Background: the Irish government decided to resettle a few hundred “asylum seekers” in this small town, but the locals didn’t want any part of it.
Needless to say, a bunch of antifa types and journalists [lots of overlap] converged on the scene to break up the protest, because antifa is all about mostly peaceful protesting, you know.
“Wait a minute, Kim,” you may say, “how can you say there’s overlap between antifa thugs and the media?”
Ummm well, there’s this:
A small group of men arrived in the afternoon of Saturday April 6th to the old Crown Paints Factory in Coolock which is being picketed by locals opposing the plantation of up to 1000 asylum seekers there. They arrived to counterprotest and take footage.
According to video and our sources, the men were told to leave as they allegedly posed a risk to the women and children at the protest.
When they wouldn’t move on, they were apprehended by the locals, had their flags seized, and forced to vacate the area.
You say: “All well and good; but what’s that got to do with that ‘overlap’ you spoke about?”
Here we go:
Some of the protestors dropped their mobile phones, unlocked, at the scene, along with other belongings such as driver’s licenses and UK identification.
The protestors reviewed the content of the phones to delete any invasive content that had been recorded.
On one phone, which seems to belong to a mainstream journalist, would appear to show a concerning level of cooperation between various media sources, NGO workers, and prominent antifa operatives in both Ireland and the UK.
Wow: terrorsymps among the media; who’d a thunk it?
Yeah, I can’t wait for The Glorious Day either.
