Yeah, waving the fucking Al Qaeda flag is not going to win you points with the general American public, most of whom are old enough to remember watching the twin towers fall.

Nor is it going to ever meet the approval of any credible candidate for President, because the President is the commander in chief of the US military, swears an oath to uphold the Constitution, Al Qaida are literally enemies of the United States, and I know we might have lost sight of this during the Trump Presidency, but NOT COMMITTING TREASON is basically the lowest bar for a President.

And yes, I do think publicly supporting Al Qaeda and spreading its propaganda could qualify for the definition of Treason in the Constitution:

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to the Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."

Precedent IIRC is that treason only applies to aiding someone we are actually at war with, but Al Qaeda qualifies. In 2006 Adam Gadahn became the first American since the 1950s to be indicted for treason after joining Al Qaeda and becoming a major spokesperson and advisor of theirs'. He was subsequently killed in a drone strike overseas in 2015.

However, he was a senior Al Qaeda operative and such charges are very rare, so in practice a treason charge for being a flag-waving dipshit would be unlikely (unless Trump wins like a lot of these "protester" imbeciles want, then Treason could be anything Dear Leader doesn't like).

From a "Pro-Palestine" protest in Washington DC today, 7/24. The green flag is the flag of Hamas, for those who don't know (who have always maintained their position that their goal is to kill/ethnically cleanse all Jews. They have never gone back on this position, despite what idiots on tiktok may say.)

How much longer are Jews supposed to sit here and be gaslit about the rabid antisemitism that is absolutely taking over the left like a fucking title wave. How much longer will people even pretend that everyone doesn't just think killing Jews is cool again.

Just saw some white supremacists and anarchists both saying “Israel shelters pedophiles!”

You know most countries on the Arabian peninsula have no defined age of consent, right? That’s not a coincidence. Mainstream Sunni Islam defines “old enough for sex” as “can co-sleep safely”. Which is toddlers.

The ulema have agreed that it is permissible for fathers to marry off their small daughters, even if they are in the cradle. But it is not permissible for their husbands to have sex with them unless they are capable of being placed beneath and bearing the weight of the men.

Major Security Concerns As Jihadi Fighters from Africa’s Sahel Begin Settling in Nigeria - Reports

Jihadi fighters, who had long operated in Africa’s volatile Sahel region, have now found a new home in North Western Nigeria, several media sources have reported, raising security concerns. This migration, they say, followed a trend of militants seeking refuge in wealthier West African coastal nations. Reports say that the situation poses significant security challenges and raises more concerns…

The Syrian factions that toppled President Bashar Assad last month named an Islamist former rebel leader as the country‘s interim president on Wednesday in a push to project a united front as they face the monumental task of rebuilding Syria after nearly 14 years of civil war. The former insurgents also threw out Syria’s constitution, adopted under Assad, saying a new charter would be drafted soon. The appointment of Ahmad al-Sharaa, who was once aligned with al-Qaida, as Syria’s president “in the transitional phase” came after a meeting of the former insurgent factions in Damascus, the Syrian capital.

The biggest threat to the United States is not China or Russia or other "external threats," said Max Boot. It's "our own political dysfunction." The U.S. remains fundamentally strong, with the world's biggest and most resilient economy, the most powerful military, and 50 allies, compared with a handful for China and Russia. China's once-booming economy has stagnated, due to poor central planning and an aging and shrinking population. We remain the world's only true superpower and an "indispensable nation," keeping rogue actors like Vladimir Putin and Iran in check. But extreme partisan warfare and a growing isolationist movement have put us on the road to abdicating that critical role. A divided Congress cannot even pass a budget, or agree on military aid to embattled allies Israel and Ukraine. If Donald Trump and his "American First" brigade regains the White House, he'll likely abandon Ukraine, pull the U.S. out of NATO, alienate allies, and cripple our nation's global power. A host of enemies, including Nazi Germany, al Qaida, the Soviet Union, Russia, and China have been unable to cripple the U.S. and demote us to second-class status. But Americans may succeed where "others have failed."

"I have repeatedly and unequivocally condemned Hamas. I have repeatedly said that the 7 October attacks were unspeakable and horrific. Apparently, this is deemed insufficient. In the German context, the term Zivilisationsbruch (“breach of civilisation”) is used by scholars as a reference to the Shoah [the Holocaust]. In effect, the museum is arguing here that they can’t show my work because I have not acknowledged an equivalence between the Holocaust and the 7 October attacks. To demand that such an equivalence be pronounced, as a condition for exhibiting my work, is to effectively demand that I relativise the Holocaust. In order to comply, I would have to betray my fundamental understanding of the Shoah as a singular historical event. Need I point out the absurdity of Germans dictating to Jewish people how they should articulate their reactions to the heinous massacre of Jewish people at the hands of terrorists? What will come next? Will every Jewish person in this country be asked to retrospectively condemn the Shoah and unequivocally deny having empathy for the Nazi regime?"

"The notion that every progressive Jew in this country can be assumed to be harbouring antisemitism unless they publicly denounce Hamas is patently ridiculous. One is apparently guilty by default, until one declares oneself innocent. This reminds me of the post-9/11 climate, in which Arabs, Muslims and Sikhs who did not publicly condemn the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center were automatically suspected of condoning al-Qaida."

Homeland by Richard Beck – how 9/11 changed the US for ever

Journalist Beck argues that the war on terror made America vastly more authoritarian, paving the way for Trump

Almost a quarter of a century on, is the US still being shaped by 9/11? Richard Beck thinks so, despite all the other shocking and pivotal events there since the 2001 attacks, from the financial crisis to the twin election victories of Donald Trump. In this long, ambitious book, which aims to be an “alternative national history”, encompassing politics, popular culture, consumerism, policing, the use of public spaces and even trends in parenting, Beck argues that 9/11 turned the US into a more aggressive, angry and anxious place, with Trump’s ascendancy only one of the consequences.

Beck depicts the “war on terror” that his country launched in response to al-Qaida’s surprise assault as a continuing, almost limitless military operation, which in its first two decades alone caused “900,000 deaths”, including those of “nearly 400,000 civilians”. His account of interventions and atrocities in countries such as Iraq, Yemen and Afghanistan is clear and powerful, switching smoothly between strategic objectives and individual victims, yet much of it will be familiar to anyone who even casually follows US foreign policy.

The book is more original when it lays out the war’s less obviously lethal but profoundly malign effect on America itself. A presidency with massively expanded powers; increased surveillance of US citizens; innocent people arrested and detained on vague “national security” grounds; a greater readiness to use torture; and the thickening of the Mexican border into a militarised zone a hundred miles deep – in these and many other ways, the American state has become more authoritarian and intolerant since 9/11. Meanwhile, US society, Beck says, has followed a similar path, making it increasingly difficult for Muslims and other minorities considered suspicious to lead full political lives, or even appear safely in public during the frequent periods of mass panic about terrorism or triumphalism about its supposed vanquishing.

From all this bleak, carefully collated evidence, Beck draws a striking and timely conclusion: “If September 11 had not occurred, Donald Trump could never have become president.” Nor, the book suggests, could he rule in such a draconian and crudely nationalistic manner while retaining so much public support. The desire for revenge after the horror and humiliation of 9/11, conscious or unconscious, remains so huge that it will take many more years to sate. Superpowers that considered themselves wronged do not forget.

George W Bush, a reckless rightwing Republican by the standards of his day, if not now, was president when 9/11 happened, and reacted with characteristic illiberalism and overconfidence, establishing much of the secretive bureaucracy and elastic legal framework of the “war on terror”, and disastrously invading Afghanistan and Iraq. Then, the much more revered Barack Obama – who turns out to be one of Beck’s main targets – stealthily continued the war, at times appearing to be winding it down with troop withdrawals and conciliatory speeches, while in reality replacing Bush’s macho “shock and awe” displays of force with drone strikes and other assassinations. On the war’s home front, Beck points out, Obama also “tripled the budget” of the Department of Homeland Security’s infamously tough immigration and customs enforcement agency, “deported some three million people”, and further blurred the line between immigrants and terrorists in the public mind.

Why did a supposedly liberal president, who had opposed the Iraq war as a state senator, end up continuing the “war on terror”? For Beck, there is a grand, systemic explanation for the militarism of every US government since 9/11. “With the United States unable to muster the economic strength to maintain [its] hegemony around the world,” he writes, “militarism is the next best option for managing discontents abroad and at home.” In other words, the “war on terror” has never really been about terrorism, but about maintaining America’s global supremacy and internal status quo, threatened not just by radical Islamism but the rise of other superpowers, and growing domestic and foreign discontent with the US economic model.

It’s a compelling thesis. Yet Beck doesn’t connect its many elements closely enough to make it absolutely convincing. His book seems to want to be both a rigorous geopolitical analysis in the style of New Left Review and a work of novelistic nonfiction, informed by the doomy American panoramas of Don DeLillo. In places, he pulls off this tricky fusion, and the pages hum with unsettling facts and conclusions. But elsewhere the book is too broad-brush.

For all its epic sweep, sometimes plunging far back into America’s violent history, the account also omits at least one important precursor to the “war on terror” era. Ronald Reagan’s 1980s presidency, shortly after the US defeat in Vietnam, was also driven by vengeance and intense nationalism, and featured an ever-expanding and authoritarian government campaign against a supposedly vast global threat, the “war on drugs”.

Reagan is now widely remembered as a charming old conservative, rather than a ruthless enforcer of American privilege. This bold and outspoken book, despite its flaws, could help ensure that the domineering ways of the post-9/11 presidents are better understood.

Axel Rudakubana Sentenced for Carving Up Children

Reading newspapers requires translation skills. For example, headlines about Axel Rudakubana refer to a “British teen” or “UK teen.” While technically accurate, given that Rudakubana was born in Cardiff (to Rwandan parents), what they actually mean is “African colonist.” This is not when we picture when someone says, “British teen”:

From the New York Post:

A UK teen unexpectedly pleaded guilty Monday to killing three girls and wounding 10 others at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class last summer — while also admitting to having an al-Qaida training manual. Axel Rudakubana, now 18, pleaded guilty to the horrific murders of Bebe King, 6, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9, along with 10 counts of attempted murder for stabbing eight other children as well as two adults who tried to help them at the kids’ event.

Rudakubana will spend the next 52 years watching TV and hanging out in the prison rec room at taxpayer expense.

Under Two-Tier Kier, the justice system isn’t always so indulgent. Rudakubana’s crimes are so emblematic of what Third World colonization has inflicted on the native population that they set off riots, which…

…led to 1,200 arrests, with hundreds facing up to nine years in prison for their involvement.

Too bad for Rudakubana that Joe Biden isn’t a position to commute his sentence. He wouldn’t have been the only child-killer Biden offered clemency.

New information recently came to light at the trial. Via Breitbart:

While it had previously been known the victims had been stabbed many times by Rudakubana after he travelled to a children’s holiday fun group, it was revealed today that in at least one case, Rudakubana had worked to decapitate his child victim with a knife. … It was also revealed for the first time that, after his arrest, [Rudakubana] gloated about the killings.

Sounds like he was inspired by both Islam and Critical Race Theory:

The court had further heard that Rudakubana … had repeatedly carried a knife at school and intended to use it because he believed he’d been subjected to “racist” bullying… The judge said a former teacher of Rudakubana had described how he was “threatening to those who he felt had wronged him”.

No doubt the little girls he butchered wronged him by making him feel himself to be oppressed with their pale British skin.

The BBC has zeroed in on the root cause of the problem, echoing Home Secretary Yvette Cooper’s take that it is “a total disgrace” Rudakubana was able to buy a knife on Amazon. The Sun is calling him the “Amazon Killer,” while Karmer vows to crack down on Britons being allowed to own knives.

Rudakubana also possessed the biological toxin ricin, the better to enrich the multicultural tapestry. No word from the Home Secretary or BBC on whether he bought it on Amazon.

Why, exactly, did Washington back Sunni rebels taking down Assad, and if Washington wants a Turkish-backed Sunni Muslim caliphate in Syria, should we as Christians cheer Washington getting its way?

Leo Hohmann

Dec 09, 2024

All of those in the West celebrating the fall of the Assad regime in Syria had better be careful what they wish for.

I’ve heard some awful dumb statements coming from conservative circles in recent days about the “stunning” nine-day collapse of Syria.

One prominent regular guest commentator on Fox News has come out and said both sides in the Syrian Civil War are made up of really bad buys, but that he was hoping the coalition of “rebels” which include the former El Nusra, al-Qaida and other Sunni Muslim terrorists would win. Why? Because they’re against Russia and Iran, whom he fears more.

But even that nonsense pales in comparison to some of the other chatter out there in conservative and even Christian circles, where I’m hearing them say there is “hope” now for a democratically elected constitutional republic to emerge in Syria. Where is there another example of such a government, of, by and for the people anywhere in the Middle East right now? I would actually go further and say I don’t see a government anywhere on Earth right now that reflects those vaunted principles.

Let's face it: The U.S. didn't support the rebels who overran Syria because they thought Assad was too brutal of a dictator. They supported them because it was yet another way to deal a black eye to Russia.

Instead of Russia and Iran running the show in Syria, now we face the very real possibility that Russia and Iran will be replaced with Turkey and the Muslim Brotherhood.
