A small English town was ravaged by an apparent attack that saw cars burnt out in the early hours of Monday morning, with residents describing the scenes as something akin to a “war zone”.
Dorset police have announced that the are investigating reports of 13 cars being set on fire in and around the town of Wimborne in the early hours of Monday, between one and three o’clock in the morning.
In a statement, Detective Sergeant Simon Austin, of County CID, said: “These incidents have affected a large number of victims in the wider Wimborne area and we are aware that this will cause concern.
“I would like to reassure our local communities that officers are currently investigating all reported incidents and are making every effort to identify those responsible. People will see visible police activity as officers are making house-to-house and CCTV enquiries.”
The police went on to call on witnesses to come forward as well as anyone who might have CCTV or dash cam footage to submit potential evidence to the police.
The Times newspaper reports arsonists are thought to have travelled by motorcycle form one car to the next through several neighbourhoods, pouring “accelerant” on vehicles before sparking them off.
A local hairdresser, Chloe Torring, 25, said that she was “gutted” in a state of “complete shock and disbelief” to have discovered her car, which she purchased just five months ago, was destroyed in one of the fires.
“I was woken up by my neighbour ringing my doorbell to tell me my car is on fire. I was in complete shock and disbelief,” she said according to The Telegraph.
“It’s heart-wrenching to think someone would do such a horrible thing, for no good reason,” Torring said. “My car is completely destroyed. The engine is on the floor, I have no front half of my car – there’s just charcoal inside.”

Another local resident, Grant Stewart, 33, said: “I was woken up by a bang and thought it was a car crash, looked out the window to see an orange glow and people running around.
“One person comes running to the scene to wake up one of the owners of the car and their car was on fire. I went out to find it was like a war zone with three cars ablaze and bangs going off.”
As of this reporting, the police have yet to identify any suspects or potential motive for the apparent arson attack.
The largest mob lynching in the South was of Italians.
The 1891 lynching of 11 Italians in New Orleans, after a roundup of over 1,000 Italians, grew out of an internal conflict among Louisiana Democrats and was praised by progressives of the era.
“These sneaking and cowardly Sicilians, the descendants of bandits and assassins,” the New York Times editorial board railed. “Lynch law was the only course open to the people of New Orleans.”
Future Louisiana Gov. John M. Parker, who helped organize the lynchings, described Italians as “just a little worse than the Negro, being if anything filthier in habits, lawless, and treacherous.”
Columbus Day was created as a quasi-apology to Italian-Americans for the lynchings which held only until Democrat identity politics began tearing down statues of the Italian explorer.
The myth of white supremacy is a story retroactively invented during the civil rights movement.

The KKK targeted Catholics and Jews. It hailed the “anglo-saxon white man” rather than viewing skin color as the only thing that mattered. The black-and-white view of history in which bigotry was as binary as 1950s drinking fountains in Alabama reflected only a very brief reality during a decade or two in which the Irish, Italians and Jews had come to be accepted. An era of growing tolerance for minorities was ironically the prerequisite for both the widespread acceptance of the civil rights movement and the distortions of civil rights history that we are dealing with today.
White supremacy was a myth born out of a more tolerant era in which prejudice toward black people briefly became the most defining form of bigotry. One that most people quickly rejected.
Baby Boomers, the most influential generation in history, mistook their youthful experiences for absolute reality. Knowing nothing of history and caring even less, they used their vast cultural powers to make the 60s into the ‘ground zero’ of American history. Generations have grown up with their ahistorical view of “white supremacy” encoded in education and entertainment.
The myth of white supremacy has divided Americans into an artificial racial binary created by the aftermath of the civil rights movement. The descendants of Italians, Irish and Jews who faced persecution and lynchings are denounced for their “white privilege”. Historical revisionism has become even more grandiose with attempts like the 1619 Project to define all of American history around the racial binary. Critical race theory insists that the racial binary is inescapable.
The racial binary denies the oppression of anyone who can be seen as white. In an extreme example, Whoopi Goldberg sneered that the Holocaust was “white people doing it to white people. Y’all go fight amongst yourselves.” When the racial binary is the only measure of prejudice, thousands of years of Jewish, Irish, Slavic, Catholic, Protestant and other histories of persecution, oppression and martyrdom are irrelevant because the participants are “white”.
Outside the racial binary, no one else’s oppression matters and so no one else’s history matters.
The myth of white supremacy doesn’t just grotesquely twist American history around the racial binary, it usurps and eliminates the histories of Europe and even the Middle East. Jesus, a Jewish man, is depicted as black. Cleopatra, a Greek queen, also becomes black. The decade of distortion of the civil rights movement reaches thousands of years back to racialize the past.
And in the process it eliminates the histories and struggles of much of the world.
White supremacy is a myth. The KKK was not upholding a racial binary, but the supremacy of its particular group, Southern Anglo-Saxons with a certain pedigree, against all comers, French, Irish, Italians, Jews, blacks and anyone else who wasn’t a member of its narrow demographic. But that’s what inner city gangs also do with Latino and black gangs clashing over turf. It’s also reflected in the early 20th century urban clashes between Germans, Irish, Jewish, and Italians.
The KKK was not a unique phenomenon. Similar identity politics battles go back to the founding of America with nativists fighting off the Irish in New York City even in the early 1800s.
The Nazis, another group that tends to be used to represent a simplistic racial binary, weren’t white supremacists either. National Socialist ideology believed that Germans were descended from the Aryan peoples who had migrated out of India. That was why they adopted the ‘swastika’, a Buddhist symbol, as their emblem. The Nazis conducted extensive outreach to Arab and African Muslims, to Asian and Latin America, and recruited black soldiers into the Wehrmacht. Hitler’s closest ally outside of Europe was Imperial Japan. The Japanese and Chinese were declared to be honorary aryans.
While the Nazis were chasing people like my father, a blonde blue-eyed teenager who was valuable to the partisans because he looked a lot more like the Aryan ideal than Hitler, black entertainers were working in Berlin and Paris, and black soldiers were fighting for Germany. The Nazis despised black people and criminalized any relationship with German women, but they viewed Jews and gypsies as an urgent racial threat to be exterminated at all costs.
Black nationalists like Marcus Garvey admired Hitler. And the Nazis tried to influence African-Americans. “There have never been lynchings of colored men in Germany. They have always been treated decently,” Nazi propaganda aimed at African-American GIs claimed. “So you don’t have to be afraid to be with Germans.”
Liberal Jews struggle to tell the story of the Holocaust in the face of a dishonest mythical racial binary that groups Jews and Nazis together. And there is no way to tell that story or any other, those of lynched Italian immigrants, the Swedish immigrants on the plains, the Irish fighting for their rights, and the manifold conflicts that shaped Europe and modern civilization, not to mention the entire history of the Middle East, without demolishing the big lie of the racial binary.
America was not defined by “white supremacy” and nor was any other place. The KKK and the Nazis were not “white supremacists”, they were upholding power for their own group while persecuting and killing a broad spectrum of people from other groups. Having light colored skin did not mean getting a free pass from the KKK, let alone the Nazis who killed millions of people, the vast majority of whom would be considered white by today’s woke cultural establishment.
What we think of as “white supremacy” is a racist movement that arose largely in response to the civil rights movement. It quickly became marginalized and while its proponents hate black people, they also hate Jews. Recent domestic terrorist attacks carried out by self-identified white supremacists have been evenly divided between targeting Jews and black people.
A growing number of white supremacists are Latino making the racial binary even more senseless. But the idea of Latinos as a non-white race is an absurd addendum to the racial binary which is entirely detached from European and Latin American history and can be traced back to a liberal search for new minorities to recruit in the wake of the civil rights movement. Having decided that Latinos are non-white, liberals are confused when some Latinos decide that they are not only white, but members of a white master race. But the entire concept of La Raza or ‘The Race’ came from a Mexican intellectual who was an enthusiast of Nazi Germany.
Marcus Garvey, the founding father of black nationalism, and Jose Vasconcelos, the founding father of La Raza’s Latino racial nationalism, were both admirers of Hitler’s racialism. Contrary to the myth of white supremacy, in which white racialism is evil and those of other races is good, white supremacy, black nationalism and Latino racial nationalism derive from the same sources.
Racists of all races admire other racists. The greatest woke lie may be that the alternative to racism is anti-racism. Liberals used to know that the alternative to racism is not hating others.
But rather than admit that white supremacy and the racial binary are a myth and that the country is dealing with intergroup conflicts, as it always has, and that the boundaries between those groups are often artificial, Democrats and the media are doubling down on the racial narrative that lies at the heart of their power base that the civil rights movement still defines our history.
When we stop treating people as heroes or villains based on their skin color and actually look at what they believe, we will actually be able to address real bigotry, instead of convoluted exercises in racial power politics like redefining black racism as reverse racism or anti-racism.
Bigotry is inherent in human nature. No one of any race, ethnicity or creed is immune from it, but that doesn’t mean that we need to be bound by it. The impact of different bigotries can be defined by power, but power comes in different forms, and it has been a very long time since any large racial group in America was powerless: either politically or physically.
America doesn’t face a problem of white supremacy, but a multitude of quarreling groups who distrust each other and who have come to believe that success is a zero sum game. Democrat identity politics is so busy creating new groups from sexual fetishes and immigration that it never gets around to noticing that none of the existing groups get along with each other.
Diversity has ceased to unify, as it briefly did during the high points in American history, and has become a politically convenient source of division. The emphasis on a racial binary only makes all of that worse by turning Italians, the Irish, the Jews and, these days even Asians and Latinos who can be accused of “internalized whiteness” into scapegoats for Democrat social disasters.
White supremacy isn’t the issue, identity supremacy is. Generations have been told by the Democrats, by their educational systems and entertainment that they are defined by identity politics and that positive change will come when they narrowly fight for the interests of their group, while suspecting the worst of members of other groups, especially white people.
Non-white people are taught to believe that white people are hoarding power. In San Francisco, black people are being urged to demand slave reparations from the Asian population. Women are encouraged to resent men. Transgenders are told to hate women. Within the LGBTQ movement, gay men have become scapegoats. California just passed a ban on “caste discrimination” among Indians. This is what the utopia of the perpetually aggrieved looks like.
This isn’t white supremacy: it’s identity supremacy. And if we don’t move beyond it, there will be no nation, only one long endless civil war across the fractured territories of what was America.
White children in British schools could become a “declining minority” by 2060 as sky-high immigration continues to irreversibly change the racial demographic across the U.K., a leading Oxford demographer has claimed.
Dr. Paul Morland, a leading demographer at Oxford University, suggested that, in line with previous research on changing U.K. demographics, it is highly likely urban areas and young children would comprise a majority of people currently referred to as ethnic minorities.
“In terms of the speed of the decline, there was work done by demographers at Oxford and other work more recently that looks at 2060, where we’ll have perhaps 50-60 percent of people defining themselves as White British,” the Oxford academic told The Telegraph newspaper.
“But of course at that point, if you look at the primary school or the school-age folk or the people in the large cities, it would be a minority and a declining minority,” he added.
Combined with a decreasing birth rate, Dr. Morland believes the U.K. will continue to welcome mass levels of immigration from non-EU countries. Immigration from the European Union will decrease in part due to the restrictions on free movement following Brexit, but also due to the rise in living standards in countries like Poland where a large number of migrants fled to Britain in the early to late 2000s.
India and Pakistan sandwich Poland as the three most common non-U.K. countries of birth for migrants coming to Britain, although Polish arrivals are starting to decline.
Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures published in November last year revealed that one in six residents of England and Wales were born outside the U.K., around 10 million people. Additionally, 2021 census data published last year revealed that England’s two largest cities of London and Birmingham, as well as Leicester, are now minority White British.
Dr. Morland’s findings are consistent with a previous decade-old report by fellow Oxford academic, Prof. David Coleman, who estimated back in his 2010 report that White British people will be a minority in their own country by 2066 if current immigration levels continue. He also estimated that by 2056, around half of the 0-4 age group would comprise ethnic majorities.
Prof. Coleman, who subsequently founded the think tank and campaign group Migration Watch UK with Lord Green of Deddington, wrote in 2010:
The ethnic minority populations in the UK are growing substantially through immigration, a youthful age structure, and in some cases relatively high fertility. Their diverse demographic and socioeconomic characteristics have attracted considerable academic and policy attention, especially insofar as those distinctive characteristics have persisted in the generations born in the UK. No official projections of the UK ethnic populations have been published since 1979. This article provides projections to 2056 and beyond of 12 ethnic groups. Given overall net immigration and vital rates as assumed in the office for National Statistics 2008-based Principal Projection, and the ethnic characteristics estimated here, the ethnic minority populations (including the Other White) would increase from 13 percent of the UK population in 2006 to 28 percent by 2031 and 44 percent by 2056, and to about half the 0–4 age group in 2056.
Immigration, however, hasn’t remained at the same levels as in 2010. In fact, the governing Conservative Party has overseen record levels of mass immigration into Britain since coming to power in the same year, and leading experts predict soon-to-be published ONS data will show net migration into Britain this year rising to between 650,000 and 1 million — far above the previous peak of 504,000 recorded in June last year.
Such an increase in population not only has a cultural impact on the existing society and leads to potential problems with integration. It also exacerbates issues such as housing demand and supply, hospital waiting lists, school places, public transport and infrastructure if funding lags behind the surge in numbers.
850 public figures, including many university professors, are calling on politicians and the University of Frankfurt to protect the director of the Frankfurt Research Centre for Global Islam (FFGI), Susanne Schröter, against defamation. The statement is prompted by the attacks on Schröter after an event with the former Green politician Boris Palmer, which had caused a great stir in the media.
As the organiser of the conference “Managing Migration, Shaping Plurality”, Susanne Schröter was not responsible for the fact that her discussion partner Boris Palmer used the “N-word” and let himself be carried away by an inappropriate Holocaust comparison. Nevertheless, the event, which took place under the patronage of the Prime Minister of Hesse and at which renowned experts spoke about the chances of a more humane and sustainable immigration policy, is now being used to discredit Susanne Schröter and undermine her important research work on Global Islam.
Strange alliances have been formed in the process: Islamists, left-wing identitarians and so-called ” critics of Israel” have been trying for a long time to ward off any criticism, however restrained, of “political Islam” as an expression of “anti-Muslim racism”. Boris Palmer’s statements come just in time for this faction to increase the pressure on Schröter and the research centre. As the psychologist and migration researcher Ahmed Mansour noted in a video contribution, another “N-word” is often used in these attacks, which unfortunately hardly meets with any criticism: Namely, the participants of the conference, many of whom, like Mansour, have a “migration background” themselves, are labelled “Nazi” because they insist on being able to continue to distinguish between Muslims who are loyal to the constitution and Islamists who are hostile to the constitution.
Unfortunately, the academic system has not reacted adequately to the threat to academic freedom that this poses, but has, as all too often in the past, buckled before the wave of indignation of the protests. This is what the statement of the 850 supporters, who express their solidarity with Susanne Schröter, is directed against. They resolutely oppose “any defamation of academics critical of Islamism”, especially “demands for the closure of the Global Islam Research Centre”. After all, “a critical debate on political Islamism and current migration policy is essential”.
The statement goes on to say that criticism of the standpoints of Islam and migration researchers such as Susanne Schröter, Ralph Ghadban, Ruud Koopmans or Ahmad Mansour is of course legitimate, but that it should be carried out in “argumentative debate” and not slide into demands for the abolition of conferences or even into personal defamation campaigns. Accordingly, the statement ends with an appeal to politicians as well as to the Goethe University Frankfurt, where Susanne Schröter holds the chair for “Ethnology of Colonial and Postcolonial Orders”, to protect the director of the Research Centre Global Islam against defamation, to continue to support her in her research work and to defend her academic freedom.
The statement was signed by well over 200 university professors, including the lawyer Ebrahim Afsah (Copenhagen), the physician Heike Allgayer (Mannheim), the lawyer Britta Bannenberg (Gießen), the philosopher Maria-Sibylla Lotter (Bochum) and the historian Sönke Neitzel (Potsdam). Advisory board members of the Giordano Bruno Foundation have also expressed their solidarity with Susanne Schröter, including the ethnologist Christoph Antweiler (Bonn), the evolutionary biologist Axel Meyer (Constance) and the criminal law professor Holm Putzke (Passau). gbs board spokesperson Michael Schmidt-Salomon has signed the declaration not only personally, but also on behalf of the Giordano Bruno Foundation.

It isn’t easy to get your head around the depravity prevailing at government schools. This story might help:
A special needs student at a California high school was allegedly called a “bigot” by her teachers for mistakenly not using preferred pronouns, objecting to participating in a lesson about “scissoring” and refusing to get undressed near male teachers.
Scissoring is a perverted sex act that children are taught about in public schools — whether their parents like it or not:
When Marina Vivar signed her daughter, Thelma Gonzalez, up for a course on health and relationships at Glendale High School, she checked a box excusing her from being taught about “anything LGBTQ+ or about sexual acts which were gay in nature.”
The exemption was ignored. One size fits all where leftists are in control.
When Thelma observed that she should not be in a class teaching lesbian sexual techniques, teachers denounced her not only as a “bigot” but also as “intolerant and homophobic.”
Vivar told the Glendale City Council that this terminology would have been unfamiliar to Thelma, since it isn’t used in their home.
She added her daughter would not have known the words unless she learned them at school and that her disability prevents her from coming across them organically.
No worries; school authorities are on top of it:
Glendale High’s principal Benjamin Wolf conducted an investigation and concluded nothing happened.
With a name like Wolf, he should have been among the men alleged to be in the girl’s locker room when Thelma was expected to take her clothes off.
Another educrat reveals that it is Thelma who did wrong. Snarls Glendale High Communications Director Kristine Nam,
“The lesson Ms. Vivar is referencing was a general lesson from the health textbook about making healthy decisions in your relationships. The teacher did ask Ms. Vivar’s daughter to refrain from making inappropriate remarks in response to a reference to LGBTQ+ relationships.”
The number of illegal migrants attempting to reach Italian shores from North Africa sky-rocketed by 292 percent in the first four months of the year, new figures released by the Frontex border agency on Monday revealed.
New arrivals using the Central Mediterranean route into the European Union reached 42,165 between January and April with 14,474 attempted crossings in April alone.
The figure is a record high since Frontex began collecting data in 2009, surpassing the previous migrant crisis of 2015-2016.
Attempted crossings into the European Union have declined on other routes so far this year, with the Central Mediterranean route accounting for just over half of all new arrivals into Europe. The route is most popular among migrants from the Ivory Coast, Guinea, and Pakistan, which make up the top three nationalities in the Frontex data.
“Criminal smuggling groups are increasingly using makeshift metal boats hastily assembled within hours of departure. Oftentimes fishing boats tow these metal boats closer to the Italian island of Lampedusa, their main destination,” Frontex wrote in a press release.
Meanwhile, traffic has decreased in the Western Balkans by 21 percent, with 22,546 crossing attempts detected so far this year, while the Western African route to the Spanish Canary Islands is down 47 percent and the Eastern Mediterranean route into Greece is down 31 percent.
Meloni has recently been accused of being incapable of solving the migration crisis on Italy’s southern shores by French government officials, including Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin in remarks that sparked a diplomatic fallout between the neighboring nations.
The Italian government has long called for a greater European response to the crisis, insisting that Italy should not be solely responsible for protecting the European Union’s external border.
The Syrian Aram A., who became known for a brutal attack on a Jew, has apparently committed at least one more serious crime. As reported by the newspaper Bild-Zeitung with reference to information from investigative circles, the now 18-year-old migrant is alleged to have raped an underage girl in Berlin while the case was still pending.
The case had caused a stir throughout Germany in September 2021: Aram A., who was 16 at the time, abruptly assaulted Michael T., a Jew, in Hamburg’s Mönckebergstraße and smashed his face. At the time, a vigil for the state of Israel was taking place there, in which the 61-year-old was participating. Aram A. hit him so hard that Michael T. was left blind in his right eye.
The Hamburg District Court initially sentenced the Syrian resident of Berlin to 16 months probation in the first instance. As Aram A. appealed against the sentence, he was sentenced again last Friday, this time to 24 months on probation. In addition, he is to do 60 hours of social work.
The Berlin public prosecutor’s office declined to make an official statement, citing the age of the now eighteen-year-old. Aram A. is said to have been known to the police for various offences before. The Berlin public prosecutor’s office did not disclose details of the rape allegation that has now become public.
In the face of Taliban prohibitions on employment, a group of Afghan women and girls in the province of Herat have established a kitchen and started a catering business to support themselves, TOLOnews reported.
They set up this kitchen in their home and offer food to their clients every day. “Women are banned from working out of the house, we planned to be at home and have activities, so we started making Afghan traditional food,” said the head of the kitchen, Manizha Sadat.
Several women and girls have repeatedly called out the de-facto authorities to provide them with work outside their houses, however, the Taliban has continued with its curbs on women in Afghanistan.
“We ask the government to support us and cooperate with us and allow us to work outside of our houses,” said Yalda Hashimi, a kitchen worker, according to TOLOnews.
Thousands of women have stayed at home since colleges and schools stopped accepting female students, and there are restrictions on the work that women and girls can do in local and international NGOs.
However, some women and girls have started working, such as by picking up trades or other commercial endeavours, in order to make money.
Since the Taliban regained power in August 2021 after the US exit from the country, women are not allowed to work in the fields of education with domestic and international organisations, in gyms, or in public spaces.
Taliban has rolled back a wide range of human rights of women and girls, including a ban on attending high school and university, and restrictions on movement and work.
