London Mayor's Stunning Proposal: "Terrorist Until Proven Innocent"

With all of England on edge because the ISIS executioner of James Foley, known as "Jihadi John" sported a British accent, and who may or may not have been identified as Abdel-Majed Bary, although UK government sources have not yet officially revealed his identity, one person has decided it is time to not waste yet another crisis. The person: London mayor Boris Johnson who as the Guardian reports, has called for the presumption of innocence to be reversed in cases where Britons travel to Iraq or Syria and said he wants the jihadist who beheaded an American journalist to be killed in a bomb attack. If Johnson's proposal for a "swift and minor" law change passes, any Brit traveling to Iraq or Syria will automatically be branded a terrorist and suffer the appropriate consequences.

More on this stunning attempt to overhaul the most basic right of law:

The Mayor of London, who has overall responsibility for the Metropolitan Police, said legislation should be introduced so that anyone visiting those countries would be automatically presumed to be terrorists unless they had notified the authorities in advance, and joined growing calls for Britons fighting abroad to be stripped of their citizenship.

Johnson said Britain must take on the Islamic State (Isis) and “try to close it down now”, warning that doing nothing would mean a “tide of terror will eventually lap at our own front door”.

Writing in his Daily Telegraph column, Johnson said most Britons wanted “someone to come along with a bunker buster” and kill the man, reported to be British, “as fast as possible”.

Does that mean I can accuse the mayor too, then?

According to Louis Learner, Bath House Barry, Eric Holder, and DHS, the biggest “terrorist” threats to the US are white veterans who own a firearm.

A Nation gets to decide how it handles its immigrants and under what circumstances they stay in the country.

People spout off and say some pretty dumb things.

I rank this as pretty dumb.

The place to address the terrorist threat, is with immigration. We are at war with the followers of Islam. We may not like that idea, but it is true.

To me it’s not being mean, to simply put a hold on all Islamic immigration until this has been resolved.

It may be ten or twenty years before more followers of Islam get to come over. Too fricken bad.

Too many of them want to commit jihad. We have no mandate to play along so they can.

I would look long and hard at people already here who show a proclivity to participate in terrorism.

Sadly, the black communities across this nation are basically at war with the rest of us. At some point we may have to come to grips with that, and simply offer those who want to a cash payout and a free ticket to the nation of their choice, never to return.

Folks, in the long run, it may be a very good option.

Afterwards we would have a population base that actually wanted to be here, valued the nation enough to contribute and pull together to make this nation hum again.

Kind of like always assuming a gun is loaded, "always assume the Muslim is Loaded". Don't point the Muslim at ANYBODY, lest he go off and cut off their head.

Anybody who belongs to the middle eastern death cult needs to be expelled from the country. Yeah, guilty by association.

-— Johnson said Britain must take on the Islamic State (Isis) and “try to close it down now”, -—

And this is controversial because...?


The Founders made a mistake in creating the First Amendment, because they probably didn’t foresee significant Mohammedan immigration. Jefferson, who was a religious indifferentist, was ignorant of the nature of Islam until he read the Koran.

Regardless, we can constitutionally restrict Mohammedan immigration on the basis of sedition. The object of the religion is the forcible establishment of Mohammedan rule over the earth.

A version is still on the books and seemingly never tested in the courts:

” The (Alien-Sedition)acts were denounced by Democratic-Republicans and ultimately helped them to victory in the 1800 election, when Thomas Jefferson became President. The Sedition Act and the Alien Friends Act were allowed to expire in 1800 and 1801, respectively. During World War II, the Alien Enemies Act was used to detain, deport and confiscate the property of Japanese, German, Italian, and other Axis nation citizens residing in the U.S.[2] The Alien Enemies Act remains in effect as 50 USC Sections 21–24.[3]

The Magna Carta was more like guidelines than actual rules.
