If you haven’t been keeping up on the news in the UK, you may want to take a look.

While we have stock market crashes, war between Iran and Israel, elections heating up, and Olympic boxing controversies, we may learn a couple of lessons from the chaos unfolding over in England.

 

What Happened in the UK?

A 17-year-old boy is being accused of stabbing three little girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport.

 

Axel Rudakubanais currently being charged with murdering three girls while being charged with 10 counts of attempted murder after stabbing others in the class.

 

Rumors swirled around the event, as people claimed a Muslim immigrant had stabbed the girls in a rampage. Rudakubana’s family is of Rwandan descent, however, it is believed that Rudakubana was not a first-generation migrant. They are also believed to be faithful church-going Christians. Of course, we must be skeptical of any and all information provided.

 

This event sparked massive protests which included burning vehicles and setting buildings on fire. As a response, roving groups of Muslims counter-protested as coalitions of communists, LGBTQ, and pro-Palestinian protesters also set themselves against pro-UK marches and protests.

 

Riots in the UK

While the media and government are quick to blame “disinformation” for the uprising in protests, various local sources have expressed what they believe is inspiring their fellow Brits: frustration at a two-tiered system that has seen countless events in which the natives are subjected to arrest and prosecution as immigrants avoid harsh punishments for horrible crimes.

 

At the same time, the energy and chaos of the boil-over have dangerous consequences. Videos of Muslims attacking white Englishmen, and the opposite have flooded X, along with videos from the riots and protests that have engulfed plenty of cities. Some groups of pro-UK men have torched hotels in which migrants have been housed, and city centers have been torn apart. Muslim patrols are now seeking out white men and beating them in the streets.

 

Meanwhile, news reports on the scene discuss the danger of “far-right” protesters as Muslim men can be seen in the background carrying machetes and weapons.

During some of these events, police took it upon themselves to politely ask Muslim men to carry their weapons to their Mosque, while 24-hour courts are being opened to try and convict “far-right” protesters.

 

Contrasts have been made between the reaction of Prime Minister Kier Starmer when the Black Lives Matter riots were happening a few years ago and the current riots of outrage over the death of the three little girls. During the BLM riots, Starmer made certain to voice solidarity with those mostly peaceful protesters. Now, Starmer vows swift and brutal justice against the “rioters” and their violent actions.

 

The language of the government officials throughout the course of the weekend has been nothing short of unified as they label all of the protesters as violent, far-right thugs and opportunists. When some officials have attempted to link the enraged emotions of the protesters to migration and a seemingly two-tiered system, they have been swiftly censored and deleted from social media. Not just this, but when calls have been made to hear the frustrations of the “native” population, calls are made to remove the license of the news organization and to make platforms responsible for promoting incitement.

 

Tommy Robinson, a pro-UK native boogeyman of the left, was wrongfully indicted by the media for his supposed role in the riots, even though Robinson was on vacation with his family outside of the country. The news, however, chose to report that Robinson had skipped town to avoid a court proceeding.

 

Home raids are now being done not just for those who physically participated in the raids but in search of people who are being accused of whipping up sentiments online. This can and has included people who have shared information or posted opinions on the events.

 

 

The Danger of Free Speech

In his address, PM Starmer stated regarding the mobility of the protesters, “And we must have a policing response that can do the same. Shared intelligence, wider deployment of facial recognition technology, and preventive action – criminal behaviour orders, to restrict their movements before they can even board a train. In just the same way we do with football hooligans. And let me also say to large social media companies and those who run them, violent disorder clearly whipped up online, that is also a crime. It’s happening on your premises and the law must be upheld everywhere. That is the single most important duty of Government. Service rests on security. And we will take all necessary action to keep our streets safe.”

 

Various news outlets have taken it upon themselves to write articles asking which horrible people online are behind the riots as they take Elon Musk to task for championing X as a free speech platform. The New York Times has even taken it upon themselves to ask what social media companies will do about riots being fomented online.

 

Of course, governments and news organizations(are they not an extension of one another?) have cried loudly and often about the dangers of disinformation and misinformation while spilling forth a confusing brew of lies and misdirection. Mind you, they cite each other as credible sources and proper opinions.

 

In one embarrassing example, Good Morning Britain’s Ed Ball interviewed his wife, MP Yvette Cooper about the riots and the dastardly far-right thugs. Using appeals to emotions and carefully curated content, they uplifted the innocent status of one group and the absolute banality of evil residing in the other group.

 

The media and government claim that social media must be stopped, yet at the same time peddle their own narratives without a second thought. All while many social media platforms work hand-in-hand with them to curate the “truth.” (For an outstanding source, look up Matt Taibi and his work on the Twitter files.)

 

They claim that they must be the gatekeepers of truth and that the populace is not trustworthy enough to understand or grasp hold of the truth floating past.

 

 

Fear of Free Speech

Entrenched and established powers fear the cognizance of the populace. As a populace becomes more and more frustrated with the agenda of the elites, the powers-that-be escalate their own fear and use it as motivation to then subject the populace to a two-pronged attack.

 

Scare the populace into submitting by telling them how dangerous they are to be caught with freedoms and enact programs to supposedly alleviate the fear and protect the populace from themselves.

 

In other words, “I’m scared of you. You’re a risk. Your neighbors are a risk. So, we’ll oppress you and then we can all be safe from you.”

 

Fear dictates so much in a social group and becomes a powerful tool to entrench agendas once thought to be merely conspiracy theories. Instability provides organizers the opportunity to sell frightened people the illusion of safety and stability. After all, offer a person comfort, safety, and stability in hard times and they will gladly do what you ask or submit to whatever requirements you’ve placed in front of them.

 

The UK itself has sat under the thumb of a techno-dictatorship for decades. The people of the UK have become largely complacent with cameras on every single inch of their homeland, raids for social media posts, advanced spying tech used on the populace, and draconian lockdown and mandate measures.

 

Unfortunately, we in the United States do not fare much better.

 

 

What Can We Learn from the UK Riots?

We in the United States most likely will not learn much. We are victims of our own success in a way. Those who know about the First Amendment and the protections it affords often believe that our First Amendment will always exist for our safety against tyranny. Little do we understand the efforts the government, media, and private companies make as they look to circumvent a citizen’s free speech.

 

Lest we forget, the government attempted a program under the Department of Homeland Security titled the Disinformation Governance Board. While officials assured Americans that it only had to do with foreign entities, a furor arose over the presence of people in the government attempting to parse out “disinformation” from “truth” in an official capacity.

We smelled the rat and looked to expel it. But the problem is, that thousands of rats are already crawling inside our walls.

 

Thankfully, a site such as X provides a powerful resource for ferreting out the truth about events such as the riots. The site may not be decentralized in the truest form, but access to information through millions of people is akin to decentralization. X still struggles with some censorship issues and is not perfect by any means, but the choke-hold algorithms put in place by sites like Facebook and YouTube do far worse damage.

 

The UK riots were a long time coming. For years, the populace has felt unheard when it comes to vast numbers of migrants. The people still hold frustration and hurt from the absolute debacle of the Rotherham grooming gang controversies and its apparent two-tiered justice system. The citizens’ frustrations have mounted as their major population centers are increasingly filled by migrants. Look no further than the UK’s own reports on the numbers being migrated into the UK.

 

While media outlets claim the citizens are overblowing the situation, even the IMF has published articles extolling the virtues (and reasons) for massive migration. They cite the falling birthrates of native populations and the economic importance of importing a new workforce.

 

Debates rage and narratives are constructed on both sides. The power of speech becomes more important as each side recognizes the need to influence people to their side. As the information war heats up, we can easily expect one side to stamp down more and more on freedom of speech, travel thought, and religion.

 

Those in power do not like that power threatened. Unfortunately, many of those in power only understand the language of power. As our education systems have been handed over to Marxist and progressive minds for the past 120 years, we cannot but expect that those who appreciate and uphold the established structure will defend its very existence.

 

The system becomes their god. It feeds them, protects them, provides for them, and guides them. After all, it keeps those nasty, brutish invading individualists out and punishes them for the audacious thought of threatening the levers of establishment power.

 

So do not expect the system to do you any favors. Do not expect the system to give you justice. Giving you justice will only show the system its own immorality and injustice. No man or structure, built up in pride, is willing to become introspective.

 

While we may hope and pine for the day the elites learn to back off, much like the founders hoped the crown would do before the Declaration of Independence, it will not happen without the populace unified and demanding adherence to the supposed social contract between a government and its people.

 

If you learn one thing America, it is that the injustice of power oppressing the people cannot rest. If individualists and conservatives must learn the language of power to speak to the entrenched elites, then so be it. It is all they speak. It is all they know. You may not do it willingly or with enthusiasm, but neither were our founders flippantly desirous of the consequences when speaking truth to power. Speak truth to power. Do not let your voices rest. And while of course, we all call for peaceful protest...protest we must.
