Multiculturalism and the UK riots
The murder of three little girls at a school in Southport, in a stabbing attack by the British-born son of Rwandan immigrants which left several others injured, detonated the beginning of some of the most serious rioting seen in Britain for years. Inflamed by false accounts spread on social media that the attacker was a Syrian Muslim asylum-seeker, violent mobs in Southport rioted, attacked a local mosque and left more than 50 police officers injured.
Clashes then ensued across the country, with anti-immigrant mobs attacking mosques and trying to set fire to a hostel for asylum-seekers. Muslim mobs sought out white people to attack shouting “Allahu Akbar” clashing with anti-Muslim rioters. Anti racist protesters came together, creating much bigger rallies than the right wing. They claimed victory in driving the ‘far right’ off the streets, with chants like ‘Nazi scum off our streets’ and ‘There are many more of us than there are of you’.
Writing about this unrest, Journalist Melanie Phillips wrote:
This is the result of years of ignoring the incendiary twin developments of mass immigration and progressive Islamisation. This is a tinderbox that has been under construction for years by successive administrations, starting with Tony Blair’s government which set out to transform the country into a multicultural society through mass immigration.

Multiculturalism is not the template for a tolerant society. Tolerance of other cultures and ethnicities should be a given in any civilised country. Multiculturalism, by contrast, is a doctrine which says all cultures must be deemed to have values that are no better or worse than any other. Multiculturalism therefore makes it impossible for a western society to require new arrivals to conform to its precepts such as equality for women, freedom of speech and tolerance of minorities.
For years, some of us warned that the wilful destruction of British and western culture, the deliberate concealment of what was happening and the denigration and harassment of anyone who objected would not only destroy social cohesion but risked a violent backlash from neo-Nazis, thugs and agitators of various stripes (and the rise of “populist” politicians) alongside ordinary people who had simply had enough. That’s what we’re now seeing playing out on the streets of Britain.
The issue of Muslim antisemitism, at eye-watering levels but already hard to discuss without being smeared as an “Islamophobe”, will become unmentionable. With the media and other liberals in sanctimonious support, Muslims will increasingly wrap themselves in the mantle of victimhood and insist upon draconian moves against “Islamophobia”. This will lead to an increasing crackdown on anyone trying to draw attention to these issues, and will be used by the Starmer government as a useful weapon to silence its political foes.
Neo-fascists and other thugs and agitators may be piggy-backing on such tensions; but this social disaster now under way is owned by the west’s entitled liberals, whose arrogant disdain for the culture they have so wilfully ruined knows no bounds.
I did a talk on this in which I used some of this material and made these added points – available on https://rumble.com/LftLD by clicking on the image below:
From our point of view the problem of multiculturalism is its assumption that all faiths / all gods are equal. If you say yours is the truth, that Jesus meant it when He said I am the Way, the Truth and the Life and no one comes to the Father but by Me (John 14.6), you are going against the flow. The anti-racist movement is largely in the hands of the liberal left which aims at equality and demands that we treat all cultures, faiths and lifestyles as equally valid. It is also linked up with the Muslims especially over Israel and Gaza and as such is very much anti Israel and has become Antisemitic too.
Radical Islamists and radical leftists come together to fight against far right and those who oppose mass migration (and Zionists) but they each have their own goals, which are completely opposed to each other. They are using the current unrest to push us in an antichrist and anti Zionist direction. Ultimately the Muslims are not at all into multi-culturalism, but want the domination of Islam over other faiths and cultures. The far left want us to be subject to their agenda which is atheistic and opposes our views on issues like sexual morality, the centrality of marriage and the family. History shows us that wherever Marxist / Communist states are set up like the Soviet Union and China, Christians are suppressed and persecuted. Likewise any country that is ruled by radical Islam.
The problem with the equality agenda is that not all faiths and life styles are equal. There is truth which is absolute and comes from God. Jesus told Pilate at His trial, For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice. John 18.37. There is also non truth or lies. Jesus said of the devil: He is a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. John 8.44. As believers in Jesus we stand on the truth that He has revealed to us and against the lies of the devil.
Authentic Christianity is opposed to both the Islamist and the far left and the far right agenda. The Labour government is in debt to both the far-left and the Islamists and wants their votes. It labels the rioters as ‘far-right.’ Some of them may be, but there are a growing number of people, who do not take part in riots, but who are saying ‘enough is enough’ when it comes to mass migration and the imposition of multiculturalism. You cannot keep bringing in a population the size of Nottingham every year, with different values and culture from our own and hope to integrate them and provide for them without doing damage to the people who have lived here for generations.
The Labour government has to recognise that there is a growing resentment to the preferential treatment being given to new immigrants over the settled population, particularly amongst the people who are its natural constituents, the white working class in northern towns.
Many people, especially the English, see our culture and way of life being constantly put down. This culture, backed by a respect for Christianity and the Bible has to take second place to the cultures of other lands, which have no traditional association with these islands. We see a constant downgrading of British history and culture, with left wing dogmas being imposed upon us, especially upon our youth, including Critical Race Theory and the Cancel Culture. This has become part of the Marxist agenda to change the values of our society and impose a new form of totalitarianism which seeks to control what we can say and think and believe. It is already in place in the universities which have become centres of indoctrination rather than education. This way of thinking has now been established over the much of the media (the BBC in particular), the education system, the judiciary and the police, the civil service and much of the established church and charities.
Now that Labour has a huge majority in parliament, it looks like there is no way out of this process, for at least 5 years or longer, by which time it may be over for people like us to express our opinions and spread our faith. People who don’t want more immigration and multiculturalism are feeling alienated and resentful. They see so much of our culture, cities and way of life being trashed, but have no power to do anything about it. The result will be the increase in violence and civil strife. Unless the government takes steps to address the root cause of the problem, there will be no end to it.
The three most likely outcomes are:
- Increase in violence and conflict within our society
- Authoritarian government taking control
- The removal of freedom of speech and freedom of religion
All this ties in with biblical prophecy of the end times. Wickedness / lawlessness will increase (Matthew 24.12) as perilous times come (2 Timothy 3) leading to the time of the great tribulation (Matthew 24.21) and the coming Antichrist / Beast rule (Revelation 13). But don’t panic. Jesus is coming for His own (1 Thessalonians 4-5) and to judge the world in righteousness and set up His Millennial kingdom (Revelation 20) as the kingdoms of the world become the kingdom of our God and of His Messiah / Christ. Revelation 11.15. To be followed by the eternal state in which the redeemed of all ages will dwell with God in heaven. Revelation 21. So lift up your heads for your redemption draws near. Luke 21.
IT meltdown
The perils of a cashless society were exposed recently as a technology blunder caused by a bug affecting Microsoft Windows triggered ‘the world’s biggest IT meltdown’ on July 19th. In what was dubbed a ‘digital pandemic’, a glitch in a software update sparked global chaos as computers crashed in shops, banks and hospitals. TV programmes were knocked off air, stock markets stopped trading, transport ground to a halt, operations were cancelled in hospitals, and supermarkets were unable to take card payments, meaning customers who no longer carry cash could not buy food.
This havoc showed the dangers of a cashless world, with almost half of Britons now leaving the house with only their phones as a means of payment. Experts said it was a wake-up call because, if hostile nations ever inflict a well-planned IT assault, the consequences could be far worse.
‘With this ever-more digital society, we are reliant on it all working. But we have no control over it. We are putting all our eggs in one basket. The future security of the nation is in danger.’
In Daniel 12.4 we read:
But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.
Today we see this happening with a huge advance in knowledge and a society that is increasingly dependent on technology. This has brought progress and advances in wealth for many and an abundance of goods available to people which our forefathers could only have dreamed about. But the dependence on machines, computers, mobile phones and so on makes us vulnerable to errors and bad actors doing cyber crime.
If a total crash of the Internet and computer systems were to happen, big cities would soon collapse into chaos. It could be like the collapse of everything as in the short story by E M Forster, ‘The Machine Stops’. This was published in 1928 about a future society that becomes dependent on The Machine to function. Then ‘the machine stops’ and everything collapses.
So we need to prevent this from happening. One way may be to create better control systems, using Artificial Intelligence (AI), quantum computers and ever more complex technology. The danger with that is that the AI goes rogue, starts to act independently and take control as in the film ‘I Robot’. Or a powerful world leader takes over the system and brings in a control mechanism along the lines of the Revelation 13 666 system.
Openly Satanic images in Paris Olympic ceremonies
The director of the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics was Thomas Jolly, a homosexual comedian and theatre director, who said that he wanted to ensure his celebrations show that there “is room for everyone in Paris”. The opening ceremony will be a success only if “if everyone feels represented in it”, he added.
One group who did not feel represented are Christians who saw their faith ridiculed in a blasphemous scene depicting a mockery of the Last Supper, with drag queens, sexual overtones and a celebration of homosexuality. Christian commentators saw a strong antichrist theme in the presentation, related to the book of Revelation.
It began with a white horse emerging from under the Eifel Tower, leading out the nations with their teams and their flags, which can be compared to the rider on the white horse, the antichrist going out conquering and to conquer. The teams then got into boats with a visual representation of the horse going before them on the River Seine.
Along the way an image flashed up ‘We stand for peace’, the false peace that comes before the wars of Revelation. This was followed by John Lennon’s song ‘Imagine’ (which also featured in the London Olympic ceremony). In this song we are invited to imagine there is no heaven, no hell, no religion and no countries in the world. Instead a one world ‘brotherhood of man’. Or a one world system under the antichrist.
The Last Supper scene featured a table, as in Leonardo da Vinci’s famous picture of the Lord and His disciples, but with a drag queen in the centre with something like a halo round her head. Several depraved figures surrounded her including a woman with a beard.
Then a naked blue man emerged representing a Greek god and began dancing in a very suggestive way. The figure represented Dionysus (also known as Bacchus), the Greek god of wine-making, fertility, festivity, insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy and theatre. In mythology he freed his followers from self-conscious fear and care, and helped them cast off the restraint of morality in orgies known as ‘bacchanalia’. Those who partake of his mysteries are believed to become possessed and empowered by the god himself. He has power to destroy those who resist.
The presentation closed with an orchestra and choir singing in front of the head of a large bull. The sacred bull has many connections to paganism, notably the Golden Calf incident in the Bible. It is also connected to Baal worship and the Greek God Zeus who according to Greek mythology turned himself into a bull and then captured a beautiful maiden, Europa on the shores of Phoenicia carried her away to Crete where he raped her and gave her name to the continent of Europe. Outside the European Parliament building in Strasbourg as well as in the European District of Brussels there are statues of ‘the woman riding the bull’ (or the beast), see Revelation 17.
The closing Olympic Ceremony began with a Pentagram unfolding through the light and a representation of the five continents of the world in a metallic design on the ground with a sun symbol in the middle. A Luciferian type figure then descended from above bringing light to dark world. What followed represented a transformation of the old world into the New Age of Aquarius or in biblical terms the coming of the Antichrist.
The nations of earth were seen plunging into terrible times, as the old world plunged into chaos. The earth was crying out for a saviour, and then a great light shone out, as a golden figure came to save the earth. He came through the centre of the pentagram, adorned in gold bringing false enlightenment. He looked like an extra-terrestrial or a demon, a golden voyager coming down from space. The false messiah was coming down to earth, bringing in a new age of Lucifer and order out of chaos.
Then the map of the world lit up and flashed, rippling through the continents bringing a new creation, a new genesis. The image of the Greek goddess Nike arose, symbolising the victory of the new messiah over the old world order. There were horses running around and a dove appeared, which according to the BBC commentator meant being born again. As the new world rises from the ashes, the Phoenix appeared, the mythical symbol of death and resurrection in paganism.
Then grey alien looking figures appear and bow down to the Luciferian figure who is in control of them. He commands them to rebuild the world from the ashes of the old one. Circles like wheels arise out of the ashes of the old world, representing the five rings of the Olympic symbol. Alien figures are going round one of the wheels, like hamsters or slaves on a treadmill. A singer in the midst of the wheels sings the Ode to Apollo, a song found in the Delphic Oracle in ancient Greece, set to music by the French composer Faure. Then all the rings come together as a symbol of the world united in a false Luciferian experience, with the Lucifer figure on top of it all reminiscent of the new world under the Antichrist.
Apollo, the Greek sun god, is also connected to Apollyon in Revelation 9.1-11:
Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. … 11 And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
Not good for France
This celebration of Antichrist and mockery of Jesus Christ at the Olympic ceremony was not a good idea for France.
Guy Millière writes about France’s Political Chaos for the Gatestone Institute. He says:
Rebellious France is not only a far-left party, it is also a party tinged with anti-Semitism and counts supporters of Islamism and terrorist groups such as Hamas in its ranks.
France: Political Chaos :: Gatestone Institute
The left-wing coalition has clearly been gaining ground. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the leader of Rebellious France, to emphasize that he accepts anti-Semitism and supports Hamas and Islamism, gave a speech about his party’s results while standing on stage next to an Islamist pro-Hamas activist, newly-elected Member of European Parliament Rima Hassan. Hassan wore a keffiyeh and displayed on her clothes a small Palestinian flag.
An unprecedented situation in France took shape: all the candidates from other parties were asked to withdraw from the election and support the candidate of another party better placed to defeat the National Rally candidate, even if the better-placed candidate belonged to a party that they totally rejected.
The French mainstream media contributed to the operation and fuelled fear of “fascism”. They accepted the propaganda. Rappers, who are widely listened to in Islamic no-go zones, released a song that calls for the murder of Jordan Bardella, the president of the National Rally, the rape of party leader Marine Le Pen, and the elimination of “Zionist Jews”. The song was described by some journalists as a courageous “song of resistance” and was broadcast over the radio. One of the lines from the song goes: “From the Jordan to the Seine, Palestine will be free” – a call not just for the destruction of Israel, but for the submission of France to Sharia law and Islam.
The “left”, with 184 seats, became the largest group in the National Assembly; Rebellious France, its most powerful component. The party’s leaders present themselves as the spearhead of the “anti-fascist struggle”; claim that they must govern the country, and that to remove them would be to make “concessions to fascism”. They do not bother to hide their anti-Semitism and their support for Hamas and Islam.
France has become almost ungovernable. No political party has a majority. No party can form a government coalition without having to renounce the most essential part of its program.
The power acquired by Rebellious France means that a government which does not have its approval cannot claim to govern. In addition, no new parliamentary elections can be organized for a year.
Polls have shown for months that a majority of French people would like a firm fight against crime, a stop to illegal immigration, and an end to the Islamization of the country. All these points were on the program of the National Rally.
Every year, on average, 500,000 new immigrants, mainly from the Muslim world, settle in France. Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants reside in the country. Few are expelled. Islamic no-go zones are growing.
On the evening of July 7, Rebellious France organized a large rally in Paris’s Place de la République. Palestinian flags were everywhere; French flags almost nowhere. Speakers presented hateful slogans against the National Rally, Israel, Jewish journalists, and the police. Demonstrators burned cars and trash cans, and destroyed stores.
Mocking God and Jesus Christ at the Olympics was not a good idea for France. God is not mocked and it would be better if the French sought God for deliverance rather than insulting Him.
