Paul MacInnes – The Guardian July 24, 2020
Port Vale striker Tom Pope (right).
Port Vale’s Tom Pope watched “hundreds” of YouTube conspiracy theories before making antisemitic remarks that have led to a six-game ban by the Football Association.
Pope was also fined £3,500 after being found guilty of an “aggravated” breach of the FA’s regulation on abusive speech.
In February, Pope was accused of breaching rule E3 after claiming on Twitter that the Rothschilds would take charge of all the world’s banks in the event of a third world war. An aggravated breach occurs when remarks “include, whether explicit or implied, reference to race and/or religion and/or ethnic origin”.
Pope defended himself, saying he was not antisemitic and that any offence caused by his remarks had been “not intentional”. The FA regulatory commission found against him, however, and argued that Pope had come to believe a number of antisemitic theories after having watched substantial numbers of conspiracy videos on YouTube
n its written reasons for finding against Pope, the commission observed: “When challenged as to the context in which he wrote [the message] and why he wrote it he explained that he had watched hundreds of conspiracy theory videos about the 9/11 attacks.
“He explained that he found the videos convincing in predicting the invasions of four countries – Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Sudan. He believed, based on those videos, that the Rothschild banking business had funded the invasions of those eight countries so as to be able to take over their banks.”
Although Pope made no mention of the Rothschild’s religion in his messages, the commission found that “the ordinary reasonable person knows very well that the Rothschild family have been used for centuries as a synecdoche for the Jewish people – maligning the family in discourse in order to malign all Jewish people”.
In summing up its decision, the commission said it found that Pope still did not accept the offensive content of what he had written. “It is of particular concern that even now Mr Pope does not acknowledge the antisemitic message that is conveyed by the Statement”, it said. “It is also of concern that he has not seriously questioned the conspiracy theories that he has allowed to inform his views.”
Pope has received two previous bans from the FA for his Twitter use and made headlines after mocking the Manchester City defender John Stones online.
Under FA rules there is no minimum punishment for any abusive speech made by a player off the pitch, though the minimum ban for on-the-pitch abuse is six matches. This season the Leeds goalkeeper Kiko Casilla was banned for eight matches after being found guilty of racially abusing the Charlton forward Jonathan Leko during a match.
Methinks the hebrews doth protest too much
There is a tipping point [and we may have passed it] where too many spurious claims of anti-semitism begin to educate people about the serious threat to liberty posed by Zionism.
The truth is no defence…..
If only the other Pope was real the West would have a chance of surviving.
Unfortunately there is very good evidence that the current Pope is an IMPOSTER.
Note how the noose around free speech is gradually tightening……incrementally….almost slow enough to not notice it…….
You could speculate that they are choosing people to target on the basis of the publicity generated….since football is followed by so many people it would pay dividends to target a high profile player….put a scare into them.
After all there are dozens of websites which mention the Rothschilds central role in the New World Order
the Yiddish!
Is anybody surprised by the verdict
or are you all conscious of what is going on ??
He should thank the millions of white Allied morons who by obliterating pro-white fascist Germany in WWII, saved ‘western civilization’ & his democratic right to ‘free speech’.
People can offend Christians, blondes, Irish, Germans, Polls, any European race, as much as they want with impunity. But if they expose the truth about bankster jews they get busted.
Even when people say something completely innocent, if the BJs don’t like it, the people who said it get busted. Zionism trumps free speech every time.
strange the fa did not define the term anti- semitism. who are the semites? a closer research will establish the truth. this decision is politically motivated and the truth will out.
as an example – there is ample evidence that the israelis were involved in the twin towers destruction. five of their citizens were arrested on evidence and politically released to avoid the truth being revealed. did the fa take this into consideration or were they too scared to admit the truth of it.
The Jew is hated worldwide!
Im will be printing these following words on paper and puttihg them up were i live here its is.
The big question for jews is “WHY” … Why, did so many of the worlds countries (109) not want them in their country ?
That’s the 1 question jews never ask, talk about or try to resolve, they avoid this question like the plague and criticism of their nature is never accepted because its only considered anti semitic hate and they’ll always just jump straight to how “they’ve always been persecuted” for being jewish without providing any true reason or explanation
Why have 109 countries disliked jews what are the reason given in history ?
Why have so many countries thrown jews out, what was it about those jews they disliked ?
Why have jews been so disliked in so many places throughout history, more than others ?
Why does a jewish personality stand out for persecution, more than others ?
– There’s 1 common answer
The jews have always lived by feeding off others just like a parasite, and copy the Cuckoos natural actions of take control through deciept in a nest or country they settle in
No big deal here……..the Satanic Bolshevik Ashkenazi Khazars have totally controlled the UK for over 200 years.
