[BREAKING NEWS] Sergei Skripal Attack Update: EU Supports the UK
Tensions between the United Kingdom and European Union are high, ever since Britain voted to leave the pan-European bloc in the Brexit referendum of 2016. Despite this, major figures within the EU and politicians in France and Germany have come out in support of the UK, after a former Russian intelligence officer living in Salisbury was poisoned with a nerve agent by people working on behalf of Moscow. Angela Merkel, current Chancellor of Germany and a major pro-EU figure, issued a statement saying, “, it’s up to Russia to quickly provide answers to the British government’s justified questions and to heed the call to completely and immediately lay bare the relevant chemical weapons programme to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.”
The UK has set a deadline for 00:00, March 14th to explain their involvement in the attack.
US Senator McConnell says that Trump tariffs will remain in place
President Trump intends to put tariffs on all steel products entering the United States from outside of Mexico and Canada, in order to protect the jobs of thousands of workers across the country in the steel industry, who voted for Trump in the hope that their jobs would come back/stay in America. Mitch McConnell, establishment republican and Senate Majority Leader, has told reporters that the Senate will NOT stop the tariffs from being implemented. “The administration has all control. The thought that the president would sign a bill that would undo actions he’s taken strikes me as remote at best,” McConnell told reporters. “I think it’s highly unlikely we’d be dealing with that in a legislative way. That is not to say there is not a lot of concern in the Republican conference about this issue of tariffs.” This will come as a relief to the President, after many republicans have spoken against the implementation of such tariffs.
President Trump fires Rex Tillerson from the cabinet
President Trump made the decision today to fire Rex Tillerson from his current position as Secretary of State. This comes just weeks before the planned meeting between Trump and and Kim Jong-Un, to avoid conflict on the Korean peninsular. President Trump told reporters that he “respected” Tillerson and that he “got along well with Rex”. He also said, “I think Rex will be much happier now”. The White House intends to replace Tillerson, who has served as Secretary of State for the past year, with the current Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Mike Pompeo. The move has been both praised and criticised by commentators across the world.

The New Alexander Litvinenko
A former Russian intelligence officer turned MI6 informer, Sergei Skripal, was found on a bench in the English market town of Salisbury. He and his daughter are now critical condition in a local hospital. The nerve agent Novichock, produced in Russia, has been found to have been used in the attack. The police have advised all people in Salisbury who believe they have come in contact with the deadly nerve agent to wash the clothes they were wearing on the day of the attack (March 4th 2018). UK Prime Minister and Leader of the Conservative Party, Theresa May, has stated that it is ‘highly likely’ that President Putin and the Russian government were responsible for the attack. She has given the Russian government until 00:00 on March 14th to explain their actions. People have already drawn parallels between this case and the case of Alexander Litvinenko.
Britain First leaders & patriots, Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen imprisoned
In a Gestapo-esque move the UK police arrested the leader and deputy leader of patriotic political party, Britain First. The corrupt court system has now sentenced them to 18 (Golding) and 36 (Fransen) weeks respectively for so-called “religiously aggravated hate crime” after the pair shouted down a Muslim paedophile and pizza owner.
This gross infringement on free speech by the British Government has been supported by all major political parties in the UK. This was a purposeful attempt to stop the political activity of Britain First, in order to stop them telling the truth about Islam.
We will have further details as information from the story comes to light.
[Opinion] Pepe the Frog: Just Memes or Hate?
Pepe the Frog. The internet’s favourite animal meme. The Anti Defamation League (Internet Word Police) has said that the light hearted frog meme is a ‘white supremacist hate symbol’, and has included it in their database of hate symbols. To understand why the organisation would do such a thing we have to explore the history of Pepe.
Pepe the Frog started of in life as a character in the popular comic, Boy’s Club. The comic was published in blog posts on MySpace, in 2005. In 2006, the creator of the comic, Matt Furie (who is now suing Mike Cernovich and InfoWars.com for their use of the character) gave Pepe his catchphrase, “feels good man”.
After Boy’s Club gained in popularity on Internet forums, the charming green character was used by others in different blog posts, becoming an in-joke among members of such forums. In 2008, a Pepe the Frog image was uploaded to 4chan’s /b/board, for the first time. It quickly became a sensation on the site, and both Pepe’s appearance and catchphrase went through many a alterations and improvements.
It was only during the campaign before the 2016 US Presidential Election that Pepe had been used in a political context. The main sharers of pro-Trump were members of the ‘alt-right’ (when it had not been split between the alt-right and alt-lite). In October 2015, then-Presidential Candidate Trump retweeted an image showing a Pepe the Frog, likened to his appearance. In 2016, Rodger Stone and Donald Trump Jr. posted an image showing multiple conservative pundits, Donald Trump Sr. and Pepe the Frog. The image was parody poster of the film, The Expendables, which had been renamed, The Deplorables, borrowing language from Killary Clinton and her ‘Basket of Deplorables’ speech.
When the election was over and Donald Trump had been elected as the 45th President of the United States, the alt-right lost its air of mystery, and the media labelled it a white nationalist movement. The non-Racial Separatist members of the alt-right started to use the labels, ‘new right’ and ‘alt-lite’. Both the alt-right and the alt-lite continued to use Pepe the Frog as symbols of their movements.
When the ADL labelled Pepe as a hate symbol they ignored all of the non-Antisemitic uses of the symbol. It is moronic to call this a hate symbol. If other popular memes were sometimes used in racist contexts, would they be labelled hate symbols. Of course not. The ADL only labelled the fun meme a hate symbol as a way to get at President Trump and his followers, who use it on a regular basis.
So, triggered leftist snowflakes, PEPE THE FROG IS NOT A HATE SYMBOL.
