Media blackout on marches happening today

orangesnapples · 22/08/2020 15:23

Is it me or is it not very strange that 1000s of people currently marching though our major cities today and no media coverage?

They are marching for our children's rights, to awareness to trafficking etc

Does the lack of coverage just play into the hands of those that accuse the media of being part of the problem.

They are currently peacefully marching to bring awareness because there sadly is hardly any awareness of trafficking, most people have the completely strep typical idea of what trafficking is, that is all some world wide elite club.
But the sad truth it looks very different, and is probably happening in a home near you right now.

So why no coverage. My SM is flooded with 1000s I f people walking the streets of Liverpool, London etc.

I don't want to believe there is darkness in control of our media and what we see etc but honestly I can't think for the life of me why this isn't being covered.

According to the Mail on Sunday, who have photos, "And one man was found holding a flag promoting the Werwolf Resistance - an alleged Neo Nazi group in the UK which named themselves after a Nazi campaign during WWI. "

One of the central figures involved in this protest was the notorious fake whistleblower ex cop Jon Wedger, recently exposed as promoting a debunked SRA conspiracy by Private Eye magazine

Wedger is a dangerous man who is happy to use and exploilt vulnerable adults to promote his various deranged consparcy theories.

a video of him at the protest here

as you can see he is treated as a hero by various people involved in the protest and takes centre stage at one point

Wedger has his own money making enterprise "The Jon Wedger Foundation" which is neither a charity nor a company and keeps no financial records.

Thousands of pounds donated to his "foundation" is unaccounted for, save for £2,000 that was donated to Jayne Senior, a controversial figure who has faced much criticism of late.

twitter.com/jes123tia456/status/1028352834482434048

Jayne Senior and Sarah Champion have both been involved with and given credence to the debunked fantasist Esther Baker, a self proclaimed SRA survivor. Wedger's recent forays into being an "influencer" centre around promoting horrific 1st person testimonies of VIP paedophile rings and satanic ritual abuse described by mentally ill and otherwise vulnerable people.

Jayne Senior was criticised a recent independent investigation.

SElected snippets from a long The Yorkshire Post article state:

Rotherham grooming scandal whistleblower Jayne Senior “let down” now-adult survivors of child sexual exploitation (CSE) who sought her help through a publicly-funded charity she runs, a three-year £60,000 independent investigation has concluded.

Mrs Senior, a former youth worker who was awarded an MBE in June 2016 for her work in exposing the nature and extent of CSE in the South Yorkshire town and was elected as a Labour councillor earlier that year, has been strongly criticised in a 124-page report investigating allegations against her by 12 complainants.

The grievances centre around her conduct as the chief executive of an organisation called Swinton Lock Activity Centre, which provided support to CSE victims, among other services.

A copy of the report provided by one complainant to this newspaper said several complainants had alleged they had not given permission for details of their abuse to be included in Mrs Senior’s autobiography Broken and Betrayed: The true story of the Rotherham abuse scandal by the woman who fought to expose it.

The investigation, conducted by former interim strategic director of children’s services at Bradford Council Gladys Rhodes White and social work specialist Dr Donna Peach from the University of Salford, was ordered by Rotherham Council – which at the time was one of several organisations which provided funding to Swinton Lock – in August 2016 after complaints about Mrs Senior’s conduct were made to the authority by three people.

Their report has found no evidence Mrs Senior had made any inappropriate financial gain but concluded: “A key complaint from the survivors is that Mrs Senior has inappropriately shared information and misrepresented their stories and has personally benefited from doing so – on balance we partially upheld those allegations.

It added: “SLAC Trustees may wish to consider whether they believe Mrs Senior is able to consistently demonstrate the high levels of integrity and honesty expected by anyone employed to work with vulnerable people.”

www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/politics/rotherham-abuse-whistleblower-jayne-senior-let-down-victims-says-report-1752797

a second piece here reports on unprofessional and unboundaried behaviour by Senior, specifically in relation to recommending solicitors to survivors amongst other things.

www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/politics/compelling-evidence-presented-against-rotherham-whistleblower-jayne-senior-complaint-investigators-1752796

Wedger's links to Senior is interesting under the circumstances as the complaints against Senior are very similar to some of the complaints made against Wedger by various survivors.

The complaints are that Wedger has used and exploited vulnerable adults to generate revenue streams for himself and to gain clicks and likes on social media.

Wedger is also promoting a range of cheesy merchandise, mugs, T shitrs etc, emblazoned with "I Stand with Jon Wedger".

While Jayne Senior was at no time found to have financially exploited vulnerable service users she did appropriate and distort their own personal stories and narratives without their consent to promote her "memoir" in which she portrays herself as a heroic figure.

In the last few hours videos of Weger's fantasies and lies about his time in the police and his disturbing interviews with vulnerable people have been uploaded by Qanon and Pizzagate promoters in the US, all of whom are promoting Wedger as a hero.

Genuine police whistleblower organisations have expressed concerns about Wedger and his claims,

This is a fascinating yet extremely disturbing situation.

hoodathunkit · 24/08/2020 00:04

Wedger has been working with Anna Brees and Sonia Poulton of late.

Brees has been pushing an anti-mask / "scamdemic" agenda.

He has also been involved with the Crossroads Women's Centre's various protests.

Another of his associates in Shaun Attwood who has been promoting David Icke, Pizzagate, Qanon SRA etc. of late

On 19th June Wedger uploaded a video titled "In Soho with former street worker exposing the vile child prostitution underbelly of London."

In this video Wedger introduces a woman called Nicky who used to be a “clipper” in Soho, London.

For readers unfamiliar with street terminology, a clipper is a woman who negotiates a price for sex, takes the money from the punter and then disappears. It also refers to women who pose as madams (female pimps / procurers) and lures men into “clip joints” which are basically fake brothels. Then either the punter goes into the “brothel”, and pays for the sexual services of a women who never turns up or enters a cheap nightclub with young women sitting around, is persuaded to buy drinks (cheap Perry or the like) and is then extorted with menaces to pay huge amounts for an inflated drinks bill for Champagne. Whatever version the punter ends up in he ends up significantly out of pocket and usually too embarrassed to go to the police.

As an aside, clippers are hated by sex workers. Sex workers sometimes suffer violent and sexual assaults from aggrieved punters on a misogynistic quest to punish street working women for the humiliation and losses incurred after an encounter with a clipper. Clip joints can even result appalling crimes as happened in the case of the murder of Camille Gordon
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8175510.stm

I digress, back to Wedger and Nicky - in the video they walk the streets of Soho together and identify various locations for prostitution, crack smoking etc. Nikki is a former crack addict.

Before long Wedger starts opining about his usual subject - satanic ritual abuse.

@15.20 Nicky thanks JW for letting her know about the SRA and says she had never heard of it in all her years working on the streets.

There is a lot in the video and I have limited time, however the important thing to notice is that Nicky is a vulnerable adult, a former clipper and crack addict who Wedger knew from his days working in Clubs and Vice.

This video, in which all kinds of fantasitcal claims are made, generated lots of hits for Wedger and so he invited Nicky back on 2 occasions since.

The really interesting thing is that Nicky is now presented as an authority on satanic ritual abuse, even though she clearly said in the first interview that she knew nothing of SRA before she met Wedger.

In a subsequent video (I have to listen to them again to find the exact location) Nicky describes being mentally unwell so she is definitely a vulnerable adult.

This strikes me as highly inappropriate for a set up in which a whistle-blowing cop is exploiting a vulnerable former addict who knew for many years previously in a professional capacity who also has mental health problems.

Astute viewers will notice that in the 3rd video Nicky speaks very quickly in a manner psychiatrists would call "pressure of speech".

Here it is

Viewers may also notice Nicky laughing and giggling which seems very strange given that she is meant to be reporting horrific child abuse. I will post a screenshot from the original, untrimmed video that may explain this unusual behaviour when I have a moment (probably tomorrow).

So since meeting Wedger in his new capacity of SRA promoting whistleblower Nicky has become an internet sensation promoting SRA, Qanon, Pizzagate and the Hampstead SRA hoax, subjects she knew nothing about before getting involved with Wedger.

I very much doubt that Nicky's forays into lurid accounts of tortured and canniblaised infants, blood drinking and satanic betsiality are good for her mental health.

Wedger isn't worried though.

He's setting her up with her own podcast.

Jon Wedger and Qanon promoter Charlie Ward demonstrate their uttler lack of concern for sexually exploited children
(warning very disturbing)

user1468867871 · 24/08/2020 01:04

One of the marches was to Buckingham Palace and they demonstrated outside the gates against paedophilia and child trafficking. Not conspiracy theorists but connected to Epstein and Prince Andrew. There is a blackout on MSM and anyone demonstrating is condemned to be a conspiracy theorist. Make of that what you will. All the info can be found on Twitter if you choose to look and make up your own mind. You might also want to visit ex BBC journo @annabrees who has set up alternative media platform as she is fed up with lack of bias.

SheepandCow · 24/08/2020 01:09

Prince Andrew isn't at Buckingham Palace though so what was the point in marching there? Aside from getting in some exercise from the marching.

You might also want to visit ex BBC journo @annabrees* who has set up alternative media platform as she is fed up with lack of bias.*

Anyone wanting to educate themselves about where the satanic panic meets the no-mask movement really should check out Brees's videos.

Brees is a collaborator with the odious Jon Wedger. Some online sources claim that Brees and Wedger are in a romantic relationship. I have no idea whether this is true.

Please find the below video of Brees and Wedger together, attempting to present an impression of serious concern about child abuse coverups. and rattling the collection tin to try to get gullible persons to donate to Wedger's dubious "foundation". Anyone with any knowledge of the satanic panic and history of false allegations of organised child abuse in the UK will be familiar with the “whistleblowers” praised by Brees and Wedger.

Wedger claims to be in regular phone contact with the disgraced cop Mike Veale.

He gives a shout out to UK Column, a conspiracy theory oriented “news" site that appears to be an extension of RT. It publishes “news” about how the Salisbury poisonings are the responsibility of the UK government,

He gives a shout out to the comedically inept, highly aggressive, paranoid and arguably deluded “film producer” Bill Maloney.

She's fed up with the lack of bias? You aren't painting this woman in a good light here Confused
hoodathunkit · 24/08/2020 01:38

This is possibly Brees's most interesting video upload, it features the fascinating opinons of Anna Zimmerman, 50, Therapist, Ludlow, Shropshire. 2.8.20

My ears always prick up when Wedger and his associates get involved with therapists so I gave this video a careful look.

I would recommend that readers also check this video out

A brief summary is that we are all being lied to and manipulated by the powers that be. We are all weak minded sheep. Lockdown was unnecessary, masks - not necessary. Wake up sheeple!

Then the therapist enthuses about Adolf Hitler's opinions in Mein Kampf. Really she does.

Her views are very much appreciated by the antisemites posting in the comments section

So I took a look at her online presence and unsurprisingly she specialises in a quack therapy called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

at the bottom of the page is an article titled "The madness of covid 19" that might be interesting
archive.is/gZ6Dq

Also interesting is a piece titled "In praise of whistleblowers" in which the following text appears

"I have just been reading an article about the recent leaking of an official report from the German Interior ministry (see www.strategic-culture(dot) org/news/2020/05/29/german-official-leaks-report-denouncing-corona-as-global-false-alarm/ ). The report was written by a scientific panel staffed by medics from the most prestigious German universities. They have concluded that COVID-19 is no worse than any other seasonal virus, and that the vast majority of deaths have been amongst frail people who were already at risk from any of the other 150-odd viruses currently in circulation. Their belief is that the "manifold and heavy consequences of the Corona measures” far outweigh any risk from COVID-19, and that the lockdown policies have been an irrational disaster that will stunt millions of lives and livelihoods for a long time to come.”

(source - don't click on links within this link)
archive.is/RAcS8#selection-915.122-917.119

I became curious about the linked “official report” and discovered that the website concerned, the Strategic Culture Foundation, is widely described as a state controlled Russian misinformation website.

Bearing all this in mind I don't know whether the therapist's T shirt is meant to be ironic or postmodern or just hiding in plain sight

PhilSwagielka · 24/08/2020 03:02

Pizzagate is conspiracy bollocks.

As I said, trafficking is a very real thing but it’s not like these idiots imagine it to be. And surprise surprise, another conspiracy theorist turns out to be antisemitic. We should charge these people rent for the space we take up in their heads.

famousforwrongreason · 24/08/2020 03:42

@Hingeandbracket

The BBC seems to have an aversion to reporting almost any march or demo. I am not sure why.
Weird isn't it? Especially after their conscious decision over decades not to expose Savile. I think partly its because of the connections with the movement which are quite big on high level conspiracy stuff which sadly detracts from the importance of the message.
famousforwrongreason · 24/08/2020 03:47

I saw a small child yesterday wearing a big plaque around his neck. the picture was of a scared child with an adult hand over the child's mouth and some blurb about sex trafficking.
My kids were horrified, cut lots of awkward but important questions.
I understand that the mum feels passionate about tbvos but personally found of inappropriate to dress a small boy with such a dark message.
I do care and I'd love to learn more about keeping our kids safe but the activism needs to be clear with actual work and out es not just horns blaring, hashttagging and plaquards. I don't want to offend anyone but it feels very extinction rebellion.
I hugely love their ethos but I feel like their sometimes sinister creativity confuses very important aims and objectives

famousforwrongreason · 24/08/2020 03:49

Also a lot of the #saveourchildren rhetoric is saying that trump is the only one who is trying to fix this and that this is why he's so hated.
I feel like the agenda is too unclear and a bit fucked.

famousforwrongreason · 24/08/2020 04:04

@bobbiester

I think the decline in air travel during lockdown is to blame for the rise in conspiracy theory beliefs.

With fewer flights, governments can't spread mind control chemicals so widely through aircraft "chemtrails". So the sHeePLe are finally waking up!!!GrinGrinGrin

Lol. I'm slightly perturbed that lots of my lovely friends want to wAke UP sHeEple. I find it a bit depressing that people who I usually respect and enjoy chatting to are now really fixated on the covid lie
famousforwrongreason · 24/08/2020 04:09

@PhilSwagielka

Also, given his remarks about women, and given how many trafficking victims are women and girls, again - why on earth would Trump be the poster boy for an anti-trafficking movement?
None of it makes any sense. One of my friends yesterday told me that trump is a good guy and the besmirching of him in the medie iis because he's so close to uncovering the truth. Now I honestly believe that the child trafficking is happening and I also believe that people have been killed for getting to close to truths but I can't reconcile this with what I know about him
famousforwrongreason · 24/08/2020 04:29

[quote lookatallthosechickens]@Clive222 I 100% don't believe a word of what you're saying and no one else should either. There are not thousands of child slaves in the UK and I don't know what your motive is for saying there are - maybe you're mentally ill or maybe it's darker than that, I don't know - but I hope you get the help you need.[/quote]
I've worked in and around the criminal justice system and various jobs supporting young people.
This definitely happens. There is a specific police department just for this horrific area.

famousforwrongreason · 24/08/2020 04:34

@BananaPop2020

The local “paedophile hunter” group kept trying to hijack/promote this on FB, so that in itself was quite telling.
Yeah here too. Reckon vigilantism is the next logical move. I've seen several various posts that are asking for laptops so that they can do some baiting to expose the pedophiles. My police colleagues say that they can make a real pigs ear of the police's work and the UK database type groups attract some really nasty people. Some who get involved in the stings are also of very dubious backgrounds, sometimes to do the with kids
user1468867871 · 24/08/2020 08:34

Certain posters on here, are determined to discount what OP says and it looks as though they have spent many Very long hours delivering the readers of mumsnet proof that there is no blackout and that protesters are far right, anti semetic, conspiracy theorists. This alone makes me Suspicious and want to investigate what is going on further. What a very determined and aggressive way to try and stop us all from finding out if there is anything in this. I will find out for myself thank you, you have raised my suspicions.

Lindy2 · 24/08/2020 08:42

I'm not interested in any group that is stupid enough to hold large marches right now. Even those with a worthwhile message would not get my support for acting irresponsibly.

knittingaddict · 24/08/2020 08:48

Oh dear user1468867871 looks like you're primed for red pilling. Do you always think that when a majority of people say that something obviously ridiculous is indeed ridiculous then it must be a conspiracy? Is the earth flat?

user1468867871 · 24/08/2020 09:16

PhilSwagielka · 24/08/2020 09:27

Whatever. It always comes back to Jews and if you don’t want to believe me, that’s your problem. We always get blamed for everything. All this stuff about global elites and the Illuminati is a dogwhistle.

Someone made a thread on here about Eastern European beggars. I’m sure plenty of them have been trafficked too but I don’t see QAnon protesting for their human rights, or women being sent to work in brothels and nail bars.
