Laura Loomer Denies Claims of Affair With Trump (Again) in Toxic Tirade Against Kamala Harris
The conspiracy theorist launched into an unhinged rant about her rumored romantic entanglement with Trump to repeat salacious and unfounded claims about Harris’ sexual history. Just days after threatening to sue Bill Maher for speculating about her cozy relationship with Donald Trump, 9/11 truther Laura Loomer has again hit back at rumors of a romantic affair with the Republican candidate while lobbing around her own defamatory claims about the vice president. “They’re taken it so far, and you know if I was a leftist journalist, if I was a Democrat, oh my God, the media would be up in arms if the Republican media was doing this to a left-wing journalist,” she said on her podcast Saturday. “‘Oh my god, they’re misogynist, they’re bullying a woman, they’re trying to Monica Lewinsky her, they’re trying to discredit the fact that she’s a working woman,’” she added, speculating what left-wing outlets might say. Her vitriolic tirade then took an ugly turn, with the conspiracy theorist dragging Kamala Harris’ name through the mud by repeating claims, often touted by far-right figures, that the vice-president was only able to advance her career as a San Francisco attorney in the 1990s by sleeping with the city’s then-Mayor Willie Brown. (…) Notorious for her white nationalism and proud Islamophobia, Loomer’s tendency toward hate speech and disinformation has in the past seen her banned from a startling variety of online platforms, ranging from established social media sites like Facebook and X to payment processors, vehicle rental services and even take-out apps.

Ben & Jerry’s launches ice cream campaign for Kamala Harris in Philadelphia
The founders of the ice cream company developed a new flavor to support their candidate. Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, better known as ice cream purveyors Ben and Jerry, landed in Philadelphia Monday to launch a campaign to endorse Kamala Harris for president — with ice cream treats. Working with the political action group MoveOn, they parked an ice cream truck at Franklin Square and handed out free ice cream, while simultaneously encouraging people to register to vote. They concocted a new flavor for their candidate. Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee is coconut ice cream with swirls of caramel and mixed with star-shaped red, white and blue candy sprinkles. “They say, ‘Bloom where you’re planted.’ Jerry and I are kind of planted in a freezer. We make ice creams,” said Cohen. “So, we’re making ice cream for Kamala.” It’s not the first time the ice cream company has endorsed a candidate. Ben & Jerry’s promoted the senator from their home state of Vermont, Bernie Sanders, in his presidential run in 2016, and revived the limited-edition flavor in 2020.

Reggaeton Star Nicky Jam Deletes Endorsement After Donald Trump Misgendering
Sports Reggaeton star Nicky Jam seems to be rolling back his support for Donald Trump after the Republican nominee mistakenly introduced him as a “hot” woman at a Las Vegas rally over the weekend. Jam initially made light of the gaffe in an Instagram post—its caption referred to himself, in Spanish, as a “hot woman,” accompanied by no fewer than 22 crying-laughing emojis. But, as of Sunday night, the post had been deleted. The comment section on his most recent post before it, which was unrelated to Trump, was also deactivated. Jam’s Trump endorsement, amplified by the buzz surrounding the awkwardly inaccurate rally introduction, has made him the subject of relentless criticism—and mockery—across the internet. Commentators flooded the most recent post on Jam’s Instagram with jokes at the vocalist’s expense.

Hitlergruß gezeigt? Rassistische Parolen auf Oktoberfest in Neuenhagen
Immer wieder wird der Partyhit „L’amour toujours“ für rassistische Sprüche missbraucht. Auch auf dem Oktoberfest in Neuenhagen kam zu einem Vorfall. Nach rassistischen Parolen zu dem Partyhit „L’amour toujours“ auf dem Oktoberfest in Neuenhagen (Märkisch-Oderland) ermittelt die Kriminalpolizei wegen des Verdachts der Volksverhetzung. Auf Videos sei zu sehen, dass eine Gruppe aus rund 30 bis 35 männlicher und weiblicher Jugendlicher mitsang, sagte ein Sprecher der Polizei Strausberg der Deutschen Presse-Agentur. Der Vorfall ereignete sich den Angaben zufolge am späten Samstagabend im Bereich einer Außenbühne, die sich vor den Festzelten befand. Obwohl die Polizei vor Ort war, wurden die rassistischen Äußerungen den Beamten zunächst nicht gemeldet, wie der Sprecher sagte. In der Nacht von Samstag auf Sonntag habe eine Person dann online Anzeige erstattet. Dem „RBB“ berichtete eine Besucherin, sie habe nach dem Lied zweimal den Hitlergruß in der Menge gesehen. Auf den Videos sei das nicht erkennbar, sagte der Polizeisprecher.

siehe auch: “Ausländer raus”-Rufe bei Stadtfest Rassistische Parolen zu “L’amour toujours” bei Oktoberfest in Neuenhagen gerufen. Erneut kam es im Zusammenhang mit dem Partyhit “L’amour toujours” zu ausländerfeindlichen Parolen. Auf dem Oktoberfest in Neuenhagen grölte eine offenbar größere Menschenmenge lautstark “Ausländer raus” – ohne dass jemand einschritt. Beim Oktoberfest in Neuenhagen (Märkisch-Oderland) am östlichen Stadtrand von Berlin sind am Wochenende offenbar lautstark rassistische Parolen gerufen worden. Auf mehreren Videos, die dem rbb vorliegen, ist zu sehen, wie eine dem Augenschein nach größere Gruppe von Stadtfestbesuchern beim Partyhit “L’ amour toujours” von Gigi D’Agostino die rassistischen Parolen “Deutschland den Deutschen, Ausländer raus” skandierte. Ein Sprecher der Polizeidirektion Ost bestätigte rbb|24 am Sonntag den Eingang einer Anzeige zu volkshetzenden Äußerungen auf dem Oktoberfest in Neuenhagen. Auf Videos sei zu sehen, dass eine Gruppe von rund 30 bis 35 Jugendlichen mitsang, sagte ein Sprecher der Polizei Strausberg der Deutschen Presse-Agentur am Montag. Obwohl die Polizei vor Ort war, wurden die rassistischen Äußerungen den Beamten zunächst nicht gemeldet, so der Sprecher. (…) “Viele erkannten den Song direkt, als er losging, es gab einen mega Ansturm auf die Tanzfläche.” Eine andere Besucherin sagt, als es zu dem Part ohne Text kam, “fing eine Gruppe Jugendlicher an, ‘Ausländer raus’ im Takt der Musik zu grölen und es stiegen viele weitere mit ein, sodass fast die ganze Menge diese Worte brüllte”. S. schätzt, dass es mindestens 50 Menschen waren, die lautstark mitgrölten. “Niemand ist eingeschritten, dabei standen die Security-Leute direkt daneben.” Auch die beiden DJs hätten nicht reagiert, “obwohl sie das sicher mitbekommen haben”. Der Gesang sei aus der Mitte der Tanzfläche gekommen. Der Song sei ganz regulär zu Ende gespielt worden, danach habe es Applaus gegeben. (…) Ebenso wie in Potsdam-Golm ermittelt nun auch in Neuenhagen der polizeiliche Staatsschutz. Eine der Oktoberfestbesucherinnen sagte rbb|24, sie habe nach dem Lied zudem zweimal “eindeutig den Hitler-Gruß in der Menge gesehen”. Es sei erschreckend, dass die ausländerfeindlichen Rufe von der Tanzmenge “einfach angenommen werden” und keiner ein Problem mit den Rufen zu haben schien.
Hillary Clinton Calls Out Elon Musk for Threatening to ‘Rape’ Taylor Swift
In a new interview, Clinton ripped into Trump’s “alter ego” Elon Musk for offering to forcibly “impregnate” Swift. As a listener, you could tell host Kara Swisher got excited when Hillary Clinton brought up Elon Musk’s unhinged attack on Taylor Swift during the latest episode of her podcast On. “Please comment on that,” Swisher implored Clinton after she mentioned that Donald Trump “had his alter ego Elon Musk say something really rotten and creepy about” Swift following her big endorsement of Kamala Harris. “Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,” Musk tweeted on debate night last week. According to Clinton, Musk offering to forcibly “impregnate” Swift is “kind of another way of saying rape.” “I can’t understand why he says what he says,” Clinton added of Musk. “It just is beyond my imagination.” Whether it’s Trump or Musk or any other “so-called masters of the universe in the technology world,” she added, “misogyny is such a part of their worldview, and they gravitate toward toughness and brutality and machoism.”

Former U.S. attorney Rachael Rollins reportedly targeted by white supremacists for assassination – #terrorgram
Two people were arrested for allegedly leading an online group where race-based attacks were celebrated. Earlier this month the U.S. Department of Justice filed charges against two people for allegedly leading an online white supremacist network that encouraged members to commit violence in the interest of starting a race war. Former Massachusetts U.S. attorney Rachael Rollins was reportedly one of their targets. In a 15-count indictment, 34-year-old Dallas Humber and 37-year-old Matthew Allison were charged with soliciting hate crimes, soliciting the murder of federal officials, and conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. Humber is a resident of Elk Grove, California, while Allison lives in Boise, Idaho. Both were arrested on Sept. 6. “Today’s indictment charges the defendants with leading a transnational terrorist group dedicated to attacking America’s critical infrastructure, targeting a hit list of our country’s public officials, and carrying out deadly hate crimes — all in the name of violent white supremacist ideology,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement after the arrests. “Today’s arrests are a warning that committing hate-fueled crimes in the darkest corners of the internet will not hide you, and soliciting terrorist attacks from behind a screen will not protect you. The United States Department of Justice will find you, and we will hold you accountable.” The two allegedly led a network known as “The Terrorgram Collective,” which operated on the digital messaging platform Telegram. The details of their alleged actions are contained in a 37-page indictment filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. As part of their efforts to incite violence, Humber and Allison allegedly helped compile a hit list of “high–value” targets for assassination. The identities of the officials on this list were redacted from the indictment before it was unsealed. But The Boston Globe reportedly viewed unredacted images of the Terrorgram posts that list Rollins’s name and address, along with a racial slur. After serving as Suffolk district attorney from 2019 to 2022, Rollins became the first Black woman to serve as U.S. attorney for Massachusetts. Rollins resigned in May 2023 after a series of alleged ethical violations came to light.

#Falkirk neo-Nazi Alan Edward convicted on #terrorism charge
A neo-Nazi who amassed a huge weapons stash at his home in Falkirk has been found guilty of a number of crimes, including planning to commit an act of terrorism. Alan Edward, 54, was arrested in September 22 when police surrounded his house and broke down his front door. Officers found weapons including a crossbow, 14 knives, machetes, a tomahawk, a samurai sword, knuckledusters, a catapult, an extendable baton and a stun gun. Some of the weapons had Nazi and SS insignia, with police also finding an SS-style skull mask, goggles and a respirator, fighting gloves with hardened knuckles, pellets, ball bearings, and hunting tips for crossbow arrows. He was found guilty on Monday of charges under the terrorism act, as well as racism, anti-Semitism, holocaust denial and breach of the peace. Edward, who had nearly 28,000 social media followers, wrote “the quickest way to someone’s heart is with a high power 7.62mm round”. A document found on his computer referred to Norweigian neo-Nazi mass murderer Anders Breivik as “Saint Anders”. Prosecutor Paul Kearney KC said Edward was “a man who with clear neo-Nazi ideals – preparing for an act of terrorism which would include an ideologically-driven incident of serious violence”.

siehe auch: ‘Neo-Nazi’ with armoury at home plotted terrorist attack on LGBT people. A man found with an ‘armoury’ including a crossbow and 14 knives is facing jail after being found guilty of planning a terrorist attack on gay and transgender people. Alan Edward, 54, amassed a terrifying collection of weaponry at his home in Redding, Stirlingshire. Edward, described in court as having ‘a neo-Nazi outlook’, was arrested in 2022 when police surrounded and broke into his house. They found weapons and equipment including a crossbow with telescopic sights, 14 knives, some with Nazi and SS insignia, machetes, a tomahawk, a Samurai sword, knuckledusters, a catapult, an extendable baton and a stun gun. They also found an air pistol modelled on the ‘James Bond’ Walther PPK, goggles and a respirator, fighting gloves with specially-hardened knuckles, pellets, ball bearings, and hunting tips for crossbow arrows. Prosecutors said this amounted to ‘an armoury’. He was found to have discussed attacking gay people in a series of ‘incredibly sinister’ WhatsApp messages with an associate and promoted the proscribed extreme right wing group National Action online. Edward, who had nearly 28,000 followers on social media, denied the Holocaust, mocked the murder of George Floyd and railed against Jews, black people and gays. The High Court in Stirling heard that Edward possessed and expressed ‘a set of ideals with a neo-Nazi outlook, incorporating notions of white supremacy, the notion of racial purity of whites, racism, anti-semitism, and hatred of homosexuals and transgender people.’
