The Faux-Radicalism of Kneecap Wed Apr 30, 2025 19:00 | Andrew Doyle
Kneecap's vocal support for Hamas and call for fans to murder Tory MPs is obviously reprehensible. But it's just for show, says Andrew Doyle. The police shouldn't waste their time investigating rappers.

»» something smelled about this story from the start. but in these weird times it seemed plausible. Many other examples of things like this all the time happening int the us of a - unfortunately now those stories wont get the exposure they deserve.
such as, 80,000 Americans are forbidden to be on a airplane. There is no law that prevents them, but Bush signed a dictate, and Bush gets his way.

Federal agents' visit was a hoax
Student admits he lied about Mao book
The UMass Dartmouth student who claimed to have been visited by Homeland Security agents over his request for "The Little Red Book" by Mao Zedong has admitted to making up the entire story.
The 22-year-old student tearfully admitted he made the story up to his history professor, Dr. Brian Glyn Williams, and his parents, after being confronted with the inconsistencies in his account.
Had the student stuck to his original story, it might never have been proved false.
[....]
The student's motivation remains a mystery, but in the interview on Thursday, he provided a glimpse.
"When I came back, like wow, there's this circus coming on. I saw my cell phone, and I see like, wow, I have something like 75 messages and like something like 87 missed calls," he said. "Wow, I was popular. I usually get one or probably two a week and that's about it, and I usually pick them up."

To spread rumours and make all sorts of accusations against government agencies and so called "black organisations" only for the whole thing to be decared a bogus hoax!
yes, typical of Indymedia - it corrects itself via the comments.

James Carville Suckered by Claim that Homeland Security Agents Visited Student Who Ordered Mao Book
Yes, and as you say on your own blog:
'In all fairness to the left, however, the conservative site Newsmax.com accepted the story, and a reader posted it on Free Republic. In the latter case, of course, the story wasn’t posted by the editorial staff of Free Republic.'
And your blog frequently cites Murdoch media outlets like FOXnews and SKYnews as well as FrontpageMag.com - you seem to dance to what ever tune they play, such as the 'War On Christmas' PUHleeez!
Here on Indymedia.ie people can correct posts with countering information as the news story develops - that's how it works. Only an idiot would accept information from any news source unquestioningly.
(WMD in Iraq, Saddam/911 connection, War on Christmas, and from your blog, that Cindy Sheehan wants more dead American soldiers in Iraq)
Care to explain why your blog doesn't allow comments?
So far, the result of the Homeland Security & Mao book story are some embarrassed local reporters and some 'librul' bloggers and columnists, most of which have posted corrections on their web sites.
And, so far, because of this inaccuracy and falsehood tens of thousands of civilians were not killed.
And, so far, because of this inaccuracy and falsehood Halliburton still has not gotten a no-bid contract.
another strange tale of XXI century reefer madness.
Get back to working to destroy Israel and undermining the global war on terror. Your domestic work smacks of amateurism.
