Stewart Rhodes, founder and leader of the Oath Keepers, has been found guilty of seditious conspiracy, a crime carries a maximum sentence of 20. The Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol was the culmination of months of false claims about election fraud, including a litany recited by then-President Donald Trump in a speech shortly after the attack. The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election.
After the Capitol riot, conspiracy theorists began suggesting that antifa activists or federal agents dressed as Trump supporters carried out the attacks. As of December, about 1,240 people had been arrested in connection with the attack, accused of crimes ranging from trespassing to seditious conspiracy, a felony. More than 350 leading members of the far-right gang known as the Proud Boys are facing federal conspiracy charges in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Federal President Donald Trump has been charged with plotting to overturn his 2020 election defeat. He is accused of four counts including conspiracy to defraud the US. By excusing former President Donald Trump of responsibility, minimizing the mob’s violence, and casting the rioters as martyrs, falsehoods about the George Floyd protests have been fueled.
Conspiration theories link the different layers of actors in the August riots, with the populist right chanting “stop the” and riots breaking out across the UK after misinformation spread online that a Muslim asylum seeker was the suspect in the fatal stabbing of three. Further unrest is expected, and extremists are reported to be broadening their targets to include immigration lawyers and charities.

Can someone explain to me how someone falsely saying that the attacker in Southport was Muslim caused someone to attack Muslims? The leap is bizarre. When I hear someone who is Muslim or Jewish or Christian did something bad, I never thought to go around like a nutter attacking random people from the same faith. Not that spreading false news is ok, but seriously wondering how anyone could leap to attacking entire mosques based on one attacker
This is why: Nigel Farage, The Daily Mail, The Sun, The Daily Express, the Torygraph, unregulated social media, the Tories, Boris Johnson, Lizz Truss, Question Time, and, of course, Brexit. Immigration could have been better controlled when in the EU. It could have been controlled when outside the EU, but remaining in the single market. The Tories and the right-wing engineered what the UK is today for their own ends. It didn’t have to be this way!
