    That would get you arrested in the UK. But on a serious note the different cultures have not actually been such a big issue for the UK. The problem is the huge influx of 2nd and 3rd world aggressive and sexually frustrated men from cultures that are hostile to this country, they hate this country, and are sexually predatory towards underage girls. There's an arrogance that they own the place, alpha dogs as soon as they arrive. The problem is barbarism. Plenty of foreign cultures have settled in the UK over the last few decades without bringing the insane level of barbarism we're seeing now. Skin colour has nothing to do with it. You'll find people of every colour standing together against this cultural invasion.

    However, steer clear of anything overtly political, or potentially divisive. Nothing crude or offensive either. Keep to those memes that comment on trends, lifestyle, and society in general, whether positive or negative, humorous or insightful: something that speaks to you that you want to share.
    These are trying times. They are tough, they are exhausting - a bit like during Covid. They test our true humanity. Don't let them take it. How we act, how we respond, shows us who we really are. Let's not get embroiled in the hatred, division, and anger these bastards deliberately sow. Rise above it. Don't take the bait by playing into their hands. Stay cool. Stay classy. Stay true to yourself.

    Time to tone things down.

    As it relates to what the globalists are doing to destroy Europe, Canada, and especially the UK, I don't see where it is time to tone things down at all - it is time to call out what is happening and hope the citizens can rise up and do something to save their cities and cultures.

    Memes further the awakening to many truths, and challenge one's belief systems, again in my view, and this thread has long since moved past it's founding statement in primary purpose and usage.

    The original purpose statement for this meme thread is weak sauce for these times, in my view.

    Over the past few months, I’ve been working closely with our partners in the UK, alongside @POTUS and @VP, to ensure Americans' private data remains private and our Constitutional rights and civil liberties are protected.

    As a result, the UK has agreed to drop its mandate for Apple to provide a "back door" that would have enabled access to the protected encrypted data of American citizens and encroached on our civil liberties.

    They're Pakistani Muslim immigrants. And they're raping young girls at a far higher rate than any other group in the country. No way around it.
    Mike,I looked into this story a bit and it is mostly centered around the city of Rotherham in South Yorkshire, over 1400 cases over 20 years. It seems this scandal traces back to Arshid "Mad Ash" Hussain and his brothers, who owned taxi cab companies in Britain, and they had access to the victims because they were transporting them. And since Pakistanis often end up as taxi drivers when they immigrate to the Britain and the U.S. Being immigrants, it makes them easy targets for their employers to enroll them into a crime program. They are told "Well, you are in the West now where they have lost their sexual morals and of course Brits want to see their daughters raped, so you are just helping." or they are told they if they don't cooperate they will be reported and deported back to Pakistan - just another example of how well mind control and black mail work together. This is often why crime networks are often built within an ethnic group located in a larger society. We have seen Italian, Irish, Jewish, Russian and other mafias here in New York.

    Yes, they're Pakistani Muslim immigrants.



    They're Pakistani M.U.S.L.I.M immigrants.


    They're Pakistani MUSLIM immigrants.


    Let's say that loud and clear!


    But are they really all Muslims? Pakistan is majority Muslim but there are other significant minorities there. Do we really know for a fact that all the cab drivers involved were Muslim. Shouldn't we also be concerned about Pakistani HINDU immigrants and Pakistani CHRISTIAN immigrants too???


    Imagine if the news media covered the story this way: Jewish Jeffrey Epstein and his Jewish girlfriend Ghislaine managed to get lots of money from Jewish billionaires Lex Wexner and Leon Black and invited notable Jews like Woody Allen and Alan Dershowitz to his little St. James island where they traffick goyish (non-Jew) girl. (And by the way, St. James, the brother of Jesus, was also a Jew - seen the hidden connection .) - Would that really say anything about Judiasm or Jews that was meaningful or relevant? If the news stories were covered this way, would if be fair to young Jewish guys who were trying get a prom date when all his possible dates are concerned about being sex trafficked?

    Quote No way around it.
    Yeah, I think there is. It is too easy to see the world as black and white. It is too easy to just blame one group of people, and then see all the people of that group as evil.

    Quote It should be a big topic here
    Well then start a thread. Prove me wrong.

    Chris I've broken your brain by stating one indisputable fact that doesn't fit neatly into your Jew hating ideology. Just one. And it had nothing at all to do with Gaza even.

    You could have just acknowledged the obvious and moved on, or not said anything at all. But instead you've allowed your basic programming (Jews=bad, Muslims=good) and wounded pride from being a little embarrassed in this thread to talk you into doubling down on this silly take. None of this had anything to do with the Jews, but you had to turn it into a competition between Pakistani rape in the UK and whatever it is you imagine the Jews are doing in the rest of the world.

    I don't have to start a thread to prove Pakistani Muslim men are raping young white girls at a massively disproportional rate in the UK. It's already been proven. You should start a thread and attempt to disprove it. But judging by your comments here, I think you are far too ideologically addled to accept the truth. I imagine your next argument might be something like: How do you know they're really Pakistani Muslims? Maybe they're really just Jews in fancy makeup? (all surrounded by a bunch of unhinged dancing emojis)

    My suggestion: go look into the Pakistani rape gangs earnestly. Then start your thread from a position of knowledge and good faith. We all get it wrong sometimes, and we're all emotionally attached to our worldviews, so I think it would be cathartic for everyone.

    Wiser words never spoken Mark. How do we stay out of negativity when surrounded by senseless, and ultimately treasonous, violence, death, and destruction. "Divide and conquer" and "order out of chaos." Who runs Hollywood? I read a book titled, Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon, about Laurel Canyon in the hills above Hollywood and how there was a massive and off limits movie studio tucked away up there run by the CIA. Add German doctors and scientists smuggled in at the end of WWII who started the CIA and that's some long years of programming and experimentation, programming division and fine-tuning disease. These are the guys ultimately responsible for the racial divide. They've bombed the hell out of the people they're now importing to the western world and we see the results. These immigrants are pawns on the chessboard not the hand that moves them. I’d like nothing more than to focus on the important stuff:



    But somebody needs to tell the ptb.

    I tend to agree. It’s getting to the pointy end, why does a needle on a robotic mosquito come to mind? I think it’s clear I didn’t post the hateful material I was accused of posting. It’s difficult not to become angry at present, I struggle with it everyday, but my intentions are never to demean nor to recklessly or spitefully offend. I post in the spirit of the relentless pursuit of truth, the spirit that brought us all here in the first place.

    I am not usually impressed with memes. There is the occasional one here and there that is creative enough to be worth the limited time perusing but nothing really strikes me as a high iq contribution. If it makes me laugh then - good work. But suffice to say the quality of memes is generally lacking.

    But when I think of comedic or roasting value akin to the 197o's when everyone was made fun of, no one was safe - we used to laugh and laugh. No one really cared - until they did. Some funny things were not funny anymore because of hurt feelings. Skin was thicker back then and laughter more hearty.

    I think memes are the last opportunity to poke fun at everyone or everything and now some people care to 'restrict' it or at the very least disapprove of it. There is a section of comedy from back then, labeled tasteless. Well some memes are indeed in this category but it is our last option at a time where no one and nothing is safe.

    Nothing is safe from the controllers and I haven't laughed at modern comedy in the same way I did growing up. And we shore could use some funny around from time to time. Hurt feelings be damned.

    I’ve got an idea from the wings:

    Memes are meant to challenge ideas, concepts and stereotypes, to name just a few reasons to post them.Please can we all get back to just laughing at them or choosing to look elsewhere. The thanks button is a helpful tool in this regard, find it funny then thank, don’t find it funny then don’t thank, find it offensive then move on and shrug it off.

    For all the censors out there, I’m just asking for a friend…….x…… N

    A few year ago, when many of us some of us were investigating Corey Goode, we uncovered a secret network of people working to promote Goode (actually, working to promote Baade ) and slander many kind and thoughtful people who were questioning the Goode narrative. The two main weapons of this group were: memes and doxxing. And the managed to do some really, really nasty damage to people, including one former Avalon moderator. (Wish I could say more on that situation, but perhaps the person who know more about this can). But my main point is that memes do communicate something at a deeper level, sometimes at level below rational thinking. It might be something pleasant, it might be something true, but it can also be something that communicates things that are untrue and/or unkind.

    I don't agree with you Nasu that memes really challenge - you often like memes or hate memes because of your pre-existing views. I don't know anyone who radically changed what they believed just because of a meme. It takes a lot more than a meme to change peoples thoughts. But they do convey information, and they do gradually and subtly affect people, often at an unconscious level - and slowly, through repetition, they do have an effect on people's consciousness.

    Quote The thanks button is a helpful tool in this regard, find it funny then thank, don’t find it funny then don’t thank, find it offensive then move on and shrug it off.
    Sometimes if you see real ugliness, cruelty, deceitfulness, you might decide to shrug it off and move on. Or you can stay and confront it. Is that a bad thing?

    Quote For all the censors out there, I’m just asking for a friend…….x…… N
    I don't see anyone else censoring here so I have to assume you are talking about my posts. I don't think I am asking for posts to be removed or for people to stop posting what they think. But I am critical of what is being said here, and in the case of memes, which can be ambiguous, looking for clarification so a critical discussion can be had, and if it can't, I don't see the sense of having a forum.

    The pen is mightier than the sword and memes are like grenades with random explosive power. Like a newspaper's political cartoon but in the hands of the great dirty unwashed. Meanwhile Ofcom tries to take on 4chan. Lets face it: 4chan is the maggot party at the end of the internet, who would condone that? Sounds like something that needs to be killed with fire. Just like this memes thread. This drama on our memes thread is like our own scaled down Ofcom vs 4chan drama. I'm rooting for 4chan on this one.

    This also qualifies as a response to your last post in The Great Quotes thread Kryztian.


    I took a night to sit on that one. Think the pieces of this puzzle are finally starting to come together. I’m trying to stay out of anger these days, which is what this whole thing is beginning to feel like, an anger test, because believe me, I’ve been tempted to fire off too. But a thought occurred to me this morning over the coffee, that you were triggered because you really believe in the Muslim people. That’s oddly admirable. I, too, have strong beliefs and convictions. I believe we’re getting a raw deal on both sides. Israel is without a doubt committing genocide in Gaza, AI wasn’t that good yet to produce all the video documentation. We see what the soldiers are capable of, doesn’t even seem possible for a human. But there’s a militant side to the Islamists too, most probably the orphans and survivors of villages and countries we (CIA, MI5/6, Mossad, military industrial complex) destroyed the world over. These are the folks that tried to do in Matthew’s friend, leaving him running for his life in terror. And it struck me in the “Turmoil in the British Isles” post that you weren’t making that distinction between what could be called native British muslims and the new boat arrivals. Not sure how you missed that one since you profess to be such a(n?) History afficionado, but alright, that helps it make more sense. Believe me when I say I have no ill will to the devoutly religious of any faith, as long as it’s a faith that sees the good in all races, colors, and creeds. Therefore, also believe that I have no ill will towards the Muslim race as a whole, I dated a girl from Pakistan for God’s sake, beautiful and wonderful people. So it takes a little of the sting out of your words, a little of the need for revenge and retaliation. I want people with strong beliefs on my side, not in opposition. This is the division they are creating, maybe there was a recent surge in the power grid the last few days? But the ad hominem attacks aren’t helping your case. They come wrapped in that same putrid invective of which you accuse me. Let’s stick to the subject at hand, not take a hand to the subject. In other words, if I offended you in any way, which I obviously did, show me where I came up short, demonstrate and explain your grievance in a calm and respectful manner, give me the chance to defend myself, and I’ll do my best to explain my reasoning as well. Because I hate to tell you, all is not fair in love and war. I understand I came up a little short on the Churchill quote, but it’s still widely used by many, so many, in fact, that it had to be fact-checked. See, there ya go, that was oddly complimental, emphasis on the mental! And, come on, posting an urban legend on the laugh thread. I wish it were true, but is that really the main focus when “You must laugh at least once a day?”

    So I’m trying to stay out of anger these days and pay heed to the recent wise words of Mark (Star Mariner), the founder of this thread,

    Quote Posted by Mark (Star Mariner) (here)
    These are trying times. They are tough, they are exhausting - a bit like during Covid. They test our true humanity. Don't let them take it. How we act, how we respond, shows us who we really are. Let's not get embroiled in the hatred, division, and anger these bastards deliberately sow. Rise above it. Don't take the bait by playing into their hands. Stay cool. Stay classy. Stay true to yourself.
    Though you may not have liked the meme I posted, I was not guilty of your assertions, assumptions, and accusations. Let’s do the whole forum a favor and rise above it.

    p.s. This song came over the airwaves while I was writing this, felt oddly serendipitous...

    Christianity is apolitical but proselytizing; Judaism is sorta political but not proselytizing. What separates Islam is that it is both political and proselytizing.

    In other words it seeks to take everyone and everything over, and you will either convert or die. This is what history (and its own doctrines) tell us.

    I believe wholeheartedly in judging people as individuals and not as members of groups, and I strive (and sometimes fail) to do that. Individually I'm willing to embrace Muslims as friends and brothers, but as a group they cannot be trusted or allowed to thrive in western spaces. They will destroy them.

    Guys, let’s cut the back-and-forth and stick to memes. Personal attacks and religious debates don’t belong here. At the end of the day, Muslims, Jews, and Christians all come from the “same source”, yet people get trapped arguing over who’s ‘right’ because miraculously they were born into the right religion! The truth is, no Creator ever dropped religion onto earth; people did, to keep us divided and distracted. So instead of wasting energy pointing fingers, let’s just enjoy the humor and keep the memes flowing.
