Hoax Confirmed: The Self-Painted Swastikas of Schenectady (2017)
Casting our minds back to 2017; let’s review yet another fake ‘anti-Semitic hate crime’ that has been confirmed as such. In this case it occurred in Schenectady New York in February 2017 and the usual wittering about ‘rising anti-Semitism’ and demands for ‘hate crime legislation’ vomited forth from the mainstream media.
Until… well… the police arrested the jewish victim – one Andrew King – for faking said ‘anti-Semitic hate crime’. (1)
As Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith wrote in ‘The Independent’ at the time:
‘A Jewish man has been accused of spray-painting swastikas on his own house after he reported the incident to police as a hate crime.
Andrew King claimed he found two swastikas on his home in Schenectady, New York, last month.
Speaking to local newspaper The Daily Gazette at the time, he said “a vein of fear went right through me” when he saw the graffiti. “All that history attached to that Nazi symbol”.
But Mr King was this week arrested and charged with falsely reporting an incident and police allege he painted the swastikas himself, CBS6Albany reports.
He is being held on a $500 (£400) bail.
During his arraignment hearing Mr King alleged he had suffered injuries from the police when he was arrested. City police spokesman Sgt Matthew Dearing told reporters: “He had no altercation with us in our interaction with him at all,” Times Union reported.
Julia Simone, the public defender representing Mr King, told the judge he has been diagnosed as schizophrenic and receives assistance from the government for a physical disability.
Local Rabbi Matt Cutler of the Congregation Gates of Heaven told Buzzfeed News that while Mr King claims to be Jewish, he had not successfully converted to the religion.
“This has brought a sense of shame to the community,” he told the news site. “We knew there was something peculiar about the vandalism,” he said, adding that Mr King was not welcome at the orthodox synagogue over problems with previous behaviour.’ (2)
Note how jews – notably Rabbi Matt Cutler – have suddenly distanced themselves from King and also claimed ‘he isn’t jewish’ but rather ‘was in the process of converting’. For our purposes it is clear that King believed - and still believes – himself to be jewish and that Rabbi Cutler was more than willing to admit King into his orthodox congregation but was embarrassed at King getting caught with his trousers around his ankles and desperately distanced himself from King’s actions by claiming ‘he wasn’t really’ a jew and also asserting all of a sudden that King had also committed previous infractions which had made King ‘unwelcome’ at Congregation Gates of Heaven.
The reality of course is that King believes himself to be jewish and I have no evidence to contradict that statement as Rabbi Cutler himself provides none. So this is therefore yet another example of an ‘anti-Semitic hate crime’ faked by a jew for unknown but surmisable reasons.
