It may be apocryphal that a US oligarch stated that he could pay one half of the working class to fight the other, but that view so well encapsulates one of the ways in which the small number of oligarchs that rule Western nations remove the focus from themselves and keep their opposition divided. The current UK race riots have many aspects that point to such an oligarch game being played, just as the Conservative PM of the Labour Party, Starmer, telegraphs that the next five years will be ones of continued austerity for the many, no reversal of the massive tax cuts for the rich of the past decades, more state funds directed to unneeded military spending, and continued oligarch feasting off state institutions such as the NHS. Given the probable reaction of the UK population to such traitorous behaviour by their PM, together with the increasingly obvious Western defeat in Ukraine, and the ongoing success of the anti-Zionist rallies, more authoritarian state powers were needed. Much less bread and much less circuses does not tend to work out well for quiet oligarchic rule.
So let’s consider the “trigger” for these race riots. A second generation Christian Rwandan young adult, born in Wales, suffering from loneliness and mental issues carried out a horrific attack that killed three little girls and injured a number more. A truly awful thing, but as the police authorities noted very early on this was not terrorist related and it certainly does not look like a racially or religiously motivated attack. Instead of serving to calm down the public after the first racist riot in the town of Southport where the attack happened, where the local population immediately rejected the racist rioters, politicians and commentators on all sides instead escalated their rhetoric.
Tommy Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon), one of the leading anti-Muslim and pro-Zionist figures in the UK (although he now lives in Spain), leapt into action to stoke racist hatred on any media he could find. He has a history of racist and fascist violence, for which he has been in prison a number of times. In 2021, he was found to have libelled a 15-year-old refugee at a school in Huddersfield and was ordered to pay £100,000 plus legal costs․ In 2021, he was subjected to a five-year stalking prevention order for harassing journalist Lizzie Dearden and her partner; he had threatened to falsely accuse her partner of being a pedophile in response to her reporting on his financial activities. Amazing that he was not jailed for attempted blackmail. David Miller, on Twitter, covered Robinson’s extensive Zionist connections and the Zionist and UK establishments probable linkages to anti-Muslim violence in the UK:
1. The riots have been instigated by the Zionist asset Stephen Yaxley-Lennon ('Tommy Robinson'), who has been working for the State of Israel since 2009 as part of the so-called 'counterjihad' Islamophobia movement established by that state. When his organisation, the English Defence League, was incorporated in 2011, two years after its inception, it was named the English & Jewish Defence League. The Jewish Defence League, a Zionist terrorist organisation, has been a key part of violent Islamophobic street thuggery in the UK over the past decade.
2. Yaxley-Lennon is one of the most high-profile actors in the State of Israel's Online Influencers Programme in response to Operation Al-Aqsa Storm. He and others, like Oli London, Noa Tishby, Hen Mazzig, Arsen Ostrovsky and Emily Schrader (and many others) are paid to distribute Zionist propaganda, of which pushing back against pro-Palestine protests and sowing Islamophobia are two important and interlinked aims.
3. The recent Islamophobic riots in the UK should be seen as the latest phase of the State of Israel's war on British Muslims, who it sees as originating the protest movement in the UK. These riots are designed to punish Muslims for their anti-Zionist sentiment after various other methods to suppress opposition to Zionism by the State of Israel have been thwarted. The State of Israel's attempts to use its assets and operatives in the British political and media class — such as Suella Braverman and Michael Gove — to thwart pro-Palestinian protests have failed. Zionist counter-protests have failed to mobilise significant numbers. Sporadic Zionist thuggery and the use of other assets — such as Iranian secularist extremists — have also failed to intimidate Muslims. So now the State of Israel is weaponising its cannon fodder on the white nationalist far-right, who have greater numbers than either Zionist street thugs or Iranian monarchists and secularist extremists.
4. Finally, there are also questions about which actor authored the idea that Muslims were responsible for the ostensible triggers for these events. MI6 and its assets (eg Paul Mason) are desperately trying to pretend this was a Russian disinfo op. But the original stories did not come from Russia. Where did they come from?
Then we also have the activities of the right wing Zionist Farage, who instead of noting the limited nature of the riots fear mongered and called for an extensive authoritarian crack down. In his address (below) he tries hard to appear racially balanced, but he has previously (further below) claimed a “two tier policing” that treats the white population worse than the “Muslim community”.
That he is an anti-Muslim Zionist is very obvious. Elon Musk, who bent the knee to the Zionist regime recently, has allowed Twitter to become a hot bed of racist bigotry, and very obvious inflammatory disinformation; facilitating the propagandist messaging of a major violent societal reaction that does not exist in reality.
Then we have the British PM, Kier Starmer, who was extremely instrumental in destroying the Labour Party leadership of Jeremy Corbyn - a man opposed to the Zionist regime, militarism, and British foreign policy in general. This campaign extensively used fake claims of anti-semitism to destroy Corbyn’s career and have him removed from the Labour Party. Starmer seems to have no problem with harassing and forcing out anti-Zionist Jews from the Party. He is married to a Zionist, and his two children are being brought up Jewish and even though he is an avowed atheist he attends a Zionist synagogue with his family. He is also a proven British establishment servant, working to limit the fallout from the Saville pedophile scandal so that it did not expose major establishment figures, covering up other establishment scandals, and being directly involved in the establishment harassment ands imprisonment of Julian Assange while the Director of Public Prosecutions; he was knighted for his fealty and service to the British establishment.
Rather than stating the very limited nature of the race riots, and that these in no way represented the mass of the British population, and that that he fully supported the police efforts to calming the situation, he delivered what Mercouris typified as an “Orwellian Warning to Britain” that focused on authoritarian and repressive measures.
This follows the pattern of the US “Antifa” riots and the massive manipulation of the unarmed occupation of the US Capital Building that very much seems to have been actively allowed to happen and involved perhaps hundreds of plains clothes undercover state operatives, together with the fake and constructed “anti-racist”, “anti-misinformation”, and “Russia, Russia, Russia” etc. campaigns used to facilitate extensive censorship. The oligarchy are very good at playing both sides to create the outcomes that they desire, in many cases even creating the “sides”. With a future of lower living standards and decaying state institutions for the many and even greater wealth and income inequality amidst increased militarism, the possibility of rule through cultural hegemony is much lessened. Consent cannot be as easily created, and instead dissent must be met with increased repression. The natural trend that leads from a “liberal democracy” where the people get to select from the choices provided by the oligarchy, to increased authoritarianism and fascism; whether it be “liberal” or “conservative” fascism.
That so many commentators on both the left and the right have once again fallen for the establishment tricks and therefore facilitate the oligarch’s game of strong-man Bonapartism is sad to me. It’s the very same game that the Italian state and US security services played with their “strategy of tension” to keep communist electoral success at bay in the post-WW2 era.
Starmer may very well prove to be not the “least worst” electoral option, but in fact the much worse electoral option. An establishment and Zionist fascist attempting to hide behind a working class background and Labour flag. Very much like President Joe Biden, a lifelong servant of US oligarchy, the US Military Industrial Complex and the Zionist cause; his three children were even all married to Zionists. His best friend in the Congress being the greatest racist and misogynist in that institution.
The left/right culture, religion and racism wars are simply the shadows on the wall created by the oligarchy and their courtiers, we need to escape these shadows and see the world for how its is. That is the first required step to successful resistance.

Geopolitics And Climate Change: A Holistic And Joined Up View
Dead on. (Posted this elsewhere but certainly relevant to your analysis.) Millions of people don't simply pack up and leave their family, friends and homeland to go to places vastly different in climate, governance and culture. The reason they emigrate is the destruction of societies in Asia, Africa and Latin America by bombing, war, subversion, sanctions and economic exploitation by Empire. This has been systematically done by Western elites for profit. It has been and continues to be policy. The result has been wealth for them and chaos for the rest. The peasants at the bottom are left to squabble, fight, demonize and kill each other for scraps. More cheap labor coupled with racial animosity that prevents the lower classes from uniting and attacking the real culprits in this mess. Perfect. There are no good guys and bad guys at the bottom, just confused victims.
"This campaign extensively used fake claims of anti-semitism to destroy Corbyn’s career and have him removed from the Labour Party"
The ruling class understood that Corbyn's socialist programme, mild as it was, represented the most obvious aternative to the dystopian course of immiseration and racist division on which the UK , headed by Starmer and informed by the fascism of imperialism in rapid decay, is set.
The 2017 alternative of seeking independence from US hegemony, tending towards what has become BRICS and re-distributing the wealth piled up under centuries of empire and decades of neo-liberalism might not have convinced left sectarians but it put the fear of God into the ruling class.
Hence the defenestration of an historically popular radical candidate for political power, and the systematic destruction of the largest radical party in Europe.
