In a series of posts on X, Elon Musk has been calling attention to a years-long scandal in Britain that was hushed up for years and is still receiving insufficient attention from British authorities: the phenomenon of rape gangs. These gangs have victimized tens of thousands of British girls, and quite likely many more than that. Yet for decades, authorities have been slow to altogether inactive in moving against them, and have occasionally even punished their victims and rewarded the perpetrators. The reason for this lies in the perpetrators’ identity and motivating ideology, which few dare to face.
In a Friday report on Musk’s calls for action on this, Fox News stated that “the U.K. has for years been dealing with the revelation that a number of grooming gangs, often consisting of men of South Asian or British Pakistani heritage, exploited children for decades across the north of England in cities and towns including Rochdale, Telford, Manchester, and Rotherham.” That is true, as far as it goes. It even accounts for a great deal of the official reticence in dealing with this problem: leftist British authorities were terrified of the likelihood that if they moved decisively against the rape gangs, they’d be tarred as “racist.”
In a 2014 report on rape gang activity in one city alone, Rotherham, investigators found that the gangs victimized 1,400 British children there between 1997 and 2013, and authorities were extremely slow to act. The report noted that “several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.” This is the suicide of a nation mired in leftism.
It was the same story in another city, Telford, where a review established what was true all over the country: the perps were “Asian” (the British euphemism for “Pakistani Muslim”) and authorities were worried that an energetic prosecution “had the potential to start a ‘race riot.’”
Yes, and worse. Noticing the obvious in Britain has been career suicide for years. Back in 2017, Sarah Champion, a Labour MP from Rotherham and Shadow Secretary of State for Women and Equalities, wrote: “Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls.” For stating that obvious fact, Labour (which is now in power) expelled her from the Shadow Cabinet, and she faced a firestorm of criticism.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
