budaatum: That would be because Proud Boys came up after Antifa was targeting conservative groupings and meetings. The left called them white supremacists , the lamestream media never went into the details of the leader because that would destroy the white supremacists narrative. Enough education for today. |

basilico: When you see them with black wife and children, have all kinds of race involved, it will be hard to say if they see a black man in isolation they will kill him and Ibime has been preaching. I'd like to know if there has ever been a situation where they lynch a black man. I checked yesterday, their leader is brown as some want to argue here, they vice leader is Black, they call him the pope. So two people of color are leading a white supremacy group. I don't understand. |

CutieKing:Tell the people in Northeastern part of Nigeria, Laduna, Plateau and other States being kidnapped and killed by Boko Haram terrorists that they are not violent. Tell the people in the South that are being raped, maimed, kidnapped and killed that by Cow herders that have the same beliefs as Boko Haram that it means nothing. Bubu is silently sympathetic to the cause of Boko Haram and so are some of his top Government officials and Minister Pataki. Danger is looming in Nigeria when Boko Haram fighters caught are being rehabilitated and enlisted in the Army. Like i said, Nigeria is on the precipice and i hate to see her fall off the cliff. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Some on this thread like to defend terrorists and extremists. Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes says he is quitting right wing group FBI labels 'extremist' Andrew Buncombe Seattle Thursday 22 November 2018 Gavin McInnes, the founder of the far right wing Proud Boys group, said he was quitting – a day it was revealed the FBI had listed it as an “extremist organisation with ties to white nationalism”. In a video posted to YouTube, Mr McInnes, also a founder member of Vice Media, said he was “officially disassociating” himself from the Proud Boys “in all capacities, forever”. He said he was doing to help the legal problems confronting several members charged after attacking demonstrators in New York, who were protesting a speech he was delivering. “I was told to use the term “stepping down” but I refused because that makes no sense. I was never the leader, only the founder. Although, the media will likely say, ‘Gavin McInnes Steps Down as Leader of Extremist Hate Group Proud Boys’ because that’s how they roll,” he said. The 48-year-old, described by the New York Times as a “Brooklyn hipster turned far-right provocateur”, established the Proud Boys in 2016, claiming it was “a fraternal organisation” interested in defending so-called western values. He has denied it is extremist or violent, even though he has a record of making racist, misogynistic and otherwise offensive remarks. He has used a racial slur to describe African American senator Cory Booker, said he admits he is Islamophobic, and has insulted foreign cultures from India to Australia. The group has also repeatedly been associated with violent attacks, including against anti-fascist protesters. Members of the group allegedly took part in last summer’s far right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where one protester was killed. Twitter, Facebook and Instagram have blocked the organisation. More recently, around half-a-dozen members of the group have been charged after clashing with anti-fascist protesters following a speech Mr McInnes delivered on October 12 at the Metropolitan Republican Club, on New York’s Upper East Side. The announcement by Mr McInnes, who could not be contacted on Thursday, came just days after it was reported that FBI considered the group “extremist organisation with ties to white nationalism”. “The FBI has warned local law enforcement agencies that the Proud Boys are actively recruiting in the Pacific Northwest and that some Proud Boy members have contributed to the recent escalation of violence at political rallies held on college campuses, and in cities like Charlottesville, Virginia; Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington,” the document added. The Southern Poverty Law Centre (SPLC), an Alabama-based watchdog group, has described the the organisation as both “extremist” and a “hate group”. “Their disavowals of bigotry are belied by their actions: rank-and-file Proud Boys and leaders regularly spout white nationalist memes and maintain affiliations with known extremists,” the SPLC says of the group. “They are known for anti-Muslim and misogynistic rhetoric. Proud Boys have appeared alongside other hate groups at extremist gatherings like the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville.” 4 Likes 2 Shares

Tdotbluejays:salford, let them keep snoozing until Nigeria turns to Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan. I hope all these Nigerians are in good shape and have their visas and private jets ready because the Thieflicians they support have their private jets and some of them were showcased at the Kano Airport few days ago when Bubu's son got married plus their leaders have tons of foreign currencies all over Europe and Americas.

Tdotbluejays:30 people just like that! That's war, but the government would just move on like that's normal. It's gotten so bad that they don't event know how horrible it is. The government does not keep numbers of deaths by violence from Fulani herdmens and bandits rampaging all over the country anymore. The life of a cow (treasure to Northerners) is more valuable than that of the masses as it stands now. It was the Defence Academy yesterday and 3 officers killed. I am surprised that TVC, an APC leaning media house is even reporting that Nigeria is number 3 on the Global Terrorism Index. 2 Likes |

Tdotbluejays: Where white nationalism is defined as a crime and black nationalism is not
He was holding a speech. There was a clash with antifa who came to protest his speech. antifa clearly the provocateurs here
Defending western values became wrong at what date? What western values was he defending?
Islamophobia is a tag to shame anyone who criticises aspects of Islam Which many of us on this thread already have Why are antifa going to his meetings.To look for a confrontation that media will tag as a violent event. Getting the pattern? Always antifa showing up spoiling for a fight.
The far left SPLC that tags any conservative as hate groups and is used as factcheckers by the likes of Facebook

basilico: But when a grooming gang and a rape gang is exposed expect him to whitewash it. Antifa go about attacking almost anything burning businesses and police they are good Tomorrow he will go to Twitter and screenshot people talking about the most frightening moment in their life. And when they start to discuss experience dating almost 2 decades, he will not post it like Port Harcourt is that bad then make a comment about his favorite super heroes (US) to go and fight crimes |

LordReed: 1 "America's interests are varied not just oil but oil is major that is why Saudi is a key ally of (the America)".... LordReed 2 "Oil ceased to be major (interes) under Trump.".... Zendi 3 "If that is the case then why did Trump go to Saudi?".... LordRead (As if oil is the only reason a US President would go to Saudi). Now, LordRead (not my Shepherd ), the only thing I disagreed with in your original post was the word 'major', stating that that word was dethroned by the oil Supremacy America attained under President Trump. However, nothing I said meant that oil ceased to be among those varied interests you mentioned. 'Ceased to be major' does not mean 'ceased to be among'. Nor does my term 'oil supremacy' mean absolute zero need to import even a drop of oil from Saudi. It simply means can no longer be blackmailed or held hostage because of oil. Let me tell you something you don't know about the oil trade; Even if America is drowning in own oil output, some American refineries may still find need to go for the Saudi or even Nigerian grade crude more compatible with the refineries designed and build the era of heavy dependence on externally sourced crude. Nigerian and Saudi cruces are among the best grade, I think for ease of refining. So, oil may remain among those varied interests but has lost the 'major' status. Albeit cordial relations remained. 1 Like 1 Share |

Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage." "A good tactic is one your people enjoy." "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag." "Keep the pressure on." "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself. " "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."

zendi: Me I don't understand how your second largest oil trading partner is not a major concern for your oil/energy industry. Sure there's a glut in the market because of the lockdowns but that only happened in 2020/2021 before that oil imports were well above half a million barrels per day and had even increased over the past decade. How you're claiming that Saudi's oil is no longer a major concern for the US is what I am struggling to understand. Can you provide proper context because going by figures I see this still looks like a major concern for the US. 1 Like |
