How Come Elon Musk is Automatically a Nazi, But Axel Rudakubana Definitely Isn’t a Terrorist?

How come Elon Musk is automatically a Nazi, but a man who possesses a terror training manual, creates stores of ricin, kills several people and pleads guilty to terror charges, is not a terrorist at all?

It was only a matter of hours following Donald Trump’s January 20th inauguration in Washington before he was being accused of openly consorting with neo-Nazis. The high-ranking Gauleiter in question was top SS-ilicon Valley slave-driver Elon Musk, who flashed a stiff, right-armed hand gesture to Trump voters following an impromptu speech. This was of such a comical appearance that, at home, many viewers immediately laughed “Ha ha, that looks like a Nazi salute!” The term “looks like”, though, is rather different to the term “is”.

Even the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an oft-paranoid US ‘anti-racist’ organisation well known for seeing antisemitism even where it palpably does not exist, told people to Keep Calm and Carry On:

“This gesture is not a Nazi salute. This is a socially awkward autistic man's wave to the crowd,” further explained US historian Aaron Astor.

Whilst I suppose it’s always possible Elon did deliberately ape the Nazis as a not-so-hidden but still highly deniable joke here, to say that he is literally one himself seems ridiculous. For his own part, Musk himself simply stated that “Frankly, they [my opponents] need better dirty tricks. The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired.” Not to everyone, Elon.

A commentator on Fox News who says that the Left and MSM know it’s all over, it’s all they’ve got, like a fat man on death row, what’s the point of dieting.

The simple fact that the left feel the need to put this forward as a serious piece of discussion shows that they are beaten. Its an enormous ‘mopping up’ exercise, but they are done.

Elon Musk – has a skin colour of the people the madleft consider to be “world poisoners”.
Axel Rudakubana – is a person of sacred skin colour

The Great Escape, did Prevent think they were automatically on the side of the guards?”

That got me thinking of a Top Gear episode in Germany when Clarkson asked…”When you watch a War film, what side are you on” LOL.

Pathetic Leftards desperately scraping the barrel and demonstrating just how lobotomized and idiotic they really are. The only way they can get any of their poisonous rhetoric to make sense is by denying reality. Facts are like kryptonite because basic data can easily contradict their bilge in one fell swoop, ergo highlighting their relentless bullshittery, so truth must be ignored at all costs. Who wants inconvenient truths when you’ve an agenda to push? Sadiq The Khant is a master of this art, but the examples are all over the shop.

From Germany, just another traitor in complete denial, but I think there’s a factory somewhere churning out these treacherous, delusional imbeciles. I suspect it’s in Brussels;

”German Green MP Katrin Göring-Eckardt often celebrates changing demographics in Germany, despite years of terror and soaring crime.

“We are talking about what our country will look like in 20 or 30 years’ time. It will become younger. How great is that? How long have we been talking about demographics? It will become more colorful. How wonderful that is?”

Germany has been hit with a wave of terror attacks in recent months featuring foreigners, including the most recent one in Aschaffenburg, which saw… Read more »

Mea culpa. I am showing extremist traits as outlined above, all the way from Shakespeare, through Tolkien, The Great Escape et al. I even hide my identity behind a nom de plume. I am unrepentant.

What are these space cadets smoking? That’s what I’d like to know. How does one manage to go through a single day ignoring the many contradictory facts that surround them which cancel out their viewpoint easily, whilst doubling down on their completely fictional inner narrative that has no basis in truth? It’s like a form of self-hypnosis, surely? Is it not just similar to being radicalized or belonging to a cult?

The mental gymnastics is astonishing. Crazy to think that people take this man seriously.”

The Uniparties have to keep the B word out of the media at all costs. So they are blaming Amazon for selling the knife and EM for everything else.
The B word involves the videos that Axel followed and would upset every decent person in the Country.

In disclosures strangely pushed down the TV news agenda by virtue of their coincidentally and unavoidably being made on the very same date as Donald Trump’s inauguration over in America…

If you were the suspicious kind you would wonder if scheduling the trial, abbreviated by a handy guilty plea, alongside another newsworthy event was not merely a coincidence but a stage managed ‘nothing to see here’ trial.

But then you would have to ask yourself ‘What is being covered up?’. Several other mysterious news non-events make me wonder if people are being leaned upon to prevent (no pun intended) embarrassing disclosures. Perhaps Prevent are merely scapegoats in this particular case?

The trials of the Labour councillor (now on bail) who is alleged to have incited murder,and the alleged attempted murderer of an Army Colonel in Rochester were scheduled for the same day,but unaccountably delayed.
2TK team working hard.

Reportedly there was some link between the murderer’s father and 2TK.

Perhaps he bought him a dress or something.

Ah, but those are three right-armed and one left-armed right sort of sincere, compassionate and deeply principled salute, whereas nasty evil far-right Mr Musket’s wrong sort of projected right arm clearly belongs held aloft at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Got it? Under no circumstance mention The War, Midnight Rallies or Hemingway’s Farewell to Arms.
