The deluge of Hate Hoaxes continues, wasting countless manhours because even the most trivial alleged “hate crimes” are treated like multiple murders by the authorities. Encouragingly, the hoaxer behind a recent incident at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville has actually been charged for her criminal behavior:

Illinois law enforcement announced Friday that Kaliyeha Clark-Mabins, a black female college student, will be charged with three counts of disorderly conduct for filing a false police report. …

“SIUE Police received [on January 23] a report of a hate crime involving the posting of hand-written notes on the door of a room in Woodland Residence Hall, along with an alleged anonymous text message thread from fall 2021 containing threatening and racially hostile content,” campus Director of Media Relations Megan Wieser said in an email to The Fix.

The notes read “DIE BITCH” and “BLACK PEOPLE DON’T BELONG.”

They literally made a federal case out of it, involving not only the campus police but the Madison County State’s Attorney’s Office and the US Secret Service.

The investigation cleared two white students falsely accused of involvement, Amanda Jerome and Jimmi Thull.

A lynch mob had taken to Change.org to demand the expulsion of Jerome and Thull.

Hoaxers pull hoaxes because they get so much attention. But the excessive attention often results in their childishly contrived hoaxes being exposed.

Nonetheless, the hoaxes will continue, until one of three things happens: (1) authorities stop overreacting to trivial incidents like racist notes; (2) punishment is consistently applied and severe enough to be taken seriously; or (3) the supply of racism against politically favored groups rises to meet the demand.

From the very beginning, it was the most comically obvious hate hoax yet. Although the appeals and suspended sentence are yet to come, the Jussie Smollett farce is essentially over, given that the mainstream media has a motive to move on almost as fast as from the Darrell Brooks massacre. However, the damage to the liberal narrative has been done.

Mark Dice waves good-bye to a talentless clown:

It must be a consolation to Smollett that at least he still has Black Lives Matter and Brian Stelter on his side.

Leftists have become desperate as they watch Terry McAuliffe — the Democrat establishment incarnate — flounder in blue Virginia. In a pathetic attempt to wring a last drop of propaganda out of a rally in defense of a Robert E. Lee statue that took place in Charlottesville 4 years ago, the pro-Democrat, pedophile-protecting grifters of the Lincoln Project staged a laughably amateur hate hoax attempting to associate Glenn Youngkin with dreaded white supremacists. The Three Stooges level incompetence even featured a black white supremacist.

MSM journalists are so eager to believe or at least disseminate any lie they think will hurt Republicans that they actually fell for this.

The Blaze reports:

Mainstream media outlets and online liberal influencers pounced on the bait after a photograph surfaced of supposed supporters of Glenn Youngkin with what has been identified as white supremacist paraphernalia.

The tiki torches are intended to convince idiots that these are the evil racists who didn’t want the statue of Robert E. Lee torn down.

Jen Goodman, the communications director for the campaign of former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, immediately reposted it and said “This is disgusting and disqualifying.”

Thankfully we are not at the mercy of liberal journalists and other Democrat spinmeisters. Online sleuths recognized some of the faux white supremacists.

Among the two who suspiciously look like Democrat activists are Colleen Wachenfeld, whose profile said she works for the Virginia Democrats, and Camden Layton, whose profile said he worked as the finance director for the Virginia Democrats.

These two have been covering their tracks on social media.

Later on Friday, the anti-Trump organization Lincoln Project took responsibility for the stunt in a defiant statement.

The Lincoln Project is the same moonbat operation that compared Antifa brownshirts to the heroes who stormed the beaches on D-Day. Vice explains why these cockroaches abandoned their hoax and confessed with only days to go before the election:

The Lincoln Project acknowledged they were behind the stunt after VICE News identified one of the people dressed in the photo in front of Youngkin’s campaign bus as a low-level Democratic operative who has recently been working for Democratic sting operator Lauren Windsor’s The Undercurrent. Her group has repeatedly gone undercover as conservative activists to goad politicians into saying what’s really on their mind—and has also held events alongside the Lincoln Project in recent days. …

Windsor acknowledged her role in the event.

If progressives were good at anything, it would be dirty politics. But even there they are incompetent. No wonder the country’s wheels have been coming loose since these deranged clowns took over the federal government.

Voters have yet another reason to prevent McAwful from returning to the governor’s mansion.

His upset loss will be devastating for Democrats. It will signal that moonbattery has reached its high-water mark, and that the country is returning to its senses.

In the violent, racially oriented society we now live in, a hate hoax might get someone killed:

In August, police began investigating a post on the app ‘Yik Yak’ that invited people to a Theta Chi rush party that stipulated “No blacks.” The name and phone number of [East Carolina University] Theta Chi Chapter member, Austin Hunter, were attached to the post.

The college newspaper helpfully published Hunter’s name and number. Predictably, he was harassed and received death threats.

Even more predictably, this was a hate hoax. A 2-month investigation culminated with the arrest of 19-year-old James Edwards IV for cyberstalking.

As noted at The Blaze,

Edwards’ race is listed as black in jail records.

Edwards intended to major in political science at ECU. It had to be either that or journalism.

On a tip from Mr. Freemarket.

No wonder liberals consider racism against blacks to be a bigger problem even than the threat of government hypertrophy causing economic collapse. Look how bad it is in Georgia:

A Douglasville neighborhood plagued by a series of racially charged notes left on mailboxes since last year can breathe a bit easier after police said they have made an arrest. …

Those notes suggested the writer was a white man and a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Police said the notes also included threats such as burning down the residents’ homes or even death.

By now readers will have figured out that the note-writer was neither a member of the KKK nor white.

Local police had to sink a great deal of time into the case, but at last they found the likely culprit.

Terresha Lucas was charged with eight counts of making terroristic threats. But instead of a six-foot-tall white male with a long, red beard who did not live in the neighborhood, investigators said Lucask was a 30-year-old African-American woman who does live there.

It would save police time and effort to acknowledge that these cases are almost always hate hoaxes. That in turn would save taxpayers money.
