A White Supremacist Youth Group Helped Orchestrate the Belfast Riots After Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson stoked anger over a horrific knife attack in Belfast, a youth group linked to a global neo-Nazi movement quietly orchestrated anti-immigrant riots.
Within an hour after a horrific knife attack took place in Belfast on Monday night, far-right UK activist Tommy Robinson had shared a video of the incident on X, a post that racked up 6 million views.
Within hours Elon Musk, the owner of the platform, weighed in, agreeing with a post calling for “consequences” for politicians.
By Tuesday morning, supercharged by X, the video was everywhere, and groups on Facebook were organizing protests across Northern Ireland and the UK. Far-right figures in the US and UK continued to pour fuel on the fire online, framing the incident as part of a broader antiwhite agenda being perpetrated in Western countries.
By Tuesday evening, violent protests had broken out in Belfast, with masked rioters setting fire to vehicles, kicking in the doors of homes they believed housed immigrants, and setting those homes on fire.
Politicians were quick to criticize Musk and Robinson, who did not reply to requests for comment . . .

DeleteTommy Robinson is now, apparently, friends with Elon Musks "father". Reports claimed Robinson (Yaxley Lennon) was due to be eating with Musks "father" the night he, Robinson, turned up at an anti immigrant rally. These groups are solidifying and holding social dialogue perhaps for the first time since Hotler unified far-right groups in Germany. These groups became the nucleus of the NSDAP, Nazi Party, in the 1920s and we know the outcome of this dialogue between these groups. Today, of course, with social media, a large portion owned by Musk, such far-right unity is easier. Behind this meeting of Nazi minds are the same arguments and poison pedaled by Hitler; playing on people's prejudices and fears. The so-called anti fascist organisations must take notice before, as happened in Germany, it is too late.
