It's Obviously My Blog on the Day After a Terrorist Attack Thing
here is the whole transcript, via the White House:
"It's still an active situation. FBI is on the ground offering assistance to local officials as they need it. It does appear that there are going to be some casualties. And, obviously our hearts go out to the victims and the families. The one thing we do know is that we have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world. And there are some steps we could take not to eliminate every one of these mass shootings, but to improve the odds that they don't happen as frequently: common-sense gun safety laws, stronger background checks.
And for those who are concerned about terrorism, some may be aware of the fact that we have a no-fly list where people can't get on planes, but those same people who we don't allow to fly could go into a store right now in the United States and buy a firearm and there's nothing that we can do to stop them. That's a law that needs to be changed.[oh okay, nice use of a crisis, Mr. President]
And so my hope is that we're able to contain this particular shooting, and we don't yet know what the motives of the shooters are [and yet you immediately sent in the FBI], but what we do know is that there are steps we can take to make Americans safer, and that we should come together in a bipartisan basis at every level of government to make these rare as opposed to normal. We should never think that this is something that just happens in the ordinary course of events, because it doesn't happen with the same frequency in other countries." [the red is for emphasis -- and the brackets are all mine]
"no parallel"...perhaps.
Of course, we did just witness Paris.
[Mr. Motives Unknown]
Then again, now that we are thinking about it, something we don't usually see here in America, is the continuous activity of suicide bombers -- you know, like the guys and dolls using buses, cars, trains, or simply strapping a bomb around one's waist, etc. and careening into crowds, malls, restaurants, churches, schools...and blowing everybody up! One of those happens nearly every day.
But let's be honest -- obviously your real hope is to contain the law abiding Americans who cling to their guns more than anything else.
But while we're on the subject of "containment" -- a characteristic that you, as president, used in defining ISIS just the day before the Paris Islamic Terrorist attack -- just how do you "contain" individuals with evil intentions...those who thrive underground, choosing to interact carefully and methodically among us, blending in with the community (as Farook and his wife) just before blowing us up? How do you contain anything when you openly, and intentionally, keep wide open our borders, and insist on allowing refugees from areas of the world where Islamic Extremists are homegrown and prevalent, and for all intents and purposes, give up the fight abroad?
like you said,
"And, obviously our hearts go out to the victims and the families."
Wow. Way to sound sincere. You might as well have added a yada yada yada on the end.
So just so you all know, Farook went to Saudi Arabia to become radicalized and met his bride in crime.
Jump ahead to yesterday: Farook left a Christmas, excuse me, Holiday Party -- just before the group picture was taken (apparently a wee bit pissed at just the thought of that kodak moment to have and to hold for all of eternity and be shared on social media everywhere and often) -- only to return with his wife, masked, in black, and totally, heavily, intentionally armed and dangerous with every intention to kill his co-workers.
Obviously, it was planned; and obviously, right from the start, the shooters were radicalized, ISLAMIC, extremists with Sunni terrorist ties and loyalties.
See Breitbart, here.
Where's the president now? [cue the crickets]
Well, that isn't exactly true, now is it. But aren't the crickets fun...
Obviously, he did show up again this morning to claim, "that it is possible..to be terrorist related...but we don't know...it is also possible this was workplace violence..."
Where is the president making his terse remarks against the active, daily, facebook rhetoric and calls to action of all Sunni Muslims? I mean, if we want to detect a pattern and all... Surely the Right, conservatives, can expect the onslaught of vitriol from the Left, and in particular the president, making sweeping connections against ALL conservatives and the rise of gun violence, whether it begins with a Planned Parenthood video, and the like, or not. [Oh, lookie there, another pattern -- blaming videos....]
"We don't know why they did it," saving his make-believe Sunni brother's hide from total shame.
Having awoke in the middle of the night [all ah meet menopause...now talk about great he he] this girl seemed to be on a mission to attract the attention of the FBI, Homeland Security, and any other entity that makes a habit of following our google searches and what not.
I was searching everything SUNNI.
And all of a sudden, things became way too clear.
Let me begin with retired General Wesley Clark, following an interview on CNN and a post featured on what's called "The AntiMedia":
"Let's be very clear: ISIS is not just a terrorist organization; it is a Sunni terrorist organization. That means it blocks and targets Shi'a. And that means it's serving the interests of Turkey and Saudi Arabia — even as it poses a threat to them." — Retired Gen. Wesley Clark
This comment alone might give us everything we need to know about how Obama's foreign policy has thrown the Middle East into a tailspin (Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood, Iraq's vulnerability after the U.S. truly reached real containment, Libya, Syria...Iran); it all rests upon the tribal loyalties and who is who. The conflicts between people, between the Sunni and Shiite Muslims, runs wide and deep and for the ages.
So hey, you know who else is Sunni?
Valerie Jarrett. The President's confidant and closest friend and more like family than top adviser.
Cue Judicial Watch --Judicial Watch called Valerie Jarrett, "a liberal extremist who wields tremendous power in the White House. Faithful to her roots, she still has connections to many Communist and extremist groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood. Jarrett and her family also had strong ties to Frank Marshal Davis, a big Obama mentor and Community Party member with an extensive FBI file."
And even if you don't accept President Obama's Muslim roots from childhood, you must know, if you are inclined to eventually accept this information as reality (because it simply IS) then you must take a moment to read THIS. [Actually, if you click on this link, bounce around her website for awhile and read her bio just for kicks, and then, if you are further motivated, maybe even buy her book.]
So, needless to say, it's complicated.
These days and these times, get more and more convoluted and mixed up as the days go by -- while what was up is down, what used to be in is out, and at the end of the day, the only thing guaranteed is that NONE of it will make any sense upon first glance.
[And all adding up to one more reason to go back to our foundation of growing a country of good character, easily gained returning to our Judeo-Christian roots...but that's for another day]
But let's talk about upon first glance...
Perhaps not. Perhaps not at first glance.
But to have the courage to delve deeper...no matter what atrocities that come to the surface...everything eventually and completely comes together and begins to make perfect sense.
Much like the first time we heard the name Syed Farook.
They (the authority) knew what happened then, just as they know what happened still. Morning light doesn't change a thing. Syed Farook, the Sunni Muslim, might as well be Syed Farook the Sunni ISIS terrorist. A lone wolf connected to the mission of the whole.
What got in the way -- creating the situation from a city protected to a city attacked, totally out of the blue? Maybe, in part, to Americans being afraid of speaking up and alerting the authorities.
Confusion on what to do runs worldwide.
Cue the Wall Street Journal's dynamic video on explaining some of it.
Of course, as little g has made widely known over and over and over again -- g is just a girl (and an ALL AMERICAN one at that!) and what do I know, right. Oh! Which reminds me:
The Past,
The Present,
And the Future
Walked into a Bar.
IT WAS TENSE.
California -- proud location and intrepid producer of the wild, wild, west -- has some of the toughest gun laws around, as irony is written into the pages of a post-Constitution America...
California revels in our "gun free zones," our sanctuary cities, our open southern border, and our come one, come all open arms, even Syrians (and thank you, foreign visas, for everything). And if you are transgender, we will pay for your transition surgeries and medications and even let you pick the bathroom you are most comfortable using -- even if that makes a ten year old girl freaked out for the rest of her life, or just the fifth grade. California leads the way in carbon/climate change policy and it's accompanying propaganda, and would rather save an itty bitty fish than water our fields of gold, and believes all immigrants (even the illegal ones...even if it's now frowned upon to call them illegal) have a right to vote, receive government taxpayer funded assistance, get free medical care, and pretty much anything else their little liberal hearts desire (every illegal = one vote policy, and on good days, two).
Tune in next week when little old gthing reports from the bottom of the abyss...
In the meantime, the Times of India gives us a quick study on some questions that just might make a difference between life and death, HERE. (Just blame it on the video -- the one running non-stop in my head and had me bouncing all over the world wide web half the night...oh what fun it is to ride...)
But now, thanks to Google - this G needs to get out of her jammies and prepare for the knock on my door.
May God bless the families of San Bernardino experiencing such great loss AND the law enforcement who tirelessly worked through day and night, risking life and limb, in protecting the communities of San Bernardino and Redlands. May the peace that passes all understanding come your way, and give you strength.
And to everyone --
