To maximize hoax remuneration, it helps to have a collection of favored identities. For example, Roda Osman presents herself as a black Muslim single mother. Warning: despite living in a society eager to believe them, sometimes even the most intersectionally oppressed get busted:

A Houston woman who claimed a man assaulted her with a brick has been accused of lying – and raking in $40,000 through a fraudulent GoFundMe campaign.

Roda Osman, 33, who earned the moniker ‘Brick Lady’ on social media, has been charged with felony theft by deception.

This wasn’t Roda’s first trip to the well. She pulled something similar in Minneapolis 3 years earlier:

That campaign was titled ‘Help Black Muslim Mother Pay Her Medical Bill’ and claimed a ‘young Black Muslim single mother’ was attacked by private security, leaving her with bruises, a black eye and injuries to her leg.

‘She needs an estimated $5K to pay for medical bills, legal fees and a new phone and more,’ the page read.

The Minneapolis Police Department said it had not received reports of Osman being assaulted in 2020. The last contact the department had with Osman was in 2012 for public lewdness and disorderly conduct.

What might have been a simple scam became a hate hoax when Houston police smelled a rat and Osman responded by implicating sceptics in her oppression:

In another video, after Houston Police had been investigating the alleged scam, Osman made an announcement with the caption, “Help me hold Houston police department accountable.” …

“They want to let all gendered oppressed people know, that if you ever speak out, you will be punished and you will be punished badly,” Osman said about others online who were calling out the allegedly fraudulent GoFundMe page.

In a society that rewards sniveling victims, people will achieve victimhood to snivel about by any means necessary.

Someone tried to burn down Martin Luther King Jr.’s childhood home. Anyone who can’t guess the race of the culprit has been living in a cave since the early Obama years:

Via Fox News:

The 26-year-old woman, whose name has not been released, is charged with criminal attempt to commit arson and criminal attempt to damage government property. She could also face federal charges in connection with the incident.

Atlanta police officers responded to Martin Luther King Jr.’s birth home shortly after 5:45 p.m. on Thursday following reports of vandalism. Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum told reporters that two tourists from Utah told officers they observed the woman dousing plants, the porch and the front door of the home with what smelled like gasoline before they intervened upon seeing her attempting to ignite a lighter.

As a rule, tourists from Utah should avoid authorities, lest they be thrown into solitary confinement on suspicion of being at the Capitol on January 6. But it’s good they stepped forward. If the home had burned and the arsonist had gotten away undetected, the Democrats/media would have gone into hyperdrive while pinning it on mythical white supremacists, so as to whip up another wave of Black Lives Matter riots in hopes of terrorizing voters into trying to placate them, a strategy that proved effective in 2020.

Too bad the suspect’s name hasn’t been released. Although her motive is unknown and she may only be psychotic, the incident would so certainly have been exploited like a hate hoax that she belongs on the list.

The need to drain the swamp has become urgent if we are to avoid succumbing to a USSR level of tyranny. Despite support from the Koch Brothers and GOP establishment types, Nikki Haley is not the one to do it — though she might at least provide some comic relief in her obsequious eagerness to pander to political correctness.

Among the most preposterous hate hoaxes yet was belligerent NASCAR BLM a-hole Bubba Wallace’s claim that the door pull in his garage was oppressing him because he thought it looked like a noose. Among the most preposterous responses to a hate hoax was Nikki Haley’s:

Haley and Wallace have in common a determination to eradicate the flag that for many generations has represented Southern heritage and culture.

Her knee-jerk reflex to back the phony liberal narrative by siding with Bubba Wallace types against normal Americans is a deal breaker, as is her enthusiasm for bestowing our last pennies upon the corrupt regime in Ukraine. If that’s not enough for you, watch this:

If you haven’t gotten your fill of her yet, visit Real Nikki Haley.

Even Nikki Haley is better than Democrats. That’s how bad today’s Democrats are.

The ultimate blasphemy against the moonbat religion is blackface, which harkens back to a more wholesome time, when Al Jolson was the most successful entertainer in America. The only people who have worn blackface in recent memory are prominent moonbats like Justin Trudeau, Jimmy Kimmel, and Joy Behar. This makes it hard for the liberal establishment to find sacrificial victims to immolate for this thoughtcrime. So they frame a little kid.

Shrieks the Deadspin headline (capitalization as in original):

The NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face, Native headdress

No matter how obsequiously you pander to woke bullies, it will never be enough. The NFL is so obnoxiously left-wing that I wouldn’t watch a game if you paid me to (see here, here, here, etc.). The endzones actually feature leftist slogans, like something out of the USSR. Yet Deadspin screams,

The answers to all of those questions lead back to the NFL. While it isn’t the league’s responsibility to stop racism and hate from being taught in the home, they are a league that has relentlessly participated in prejudice. If the NFL had outlawed the chop at Chiefs games and been more aggressive in changing the team’s name, then we wouldn’t be here.

The Chiefs banned Indian headdresses several years ago as part of the liberal campaign to delete references to Indians from American culture because “racism.” But the game was in Las Vegas.

The Deadspin piece features a picture of the little boy we are supposed to hate in profile, so as to trick readers into thinking he was wearing blackface. Actually, one side was black, the other red, apparently to signify that he is a Chiefs fan; that’s why he was wearing the headdress.

As Outkick notes and Deadspin knows,

Fans have used double face paint during games to support their teams since the inception of sports. It happens at every stadium, in support of every team.

Outkick also notes the glaringly obvious:

No one in their right mind could seriously argue the kid’s intent was malicious.

In contrast, the intent of Deadspin Author of Color Carron J. Phillips was plenty malicious. That’s why the race-baiting propagandist goes on the Hate Hoax List.

Given what they stoop to in order to generate propaganda for their fellow travelers to run with — including torturing and murdering children and their parents in front of each other, as in the October 7 operation — it should surprise no one that jihadists utilize the hate hoax stratagem.

This is sure to yank on heartstrings:

Nasty Jews! Now for the rest of the story:

Authorities in North Ridgeville, Ohio, arrested 20-year-old Hesham A. Ayyad on Tuesday and charged him for allegedly faking a hate crime attack last month.

According to Cleveland.com, On Oct. 22 Ayyad told the Cleveland chapter of the Islamic Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) that he was assaulted by someone in an SUV making “anti-Palestinian slurs.” However, investigators found his injuries were the result of a fight with his brother.

Not that CAIR would care. It exists to crybully and generate propaganda to advance the spread of Islamic domination.

On Oct. 23, CAIR issued a press release on the incident that said Ayyad was the victim of a “reported hit and run,” and said that “he was walking home from eating lunch when a car slowed down and rolled down the window. The driver of the car allegedly started yelling at him using anti-Palestinian statements like “Kill all Palestinians,” and “Long live Israel,” as he swerved his car to intimidate the victim. The driver then allegedly turned around and hit the man while shouting “DIE!”

If it’s too over the top to be true, that’s probably because it isn’t true — especially if the alleged victim is a member of a preferred victim group.

Hesham A. Ayyad and his brother Khalil A. Ayyad, 19, were both arrested on Tuesday. Hesham was charged with making false alarms, falsification, obstructing official business, domestic violence, and assault. Khalil was charged with domestic violence and assault.

After the truth came to light, CAIR propagandists profusely apologized and pulled the tweet you see above. Or maybe they didn’t.

Hate hoaxes are applied not only to drive an otherwise unsupportable narrative, but also to evade personal responsibility. From Texas:

Shelby Martinez, 30, was arrested on Saturday at her apartment complex where her son was injured and has been charged with making false statements to police, according to KFDX Wichita Falls.

Authorities say Martinez and the boy’s father, Thomas Gates, tried to cover up how their child received life-threatening injuries.

Their two-year-old son was allegedly run over by Gates when he was backing out with his vehicle, but the couple blamed it on an “unknown white couple,” according to police. Martinez and Gates are both black.

Blaming their own behavior and its consequences on Caucasians is not working out as well for Martinez and Gates as it does on the macro level. But at least the implied racial animus earns them a spot on the Hate Hoax List.

Texas has impeded Biden’s objective of displacing the American population with a gargantuan influx of illegal immigration from the Third World. But the Regime does not accept resistance passively. Texas defends the border with razor wire; the federal government cuts the wire to let invaders through. Texas places buoys in the Rio Grande to prevent illegal crossings; Democrats respond with a lawsuit and a hate hoax:

Nothing pulls on the heartstrings like white supremacists using chainsaw buoys to hack apart put-upon immigrants who only want to achieve a better life through intergenerational careers of voting for Democrats for a living.

Once again, their lies fail to pass the laugh test. Here’s what former US Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott has to say about the buoys:

“When I was Chief, USBP tested numerous variations of buoy barrier features to include what some are calling a ‘saw’ blade,” Scott said. “It is actually called a passive radial disc. It is an anti-climb deterrent and was tested by USBP in 2020 and determined to be passive and make climbers uncomfortable but would not break skin or injure a person.”

We would be well within our rights to defend the border with mines and machine guns. However,

“During testing, USBP personnel jumped on top of it from different platforms without issue. The teeth were designed to avoid injuring illegal aliens,” Scott said.

Liberals dishonestly blame the buoys for dead illegal aliens continuing to turn up in the river as they have for decades. If there were any serious indication that a drug trafficker, child sex slave trafficker, welfare colonist, or anyone else was killed by the buoys, believe me we would know about it.

Jason Aldean has taken a stand for community cohesion and basic decency. In response, the liberal establishment has been trying to destroy him. Ultra-woke CMT canceled his hit song “Try That in a Small Town,” which cultural gatekeepers denounced as racist because it sides with regular Americans against BLM/Antifa rioters. The media’s specialty is characterizing villains as heroes and vice versa on behalf of the leftist agenda, but Aldean is not an easy case, because no well-meaning person could oppose his viewpoint. One propagandist became so desperate to discredit his fan base that even as the country guffawed at Carlee Russell, she pulled off what looks like a hate hoax.

From Wisconsin:

A TMJ4 reporter was “left humiliated” while reporting from Country Thunder’s opening night in Twin Lakes Thursday after being yelled at and subjected to a racist slur.

Uncoincidentally, Jason Aldean played “Try That in a Small Town” at the Country Thunder festival, though not that same night.

Taylor Lumpkin, a Black multimedia journalist for WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) since 2020, tweeted Thursday night that “a guy ran up and yelled at me (unprovoked), and called me a N***** twice. No one helped. Everyone stared at me, and laughed.

“Do better people,” the tweet said.

The aptly named Lumpkin proved herself a true modern journalist by making herself the story. Her tweet has racked up 1.3 million views.

Naturally liberals are fawning self-righteously over how oppressed she is. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel squawks piously about the “core commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion” that likely put her in her job. She ought to set up a GoFundMe page.

Have a bucket handy as you brace for her follow-up:

Please. With apologies to talented black journalists who deserve their positions, everyone with access to a television who knows that blacks make up only 13% of the population also knows that the Powers That Be bend over backward to place them in front of cameras. Being a left-wing Woman of Color obviates the need for other qualifications, as Kamala Harris and Ketanji Brown Jackson comically confirm.

The improbable incident may earn Lumpkin a promotion, but it also earns her a spot on the Hate Hoax List.

Thanks to the eager gullibility of the liberal media, a hate hoax doesn’t have to pass the laugh test to fly — at least for a little while. Consider Carlee Russell:

She went missing on July 13 for two days, after what was revealed by police as a calm phone call to 911, about an unaccompanied male toddler on the side of the I-459 interstate. …

At 9.34pm, over an hour after she departed from work, footage shows her slowing down while flashing her hazards near the 11 mile marker on the interstate.

She then called 911 and told them there was ‘a male toddler wearing a diaper’ walking on the side of the interstate.

She proceeded to call her brother’s girlfriend who heard Ms Russell ask the ‘toddler’: ‘Are you okay?’, shortly after she screamed before the phone call ended.

Just like that, Miss Russell vanished. When she reappeared, she claimed to have been kidnapped:

In an interview with Hoover police, she said a man with orange hair came from the trees to check on the crying toddler, but then grabbed her, dragged her over the fence and into a car.

All white people are racist and bad, but those gingers are the worst.

No one else saw the toddler strolling for 600 yards along the busy interstate because evidently there was no toddler. Media hype could not keep the hoax from disintegrating. She appears to have lifted the plot for it from the movie Taken, which she had googled along with “amber alert,” “one way bus ticket from Birmingham to Nashville,” and “how to take money from a register without being caught” shortly before attempting to pull it off. Allegedly, she stole materials from her job at the Woodhouse Spa in Birmingham.

Carlee has clammed up around the police. Lawyers would approve, since she might be charged with theft, lying to authorities, and filing a false police report.

Fortunately, there was no specific victim of her hoax. However, we can’t rule out that if some red-headed guy had been picked up by police, she would have been willing to point a finger. Innocent people have their lives destroyed by hate hoaxes, as Duke lacrosse players can confirm. Deuteronomy 19:16–19 comes to mind:

If a malicious witness rises up against a man to accuse him of wrongdoing, then both the men who have the dispute shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges who will be in office in those days. The judges shall investigate thoroughly, and if the witness is a false witness and he has accused his brother falsely, then you shall do to him just as he had intended to do to his brother. Thus you shall purge the evil from among you.

Something to be considered for future hoaxes. In the meantime, let’s hear Miss Smollett’s I mean Miss Russell’s side of the story (LANGUAGE ALERT):

Members of preferred identity groups allegedly face hostile work environments. For example, male police officers may show resentment that less qualified people are hired to reward them for being female. That might have seemed to be the dynamic regarding the ostracization of Emily Hirshowitz. But the hoax fell through:

A New York police officer who complained for months about receiving menacing text messages from her colleagues was arrested after investigators alleged she’d been the one sending them all along.

Emily Hirshowitz, 36, of the Ossining Police Department, was charged at the Westchester District Attorney’s Office on Wednesday with four counts of third-degree falsely reporting an incident, along with three counts of first-degree filing a false instrument.

She reported threatening text messages from several numbers, and claimed that “a fellow police officer or multiple police officers at my department are involved.”

When the hoax got out of hand, Hirshowitz tried to drop the complaint. Too late; the investigation continued:

Prosecutors said the evidence quickly indicated she was in charge of several of the phone numbers that the menacing messages had come from, and that she’d likely sent them to herself.

A former cop forced to resign over separate disciplinary charges appears to have been her accomplice. Most likely, the objective was to portray her as put upon by sexists and collect some jackpot justice. If being a black woman who was fired for being late 47 times is worth $11.25 million in nearby New York City, even a white woman ought to be able to collect seven figures for having been called “useless” by male chauvinists.

Looks like she won’t be cashing in, but at least she helped raise awareness. Maybe the Ossining PD will mandate sensitivity training, as often happens in colleges even after hate hoaxes have been exposed.

Hate hoaxes can be helpful when gays want to explain their injuries and attract sympathy after beating pregnant women leads to them getting set on fire — as recently happened in San Diego.

On June 12, officers arrived at a crime scene to find a pregnant woman bleeding and injured and the assailant having fled. Soon afterward, they received a report of someone claiming to have been set on fire. Turns out it was the assailant. Security video confirms the pregnant woman used fire to defend herself from him in response to a physical assault.

KGTV-TV’s initial report about the gay man’s claim that he was set on fire in a hate-crime attack paints a decidedly different picture than what police are now maintaining.

Scott Rowin, 39, said he was on his way home from asking about a job at a gay bar.

KGTV said within a few blocks he heard what sounded like two people yelling gay slurs: “Started hearing [gay slur] this, [gay slur] that. The word came up quite a bit.”

Then they came up and set him on fire. No word on whether they were wearing MAGA hats like Jussie Smollett’s assailants.

Rowin added to KGTV that the slurs carried extra weight due to Pride events this month.

“This is absolutely a hate crime,” he declared to the station. “The slurs were hate-filled.”

The Injustice Department will be happy to investigate this right-wing conspiracy:

Rowin also noted to KGTV that “nobody walks around with flammable liquid … without an agenda. In my opinion, they were obliviously out there targeting the LGBT community.”

Even if his hate hoax went up in smoke, at least it helped raise awareness of his imaginary oppression.

Looks like authorities have not yet managed to stamp out racism/homophobia/fascism/et cetera even in the bastion of liberalism some call the San Francisco of the South. Look what someone did not merely to a house of worship but to a Historic Black Church, the Providence Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta:

According to 11 Alive, the front of the church was tagged with several messages including “devil worship 666,” “apostate,” “Satan,” “sin,” and at least one homophobic message. The main doors had a backward swastika and imagery of a hanging painted on them.

It didn’t take long to track down the apparent culprit. James McIntyre had been removed from the property for trespassing the previous Sunday. He was found sitting across the street from the crime, easily identifiable by the MAGA cap he wore balanced atop his KKK hood.

Just kidding. McIntyre is of course black. Otherwise this story would have been national news.

Nevertheless,

Reverend Doctor Gerald Durley, the church’s former pastor, told Channel 2 Action News that he hopes those responsible will be prosecuted under hate crime laws.

That way McIntyre might actually be punished — if they can find him. He was released the following day.

Despite failing to fit it, the story was shoehorned into the Narrative:

In response to a TikTok video posted of local news coverage of the vandalism, in which a photo of McIntyre was not shown, some users appeared to presume that the suspect was white.

“I have been to that church in the pass [sic] for black political conference, still have pictures. White Racism and WP is mother nature’s worst mistake,” wrote one TikTok user.

Not everyone is as wise to the ways of the world as Moonbattery.com readers. Those steeped in liberal propaganda will assume that any attack on a black church was likely committed by mythical white racists, even if this rarely if ever happens in real life. By deleting McIntyre’s race from the story, the media told a deliberate lie that could be used to inflame racial tensions on behalf of the woke agenda.

The vandal’s motives are unknown and likely too psychotic to make sense of, but media propagandists who spun this as a racial incident while suppressing his race belong on the Hate Hoax List.

Coconspirators in the most famous hate hoax since the one that launched Al Sharpton’s career have come forward to confirm that like his Democrat backers, Jussie Smollett is a fraud:

Early in the morning hours of a polar vortex in January 2019, FOX’s “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett claimed two White supremacist Trump supporters attacked him near his Chicago apartment in a racially-motivated hate crime that would soon incite outrage from activists and the media. …

Smollett alleged the “White supremacists” … threw chemicals on him and put a noose around his neck, while shouting racially and homophobically-charged slurs and telling him he was in “MAGA country.”

Despite the credulity of the liberal establishment, the staged hate crime flunked the laugh test so dramatically that Smollett was convicted on five felony counts of disorderly conduct.

Brothers Abimbola “Bola” and Olabinjo “Ola” Osundairo, Smollett’s accomplices in the act, finally broke their silence to the media about the hoax for the first time in an interview now streaming on Fox Nation.

Watch and laugh as the Nigerian brothers explain how they subjected Smollett to a noogie, which is probably as close as this privileged yet whiny Gay Person of Color ever came to being oppressed:

Hate hoaxes are good for more than garnering the sympathy of fools. They can also be used to shut down free speech, as with flyers blaspheming against sacred sexual deviants that were found on the campus of Massachusetts Institute of Technology:

The incident came in the wake of a two-month-old MIT faculty resolution that defends freedom of speech and expression — even speech some find “offensive or injurious.”

Even some college professors are getting fed up with the climate of fear that prevents the free exchange of ideas.

A report released in mid-January by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression … found that “Large portions of MIT faculty and students are afraid to express their views in various academic settings. Faculty and students are at least as afraid of each other as they are of the administration.”

Educrats being overwhelmingly left-wing, they are rarely fans of free speech, because dissident speech constitutes a challenge to their hegemony. Yet MIT appears to be moving in the right direction — infuriating moonbats.

A Feb. 23 memo from MIT administrators stated flyers posted across campus and some chalking outside a school entrance “contained slurs directly targeting the LBGTQ+ community.”

MIT’s bias response team investigated, the memo added, and determined “the messages were put up by students choosing to use extreme speech to call attention to and protest what they see as the implications of” several new pro-free speech policies and efforts at the school.

That is to say, like the ideology the students were trying to defend from free speech, the flyers are a lie.

Peter Bonilla, executive director of the MIT Free Speech Alliance, said he couldn’t say for sure whether the students who posted the messages are left-leaning progressives, but added “whatever the content of the messages, whatever was being said, the point they seem to be making was that they should not have the right to say it.”

I’ll go out on a limb and say of course they were left-leaning progressives — and of course they belong on the Hate Hoax List.
