Shahid Bolsen who has been accused of inspiring waves of Islamic terrorism in Egypt and having ties to extremist groups says that the recent UK riots were part of the global oligarchy’s deliberate strategy to destabilise Europe.

Shahid Bolsen is a controversial figure.  He has claimed that was involved with the ‘Global Anti-Aggression Campaign’ led by radical Saudi cleric Safar al-Hawali, which has raised concerns about Bolsen’s ties to extremist groups.

Last year a report published by the non-profit Counter Extremism Project on extremism and terrorism in Egypt described the concerns related to Bolsen’s activities:

Shahid King Bolsen is an American-born convert to Islam, who has inspired a wave of terrorism against government and commercial targets across Egypt through “a distinctive blend of anti-globalisation sloganeering and Islamist politics.” Bolsen believes Egypt is “being invaded and occupied by a neoliberal crusade.” Bolsen advocates what analysts have dubbed an “alternative jihad” targeting multinational companies in Egypt. Bolsen supports violence, and believes that non-violent protests are simply opportunities “to get arrested or shot” by authorities. Bolsen believes there “is nothing wrong with armed resistance. Not by Shari’ah, not by International Law, not by logic.” Bolsen also believes the loss of life to prevent future deaths at the hands of Egypt’s security forces “is a price to be paid.”

Bolsen spreads his propaganda through accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Ask.fm, and YouTube, as well as media appearances. In a May 2014 interview posted to YouTube, Bolsen claimed to be the chief analyst of the ‘Global Anti-Aggression Campaign’, led by radical Saudi cleric Safar al-Hawali.

Bolsen was previously sentenced to death on a murder charge in the United Arab Emirates. He was released in October 2013 on a technicality and fled to Turkey where he began spreading his anti-Egypt propaganda. In March 2017, Bolsen relocated to Malaysia after allegedly being deported from Turkey. Despite a January 2021 announcement he would leave Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, Bolsen has since continued to spread his views across Twitter, Telegram, YouTube, TikTok, and various blog websites. As of 3 August 2023, Bolsen had more than 51,000 followers on Facebook and more than 8,300 followers on Twitter.

Bolsen maintains that he advocates for non-violent civil disobedience and labels that he was a violent extremist were “malicious.” Despite the accusations against him, in the biography section of his website, it is claimed he has “emerged as one of the most unique and influential public intellectuals of the Muslim world.”

In June 2021, he created a social media channel named ‘Qawwamun’ which was later renamed the ‘Middle Nation Channel’, a project that is claimed to promote the economic sovereignty of Muslim Countries, the political independence of Muslim Countries and the psychological de-colonisation of Muslims collectively.  However, considering the seriousness of the controversies surrounding Bolsen, it would be foolish to take his project, or anything he says, at face value.  We should question what his motives are before we allow his words to guide our thoughts or actions.  As the Counter Extremism Project report noted:

[As of 3 August 2023,] his Middle Nation YouTube channel had almost 16,000 subscribers. Launched in 2021, Middle Nation focuses on what Bolsen considers issues of great importance to the greater Muslim community. His commentary maintains an anti-US and anti-capitalist bent. He has likened the European civilisation to “an abusive spouse” and condemned the “vagueness of Western moral values definitions” as “a PR trick” without an agreed-upon interpretation.

Although we may be intrigued by some of what he says, it appears that Bolsen, at the very least, is driven by an underlying anti-Western ideology, which is possibly extreme.  It is in this context that everything he says should be viewed and we should be careful not to allow him to manipulate or radicalise us.  However, it is also in this context that his views on the deliberate destabilising of Europe are interesting because it might indicate that some radical Islamists know that they too are being played by the Globalists.

In July 2023, Bolsen posted an article on Medium about the protests in France and stated that he believes “the OCGFC are undertaking a destabilisation project against Europe.” By OCGFC, Bolsen means the “owners and controllers of global financialised capital,” a term he coined to describe “private sector power.”

On his website, he explains that think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation, Brookings Institution and the World Economic Forum “function to translate the pursuit of narrow self-interest by the OCGFC into ideologically and philosophically justifiable policies that can camouflage their actual purpose.”

The World Economic Forum certainly does represent “private sector power” that is attempting to impose its ideologies not only onto Western nations but the world and it could be argued that the destabilisation project is also being implemented in African countries, for example.

In the video clip below that is circulating on social media, which appears to have been taken from Bolsen’s TikTok profile, Bosen was asked about the recent “UK riots.”  We have not been able to find the source for this clip so we cannot establish when it was recorded or published.

The interviewer asked Bolsen: “What do you think of the far-right protests in the UK and the rise of Islamophobia in the UK?”

The wording of the question indicates the interviewer has fallen for the UK government and corporate media propaganda.  Rising above the loaded question, Bolsen answered:

“I think … it’s the destabilisation project of Europe, which whether they like it or not includes the UK.  You will see increasing civil strife, you will see increasing civil unrest, you’ll see increasing civil division, violent hatred, factions against factions, militants against militants.”

Posting the video clip below, Concern Citizen commented: “Listen to Shahid Boisen explain that all events unfolding are part of [a] strategising scheme to destroy the West.  This isn’t a conspiracy – this is [the World Economic Forum] Agenda, they talk about it [and] you can see it happening.”
