So, Donald Trump has finally crossed the line and gone full on Islamaphobic by re-tweeting, Screetchy Fransen.
Of course Britain First are loving the propaganda coup.
Others, quite rightly are not happy.
And heartbreakingly.
Talking of FAKE NEWS:
The POTUS, re-tweeting the deputy leader (of a non registered political party), a ‘woman’, along with Paul Golding is facing trial in the New Year for Inciting Racial Religious Hate.
On the 22/03/2017 London suffered its first, mass casualty, terror attack in 12 years. Like the majority of the world, we all sat, watching in horror as the events unfolded, worried for the victims, and grieved when the casualty figures came in.
For some though, the events were not tragic, they were an opportunity to further their own extremist agenda.
These are just some of the responses from the far right:
Britain First, within a few hours they had posted a Facebook event, a March Against Terrorism. No words of condolence for the victims, or their families, they just saw an opportunity to cause more problems in a city that will still be reeling from yesterdays events. More policing needed, at a time when the resources will be stretched already
And leader Paul Golding, quickly produced a propaganda video where he blamed everyone for the attacks, except himself and his groups culpability in creating a toxic atmosphere of ‘them and us’, an atmosphere that does more to recruit for Da’esh than Da’esh could ever manage.
We have intentionally not linked to the video, as Britain First have monetized their YouTube account.
Golding must have been devastated when he found out that Abu Izzadeen had been wrongly named and was still in prison.
Tommeh Robinson with his new BFF and videographer could not resist making it all about himself, and how he alone has been correct all these years.
He then just descended into rants, retweets and self promotion, yet, never once showed any empathy for the victims or their families.
LibertyGB just saw an opportunity to attack the London Mayor:
Nigel Farage:
He then used the event to appear on Fox News, promoting Trump’s travel ban:
And NO MENTION WHATSOEVER OF THE VICTIMS
The BNP, reproduced a picture doing the far right rounds of an obviously terrified woman in a hijab, walking past an horrific scene.
And yet somehow forgot to post a picture of a white guy doing exactly the same
Katy Hopkins was another who saw an opportunity to attack the London Mayor.
And another that used Fox News to further their agenda.
Sadly, we could go on and on here…David Duke posting pictures of the victims with their faces clearly visible, before the police had any chance to inform their relatives. Trump Jnr criticising the London Mayor (a recurring theme throughout social media).
The one thing they all have in common is a blatant disrespect for the victims and their families. To these people, and the random commentators on Facebook etc. the London attack was not a terrible tragedy, it was an opportunity. An opportunity to spread more division, more hate – to further their own extremist agendas. And of course, in many cases, to further line their own pockets
Thankfully, the community that has come under the most attack after the events reacted differently.
The far right-wing blog ‘The Right Stuff’ creator has quit over the revelation that his wife is Jewish it was reported in the Jerusalem Post.
‘Mike Enoch’, was doxxed (the leaking of personal details online) as a certain Mike Peinovich, a website developer from New York. Peinovich was also co-host on the infamous Neo-Nazi podcast “The Daily Shoah” on which he regularly talked about killing Jews, deporting Muslims, people of African descent and other Neo-Nazi rhetoric.
Enoch (name invented in homage to Enoch Powell), has long been considered one of the three most influential figures in the “alt-right” (fascist) movement along with Daily Stormer creator Andrew Anglin and Richard Spencer – he of the infamous Nazi salute celebration of Trumps election win.
Peinovich’s personal details were released were earlier in the week by rival website 8chan, briefly working alongside antifascist activists
‘Enoch’ admitted that the information released about him was correct in a message in left on a private forum on the website The Right Stuff (released by the Salon).
“As I am sure you all know, I was doxxed and an ill advised attempt to fool the media about my identity led me to not talk to you people and to try to simply ride it out by being silent. This was irresponsible and a disservice to all of you. Yes my wife is who they say she is, I won’t even bother denying it, I won’t bother making excuses. If this makes you want to leave the movement, or to have nothing to do with TRS, then I understand. Don’t lie for me. Don’t try to defend me to those attacking me. Don’t jeopardize your own reputation by defending things that you don’t think you can. I could try to explain my whole life for the last ten years to you but what difference at this point would it make. Life isn’t perfect.”
He later resigned in disgrace from both the podcast and The Right Stuff.
Britain First have had great success on social media, with their Facebook page having gained almost 1.5 million likes in the past few years. Founded by ex BNP chief fundraiser Jim Dowson in 2011, the group started as another of his get-rich-quick schemes. In 2012 they collected money on the streets under the guise of helping ex armed forces, in a true Del and Rodney style complete with folding table that got packed up in seconds if someone called the rozzers.
This video was recorded by an ex soldier who tracked them down.
In 2014 Britain First registered as an official political party, with Paul Golding as leader. Also in 2014 Golding along with his father and his deputy Jayda Fransen, opened a limited company – Britain First Merchandise Ltd. The company initially used Jim Dowson’s patriot store to sell their products, heavily promoting the link on their now popular Facebook page. These days the online shop is directly accessed from the official party website. Party accounts are registered annually with the Electoral Commission and are available to the public. On checking the available 2014 and 2015 accounts, we noted that there was no revenue declared from any commercial or miscellaneous activities. Obviously we were aware the party promoted and sold their merchandise, so we queried this omission of declared funds with the Electoral Commission. The response was sadly unhelpful. Britain First have confirmed to them the Ltd company and the political party are two separate entities and the proceeds from each activity are completely separate.
BUT THEY USE THE SAME WEBSITE! THEY PROMOTE THE GOODS THROUGH THEIR PARTY PAGE!! THEY EMAIL PARTY SUPPORTERS TO ASK THEM TO PURCHASE GOODS!!!
Imagine the same thing happening with the Conservatives or Labour. Surely this can’t be legal, we asked? The EC were once again unhelpful and suggested we contact the police ourselves if we believed fraud had been committed.
Of course, we then reported this to the police action fraud department, along with evidence of Mr Golding and Ms Fransen emailing supporters of the party for donations to fund their own criminal legal proceedings and fines. In what was beginning to feel like a ping pong match, after 5 minutes on hold whilst they took some advice, we were told it was a matter for the Electoral Commission.
We will continue in our quest to find some official department that can take action, and report any progress.
Newscorp international. The far reaching Murdoch Empire, owning vast swathes of the English speaking media.
Sky. 21st Century Fox. Telstra. The Sun. The Australian Telegraph. The Times. Sunday Times. Press Association. New York Times. Dow Jones & Company. Wall Street Journal. The Australian. HarperCollins.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of companies and publications owned by Rupert Murdoch, it purely illustrates the power he holds over the political and social narrative stretching over three continents. You don’t hear that much about Murdoch in the media because he IS the media.
I could talk about phone hacking, I could talk about “king making”, I could talk about controlling governments by controlling the electorate. All very worthwhile topics regarding Murdoch, but there is one particular subject I want to cover here today.
Murdoch’s heavy involvement in Genie Oil and Gas. A subsidiary of IDT energy, spun off in 2011. Afek Oil and Gas is an Israeli subsidiary of Genie. Rupert Murdoch holds shares in Genie, as well as sitting on their Strategic Advisory Board, alongside a stellar cast:
Michael Steinhardt (SAB Chairman) – Noted Wall Street investor and Principal Manager, Steinhardt Management LLC.
Richard Cheney – 46th Vice President of the United States.
Marry Landrieu – United States Senator from Louisiana from 1996 to 2014. Senator Landrieu served as chair of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. In her capacity as chair, she sponsored and passed the U.S.-Israel Energy Cooperation Bill.
Rupert Murdoch – Founder and Executive Chairman of News Corporation, one of the world’s largest diversified media companies. News Corporation’s holdings include significant media assets on six continents.
Bill Richardson – Governor of New Mexico from 2003 to 2011. Mr. Richardson served as Energy Secretary in the Clinton administration (1998-2001).
Jacob Rothschild, OM, GBE – Chairman of the J. Rothschild group of companies and of RIT Capital Partners plc. Chairman of Five Arrows Limited. Lord Rothschold is a noted philanthropist and Chairman of the Rothschild Foundation.
Dr. Lawrence Summers – Charles W. Eliot University Professor and President Emeritus at Harvard University. Dr. Summers served as the 71st Secretary of the Treasury under President Clinton and as Director of the National Economic Council for President Obama.
R. James Woolsey – Director of Central Intelligence from 1993 to 1995. Mr. Woolsey is co-founder of the United States Energy Security Council.
This board reads like a who’s who of Washington, and there’s a good reason for that. Genie Oil was a company set up for the purpose of extracting oil from Golan Heights.
The Golan Heights is a 700 square mile stretch of land on the Syrian / Israeli border. Formally recognised by the UN as Syrian land, the Israeli government seized Golan during the 6 day war of 1967. Israel began constructing settlements in the 1970s and extended Isreali law across the area in 1981. Isreal’s occupation is internationally recognised as illegal.
Back to Genie. Their subsidiary Afek was awarded exploratory drilling rights in Golan in February 2013 by the Israeli government. In October 2015 the company announced a significant find, with WorldOil reporting a 350m oil depth, which is up to 10 times the average oil field.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has even asked President Obama to formally recognise Golan as a part of Israel, citing the Syrian war as justification.
In November 2015, at the first meeting between Netanyahu and Obama in over a year, the Israeli leader allegedly said as Syria was no longer a fully functioning state, this allowed “for different thinking”.
An article from October 2015 in The Jewish Press stated:
Syrian rebels, the Islamic State (ISIS) and the Assad regime, and today that means Russia, now have another reason to capture the Golan Heights – oil.
If Genie manage to extract this oil it would leave Israel independent of its Arab neighbours for fuel for decades, as well as providing a friendly source for the USA. The political ramifications of oil in the Golan are complex and far reaching.
Murdoch is no stranger to using his media control to manipulate voters. He helped Thatcher in the 80s, Blair to power in 1997 and Bush in 2000. He uses his power to influence public opinion. His outlets were all in staunch support of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
The war in Syria has been incredibly complicated by the actions of other nation states each supporting their favoured factions. As can be seen from the Jewish Press article, the belief that Russia is supporting Assad for its own gains is a theory considered by Israeli media. From Murdoch’s point of view, continued instability in the region is necessary for business. Genie need Golan Heights to be internationally acknowledged as part of Israel prior to extracting billions of barrels of oil from it. A master of manipulation, a well publicised control freak, and quite likely a narcissist; is Murdoch once again using his control of public opinion and of government heads to suit his own agenda?
Like many groups and individuals whose (bizarre?) hobby is monitoring far right pages on social media we spotted a new kid on the block in 2014 – the Knights Templar International. The Facebook page was a strange mix of ads for clothing (from the Patriot Store, more on that later), Islamophobia, ads to join the order and click bait. From the outset we were suspicious of the page and suspected the involvement of James Dowson, ex Orangeman, BNP and Britain First. The hallmarks of Dowson’s involvement were all over the KTI page. The usual click bait posts, ‘Share if you are against animal cruelty’, ‘Share if you respect our armed forces’ and post after post espousing a pro-life agenda.
And of course the cross posting between KTI and the Britain First Facebook page.
And the infamous email from Britain First leader Paul Golding asking people (in sensitive careers who cannot openly support the party, make of that what you will) to join KTI.
Dowson having claimed before this that he had quit Britain First in disgust at their Mosque invasions (which consisted of Golding and his Blackshirts forcing their way into a Mosque during the quietest period and then harassing elderly Imams). And yet here he is at the Britain First Conference in 2015 (billed as a ‘guest’ speaker and not the power behind the throne that he really is). Jim was also at a Britain First march in 2015, whizzing around in his merchandise van (which says everything about the man).
Also pictured (right) is one Imre Teglasy (more on him later).
.
Not anything to do with Britain First though:
.
But actual proof of Dowson involvement remained elusive until we discovered a video from a Russian television report where Dowson admitted to being KTI.
Hi Jim!
The video was made during the International Conservative Forum held in St Petersburg, Russia (for conservative insert ‘Far Right’ the participants). Also at the forum was a certain Nick Griffin, Jim Dowson’s old boss at the BNP (more on that later).
KTI covered this ‘Mission’ to Russia extensively…then strangely deleted all the posts…
The officials that KTI had there being Dowson and Griffin, Griffin of course attending in his role as Vice President of the Alliance for Peace and Freedom.
Jim’s full speech there can be viewed here. Worth noting is how he keeps describing Britain First as his party, boasting about its social media reach etc. even though he was supposed to have quit in disgust at the Mosque Invasions.
KTI Novus Ordo Militiae Limited, the business.
So we had proof that KTI was Dowson, but was there anything else to link him to KTI?
Who also just happens to be the director of the Patriot Society (inc: the Patriot Store, LionheatGB).
The Patriot Store… original domain registered by James Dowson using his (defunct) UK Life League ‘charity’…
But of course KTI are nothing to with LionheartGB or the Patriot Store…
.
Recent marketing email from LionheartGB, note both Patriot Store mentioned and the sender address:
Jimbo still nothing to do with the Patriot Store/LionheartGB though, even though he has the same solicitor who sends out the same quasi legal threatening letters if you have the temerity to go up against him.
These coincidences keep mounting up, still waiting for our letters Jim.
And not forgeting his old mate and English Democrat party leader Robin Tillbrook:
Now why would KTI be bothered about a group opposed to Britain First? (redacted name not EBF). Tillbrooks being Britain First’s solicitor by the way…
Worth noting here is the recent Advertising Standards Authority ruling against KTI, where, basically, they lied about a Christian Family under threat from ISIS in order to solicit donations (another ASA ruling against the con men at KTI and another here).
Edit: link redacted as KTI, trying to cover their tracks have deleted all mention from their website, although it can still be found with cached versions and in their ‘Crusader’ magazine.
Edit:
Jim Dowson now selling KTI memberships and tat via a new compnay registered in his own name (guess he has given up trying to hide since he has been widely outed).
Same old crap.
Items sold in US Dollars, KTI also have a new KTI America Facebook page.
KTI and Nick Griffin.
You would think that after the acrimonious departure of Dowson from the BNP (and BNP members fraud allegations against Dowson) that Nick Griffin would have washed his hands of Jim. But…
We already know that Griffin was at the fascist shin-dig in Russia at the same time as Dowson. But is there any evidence to link Griffin to KTI?
We first became suspicious of Griffin’s involvement with KTI when we noticed the similarities to KTI’s ‘Syria Mission’ posts and posts made on Nick Griffin’s Twitter account.
But all of this could have been a coincidence, the same as Nick Griffin being pictured by KTI during their ‘Mission’ to the Hungarian border.
Also at the KTI Hungarian Border Mission was a mysterious pixellated figure, one of their Templars (pic taken from KTI website, since removed)
.
A quick reverse-image search revealed just who the mysterious Templar Knight was…
.
Hi Jim!
Purely by coincidence (obviously Jim has quit BF honest guv), Britain First were in Hungary at the same time.
But still no real proof that Griffin is KTI, even the usual cross posting could have been another coincidence…
And another weird coincidence…
Nice White Power symbol there Griffy
It looked like it would remain supposition that Griffin was KTI…until Griffin posted a picture of the KTI WordPress dashboard with himself logged in as Peter Mellows (blog writer on KTI website) on his British Unity Facebook page (post removed a few days later).
.
Yeah, we’re still laughing at that.
Peter Mellows, aka Nick Griffin KTI ‘Author’
Edit: Since this blog was released Peter Mellows has mysteriously disappeared, the cat is out of the bag Jimbo/Griffy…
Oh dear a KTI admin being banned for a post at the same time as Nick Griffin, note, Griffin also logged into This is England WordPress dashboard (another Dowson page).
Additional, 08/10/2016 Nick Griffin admits he is KTI on his VK account
Also with Teglasy is one Edda Budaházy, who was at the Hungarian pro life conference with Griffin and Dowson (she is also linked to the Hungarian Outlaws, more on that later)…
.
Edda Budaházy is the sister of Gyorgy Budaházy, currently on trial in Budapest for numerous acts of violence with Molotov cocktails. Budaházy has been imprisoned for various militant offenses since 2009.
.
Which is fair enough, you cannot choose your family. Yet KTI are championing Budaházy.
Worse Han Solo cosplay ever!
So via Griffin, KTI are linked to the Alliance of Peace and Freedom group, being investigated by the EU Parliament (for being fascists basically). Linked via Edda and Teglasy to Gyorgy Budaházy a far right extremist who they are championing as a one of their Templars). Are there any other links to extremist groups (other than Britain First)? Edit: Gyorgy Budaházy was found guilty and given a 13 year custodial sentence.
They also provide the security for Teglasy/KTI at their Pro Life Demos.
And who do we see pictured here with the Outlaws during a KTI pro-life ‘Mission?
Hi Jim!
Most recently Dowson has hooked up with another Hungarian neo-Nazi group, one that has already been banned once by the Hungarian Gov’t. Magyar Önvédelmi Mozgalom.
Interesting again how Dowson is once again outed as KTI.
And playing Rambo hunting refugees crossing the border.
And another far right link, and another claim by KTI that it was their representatives (again Griffin). This time Shipka Bulgarian National Movement (webpage).
These self styled paramilitaries have hit the headlines recently for their dubiously legal border patrols (a bunch of mainly skinhead men running around the forests of Bulgaria hunting refugees down video). Here we see ol’Griffy donning his camo gear before going out on patrol!
They love their guns too (Dowson has proven links already with an Ulster Unionist weapon smuggler).
And here are Dowson and Griffin dropping some KTI supplies off to the same paramilitary group 25/09/2016
Jimbo even has a starring role in this video, but he is not KTI honest.
Worse Action Man EVER!
Image from latest KTI email (Dowson has a conviction for firearm offence)
Not sure what they actually do, as yet. Far right politically it seems and reviving the Order of the Dragon for Serbian nationalist reasons (bit like the “Templars”).
Should we be worried about the Knights Templar International and their links to extremists? Is KTI just another fake Templar group whose mission is to make money (via subscriptions and the selling of merchandise through the Patriot Store)? Or do they have a longer term political endgame in mind? We at IRBF will keep watching, and reporting.
Edit: KTI’s video would certainly suggest that they wish to set up underground paramilitary groups (most likely along the lines of Ulster Unionist with which Jim Dowson already has links). Although This is quite an old video, anyone with a knowledge of history will notice the word “Euskal”, It’s a propaganda video promoting the Basques separatists, ETA. But worth noting is the VII VII VII that keeps appearing on the video, 777 being a pan-European paramilitary group.
Could just be another marketing ploy though…
addendum: On the 26/05/2016 KTI on Facebook, for the first time, confirmed links to Jim Dowson (Video Here).
No immigrants, unless you’re white obviously, eh Jimbo?
.
And of course Britain First just happen to be in Hungary as well now, with a new company.
Many people will have seen how KTI keep posting pictures of mercenaries fighting in Syria and claiming that they are Templars, in fact they are not (surprise, surprise).
Happens to be Timothy Scott, he of the car crash Pegida interview fame (video). And they are not happy KTI have stolen their image for personal gain.
A quick note, if you were wondering who the guy standing next to Jim Dowson was in one of the links (Pro Life).
It is Glen Robertson, KTI Grand Commander… according to their scrolls.
He usually just hangs around taking the photos…. (Edit, new Grand Commander a certain Sir McBride, another exBNP loon).
Wilson being Dowson’s computer guy from the same town in NI.
It was our pleasure to work with the Daily Mirror on this article:
In response to a NYT article on how KTI and Dowson used social media to try and influence the US election.
Nick Griffin responded on his Facebook page by confirming that he and Dowson are indeed KTI once again. And that they are the owners of the fake news sites mentioned.
Channel 4 News (ITN) have produced a report on how KTI manipulate with fake news.
Additional:
James Dowson has now been kicked out of Hungary.
“James Dowson (pictured), a British citizen and far-right figure residing in Hungary, has been banned from the country, Hungarian newspaper Magyar Narancs reported Wednesday.
The Hungarian Interior Ministry issued a statement explaining that Dowson has been deemedpersona non grata upon the suggestion of TEK, Hungary’s anti-terror organization. Magyar Narancs reported that had it received information earlier saying Dowson was considered a threat to Hungarian national security.” Full article from the Budapest Beacon here:
Additional additonal:
“Budapest (AFP) – Hungary has declared British far-right figure Nick Griffin a “persona non grata” and barred him from the country, the interior ministry said Friday.
The announcement came two days after Budapest expelled James Dowson, another prominent British far-right activist with links to Griffin.” Full article here:
Déjà vu all over again…
Here we go again. Jimbo has, like the turd that just won’t flush, bobbed back to the surface. This time in Serbia. And once again he is equiping far right groups with drones. As we noted earlier in the blog, this time it is with the Order of the Dragon.
“The activities of nationalist and far-right groups in this volatile region, particularly as a probe by BIRN has revealed a constellation of loosely linked groups which claims that they are attempting to equip and prepare Kosovo Serbs with drones, communication equipment and links to powerful Russians in order to resist an attack. Weapons have, however, not been referenced.
These groups believe that an offensive by Kosovo Albanians on the area’s ethnic Serb enclaves is looming, although no evidence exists that any such operation is planned.
This wide network of far-right groups and activists gravitates around the Belgrade-based Order of the Dragon, named after 15th Century Christian knights who fought the Ottoman Empire, and which in the past has made regular deliveries to Kosovo Serb families of warm clothes, food and other household goods.
Those linked to it include Jim Dowson, a prominent British right-winger who describes himself as a Christian activist and who was banned from Hungary earlier this year.
Through a new group called the Knights Templar International that describes Dowson as its spokesman, he also calls for the delivery of equipment such as tactical vests and drones to Serb groups in northern Kosovo.”
‘Jim Dowson again in Belgrade! And he trains Serbian nationalists Jim Dowson was the guest of Belgrade at the invitation of the President of the Serbian right, Miša Vacić. Dovson, extremely influential among nationalists throughout Europe, is a leading expert in political marketing.
He was also hired by US President Donald Tramp for his campaign for presidential elections. Which of course resulted in Tramp’s victory.
One of the reasons for Dowson’s arrival to Belgrade is a series of training workshops in the field of political marketing, especially intended for members of the Serbian Right.
During the lecture, Jim Dowson conveyed his small secrets to the great master, stressing that he was very pleased to cooperate with the future leading (and only) national option in Serbia.’ Here:
We will post a link to this when it gets aired, as an aside, if we’re being funded by Soros he has not as yet coughed up. (link added, excellent piece by Radio Four)
Jimbo on the Victoria Derbyshire Show 01/05/2018 – denying he is raking the money in from his fake news sites lol
Obviously another James Dowson who just happens to live at the same address as Jimbo.
A few more pics of Jimbo with his Serbian Fascist friends. Their ‘training’ video is hilarious.
Every now and then an individual appears so vile they deserve their own entry into our fascist hall of fame. Meet far right troll Dale aka MC Destin-E.
No, Dale, you are not racist because you are white, you are racist because of your ideas and language.
MC Destin-E, works the club scene in the Barnsley area, at least he did, not sure what the clubs will think after they recieve the screenshots.
And Britain First, as usual, jumped at the chance to plagiarise the article for its own hate fueled agenda. The post soon appeared on their Facebook page. And the comments began.
Britain First using the death of a beautiful young woman, with a tragic history and even more tragic death.
We all know that many of the far right leave all social mores behind when they log onto social media. But occasionally a commenter will spew such hateful bile that their shame should be recorded.
Take this post from Britain First on Facebook:
The usual incitement to hate from BF... and they certainly got what the wanted:
Let's not beat around the bush here, Charlie Swift is lauding the genocide committed by the Third Reich.
I suppose we will never know if Charlie actually believes what he commented - but how many people would be willing to fire up the ovens and set the cattle trucks moving again?
