I think you're thinking what I'm thinking. What the hell is this? Well, that right there, that is the poster child for the Western left. Transgressive, anti-Christian, anti-Western, anti-law and order nuttery or lack of nuttery. That human right there, that's the mascot. It's like the gritty of queers for Palestine.

So, in our new movie run, Headfight Infidels, now recommended by President Trump on Truth Social, by the way, we posit that the Western left is basically suicidal. We could have called the movie Useful Idiots. Import the radical Muslims and then get killed by them because you were in solidarity with their hatred of the West. We are now watching that play out in real time in the UK. That crazy person standing atop the NYPD car is apparently a great stand-in for the UK government. So, Over the weekend, according to the UK Sun, five men were arrested over a suspected terrorist plot to bomb a Royal Air Force base with residents banned from returning to their homes overnight.

How did a local farmer help foil the suspected RAF Fairford terror plot?

The army's specialist bomb disposal team was scrambled to near RAF Fairford with a police robot seen probing three suspicious vans. Viable incendiary devices and chemicals were found inside. They had to evacuate basically the entire local population, about 85 people. The air base is home to the U.S. 501st Combat Support Wing Headquarters and the 420th Air Base Squadron. So again, the base is basically a U.S. Air Force base. It's an RAF base, but it's really U.S. assets that are over there. How did this happen? Well, according to the UK Telegraph, it wasn't that the UK was all over these potential terrorists and then they caught them in the act. Instead, a local farmer saw a bunch of terrorists doing terrorist things.

According to the UK Telegraph, driving home from a party in the early hours, a local farmer came across three seemingly abandoned white vans blocking a quiet country road. Confused, she turned her car around. As she did so, she saw a group of masked men in balaclavas scattering into the trees and across the fields toward RAF Fairford, located only a few hundred meters away. She drove up and called the cops. When she did, she also messaged her local WhatsApp group and warned neighbors to lock their doors. Less than 25 minutes later, the men had been arrested. She said some of them ran into the field. Some of them turned to run toward the airbase. We realized this was something pretty serious. We knew the airbase had a credible threat of a terrorist attack before last night.

So as soon as I saw them, I was worried. I mean, you don't see masked men running around at half one in the morning in the countryside near a secure airbase and not have concerns. So they have been detained on suspicion of terrorism. Now, we do have some information as to who these people are. Again, they were likely, it appears, getting ready to attack the Air Force Base because these are assets that have been used by the United States in the campaign against Iran. Naturally, we are going to be treated to the it's all a mystery. We have no idea who did this. Now we're going to be treated to the spectacle of the entire UK government telling us that the motive remains mysterious, even though it is probably the least mysterious motive of all time.

Not a ton of reasons. Somebody is trying to blow up an RAF base.
