Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Fraud investigator fired for being non-Muslim and probing crimes committed by Muslims

Aug 27, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Since the British political and media establishment sees the global jihad and Sharia oppression solely in racial terms, the official line is that Mark Edmunds was fired for being “white” while investigating crimes committed by “Asians,” but if the “Asians” in question had been Hindus, he never would have been fired. He was fired because in Britain today, Muslims, not “Asians,” are a protected class who have special privileges above the law. As a once-great nation continues in its death throes.

“Fraud investigator ‘was sacked for being white and probing crimes committed by Asians at East London council,'” by Connor Boyd and Mario Ledwith, Daily Mail, August 23, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

An anti-fraud investigator claims he was sacked by a council because he is white and the subjects of his inquiries were Asian.

Mark Edmunds, 55, is suing for £529,000 in a race and sex discrimination case against the scandal-hit London borough of Tower Hamlets….

Britain’s first Muslim mayor, Lutfur Rahman, had won control of Tower Hamlets in October 2010 but was removed by a court for rigging his 2014 re-election.

In 2018, the Met police said it had not found enough evidence to charge anyone after a £1.7million year-long inquiry into alleged fraud during the mayoral election.

When a BBC Panorama investigation raised serious concerns about fraud in the borough, Mr Edmunds worked on a review of the youth service, according to The Times. The review found that Mr Rahman had used youth grants to bribe voters.

Twelve senior Asian employees were dismissed as a result of Mr Edmunds’ investigations.

He claims that following his review, he was followed by three Asian men in a car allegedly driven by an ex-employee who had been dismissed as a result of his findings.

And he also claims his investigatory role was downgraded by two female managers in a bid to eventually fire him.

Mr Edmunds says he was removed from his £63,000-a-year job last year because he was ‘a white man investigating a service predominantly staffed by Bangladeshi employees where the allegations of corruption were predominantly against Bangladeshi employees’.

‘The threats and intimidation were very real and serious given the history of many of those I was investigating (ie ex-gang members and drug dealers), his witness statement says.

‘Additionally, while conducting investigations I was regularly accused of being a racist and a bully, when all I was doing was my job, in an attempt to intimidate me and derail the investigation process.’

Tower Hamlets removed Mr Edmunds from the case. He claims they did so without investigating the ‘false and defamatory allegation’ of racism against him because of the colour of his skin.

A union official, in an email seen by The Times, said it would be discriminatory for Mr Edmunds as a ‘white male’ to get a senior role rather than more experienced ethnic minority employees.

The investigator cites this as evidence of discrimination against him….

Counsel for Tower Hamlets challenged the accuracy of his allegations and interpretation of events….

    If fraud is not kept the rightful province of Moslems, then nothing is. Fraud is baked into the belief system, right down to its taqquiya. These people are always working the angle, first for money then for sex then for the glory of Islam. Fraud is of a piece with the religion of peace, so to speak.

      Yes–there is nothing so Islamic as fraud–save perhaps for murderous violence.

          Grimly true, APF–but characterizing Islam as a “religion of peace” may be the biggest fraud of all.

    UK: Fraud investigator fired for being non-Muslim and probing crimes committed by Muslims
    ……………………

    Is there anything intrinsic in being Muslim or non-Muslim about fraud?

    One would not think so–but clearly these Muslims expect their coreligionists to give them a pass when the fraud is against the “filthy Infidels”–and they are probably right.

    satan the devil “keeps transforming himself into an angel of light.” This is fraud committed by the chief adversary of the True God, the One that “cannot lie.”

    satan tells lies, commits fraud, appears as an angel…all to deceive humans and lead them away from the Truth about God and His will.

    Fraud is a form of deceit, lies told to gain an upper hand or to get away with other crimes. Is it any wonder that satan’s children would engage in this evil activity when he does so on such a large scale?

    “A union official, in an email seen by The Times, said it would be discriminatory for Mr Edmunds as a ‘white male’ to get a senior role rather than more experienced ethnic minority employees.”

    Curious turn of words. I understood public service jobs were supposed to be awarded on merit. More experience means more time on the job, not more competent.
    1) Who is the union official, and is he an “Asian”?
    2) The only reference to “senior” is in reference to the 12 people dismissed. Is Mr. Edmunds really in a “senior role”?
    3) Whether Mr. Edmunds obtained his position through (alleged) discrimination is irrelevant to whether there was fraud committed.
    4) Whoever is in charge at the union would do well to investigate the person, who wrote the email, for placing the union in a bad light for making such a silly statement.

    The world is getting soooo crazy!

    Every time I open a magazine or something from some media source, ‘race’ is the issue of the day. In a thousand different ways, they want to make whites feel guilty for something they didn’t do. All races have committed sins and crimes against others in general, and each individual has sinned. There is no ‘one’ race that is ‘more guilty.’ But that is the narrative that they are pushing. In a nutshell; they hate us, and they want us dead. And some even go so far as to say that without mincing words.

    Then there is all the transgender nonsense exploding everywhere. The days of innocent Mayberry, normalcy, and the like have all been banned and outlawed as ‘racist’ and ‘bigoted.’ Welcome to Orwellville!

    Censorship and big tech. Over on infowars is an article about more conservative websites getting banned, with no explanation even given. I am aware of many who fear that they will be next. Then the news item about China’s ‘social credit score’ coming to silicon valley so that they can implement the same thing here. Coming soon to a city near you and implemented globally. It talks about how people get banned and discriminated against with no explanation, are ruled out of certain job positions, schools, international travel, etc. It is very nazi like in that way. And censorship is just the beginning. You can imagine what the PC rules will be by now, right?

    The world is literally morphing into the end times Orwellian tyranny by all of these means. And then I saw some recent videos interviewing types like Snowden who reveal the threat to democracy and the extent of the surveillance that goes on domestically, (because of domestic terrorism of course). Nothing is private anymore really. There was another video about artificial intelligence and the globalists plans to sculpt society. They control the narrative of the media and don’t allow for any dissenting alternative views that counter their scripted narrative, the PC version that suits their agendas. Thus they successfully shut down all debate. Their positions are so absurd that they could not hold water, so they have to shout everyone down with slander like ‘racist,’ ‘bigot,’ ‘homophobe,’ ‘islamophobe,’ ‘hater,’ etc. This we know well. It is so that they can control society by psychological manipulation, so that in the end they all hate Trump and every white is a ‘racist’ ‘white nationalist,’ and every conservative is a ‘bigot.’ They push their emotional buttons and off they go, all in arms against ‘right wing radicals, extremists, conservatives,’ etc. And then all they need is a movie like ‘the hunt’. It’s all being orchestrated, artificially manufactured, all these shootings and racial incidents, etc. Now there is all this tension out there. I knew it but they confirmed it. He talked about artificial intelligence starting with gadgets that people become addicted to, as stage one. Then they want to put it on you, not hand held anymore. Then the skin tattoos that are electronic, and then the chips and things like that that they want to implant in you. Then they can control you like a robot. No one will be able to buy and sell without this and the Bible talks about that. Some people are already using them, but the global tyranny will make it mandatory. And it will all converge, all of your information and credit scores and medical records and be implanted as an ID in you. And if you don’t agree with their PC BS, good luck with that social credit score. Their way to sell this to you will be that you will have special powers and be ‘super human’ (I’ve seen the super hero meme pushed on kids a lot lately too, including in churches). It has echoes of the garden of Eden “and you will be like God…”. In reality you become a slave to a new master.
    And we see people addicted to ipads all over the landscape. The other day I was among a group sitting down and each one was on their ipad except me. This is typical now. It’s like the stepford wives for crying out loud! Everything is technology now. An app for this, a text for that, downloading, paying, doing everything via the smartphone! It’s getting so impersonal and non human. You are just lost in a jungle of city buildings and technological functions, everyone isolated from the others. And this is the future and it will only get worse. Who wants to live like that?! I don’t want to live that way! It’s depressing enough now! Gone are the days of innocent Saturday afternoons on the porch swing talking to neighbors walking by, enjoying the serenity of nature, fresh lemonade stands, and looking forward to fellowship on Sunday morning, without smartphones!!!

    This is not the kind of world I would have wanted to bring children into!
    And all the natural disasters, things are getting ruined for good, like the fires in the Amazon and elsewhere. Of course the world will end soon anyway and it will all be destroyed, what’s left of it.

      Hey Lydia, I hate to tell you this but the Amazon fires crap is a lie. You did strike a chord with me however. This world has changed, it ain’t the same any more. But, hang on, one big, three day power disruption in any large high rise city, and you will get to see a real life “Day of the Dead” show. All of our lives are so dependent on a circuit breaker, and nobody knows and everybody expects.

      Lydia Church,

      A very long post, but you made some good points. You’re certainly right about race, all races have done some very good things-and some very bad things. The Caucasian race is certainly not “more guilty” than any other race.

      The transgender thing seems to be the new “in” thing. And the far left is pushing the stuff on elementary school kids! Truth of the matter is, real no kidding transgender is rare indeed. Yes, there are some adults that may fit the medical criterion, but it is extremely rare-and they should be treated fairly.

      Speaking of Mayberry, I actually grew up in a town in the late 50s early 60s that was quite similar. I had a wonderful childhood and wonderful family. I never knew how lucky I was.

      You certainly right about censorship and big tech. These corporations are using biased editing and should not have the luxury of not being considered publishers. The Trump administration needs to take this on.

      Orwellian tyranny is certainly taking over the UK, and there is every indication that the country is finished. United States will continue to fight to preserve its First Amendment. But you are correct, the United States is at a crossroads, but I feel that we will prevail.

      I think that all the things that have happened since Pres. Trump got elected president were all really there, but just under the surface. It just got brought out after the election.

      Technology is not all good or all bad it just depends on how it is used. That being said, I still long for the days when you went to a travel agent to get your plane tickets. A very pleasant experience. Looked at travel folders, discussed your itinerary, walked out with a real airline ticket. At the airport, before deregulation, prices were higher but the security was minimal, passengers were treated with dignity and respect, the airline stewardesses were very pretty and friendly, always get a full meal, and you could smoke after dessert.

      We are definitely living in a different world. Some things better, most things worse.

      “And all the natural disasters, things are getting ruined for good, like the fires in the Amazon and elsewhere.”

      You can check for yourself here:

      https://www.globalfiredata.org/forecast.html#totals

      That site uses NASA MODIS data, and it is updated daily. You can look at individual regions of the Amazon (the link I provided shows the totals). Placing the cursor over the graph will show the data at that point. On the first/last day of each month it compares from 2003 to 2019, on all other days it’s just 2016-2019. While 2019 is a bit high, it’s not even close to be a record level.

      10 or so years ago, the fires were worse (or better, if you happen to like fires). No one cared because the President, Lula, was was a leftist.

    If what this man is claiming is true, it is a terrible situation. They’ll end up with only Muslims investigating their fellow Muslims in the UK, which seems more and more divided. And the Muslims will let their fellow Muslims off. After all, Muslims committing fraud against the infidels would be perfectly acceptable to the Muslim mentality. And I think I’ve heard in the past that the Muslims also seem to want to have their separate Shariah law to live under. This is a very bad development for the UK. That country does sometimes seem to have gone a hell of a long way down the path to surrender to the Muslims. Here’s hoping they can turn things around.

      Well, we’re talking about the Islamic Republic of Tower Hamlets here – the Acid-Attack Capital of the West and home the notorious Shamima Begum, where Central Government had to take control after the UK’s ‘first muslim Mayor’ was indicted for gross election fraud, the Metropolitan Police banned a British citizen (Tommy Robinson) in his own country because he would ‘upset the locals’, C of E vicars have been known to be beaten up because local thugs thought their ancient parish churches should be mosques, and you daren’t go out in the public street with bottle of beer or ‘indiscreet clothing’ (if you’re female) within 100 yards of their all-too-numerous mosques or else you’ll be approached by one of their patrols. And they’re so up their own lumbar tuberosities that they proudly demanded to rename a new local Overground station ‘Banglatown’ when the line re-opened (happily it’s still ‘Shoreditch High Street’ but you still might need your passport).

We are now well and truly the land of the Muslim Mafia and it’s no use hoping for an Eliot Ness to come riding in his squad car to sort things out because they’ve already got City Hall stitched up – ask Donald Trump, he knows all about the ‘loser’, and the woodwork over here is infested with a lot more of them.

    London is a lost city and should be duly treated by the rest of Britain as such.

    The question to be asked is why there are so many employees of the social services in the UK that are from visible minority communities.

    It appears that social services, being the easiest of government departments to use to obtain tax money, has been targeted by minorities for minorities.

    The word is out in third world countries that western countries are an easy way to have a government fund you and your many wives and children for life, and all you have to do is get immigrant or refugee status. Which has been made simple by the west.

    Many from the third world see the west and its social service structure as their ticket to relative comfort and financial security, and they are aided and abetted by their fellow travellers who have gained positions within the social services network.

    Heaven help those in the UK population who attempt to bring some light on this situation of fraudulent theft of UK taxpayers money.
