Ahmed, you didn’t build that. Radio Shack sold it. #StandWithAhmed

The left had a triple whammy of self-congratulation this week when Texas teenager Ahmed was arrested(!) for bringing a bomb to school. The problem is, allegedly, he had brought to school a digital clock he built, to show to class. So this was allegedly a case of Texas being racist and anti-Science™!

Except most of the facts were wrong. He didn’t build the clock, and the school had reason to believe it looked like a bomb.

Anthony at Art Voice has taken down the situation thoroughly... Anthony...found that the clock Ahmed allegedly built, was originally sold at Radio Shack. Pictured is the clock Ahmed put into a case to bring to school: a Micronta 63 756, sold by Radio Shack:

The shape and design is a dead give away. The large screen. The buttons on the front laid out horizontally would have been on a separate board – a large snooze button, four control buttons, and two switches to turn the alarm on and off, and choose two brightness levels. A second board inside would have contained the actual “brains” of the unit. The clock features a 9v battery back-up, and a switch on the rear allows the owner to choose between 12 and 24 hour time. (Features like a battery back-up, and a 24 hour time selection seems awful superfluous for a hobby project, don’t you think?) Oh, and about that “M” logo on the circuit board mentioned above? Micronta.

That’s right, Ahmed didn’t even bother to remove the silkscreened logo and part number Micronta printed onto the circuit board. Anthony also points out the other killer element: Why would you put a clock in a pencil case? It has a lid, that closes, meaning you’ll never actually be able to read the display.

That all very nicely explains the “what.” Now the left will change to motive: Why would the kid stage the stunt? The answer to the “why?” is this:

CAIR and the rest of the muslim brotberhood have had it out for the mayor since she vetoed sharia courts there not that long ago. This is their revenge plot. Watch them demand changes to the mayor’s office.

I don’t believe the English teacher can speak out due to privacy rules. Last I saw Ahmed was hiding behind lawyers and would not speak further to the school or police.

Does this now mean that this lying, creepy kid will have to leave the White House by the garbage take-out door?

The world powers are not pro-science. They have, in good Pavlovian fashion, conditioned the populace to laugh at ideas that might inspire people with a sense of God-wrought human dignity, scientific proof, for example, of Noah's Ark or the few remaining living dinosaurs and pterosaurs.

Why must we believe in long ages and evolution, that life has no meaning, no purpose you ask? Simple. If we perceive ourselves as mere animals we are far easier to control, less likely to embrace the truths Jefferson and Madison held as "self evident".

We live in a Matrix wherein "climate change", which happens every single year, is a tragedy but the wholesale mass genocide of blacks and other babies is a nonstory since we're nothing but animals, with no inherent dignity since there's no God...

Ahmed is a young fool, and I cannot believe the White House if going to transport him at our expense to Washington. This guy is not an MIT candidate, but would be more suited for the Islamic Studies program at the madrassa. Of course, having a radical dad did not help.

One of the original news stories I read on this yesterday or the day before already said it was a retail clock that had been disassembled. So other than finding the exact model, this isn’t a discovery and won’t make any difference to liberals.
