How to turn an anti muslim hate crime into antisemitism- leave out the detail that the synagogue was bought by a muslim community and is being turned into a mosque.

“Former synagogue” It’s now a mosque. Weird to omit that.

The Western colonial empire is dying in the very cities where it was born. London, New York, Paris, Berlin, Sydney. You can see it in rents, in food prices, in the price of a doctor's visit, in the closed factory at the end of every regional town. The headlines call it recession. But its actually the empire eating itself, because the outside has stopped feeding it. For 300 years the deal was to extract from the Global South, subsidize the Global North. Cheap cotton, cheap rubber, cheap oil, cheap tin, cheap cobalt, cheap labor, cheap everything. The Western worker was poor by global standards but rich by global standards at the same time, because the rest of the world was bleeding out so they didn't have to. That deal is over. Because the people doing the bleeding stopped agreeing. The Gulf states have quietly dropped petrodollar exclusivity. China and Russia settle in yuan and ruble. India buys Russian oil in rupees. Brazil and Argentina trade in local currency. The African Sahel kicked French troops out of 4 countries in 24 months. Niger nationalized its uranium. Burkina Faso is mining its own gold. Mali built a refinery for the first time in its national history. None of this was supposed to happen. It is happening anyway. I think most Western analysts cannot see this because they were trained to look upward at presidents and downward at GDP, and the actual movement is sideways across capital flows. Notice how the headline countries, the US, UK, France, keep losing wars they pretended to win. Afghanistan. Iraq. Libya. Syria. Niger. Ukraine. The military is still the loudest instrument in the toolkit. It is also the only one left that still works, not by serving its colonial states, but by fattening private sector profits. When a hegemon's only working tool is the gun, and the gun keeps missing, that is what decline looks like in real time. Now, the toolkit the West built to control the colonies is being repointed at its own population. Debt traps. Criminalization. Prison labor. Surveillance. Mass eviction. Drug-economy management. Engineered scarcity. Permanent renter classes. Two-tier policing. The same playbook that flattened Congo, Indonesia, Honduras and the Philippines is now being applied to Detroit, Marseille, Manchester, Newcastle. The boot is the same boot. This is the part that should make a working-class American or a British retiree or a single mother extremely angry, and unfortunately not at the people they're being told to be angry at. Migrants did not cause this. Welfare recipients did not cause this. China did not cause this. The class that owns the boot caused this, and it owns the boot in every country including yours. Some of you might call this overblown. You might say the West is still rich, still strong, still the world's reserve currency, still where the world's billionaires want to live. All true. For now. Empires take a long time to fall, and the rich exit the building decades before the lights go out. They have already exited. Watch where the wealth is parked. Not in the country it was extracted from. The capital has gone where the growth is, which is not London and not New York. It is Riyadh, Dubai, Mumbai, Jakarta, Shenzhen, Sao Paulo. The owner class moved their money. Then they will move their passports. The flag will be the last thing they put down. For the everyday person in the West, the next 20 years is going to be a managed contraction. Real wages flat or falling. Public services rationed. Pensions clipped. Insurance unaffordable. Housing impossible. They will tell you it is the migrants, then China, then the climate, then a new virus, then the algorithm. It will be none of those. For the everyday person in the Global South, the next 20 years is messier but freer. New patrons, new dependencies, but also new bargaining power. The petrodollar is no longer the only door. BRICS is no longer aspirational. The IMF is no longer the only lender. Africa is no longer waiting for permission. Latin America is choosing its own debtors. I do not think this is a happy story for everyone. Multipolarity is not peace. It is a different kind of pressure, distributed differently, with the violence rotating to new edges. But the colonial age that started in 1492 is closing. Not gracefully. Not neatly. Not with a flag-lowering ceremony. But forcefully. Because capital dictates. And it is dictating that the Western colonial empire is over.

@Seven_Oaks_ @mhdksafa Are you talking in ‘Netanyahu time’? Similar to being a few weeks away from a nuclear bomb for the past many decades…

@mhdksafa Iran is bluffing. They have the same weapons as ISIS. Their Navy is gone, the Air Force is gone. The military men are leaving now they aren’t getting paid. Irans Islamic state is in its final weeks or days.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States for the seventh time won the war that wasn’t a war, so the United States can open the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the not war. The not war that started to get the uranium that was completely obliterated, so that the Iranians can’t build the nuclear bomb that they weren’t building for the not war that the United States started. Then the United States which has nuclear weapons threatening to use nuclear weapons to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons because having nuclear weapons is dangerous. If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

@soycappie @ShawnRyan762 None of what you described happened. That’s a fact. Go read a little

I can't believe you're posting this! Yes, it's horrible what happened, but how is this incident any worse than the bloodbath Palestinians perpetrated on Israel on October 7? Children were bound with wire and BURNED ALIVE. A woman had one of her breasts cut off with a box cutter while she was alive and being gang raped. What about these people? Do they matter?

Cenk Uygur on the killing of six-year-old Hind Rajab in Gaza. “They hit the car that her family is traveling in, and everyone in the car is dead except a six-year-old. She calls in, and she’s begging, ‘Please send someone to help. Please. They’re all dead, and I’m so hungry and I’m so scared.’ The Israelis finally give permission for the ambulance to go get her, and then they bombed the ambulance and killed a six-year-old.” @cenkuygur @TheYoungTurks

@BidensPrevagen @ShawnRyan762 Yes wierd they didn’t talk about things which didn’t happen. Which by the way the world has acknowledged (including Israel) didn’t happen.

Weird how he doesn't talk about what happened to the Israeli girls on October 7. Like when Hamas took a baby from the mother and stuck it in the oven and raped her as she listened to her baby burn to death. Dude acts like Israel just decided to kill innocent people one day when it's actually the exact opposite that's true.

Dr Eastland Staveley who said he didn't kill enough Palestinian babies is back working for @DHUHealthCare @Leic_hospital He should be dismissed retweet if you agree

"When these appalling attacks happen to the Jewish community, we have the correct response. When it happens to other communities.. not the same urgency is applied" Natasha Devon with some facts.

@talkSPORT Don’t rule them out yet - we still have chelsea and villa to play….Slot is likely to beat Rodgers record

Liverpool have lost EIGHTEEN games this season, the most in a single season since under Brendan Rodgers in 2014/15... 😬❌

@Realaldo474 Slot has ripped the heart of out this team. The energy, the drive, the identity all gone. Nothing in its place at all…just all over the place. Sad to watch after it took so many years to get back to consistent success…slot seems to be driving them backwards at pace

I don't know where to start !!!im absolutely shattered after seeing these performances over the last 12 months since we won the league v spurs. This will be our 11 th defeat of the season in the league and over 12 months more.Some of the things i'm seeing astounds me.Weve no identity whatsoever.

15-year-old Shamima Begum is groomed and trafficked to Syria by ISIS, kills no one, has her British citizenship revoked. Dr. Eastland Staveley volunteers for the IDF, brags about killing Palestinian children, returns home, gets a job in the NHS. Spot the difference.

In the past 3 months, we’ve seen: - A Sikh woman RAPED because the rapist thought she was Muslim - A Muslim woman wearing a hijab being HIT BY A CAR - Multiple mosques being attacked with one being TORCHED So I ask again, when is the COBRA meeting for all of that? 😂

@doamuslims What an absolute disgrace. Glad this got captured

Labour MP Afzal Khan says: “there’s NO GENOCIDE” in Gaza

Why isn’t the the 3rd victim of the Golders Green stabber defined by his religion?

There has never been a more cynical sick manoeuvre than both the media AND the Police simply airbrushing the Muslim man STABBED the SAME DAY by the lunatic who stabbed two elderly Jews in Golders Green. That the @metpoliceuk should lend themselves to this is unforgivable. This is perversion of the course of justice.

Anyone screaming "antisemitism" has been played by a Zionist Establishment using the identity politics card for ulterior motives. They went to the extent of ERASING the Muslim third victim, including the METROPOLITAN POLICE! But will all these people who were fooled admit to it?

I see BBC have changed their story now. First they claimed 'two Jewish men' (left image) then, after they were called out on it, they changed it to 'three charges' (right image). No apology, obviously, for the initial lie, or explanation for why it happened.

Turns out the fire was equally close to a mosque, but somehow they forgot to mention it. I guess some buildings are more equal than others.

@Reuters You absolutely filth of an organisation. Lies and deceptive reframing. Reuters deserves to go down the pan

UK man appears in court over stabbing of two Jewish men in London reut.rs/4ujIJ6p reut.rs/4ujIJ6p

There won’t be acres of coverage or outrage over this, I can assure you.
