I am delighted to report that I have successfully defended the libel claim brought against me in the High Court by Nina Power and Daniel ‘DC’ Miller, which I have been fighting for over four years.

My full statement on today's Judgment can be read here: luketurner.com/victory-in-hig… Ms Power and Mr Miller had sued me in respect of 16 tweets, which I posted in 2018-19, as well as the ‘content warning’ of a webpage archive of some of Mr Miller’s own Twitter publications in which I described the nature of those posts.

Julian Mathews (pictured) has been unmasked as the operator of prolific far-right account 'Beyond Woke and Problematic'—a one-man propaganda machine notorious for pumping out Sonnenrad-laden memes championing Evola & neo-fascist figures Aleksandr Dugin & Nick Land 🧵 According to his public LinkedIn profile, Julian Mathews lists his job as Senior Medical Editor at New York's @juicepharma

cw: Denver mass shooting, neo-Nazism

Lyndon McLeod, aka 'Roman McClay', the Denver mass shooter who just murdered 5 people, appears to have been heavily inspired by neo-Nazi figure 'Bronze Age Pervert' (BAP), a Romanian-American extremist whose real name is Costin Vlad Alamariu cw: neo-Nazism

(Rustin was doing a spot of decorating, so it's unclear if she did in fact read the piece, or what she made of it…)

Bronze Age Pervert: A THREAD

Neo-fascist figure Bronze Age Pervert poses real danger, gaining major traction & influence not only in far-right but more mainstream right & so-called "dirtbag left" circles

I've read his manifesto—so you don't have to—to unmask its neo-Nazi nature BAP's 2018 'Bronze Age Mindset' can accurately be described as a fascist/neo-Nazi manifesto

It promotes a rejection of modern civilisation, an elevated fantasy of a hyper-masculine Bronze Age Aryan-warrior ideal & the dehumanisation of groups of people as "refuse" to be cleansed

Last week, my panel in Berlin was cancelled by the gallery due to far-right intimidation. I'm grateful for the incredibly kind words of support shown by friends and peers in the days since. 🙏💖
 
However, there's another, darker art-world response that needs to be highlighted… Almost immediately following the announcement, several alt-right troll accounts that have been harassing me for months sprang into action, insinuating that Robert Grunenberg Gallery was lying about the intimidation and their reasons for cancelling:
