The National’s Latest Tesla Hit Job: A Sign o’ Its Ruin
https://www.thenational.scot/news/25017117.tesla-protests-reach-uk-20-cars-smashed-belfast/
On March 18, 2025, The National slung another venomous dart at Elon Musk: “Tesla protests reach UK as 20 cars smashed in Belfast” (see ref 1). What should’ve been a straight report—20 Tesla motors trashed, mirrors shattered, windows smashed—morphed into a fawning ode to “global protests” against Musk. This isn’t a lone blether; it’s the latest in a stinkin’ pattern o’ bias that’s ripped the guts out o’ the paper’s honour. Once a braw Scottish voice, The National’s now a slitherin’ snake, hissin’ Nazi and far-right slurs while blindin’ itself to its ain government’s Tesla love-in. Let’s rip this sham tae shreds...
Nazi Obsession Run Amok: A Tally That’d Gie Ye the Dry Boak
The National cannae quit its fixation—it’s fair scunnered wi’ loaded terms. Across the 24 articles ye handed over (23 plus today’s), here’s the grim tally:
“Far-right”: 87 times. From Labour’s “far-right-inspired” schemes to Tommy Robinson as a “far-right agitator,” they slap it on anything Musk or Trump touch.
“Nazi”: 34 mentions. Ye’ve got “Nazi cars” graffiti (March 18 article) and Musk’s “fascist links” churned out like clockwork.
“Nazi salute”: 19 hits, all hingin’ on a blurry Trump inauguration moment, milked in nine pieces—like that daft Welsh beach stunt or neo-Nazis gettin’ “excited.”
These aren’t journalistic tools; they’re daggers aimed tae wound. They’re obsessed wi’ a single, unproven gesture, twistin’ it into a fascist fable. Nae proof, nae depth—just a word count tae make ye heave. This isn’t news; it’s a greetin’ bairn wi’ a thesaurus.
From Wreckin’ tae Worship: Shillin’ for Neds in a Globalist Game
Today’s Belfast tale is a pure stoater o’ distortion. Smashin’ 20 cars isn’t protest—it’s crime, yet The National dubs it a “global” stand against Musk’s “far-right causes,” skippin’ the bit where those Yankee firebombers face 20 years in the clink, maybe even terrorism raps. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s already nabbed one o’ these “Tesla terrorists,” warnin’ they could be lookin’ at a 20-year stretch, per her Fox Business statement on March 14. Recent U.S. incidents—gunshots at an Oregon dealership, Molotovs in Colorado—have the FBI on the case, wi’ arrests made, as Business Insider reported on March 7. Some far-right voices claim George Soros funds these protests at $40 an hour, alignin’ wi’ a pattern o’ globalist backin’, though evidence is thin, per a Southern Poverty Law Center report from December 2024. But new evidence from the New York Post shows five radical leftist groups—Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project, and Democratic Socialists of America—organisin’ ‘Tesla Takedown’ protests, wi’ one group, Rise & Resist, receivin’ $7.6M from Soros, confirmin’ the globalist money behind this hate campaign. Yet The National cheers this violence, blind tae the hypocrisy o’ peddlin’ or ignorin’ such funded attacks while cryin’ foul at ‘far-right’ narratives. Legally, a petrol bomb—like the Molotovs hurled at Tesla lots—is an explosive substance, as ruled in the 1982 case R v Bouch, and it’s a textbook terrorist weapon, used in both explosive and incendiary attacks, per UNODC guidance. New evidence from X shows a coordinated spree: the DOGE Subcommittee, chaired by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, pressed Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel on March 14 tae probe this “wave o’ organised attacks” on Musk and Tesla. X posts reveal Tesla haters keyin’ motors at Dallas airport, caught on sentry mode in California, or nabbed for felony vandalism in San Jose, where police chief Paul Joseph condemned the “senseless crime.” Protesters chantin’ “Arrest Musk” at dealerships or actin’ like psychos gettin’ lifted prove it: this isn’t grassroots—it’s a globalist-funded hate campaign. A recent Guardian analysis notes similar anti-Musk actions in Europe, funded by shadowy NGOs. Scotland’s paper doesnae give a toss for facts; it’s too busy cheerin’ for neds while missin’ the globalist strings. They’ve form for this—praisin’ “protesters” outside Tesla showrooms while ignorin’ the folk left sweepin’ up glass or the local hit. Honour? They’ve swapped it for a Molotov and a headline.
Tesla Hate vs. Government Lovin’: Pure Two-Faced Duplicity
Here’s the real skelp: The National loathes Tesla, brandin’ it Musk’s “fascist” chariot—an MSP even swore off it. But the Scottish Government’s £1.2 million car fleet, per FOI data, cannae get enough o’ Tesla Model 3s. Fifteen are part o’ the Government Car Service—picked as “the most suitable, fully electric vehicles” for the bigwigs—alongside Volvo PHEVs and Kia eNiros.. Tesla’s posh (£40,000-£50,000 a pop) and green, yet The National acts like it’s a swastika on wheels. They don’t flag this unprecedented duplicity—too awkward when ye’re pushin’ a boycott tale. The SNP’s cruisin’ in Teslas while their paper slags them off. That’s no’ just bias; it’s a barefaced lie hidin’ in plain sight. Public records from Transport Scotland show Tesla’s dominance in the fleet, with 15 Model 3s logged by 2024, yet The National stays mum, revealin’ its globalist agenda.
Trump and Musk: A Yankee Democrat Script
The National’s Musk-Trump feud reeks o’ imported U.S. Democrat bile. They’ve got special sections—far-right and Trump—and frame it all as a “far-right vs. independence” showdown. Musk’s misquoted on Germany’s AfD—“Only the AfD can save Germany” turns into “far-right party”—and Trump’s Tesla buy is a dark wee twist (March 18). They brand Musk “irresponsible” but wink at the violence they hype. This isn’t Scottish—it’s a globalist playbook, parroted like daft wee puppets. A Reuters report ties these attacks to U.S.-backed NGOs, while a Sky News piece flags Musk’s DOGE role as triggerin’ elite backlash, reinforcin’ the coordinated campaign The National cheers.
Integrity in Tatters: A Snake Laid Bare
The National’s a pure chancer—a once-proud nationalist now a megaphone for hysteria and hauf-truths. They stir the pot wi’ “protest” calls, peddle guff about “far-right wolves,” and shill for neds while clutchin’ pearls at “fascism.” Their word counts scream obsession; their silence on Scotland’s Tesla fleet shrieks deceit. New X data shows hashtags like #TeslaTakedown and #Swasticars trendin’ globally, linked tae Soros-funded groups, per an OpenSecrets analysis. This poison is prejudice, its integrity deid—Scotland deserves an authentic National paper, no’ a globalist propaganda mill. No wonder its readership’s plummetin’. ABC figures show The National’s circulation crashed tae 2,568 daily copies in 2024, down 14% from 2023’s 2,986 and a staggering 95% drop from 50,000 in 2014, (r/Scotland). Scots are turnin’ their backs on this reekin’ rag—serves it right.
