'You don't know what you are talking about':Elon Musk DESTROYS ill-prepared BBC reporter
in car-crash interview and accuses him of lying about Twitter hate speech 'being on the rise'
* Elon Musk was questioned by BBC's James Clayton over rising harmful content
* Mr Musk said reporter was 'lying' after he failed to give examples of such posts
Twitter owner Elon Musk has accused a BBC reporter of lying during an interview in a row over whether incidents of hate speech are increasing on the social network.
Mr Musk was asked by US tech journalist James Clayton how he would respond to claims that there are not enough staff at Twitter to police rising hateful content.
But he challenged the reporter to give him examples of such content - and when Mr Clayton declined to do so, Mr Musk accused him of spreading a 'false' claim.
During a wide-ranging discussion at Twitter's headquarters in San Francisco, Mr Musk also said that Twitter had 'four months to live' when he bought the firm. He insisted it needed to cut costs to save it from bankruptcy and confirmed that about 80 per cent of its staff have been axed since he took over last October.
And, explaining the last-minute nature of the interview - for which Mr Clayton is said to have had only 20 minutes to prepare - Mr Musk later tweeted: 'I said BBC could come Twitter, then, to my surprise, a reporter shows up.' Mr Musk also described the interview as 'penetrating deep and hard'.

America First Legal @America1stLegal
🔎NEW — America First Legal has launched an investigation into potential DOJ involvement in the Southern Poverty Law Center’s underhanded attempt to sabotage the trial of Douglass Mackey.
…
The Department of Justice indicted Douglass Mackey in February 2021–shortly after the Biden Administration came into office–on one count of “Conspiracy Against Rights,” alleging that satirical memes Mr. Mackey posted on Twitter constituted a “conspir[acy] to injure, oppress, threaten, and intimidate one or more persons in the free exercise and enjoyment” of a constitutional right.
On March 13, 2023, jury selection for Mr. Mackey’s trial began. On that same day, Mr. Mackey requested a continuance because an SPLC “researcher” named Luke O’Brien was about to publish a hit piece against Mr. Mackey’s expert witness for the case, Professor George Hawley. As Mr. Mackey’s lawyer explained, “O’Brien waited until the start of the trial to submit written questions to Professor Hawley in an apparent attempt to paint him as an extremist, including questions based on private emails which Mr. O’Brien obtained, simultaneously asking Professor Hawley if his employer, the University of Alabama, [was] aware of his proffered testimony at Mr. Mackey’s trial.”
To avoid any prejudice to the trial, Mr. Mackey’s lawyer asked the SPLC to delay the publication of the hit piece until after Professor Hawley’s testimony, but the SPLC refused. In response, Professor Hawley withdrew as a witness.
The timing of these events strongly suggests the SPLC was directly trying to affect the outcome of Mr. Mackey’s trial by intimidating a vital defense witness. This outrageous, devious conduct was a direct attack on the integrity of Mr. Mackey’s trial and encourages the American people at large to distrust the fairness of our justice system.

Suspect arrested in NYC smoke shop execution caught on tape was out on bail for shooting at cops
The suspect captured on shocking video wearing a jacket with the letters FDNY emblazoned on the back while shooting and killing another man execution-style in a New York City smoke shop was arrested Tuesday. Police say the same man also murdered a 19-year-old just 30 hours prior and was out on bail for allegedly opening fire toward cops two years ago.
Messiah Nantwi, 21, was arrested and charged in the murder of 36-year-old Brandon Brunson in Sunday's brazen Harlem smoke shop slaying, as well as the murder of 19-year-old Jaylen Duncan, who was fatally shot in the head near Madison Avenue and East 132nd Street Saturday afternoon.
Nantwi, according to reports, was out on bail for the attempted murder of a police officer after allegedly firing at cops during a graffiti stop in the Bronx in February 2021.

Jordan subpoenas FTC chair over probe into Musk's Twitter takeover
House Judiciary chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) subpoenaed Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan on Wednesday over that agency's probe of Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter, according to copies of the subpoena obtained by Axios.
Why it matters: House Republicans have made the FTC's investigation into Musk's purchase of Twitter one of many targets in their war against what they view as the weaponization of the U.S. government against conservatives.
The details: The new subpoena demands a sweeping range of documents and internal communications relating to the FTC's probe, asking that they be turned over to the committee by 9 a.m. Wednesday, April 26.
* "To date, your voluntary compliance has been woefully insufficient," Jordan wrote in a letter addressed to Khan.
* "Accordingly, the Committee is issuing a subpoena to compel the production of documents necessary to inform our oversight."
* The letter defends the committee's oversight power and notes that "legislative reforms could include… laws to ensure that the FTC’s investigative and enforcement authority is not abused in ways that hurt commerce and competition or harm civil liberties and free speech."

Rubio demands probe into ActBlue
after reports of ‘fraudulent’ fundraising off seniors
Rubio says the FEC needs to impose tougher rules to prevent donor fraud
EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is demanding that the Federal Election Commission (FEC) open an investigation into Democratic fundraising behemoth ActBlue after a report claimed it was raking in cash from unwitting elderly Americans.
"Two weeks ago, alarming reports emerged of fraudulent donations being reported to the FEC by ActBlue," Rubio wrote in a letter to the FEC chairs. "These reports indicate that numerous individuals, including senior citizens, have purportedly donated to ActBlue thousands of times a year. However, according to recent investigative reports, many of these individuals had no idea that their names and addresses were being used to give thousands of dollars in political donations, with most of these ‘donations’ going to ActBlue."
Project Veritas claims to have spoken with some people on fixed incomes who were stunned to learn that their names and addresses were used to donate thousands of dollars to ActBlue.

Is it possible that Europe's elite actually understands the situation very well, but has a completely different plan for it than what might seem reasonable to us?
On the eve of World War II, the elite of Europe, especially Britain, worked to prevent a world war with Germany. This elite, which included large parts of the aristocracy, the royal houses and especially representatives from the academy, believed that it was possible to get along with Hitler, thus avoiding a world war. Their plan almost succeeded, but after conciliation measures and far-reaching concessions made by France and Great Britain for the sake of peace, (some within the framework of the Munich Agreement, and some when they overlooked Nazi Germany's gross deviations from the terms of this and other agreements), they chose to guarantee the security of Poland, and unfortunately Hitler decided to invade Poland. The sequel is known.
After the war, the successors of those elites calculated the result, and came to the conclusion that they were right. If you don't take into account that unpleasant matter with the Jews, those countries in Europe that surrendered to Hitler and cooperated with him suffered less loss of life and property in World War II than those countries that insisted on fighting him. This cold calculation of course did not take into account the Jewish victims, and precisely because of this the conclusion could not be presented publicly, but it was certainly possible to build a new European policy in light of it.
As part of the conclusions of these elites, they understood that on the next occasion when a similar evil would arise in the world, the policy to be adopted is complete surrender. It is understood that this cannot be written into the fundamental lines of any government. But such a policy can certainly be implemented. All they need to make sure is that the mistakes made in Hitler's appeasement will not be repeated. It is forbidden in any way that on that occasion a guarantee for the security of any country will be given, and of course the Jews should be excluded from the equation. The elites, whose hatred of the Jews was ingrained in their blood, had no problem implementing the second step, but the holocaust of European Jews made anti-Semitism very unpopular, so this issue was put aside for the time being.
The lesson is applied
The elites' first opportunity to implement their plan came right after the end of World War II. Everything they were not willing to give to Hitler was given to Stalin on a silver platter, including Poland, and even far beyond. Later, the elite was busy covering up all the information about the brutal cruelty of his regime, and glorifying his communism as a superior moral method. Everything to eliminate every possible reason for a confrontation with the Soviet Union. Millions of people in Eastern Europe paid with their lives so that in Western Europe they could continue their lives in peace. As far as the Western European elite were concerned, the result was excellent. This period marked the Western European elite as left-wing, but this context did not stem from a real concern for the working class, but rather from the convenience of using the socialist utopia to justify their actions, just as the slogan of equal rights is only used by them today as an Orwellian means. Although it must be admitted that a significant part of the leftists do not belong to the elites, and they use their ideological discipline and innocence to lead them in the direction they want.
On that occasion, the members of the European elite, from now on they will also be called the European left, found another tool to deter against war - the nuclear balance of terror. It is not a coincidence that American leftists (mostly Jews in our opinion) are behind the leaking of nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union. This measure will also return in our regions in the cooperation with the Iraqi nuke, and the completion with the Iranian nuclearization.
In the 1960s during the Vietnam War, the American left again joined the overall effort. This success also cost the lives of an unknown number of Vietnamese and Cambodians.

A new world evil to be appeased
Their success in keeping the cold war in the fridge did not make them rest on their laurels. Already in the 1970s, the Europeans detected the potential for the new global evil. In a chance meeting I had at a resort in Europe with a man who introduced himself as a researcher at a United Nations research organization in Geneva, during a polite conversation in which I brought up the difficulties we have in the Middle East with the extremists in the region, that man told me that their research indicates that the world The third (as they called it then) is headed for a confrontation with the Western world. Israel, he explained to me, is simply at the forefront of this wave. For a moment I was happy that we had found allies, but my interlocutor cooled my enthusiasm by saying that Europe would do everything to escape from the confrontation. At that time it was not yet clear to me how it was possible to escape from a confrontation, although I understood then that at least until the evil reached its gates, Europe would let us be the scapegoat. Today I understand - it is possible to escape from a confrontation, as in the disgusting chauvinist joke about the one who prevented rape by So she surrendered.
In order to evade the confrontation, while applying the lessons from the failure to evade the confrontation with Hitler, the West began to produce the multicultural fiction, the ultimate guilt of colonialism that will never be appropriated, and the independent need for endless dialogue. All this, of course, without guaranteeing the security of any country or community. Since the Jewish state was in the middle of this intensifying evil, it was also necessary to generate renewed legitimacy for a type of anti-Semitism. The elites activated the leftist organizations to achieve all these goals.
These efforts of the left have had successes and failures along the way. The most notable success was when, in 1979, at the right time, the United States was headed by a warm-hearted president who allowed extreme Islam to take over Iran - a country that until that time was considered an ally of the West. The principle that there is no guarantee for the security of any country and the well-being of any community has proven itself. The price that millions of citizens in Iran paid for this is still unknown, and as much as it depends on the European left, it will never interest them.
The most notable failure occurred following the events of September 11. So Europe had to be dragged into the war in Afghanistan. But the left did not say desperate and he managed to communicate the involvement in Afghanistan, to thwart it, and now he is about to bring it to an end. Anyone who thinks that a similar mistake may be repeated should try to say in any European forum the combination of the words "September 11" and see what looks of disgust and sarcasm he will encounter.
the challenges at hand
Now the left faces three important challenges. The first - a domestic challenge - to accommodate the growing minority population in their countries while adopting the way of extreme Islam, without confronting them, without trying to change their "culture", and while bending Western laws to suit them. The rise of movements such as the Dutch Freedom Movement led by Geert Wilders makes their job more difficult, but through the media they own they work to denounce him as a fascist.
At the same time, almost in the opposite way, they are faced with the task of making the victims of the Holocaust and their descendants worthy of being victims once again. Again the same number - six million. This task is important in order to prevent them from having to act if Israel is destroyed as a result of their success in the third challenge, which we will get to shortly. For this task they adopted the lies that were flowered as part of the invention of the Palestinian people. An invention that they stood at the cradle of its creation and they labored to nurture and hone it. Today they use it to once again present the Jew/Israeli as Satan, who deserves every disaster that befalls him. To meet this challenge, they finance the bodies that work to spread the propaganda of lies that underpins this new anti-Semitism.

The third challenge, as you probably guessed, is the Iranian nuclear training. An Iranian nuke can provide an umbrella for all radical Islam and all terrorist organizations that will prevent any possibility of confrontation with them. This is their wet dream. They are of course starting from the assumption that an Iranian nuke towards Europe will act in the same way as a Russian nuke. Unfortunately for them, precisely at this time some of the central European countries are headed by leaders who are not so sure about this, and they are trying to prevent the Iranian nuclear. But even these leaders know that they must not upset these elites too much, so they will not deviate from using diplomatic means that have been found to be completely ineffective against Iran. On the other hand, the USA is now headed by a sympathetic president, who has already proven himself during the violent suppression of the Iranian opposition demonstrations, which earned him only a faint protest - too little and too late. For the second challenge, which will prevent any need to react, whatever happens to Israel will happen. At the same time, the European left will now try to increase its efforts to neutralize the Israeli nuke itself. So that Israel will not be able to react if it is attacked. Here, too, they expect assistance from the sympathetic American president, but this assistance can come Manifested only after the elections in November, when Obama will no longer need the Jewish vote.
What can we do?
I am convinced that you accept my words with great skepticism. But if you analyze the events that befall us from the premise of the above explanations, you will notice over time that phenomena that until now seemed illogical to you are beginning to "make sense". And for all that, what can we do against such an amorphous global phenomenon, whose goals are even seemingly lofty - "Peace global"? Well, there is something to do. The very understanding of the process will allow us to deal with it more easily. As any soldier in the IDF will tell you - identifying the source of the fire is the key to success in silencing it.
We must not allow global public opinion to erase the phrase "radical Islam" from its politically correct lexicon. The data and dry facts that link the deteriorating security situation in the world with the fundamentalist Islam that is spreading in the way that the left tries to characterize as a legitimate "culture" must be presented again.
We must fight to expose and block the funding sources of the entities that slander Israel - it is no coincidence that the New Israel Fund is financed, among other things, by the Ford Foundation, which also supports Islamic movements. In addition, we must not confuse freedom of speech with the freedom to slander and spread lies, and laws must be enacted that will limit the ability of bodies working to delegitimize Israel, and they must be strictly enforced. These companies are dangerous - their slanders can kill us.
And last but not least - we must not be fooled by the lip service of so-called friends who promise to take part of the responsibility for our security. We must not give up full control of all the military capabilities we need to defend ourselves. Any attempt to remove the ambiguity over the Israeli nuclear issue must be firmly repelled, a step designed to neutralize Israel from this capability. Moreover - we must continue to cultivate our independent ability to develop weapons and means of defense of all kinds, including those that are currently only found in science fiction literature.
Here are other issues in which you can come to a conclusion on your own - what does this say about the Quartet plan for a solution in the Middle East? What does this say about support for Obama candidates in November? What does this say about the objectivity of international commissions of inquiry?
