PayPal v. Free Speech Union + Muslim-Hindu Sectarianism in Britain + Britain’s Obesity Crisis
PayPal shuts down Free Speech Union, Gays Against Groomers accounts
By Eric Utter
PayPal this week shut down multiple accounts associated with groups critical of the transgender movement, including the U.K.-based Free Speech Union, and the nonprofit Gays Against Groomers.
Is “transgender” another word for “fascist?” It sure seems like it lately, doesn’t it?
It’s relatively safe to attack free speech these days, but canceling gays, too?! The “T” in LGBTQ is going after the “G.” And, apparently, will attempt to destroy anyone who gets in its way.
Gays Against Groomers recently put out a Twitter statement reading: “We have just been BANNED from @Venmo and @PayPal (within minutes of each other) for ‘violating’ their user agreements. The group added, “We are an organization that consists entirely of gay people whose only mission is to safeguard children from abuse,” and shared screenshots of emails from the payment processing companies.
The same day, the Telegraph reported that PayPal recently shut down the accounts of Free Speech Union, its founder Toby Young, and his opinion and news website the Daily Sceptic…all without a clear explanation. (Free Speech Union is a nonpartisan organization that opposes cancel culture and has defended academics — and others — who have dared to criticize transgenderism, some of whom were actually fired for the crime of expressing their opinions.)
What’s next? Will the power company shut off our electricity if it discovers we believe there are only two sexes, men and women? Will our bank accounts be frozen if the financial institution finds out we once cracked a joke about “Rachel Levine?” Will we be forcefully escorted to a re-education camp if we make it known we don’t want our young daughters changing in a locker room next to a “trans woman” swimmer who still has his original equipment?
The tyranny of the “woke” is getting entirely out of hand. When a tiny fraction of the population runs roughshod over the majority, you know two things: 1) the small minority is aggressive and unrelenting. 2) The majority is primarily composed of spineless, amoral beings who have been successfully indoctrinated into believing that tolerance of everything is preferrable to intolerance of anything.
Shock: EU commission president threatens Italy on eve of election, says Brussels has ‘tools’ if wrong parties win
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is being accused of election interference after threatening to use “tools” if the wrong election result is achieved in Italy’s national elections, set to take place this Sunday, Sept. 25. She added that those same tools are already being used against Hungary and Poland.
“We will see the result of the vote in Italy,” said von der Leyen. “If things go in a difficult direction — and I’ve spoken about Hungary and Poland — we have the tools.” Von der Leyen made the comment after a journalist at Princeton University in the United States said that there were candidates in the Italian elections “close to Putin” and asked her how the EU would react if they were elected.
The comments from the EU commission president, arguably the most powerful figure in all of EU institutions, have been met with shock from the Italian political class.
Von Der Leyen was making a clear reference to the European Commission’s ability to cut funding to member states it views as violating “rule of law,” a powerful tool Brussels can use to punish any democratically-elected government in Europe. Just last week, the commission proposed cutting €7.5 billion in funding to Hungary, with the country’s conservative government having long been a thorn in the side of the EU over its opposition to mass migration and support for traditional values.
Meloni’s positions, in many ways, are no different than Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s.
“There is no possible mediation. Yes to the natural family. No to the LGBT lobbies. No to the violence of Islam, yes to safer borders, no to mass immigration, yes to work for our people, and no to major international finance,” said Meloni at a campaign event.
Meloni’s political beliefs means the EU may respond with extreme sanctions against Italy if her party comes to power. However, unlike Hungary, where the population is overwhelmingly in favor of staying in the EU, Italy is already becoming increasingly skeptical of Brussels, according to polling. If the EU were to cut funding to Italy, this may raise tensions in an already divided Europe and potentially spark a backlash among the Italian public.
Italian politicians are already responding to von der Leyen’s threat.
“What is this, a threat? This is shameful arrogance,” tweeted Matteo Salvini, the leader of Italy’s far-right League party. He asked von der Leyen to “respect the free, democratic and sovereign vote of the Italian people.”
He also said on Italian TV that “if anyone in Brussels thinks of cutting the funds that belong to Italy, because the League wins the elections, then we have to rethink this Europe,” adding that “this is institutional bullying.”
Elections are on Sunday, Sept. 25, and polls show a conservative-populist coalition is likely to come to power, with Brothers of Italy party leader, Giorgia Meloni, set to become Italy’s first female prime minister.
With the EU’s left-liberal establishment going into panic mode at the prospect, von der Leyen’s remarks are the most visible and threatening remarks from a major EU politician since campaign season began in Italy. The fact that she issued her remarks just days before the “quiet” period of Italian elections may also potentially affect the outcome.
While Austrians starve and freeze: 2361€ net (!) social benefit for Syrian family of asylum seekers
Who is still supposed to understand this? While many Austrians no longer know how to pay for food and heating in the coming winter, the City of Vienna pays asylum seekers a monthly luxury salary. This is how a family of four from Syria ends up with social assistance of 2361 euros.
On Twitter, a landlord tells a story that many other users have also experienced. All asylum seekers can easily afford his flat and bring salary confirmations of unbelievable amounts, he reports. The case of a family from Syria serves as an example. The father does not speak German and has his main residence in Dubai. Nevertheless, he collects 2361 euros a month in minimum security and other benefits in Vienna with his wife and two children.
The salary confirmation comes from Interface Wien GmbH. This is owned by the City of Vienna and promotes the overall social integration of children, young people and adults with a migration background. Six supervisory board members sit on Interface Wien GmbH.

Germany: Experts assume 200 Islamists in Thuringia
Are there 200 Islamists in Thuringia? The chairman of the Parliamentary Control Commission, Raymond Walk (60, Christian Democratic Union), presented the two-year report on Thursday.
Up to 200 Islamists, 135 of them Salafists, could be in the state. “The threat from Islamist terrorism continues to be assessed as high,” Walk said. However, there are hardly any established structures, rather loose networks or individual perpetrators.
As Walk says, “The eleven established mosque associations in Thuringia no longer play a major role. Instead, much of the activity is increasingly taking place in private and in secret.
Islamist tries to peddle debunked conspiracy theory of ‘busloads of Hindu workers went to Leicester’ to blame Hindus for attack on Hindus
Amidst the ongoing violence in Leicester in England’s East Midlands region, Islamist scholar Ali Dawah tried to mainstream the conspiracy theory that RSS workers came in droves to stoke communal tensions in the area.
In a video published on his YouTube channel on Friday (September 23), Ali caught up with Yatin Bhimani, owner of a Coach company, to seek clarification about a conspiracy theory that his co-religionist has been peddling for the past 5 days.
Yatin, who hails from India, owns a fleet of 4 buses and runs a travel agency by the name of ‘Angel Tours.’ Islamists had accused the agency of ferrying RSS workers to Muslim areas in Leicester and creating a law and order situation with the help of a Hindu temple in Ealing. Islamists had been using videos of one of the buses of the company near a Hindu temple and a photograph of a group of people holding a BJP in front of a bus of the company to claim that Bhimani is linked with Hindu groups.
Yatin Bhimani refuted all the allegations and explained the visuals saying that they hare not linked with the Leicester violence. The humble Hindu man informed Ali at the very onset that his buses have not been operating in Leicester for the past 2 months. He pointed out that the Ealing Road temple, where his bus was stationed, is being used as a pickup point by his travel agency since 2009.
Bhimani said that he has no link with the Hindu temple on Ealing Road in London, but his buses are parked near the temple to pick up and drop off passengers as it is a well-known place and there is enough place to park a bus. Morever, on 17th September the bus stopped there for a longer duration as there were some faults with the coach, and a mechanic was called to rectify the issue. The Guardian journalist Aina Khan has also confirmed the claim and posted GPS log of the bus showing that it didn’t go to Leicester on that day.
He dismissed conspiracy theories of transporting rioters and anti-social elements, both directly and indirectly. On being asked about the picture of his bus with men holding a BJP flag, Yatin said, “It was the time of Covid-19. Our industry had suffered a lot. A group of men wanted to go to Glasgow and welcome PM Modi for G-20 summit. I took them on the trip.” He informed that the photo is from last year, when a group of people had booked the bus to go to Glasgow to see PM Narendra Modi addressing the UN Climate Change Conference.
The travel agency owner also informed that people got hold of the picture from his Facebook profile, where he had written how his ‘Angel Tours’ facilitated the journey of Indians for an event attended by PM Modi. As the photo was taken from his Facebook account, the Islamists knew that the photo is old, but still used it to peddle propaganda against Hindus.
Ali Dawah shrewdly used the interview to rant about the ‘greatness’ of his Faith and how it supposedly emphasises the principle of justice. He also claimed that Muslims were provoked by Hindutva goons and how a mosque was burnt down, despite the fact that the Leicester police had debunked the fake news.
Ali used his dominating personality to make sweeping statements like the supposed involvement of PM Modi in anti-Muslim violence in India. He also tried to put words in the mouth of Yatin and forced him to condemn Modi and RSS.
“If anyone commits violence against Muslims, Christians or Hindus, then, I condemn them,” Yatin said. While the Islamist was able to convince his naive followers that he believed in inter-faith dialogue, Ali Dawah’s attempt at setting agenda in favour of Islamists did not miss the experienced eye.
The origins of the conspiracy theory
On September 18, a Twitter user named aart123 posted a 1-minute long video, alleging that a bus belonging to Angel Tours have been ferrying ‘masked Hindutva thugs’ to Leicester. It also claimed that the supposed mobilisation of Hindus was being done at the behest of a Hindu temple.
Soon after, Islamists dug out a year-old picture which showed a group of BJP supporters, standing in front of an Angel Tours’ bus’. “This is the coach in Leicester Angel Tours belonging to Ealing Temple London and the group openly supports BJP,” wrote one Ash.
The left-wing propaganda news outlet, The Wire, further amplified the disinformation with the aid of a Uk-based author named Amrit Wilson.
Quoting Wilson, The Wire journalist Sumedha Pal tweeted, “Coach Loads of RSS supporters went to Leicester to provoke conflict which can then be used in India to further Islamophobia & strengthening the narrative of Hindu victimisation.”
Aide of Ali Dawah incites Muslims to attack Hindus
Earlier on September 19, Islamist scholar, Mohammed Hijab, was seen mocking Hinduism and inciting Muslims to attack the adherents of the Dharmic faith. Hijab is an aide and long-term associate of Ali Dawah.
“When I was on social media, I saw these people (Hindus) getting brave. How come today it is like pin drop silence?” the British Egyptian scholar was heard as saying in a viral video. He claimed that no Hindus were in sight after realising that Muslim mobs were coming at them in hordes.
“Cause they (Hindus) fear us when they are near us”, responded an Islamist from the crowd. Pumped by the support of the like-minded people in the crowd, Hijab said, “Deep down, they know we got the truth. If you want respect, then, learn to respect.”
“If they (Hindus) believe in reincarnation, what a humiliation of them to be reincarnated into some pathetic, weak, cowardly people like that,” the Islamist went on an anti-Hindu tirade.
“Hindutva (Hindus), you are trying to act like gangsters…Don’t ever come out like that again (referring to the protests by Hindus in Leicester). Do you understand? Are they going to come out again?” he continued his threats.
Amidst the war cry of Allah hu Akbar, Mohammed Hijab cautioned that he and his supporters would be there if Hindus dared to protest against the violence, committed by his co-religionists.
After instigating Islamist violence against Hindus in Leicester, Mohammed Hijab plays victim, blames Hindus instead
Islamist scholar Mohammed Hijab, who was seen inciting Muslims against Hindus in Leicester in UK, now have come forward to blame Hindus and Hindutva for the violence where Hindus were attacked by Islamists and Hindu temples were vandalised. After role of Md Hijab in the violence was questioned, he released a press release today, where he attributed the Leicester violence to the alleged rise in radicalised right-wing extremism among Hindus in the UK.
He said that “there is growing evidence that sections of the British public have been radicalised by the extremist movement known as Hindutva. Hindutva is a form of fascist, right-wing extremism that advocates for the hegemony of Hindus and Hinduism.”
He further added, “This leads to the othering and dehumanising of non-Hindus, which inevitably results in violence. This is exactly what has been happening in India today and this extremist ideology has arrived in our country.”
Blaming Hindus for the violence where Hindus were attacked by Islamists after Indians celebrated the victory of India against Pakistan in a cricket match during Asia Cup 2022, Hijab wrote, “some sections of the Hindu community in the UK, in particular Leicester, have adopted this extremist ideology and it has been responsible for community conflict and aggression against non-Hindus, in particular vulnerable Muslim women.”
All the claims of involvement of Hindutva extremists have been debunked already, but still, the Islamists continue to peddle the allegation. Charlotte Littlewood, Former Counter Extremism Coordinator for UK govt, earlier today said that she was duped by people who claimed RSS hand behind the violence.
“Todays search for RSS terrorists in Leicester sent me on a mad goose chase in which I conclude they are not terrorists. And they are not in Leicester. Bravo Islamists that sent us all on a witch hunt whilst they stand behind us in balaclavas with knives,” she tweeted.
Charlotte Littlewood said on Times Now that there is not a shred of evidence that there was a Hindu nationalist extremist march in Leicester, in response to which Islamists had come out to defend themselves, as being claimed by the Islamists. She said that there is evidence that there was an Islamist-inspired march against Hindus in Leicester, in response to which the Hindus had come out in a peaceful march in collaboration with police.
She confirmed that the houses and vehicles of Hindus were attacked and that she has evidence like photographs and videos of the same. Charlotte Littlewood also said that some Hindus have left Leicester and have not come back after Islamists had claimed on social media that they are RSS members. She also said that when police interrogated some suspected RSS extremist members, they said don’t even know what RSS is.
She informed that houses and vehicles of Hindus were identified with the presence of Hindu religious symbols like photos of Ganesh. Charlotte Littlewood further said that there is no evidence of presence of any extremist group of RSS in the UK.
She also cited screenshots of messages circulated in Islamist groups where they were seen planning and organising attacks on Hindus and saying that they will drive out Hindus from Leicester the way Hindus were expelled from Kashmir.
Littlewood further informed that UK Police have debunked various claims made by Islamists against Hindus, like the claim that a mosque was attacked and a Muslim girl was abducted by Hindus, and the police have appealed to people to stop spreading misinformation.
Today Charlotte Littlewood posted an update on the situation in Leicester, where she said that Hindus in the city have self-imposed a curfew on themselves in fear of attack by Islamists. She wrote, “As the rest of the UK media continues to hunt for Britain’s Hindu terrorists the Hindu community of Leicester have closed their businesses, closed their temple and will have a self-imposed curfew. They feel it is not ok to be Hindu here.”
In support of the claim that the violence was the work of RSS, Islamists had used visuals of the buses of an Indian near a Hindu temple and people holding BJP flag in front of a bus. It was claimed that a Hindu temple in London was sending busloads of RSS supporters to Leicester to attack Muslims.
This claim also has been thoroughly debunked. Yatin Bhimani, the owner of the Coach company Angel Tours, has clarified that his buses always stop near the Hindu temple on Ealing Road in London as it is a well-known place and has a place for a bus. He also said that on September 17th, his bus stopped there for a longer duration as the bus was facing some trouble. His claims were supported by The Guardian journalist Aina Khan, who posted the GPS log of the bus which showed that the bus didn’t go to Leicester on that day.
On the question of people holding a BJP flag near his bus, Bhimani said that a group of people had hired his coach to go to Glasgow to see Narendra Modi addressing the UN Climate Change Conference last year, and during the trip the photo was taken which was uploaded on Bhimani’s Facebook account. The coach company owner said that his buses have not gone to Leicester in the last 2 months, and denied any link with RSS or BJP.
Despite all this evidence showing that there was no extremist RSS hand behind the Leicester violence, Islamists like Mohammed Hijab are still trying to blame ‘extremist Hindutva’ for the violence, to protect the Islamists who are the real culprit behind the situation. Indian leftist portals are also giving such Islamists a platform to spread their anti-Hindu propaganda.
