The Collapsing of the American Skull - Mark Steyn
NRO ^ | 4/26/2013 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 04/28/2013 9:21:34 AM PDT by mc5cents

One of the most ingenious and effective strategies of the Left on any number of topics is to frame the debate and co-opt the language so effectively that it becomes all but impossible even to discuss the subject honestly. Take the brothers Tsarnaev, the incendiary end of a Chechen family that in very short time has settled aunts, uncles, sisters, and more across the map of North America from Massachusetts to New Jersey to my own home town of Toronto. Maybe your town has a Tsarnaev, too: There seems to be no shortage of them, except, oddly, back in Chechnya. The Tsarnaevs’ mom, now relocated from Cambridge to Makhachkala in delightful Dagestan, told a press conference the other day that she regrets ever having gotten mixed up with those crazy Yanks: “I would prefer not to have lived in America,” she said.

As always Steyn is brilliant. We are aborting our common sense to PC. Our natural instinct for self-preservation is aborted also.

The Left has been at this for a long, long time.

“What happened at Fort Hood was a tragedy, but I believe it would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty here.”

I have come to the conclusion that the entire diversity thing is way over valued.

For the first century of this nation and well in to the second century the immigrants to this country were primarily Christian. This had the effect of giving the existing population and the immigrants at least common values.

Another important thing that immigrants for the first century and a half had that no longer exist is the expectation that they will arrive here self sufficient or with a sponsor (usually a relative) that would be responsible for their welfare. The immigrant had no illusion that his new country of residence would give him a hand up. This has an important effect on those that come here. First it is hard to carry a grudge against your new home country for not doing things to help you out when you knew from the beginning that you could expect no help. Secondly it is hard to find time to plot against your new home country when most of your time is spent earning your daily bread. It also leaves you little time to read radical Islamic websites if you are working 7 days a week just to keep a roof over your head.

We do ourselves no good in making it easy for immigrants to come here or to stay here while not contributing to this country. When they come here they should come here with the expectation that they will be self sufficient. They should come with the expectation that they will receive no help for the government. They should come here with the expectation that they will assimilate in to the greater society. They should come with the expectation that they will be subject to our rule of our law in all cases.

Diversity is a good thing if we all share the same basic values other wise it divides us in to divergent groups of hate and distrust. We don’t have to all look alike but we had better all share the same values.

The Tsarnaevs’ [pathologically insane muslim] mom, now relocated from Cambridge to Makhachkala in delightful Dagestan, told a press conference the other day that she regrets ever having gotten mixed up with those crazy Yanks: “I would prefer not to have lived in America,” she said.

Dear insane muslim mom (a redundancy?) Although it needs not be said, rest assured that we all would have much preferred not to have offered you asylum.
Yes, rational people should have been aware that Chechnya ia a rabid dog sort of place. Most of us knew it before, and you have exquisitely confirmed it.

There is a famous book by the equally famous muslim scholar/apologist called What Went Wrong? (Bernard Lewis, on the dysfunctional societal evolution of islam into the modern world).
The exact same question must now be asked of the United States.>br>It does not take a rocket scientist or a brain surgeon clearly to see that the quotes above by Steyn and mc5cents answer the question succinctly and totally.

Great post, thank you.

I need to read it slowly, so I can properly digest.

While I'm at it, I would like to leave you with a gift that also requires spiritual discernment. Please contact me if you are interested in seeing more truth. Amen.

Police Say The Naked Man Arrested In Boston Was Not Tamerlan Tsarnaev

Both his nutty parents and his straight up Uncle say they are 100% certain this video is Tamerlan. Look at any of the pictures we have of Tamerlan, we can all agree that his most significant feature is his nose. Now, look at the crystall clear video images. This naked man is obviously Tamerlan beyond any reasonable doubt.

On Thursday night while police were hunting in Watertown, Mass. for bombing suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, at one point they arrested a naked man who looks a lot like Tamerlan.

Police say the naked man is not Tamerlan, despite various conspiracy theories going around the Internet.

According to the official account, Tamerlan died after a shootout with cops, riddled with bullets and shrapnel before being run over by his brother who was fleeing the scene in an SUV.

Take a look: I dare you!

FBI

The Watertown police department got back to us via email just to say that the naked man was not Tamerlan Tsarnaev (pictured on right and in high-res here).

The shootout with the Tsarnaev brothers occurred on Laurel Street. The journalist interviewed in this video describes naked man's capture near Nichols and Dexter, literally down the street from the shootout.

Naked man was apparently stripped, questioned, clothed, questioned some more, and reportedly let go. It's likely police stripped him because they were under citywide bomb threat and wanted to make sure he didn't have a suicide vest, but the police did not comment on that.

Needless to say, Business Insider is interested to hear Naked Man's personal story — send any tips to tips@businessinsider.com.

Have any of you viewed the CNN footage of a Crisis Actor that was interviewed at the bombing and then again four days later as a witness to the Watertown shootout.

Maybe this oversight was due to the Sequester; HaHaHa.

If you're still with me, I would be happy to PM you.

Boston Terror, CIA’s Graham Fuller & CIA Operation-the Caucasus

Saturday, 27. April 2013 by Sibel Edmonds

Graham Fuller: Edmonds’ State Secrets Privilege, FBI Gladio-B Target, Handler-Sponsor of Turkey’s Imam Gulen

A major break in the Boston Terror CIA Connection took place last night when I came across a post outing CIA Operative Graham Fuller as the father of the woman married to Boston terror suspect’s infamous uncle Ruslan Tsarni.

Further confirmation of this bombshell was received via mainstream reporter Laura Rozen here. Let me first provide a few excerpts from the original reporting site (a real alternative media):

Boston Bombers’ Uncle Married Daughter of Top CIA Official

The uncle of the two suspected Boston bombers in last week’s attack, Ruslan Tsarni, was married to the daughter of former top CIA official Graham Fuller . Ruslan Tsarni married the daughter of former top CIA official Graham Fuller, who spent 20 years as operations officer in Turkey, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong.

In 1982 Fuller was appointed the National Intelligence Officer for Near East and South Asia at the CIA, and in 1986, under Ronald Reagan, he became the Vice-Chairman of the National Intelligence Council, with overall responsibility for national level strategic forecasting. …

Now, take a look at the most explosive aspect of this original report on Graham Fuller’s outing in the CIA Boston Terror Connection [All Emphasis Mine]:

On a more ominous note, Graham Fuller was listed as one of the American Deep State rogues on Sibel Edmonds’ State SecretsPrivilege Gallery,. Edmonds explained it featured subjects of FBI investigations she became aware of during her time as an FBI translator.

Criminal activities were being protected by claims of State Secrets, she asserted. After Attorney General John Ashcroft went all the way to the Supreme Court to muzzle her under a little-used doctrine of State Secrets, she put up twenty-one photos, with no names. One of them was Graham Fuller. …

I presented CIA’s Graham Fuller as one of the top culprits in my State Secrets Privilege Case when the government invoked the State Secrets Privilege and several additional gag orders to cover up the FBI’s investigations and files pertaining to CIA-NATO terror operations in Central Asia & the Caucasus since the mid-1990s.

Guess what? I provided this information to the US media long before it became public in 2008 via my website Not a single media outlet (including quasi and pseudo ones) was willing to touch this. And this, despite of all the gag orders, state secrets privilege invocations, congressional gag orders … you name it. I could name more than a dozen publications that said: ‘no way.’

Not only that. I have been covering one of the main CIA operation figures in Central Asia & the Caucasus-Imam Fethullah Gulen, and this Turkish Imam’s relationship and official Connections to CIA’s Graham Fuller. I’ve been doing this since 2009. Let me provide you with a few explosive examples and excerpts.

Graham Fuller, Crisis Actor Filmed Twice By CNN

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbqVqI1cWXc Perhaps budgetary restraints brought on by the Sequester forced CIA Ops Director Graham Fuller to utilize this Crisis Actor at the Boston Bombing and in Watertown where the alleged bomber, Tamerlan Tsarnaev Attempted to Surrender.

Watch these two videos and make up your mind before the MSM and the Regime closes the historical record forever.
