  • The satirical web site Ladies of Liberty attempted to drum up religious and ethnic hatred with a fabricated story published on 10 December 2017: We found no mention of a William DeLisle, Abdi Nadjeer Hallalla or Mustif Salabu in any corroborating news report. The photograph included in the article actually shows Marshall Dion, who was convicted in Boston on drug trafficking and money laundering charges, and sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2016. Nor were there any reports of Muslim men attacking elderly Christians. The article is a cynical attempt to capitalize on fear and religious hatred. One clue that the article is fake is the claim that DeLisle stormed the beach at Normandy as a young man. He would have to have been a very young man indeed, given that the D-Day landings took place 73 years ago - when William DeLisle was just nine years old. Like everything published by Ladies of Liberty, this article is fabricated. A disclaimer on the website reads: The site appears to be affiliated with a network of fake news and satire web sites run by Christopher Blair, who uses a number of pseudonyms and is behind the Last Line of Defense, FreedumJunkshun and Reagan Was Right, among other web sites.
