.
What is different about speech regulation related to COVID-19 is the context: The problem is huge and the stakes are very high. But when the crisis is gone, there is no unregulated “normal” to return to. We live—and for several years, we have been living—in a world of serious and growing harms resulting from digital speech. Governments will not stop worrying about these harms. And private platforms will continue to expand their definition of offensive content, and will use algorithms to regulate it ever more closely. The general trend toward more speech control will not abate.
Not as long as there are a handful of digital platforms that monopolize and define the internet, and who share the same basic politics and worldview.
That is what we need to change. If we don’t, the authors will be right, free speech, and for that matter, a conservative political movement, will be dead.
I’ve spent years writing and speaking about this. Recently there’s been some gathering momentum for action. Breaking up the big dot com monopolies is a vital free step. Or the monopolistic spiders of Google, Facebook, and Amazon will eat everyone in the web.
Here’s a little taste of the coming nightmare.
Behind the scenes, and unbeknownst to most Americans, data brokers have developed algorithmic scores for each one of us—scores that rate us on reliability, propensity to repay loans, and likelihood to commit a crime. Uber bans passengers with low ratings from drivers. Some bars and restaurants now run background checks on their patrons to see whether they’re likely to pay their tab or cause trouble. Facebook has patented a mechanism for determining a person’s creditworthiness by evaluating their social network. These and similar developments are the private functional equivalent of China’s social-credit ratings, which critics in the West so fervently decry…
The authors argue that we have a choice between the platform monopolies unilaterally dismantling the Bill of Rights or the government doing it for them.
The First and Fourth Amendments as currently interpreted, and the American aversion to excessive government-private-sector collaboration, have stood as barriers to greater government involvement. Americans’ understanding of these laws, and the cultural norms they spawned, will be tested as the social costs of a relatively open internet multiply. The harms from digital speech will also continue to grow, as will speech controls on these networks. And invariably, government involvement will grow. At the moment, the private sector is making most of the important decisions, though often under government pressure.
Which means that we have 3 choices
1. We can give up our free speech to Big Tech
2. We can give up our free speech to the government
3. We can break up Big Tech and limit the power of the government
Some social conservatives have been going to door no. 2. Attacking Section 230, while popular with some, has the potential to do that. Some social ‘conservatives’ envision a powerful government as their means of creating a better and more moral America. This is a dangerous rabbit hole that will lead exactly where all big government leads.
Fighting for control over a tyrannical system with the Left, only to make it more so in each iteration, will take us down to the dying days of the Roman Empire. That would be history repeating itself as farce.
Freedom will be either lost or won, forever within likely the 2020s. The determining battles will be fought on the internet.
The future is ours to lose.

Coronavirus : Amid New York’s unused hospital beds and ventilators, critics point to mass waste and mismanagement

While New York has weathered the brunt of coronavirus infections and deaths, the state’s apparent hoarding of medical supplies, and the millions spent on equipment that never arrived, as well as unused hospitals and beds, have some questioning what went wrong.
Early to mid-March projections of the spread of COVID-19 had the state scrambling to bolster its hospital bed capacity to more than double its 53,000 maximum status-quo.

CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWN: NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS LOSING PATIENCE WITH GOVERNORS’ RELUCTANCE TO GIVE FIRM DATES FOR REOPENING
In addition to a bevy of state orders, Gov. Andrew Cuomo made desperate overtures to the federal government to step in. In response, and in record time, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers scrambled to erect at least four field hospitals, and the Navy deployed its USNS Comfort hospital ship to Manhattan.

Currently, it looks to be more like 60,000 to 65,000 deaths. While any American life lost to this virus is a shame, the death and infection rate is looking not quite so bleak as it was in the beginning.”
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is in the process of shuttering the much-touted, 2,500-bed Javits Center – having treated only around 1,000 patients over the course of more than a month – The Associated Press reported.
On Thursday, the heralded Navy ship – which was equipped with 1,000 beds and intended to take the burden off other hospitals and treat non-coronavirus patients before finally taking on a handful of those with the infection – sailed away, barely used.
The three additional field hospitals Albany spent many millions on erecting in late March are yet to close, despite treating few, and are standing idle in case there is a second wave of the disease.
The process has led to frustration for hospital officials tasked with hurriedly boosting bed counts and equipping these new facilities, yet have watched as city hospitals endured overcrowding of coronavirus patients while their own ready-to-go medical centers have sat mostly empty, at the taxpayer’s expense.

The video of July’s that has been removed was of him analyzing the now censored doctors from California who disapproved of the lockdown measures.
“All I did was talk about the video, and they removed my stream talking about the video,” said July. “In all honesty, what I think this does, is it validates. Because it’s not like I said or even they [censored doctors] said anything that was abusive. Did it maybe go against what was deemed a mainstream narrative and the mainstream approach to handling this? Absolutely. That’s the whole point of the video.”
July says this validates a lot of what he’s said. “This has a lot of guys with egg on their face and it seems like people that are in positions of power, such as the Googles and the YouTube of the world, are really trying to control this narrative.”
Be aware that they are actively lying and controlling the narrative to enslave your mind. This is obvious, but some are still chugging that Koolaid like it’s water. There is a reason they want you to fear this virus, and it’s to accept their solution which is your complete and total enslavement.
This is one sign, however, that the establishment is getting desperate. There are just too many people who have seen beyond the facade. That’s a good thing for freedom, but we still need to help shake awake the rest of the sleeping masses.
Anyone who is advocating a free and voluntary society over a totalitarian tyrannical one is going to be silenced in the near future. They will attempt to control the narrative and public perception for as long as possible.

Orange County, CA — Over the past two months, non-violent inmates have been released from prisons across the country in an attempt to prevent massive outbreaks behind bars. Some law enforcement officials have raised concerns over releasing people in jail for marijuana possession, but they’ve largely been ignored thanks to common sense. However, law enforcement sources in New York and California are justified in their concerns as dangerous “high-risk” child rapists have been released.
The number of guards and inmates testing positive for COVID-19 continues to rise across the country — though deaths remain low. As we reported in March, it was only a matter of time before someone who is not exhibiting symptoms brings it into one of the many prisons across the country. As the multiple cruise ship outbreaks illustrate, once the virus enters a closed space, it explodes and not just on the cruise ship.
Across the country, jails have been moving to set prisoners free. In LA county, inmates with 30 days or less on their sentences were set free. Sheriff Alex Villanueva stated that the department will also limit arrests to only dangerous suspects, decreasing the re-entry level. Also, anyone with a bail of $50,000 or less is being let out.
In New York, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said low-level offenses that don’t jeopardize public safety will not be prosecuted at all during the coronavirus outbreak. Authorities are also moving to release certain demographics from the prisons as well.
In Greece, New York, however, officials announced in March that they will be releasing child rapists, raising concerns among many. And now, Orange County, California is doing the same.
On Tuesday, residents of Orange County were issued a warning by District Attorney Todd Spitzer, letting them know that seven registered sex offenders who he said were “high-risk” were recently released from custody.
KTLA reports, Spitzer said the convicted men spent “just days” in jail instead of the six months required by law for those registered as sex offenders. Illustrating the reckless nature of such a decision is the fact that all of these violent sex offenders had also been charged with cutting off their GPS monitors or tampering with their tracking devices.
The DA called the men “the most dangerous kind of criminal and the most likely to reoffend.”
“These are not the kind of people who should be getting a break,” he said.
“It is not the court’s responsibility to control the jail population by releasing these dangerous criminals back into our communities,” the DA said. “The residents of Orange County deserve to have the peace of mind that registered sex offenders are being held accountable and not just let out the front door of a jail by a court commissioner who refuses to follow the law.”
On top of the court knowing these men had convictions for tampering with their ankle monitors, all seven of these men have violent criminal records, and five of the seven have been arrested for criminal sex acts against children.
This is the exact same thing that unfolded in New York in March.
As TFTP reported in March, multiple sex offenders were released from the Monroe County Jail as part of a statewide order coming from The Department of Corrections and Community Services– or DOCCS.
Just like in Orange County, the release of the dangerous rapists perplexed even the chief of police.
“It doesn’t make any sense. If you could present an argument to me that makes sense, I’m willing to listen. But this doesn’t make any sense,” Patrick Phelan, the Greece Chief of Police, said.
The inmates were moved to the Holiday Inn Express after the DOCCS was ordered to release low-level technical parole violators. But as stated above, these are not ‘low level’ offenders.
As WROC points out, among the inmates known to be staying at the Holiday Inn Express are four registered sex offenders. Three of whom are registered as level 3 sex offenders and are deemed by New York courts as most likely to re-offend. All three of the level 3 sex offenders staying at the Holiday Inn Express have been convicted for the rape of minors.
“We weren’t told by anyone,” Phelan said. “I think good practice would be if you’re going to release convicted felons. Some of them very violent some of those level 3 sex offenders, You might want to give law enforcement the heads up.”
While TFTP originally applauded the release of low-level drug offenders and those who were rotting in cages for victimless crimes, the idea of releasing violent child rapists shocks the conscience. What’s more, we’d be willing to bet that there are still a lot of people in jail whose crimes have no victim, yet child rapists are being set free.
Adding insult to societal endangerment is the fact that as jails release high-risk child rapists, innocent business owners are being arrested for violating states’ orders to shut down. A friend of mine, Ryan Scott is being criminally charged for keeping his doors open to allow customers in his store. Over the past two weeks, Scott has been repeatedly harassed by police and it came to a head on Thursday when he noted that he’d been criminally charged.
I am now being charged criminally for having my store open. Posted by Ryan Scott on Thursday, April 30, 2020
Scott is not alone either. A salon owner is facing the possibility of being jailed for cutting the hair of willing customers. Two women in Texas were arrested for painting nails and trimming eye brows out of their homes — ‘hero’ cops even went undercover to catch them. Dog groomers, department store owners, and countless others have all faced the wrath of the police state and lost their freedom because government doesn’t want them attempting to support themselves.
In the meantime, they are told they can take out loans or attempt to survive on a one time $1,200 check that they may or may not receive — all the while dangerous child rapists go free. This is utterly asinine and nothing short of arbitrary tyranny.
If ever you feel that the state has your interests in mind when they provide their mandatory “protection” through this system of law enforcement, consider this scenario which completely negates that idea. When a system lets child rapists go free while locking someone in a cage for attempting to be self-sufficient — that system does not have your interests in mind.
