Fort Hood Fear-Mongering, Enabled By Media, Breeds Strange Bedfellows
Jason Linkins
Huffington Post
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Yesterday afternoon, Newsbusters plugged this story about ABC News’s report via Brian Ross “that suspected Fort Hood shooter Nidal Halik Hasan tried to contact people connected to the terrorist group al Qaeda” with some intriguing language: “ABC reports story that many in media wish wasn’t true.” That raised a rather obvious question: Who out there, in the media or otherwise, was wishing that it was true? Doesn’t it seem reasonable to wish that the Hasan shootings had nothing to do with al Qaeda at all?
Well, of course, there were people who were hoping against hope that Hasan was an al Qaeda-endorsed terrorist agent, and in a well-put essay on Gawker, John Cook identifies them: “terrorists and wingnuts.”
Fanaticism makes strange bedfellows, and the push to link up Hasan to a wider terrorist plot has united Sen. Joe Lieberman and radical Yemeni cleric Sheikh Anwar Al-Awlaki in common cause. Wingnuts and neocons want Hasan to be a Muslim terrorist because it confirms their worldview that Muslim terrorists lurk in every shadow and helps them scare the shit out people. Muslim terrorists want Hasan to be a Muslim terrorist because it satisfies their desire to claim credit for the murders of Americans and helps them scare the shit out of people. Everybody wins.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
Well, not everybody! The major losers in all of this are any adults who want to conduct a serious inquiry into the actions of an isolated, disturbed murderer and the signs that may have been overlooked in advance of his horrific killing spree. Many of these adults, like Secretary of the Army General George Casey, would like to keep these more important concerns from being washed away in a toxic backlash that would unnecessarily sully the names and reputations of the many soldiers of Islamic faith who have and who continue to serve their country with distinction. Nevertheless, the race is on to capitalize on this tragedy for the sake of juvenile political points, and the news hole is already getting clogged with precisely these sorts of kindergarten combatants.
The whole thing deserves to be read in full. Pay particular attention to the fact that the reporter behind the original report, Brian Ross, is a serial offender of narrative unreliability who’s put on offer a report that “is a grab-bag of red flags.” Cook blows that out further in a related post today, that thoroughly discusses the Problem That Is Brian Ross:
Ross’ stock response to these complaints is that he only reports what his sources tell him. “We reported what we knew, when we knew it,” he says. “I’m comfortable with the story.” His problem, as we’ve said before, is that he has shitty sources. And he just repeats what they tell him. Which is how you get from “Hasan sent e-mails to his former imam, who now preaches in support of Al Qaeda. We don’t know what the e-mails were about, but they didn’t raise alarms at the FBI” to “Hasan tried to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda” to the headline’s blunt, and thoroughly unsupported, reference to “Hasan’s Contacts with al Qaeda.” It would have been a good story if Ross had stuck to the first, accurate, formulation.

The Illuminati own Ross’s butt and the whole MSM. They are told what to report; more damn smoke and mirrors to cloud the waning judgement of the average zombie so that the public will see terrorists everywhere.
In so doing, the Illuminati will put the final nail in the coffin of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Then when they are certain they have us all, will usher in their own Luciferian worship of Satan. This is not a war for the planet, it is a war for our souls. The only way to come out of this unscathed is to watch your back and keep your mind on God. And for those who hate religion and don’t believe in anything, we’ll see you in hell.

did anyone find it odd that during the memorial service they only used the first name of the troops killed, they used to use full name and rank , i wonder if troops decided to keep the oathkeepers pledge and the army covered that up because they didnt want it out that troops are refusing to go overseas ,

The Illuminati own Ross’s butt and the whole MSM. They are told what to report and go along willingly to keep their overblown paychecks.
This is just more smoke and mirrors to keep the mindless zombie public seeing terrorists every damn where. The Illuminati are putting one more nail into the coffin of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. When they finally finish them off, they will usher in their Luciferian worship of Satan. This is not a battle for the planet, they own it already; this is a war for our souls. The only choice is good or evil, God or the Devil. And for those of you who hate religion and believe in nothing, we’ll see you in hell.

What about the other 2 shooters????????? Where the F are they? What are their names.
Why , how could they have been “mistakenly” identified as shooters……..then, miraculously…oh they can walk into the sunset never to be heard from again????
Pee-Yeeww!! Something reeks. I guess if the lap dance buying drunken lout of a devout muslim would’ve just fuckin died like he was supposed to, they could’ve stuck to their first bald faced false flag lie. Anyone able to clarify whats up w/the other 2 shooters???

This is all Bush’s men playing in the background while Obama keeps us thinking Bush is no longer in power.
Really, Bush is still controlling the US government, all of it and making people believe that Muslims are out to get us, in order to drum up another war for oil in the Middle East.
Think about it people – you know that it makes sense and is true.
Those airplanes never crashed into those buildings on 911. It was just done on a sound-stage in Hollywood, like the moon landing hoax – to force you to BELIEVE and then like a pack of stupid sheep do whatever George Bush the anti-christ is ordering us all to do.
Well he can’t tell me what to do cause I already know he’s an evil liar and ordered the shooting at this military base too.
Anyone who calls this victim of military and CIA intelligence a “Muslim” should be brought before a hate-crime charge and sentenced to prison. That would be a good start.

GWB was a stooge, not some criminal mastermind. Cheney and other puppetmasters pulled Georgie’s strings, and he dutifully stumbled around on the world stage. And please stop with the “no planes” theory. It won’t wash, and it damages our ability to awaken more people to 911 truth. Or is that your real goal?

With all the conspiracy this maybe just an Islamist sticking to the Koran. If you read it you will know. Convert or die. This guy has almost been shouting that he was going to this, but because of apologitics and PC they didn’t do anything about it. (Maybe the didn’t do anything about because when he did fly of the handle it would support their cause). Soldiers are dead either way, right here, on US soil. They should have kicked this moron out of the military when he asked to leave, instead you had PC muslim appeasement and promoted him to Major.
Islamics are not our friend. They make great patsy, yes, but the truth is that their Jihad is very real, very anti-American. Political correctness killed these soldiers, fellow citizens.

Ok, yea, show me one example of peaceful Islam…they stone women, lynch you if you even mention Muhammed. They live in the fucking stone age, they beat their chest about how cool they are, but refuse to look themselves in the mirror and now YOUR defending it. I am allowed to have my viewpoint fucker and if your going to spout your zionist shit, then I can spout my shit and that it is nobody but their fault. Radical Islam spouts this hatred and people full of hate they kill off their souls. Islam needs to be SNUFFED out. You must be come blithering liberal, you write like one. Yea, sure lets blame our actions on religion not personal choice, somewhere in his heart he should of known better. NOBODY can MAKE You pull a trigger that IS YOUR CHOICE.

The military the liberated thousands of Muslims just so we could get killed by those fuckers, where is the gratitude!?! Where is the Gratiude for everything we have done for the blacks, mexicans and all the other minority groups we have bend over BACKWARDS for them. DO any of there fuckers show anything but contempt?

Radical Islam was founded and funded by the CIA in the 70s as part of a plan to create just THIS state of affairs. The aim – to create an excuse for the invasion and takeover of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iran. Folks getting mad at ”the terrorists” are really dumb. Those are the small fry, the inconsequential fall-guys in a much, much bigger picture.
Go read Project For The American Century, a blueprint for the takeover of the said nations, written several years before 9/11. It projects the exact scenarion we’re witnessing today. Go figure. If you have the brains!

Fort Hood was a false flag by government agents to further instill hate against Muslims and thereby to support the empire’s exploitative wars against middle eastern Muslim countries.
Hasan is the patsy who never fired a single shot on Thursday 5 November 2009 at Fort Hood.
He was left for dead on the transit hall floor and now is at great risk of being suicided.

Hasan is not crazy, but rather a pious Muslim who understand the koran. those in the with PC and those who are applogists have allowed PC blindness to not root out this Hasan because they did not wan to be called racists, but then what race is islam l ask? its not invented by the CIA, but by a blood thirsty thief , rapists and murder from the land of the sowdis.
here are some of his words to which this Hasan followed as well as his fellow islamists, beware ignore at your own peril.
Here is the truth, as bitter as it may be: Islam is the culprit. Islam is anything but a religion of peace. Violence is at the very core of Islam. Violence is institutionalized in the Muslims’ holy book, the Quran, in many suras:
Quran 9:5 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”
9:112 “The Believers fight in Allah’s cause; they slay and are slain, kill and are killed.”
8:39 “So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world).”
8:65 “O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels are a people devoid of understanding.”
9:38 “Believers, what is the matter with you, that when you are asked to go forth and fight in Allah’s Cause you cling to the earth? Do you prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? Unless you go forth, He will afflict and punish you with a painful doom, and put others in your place.”
47:4 “When you clash with the unbelieving Infidels in battle (fighting Jihad in Allah’s Cause), smite their necks until you overpower them, killing and wounding many of them. At length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, bind them firmly, making (them) captives. Thereafter either generosity or ransom (them based upon what benefits Islam) until the war lays down its burdens. Thus are you commanded by Allah to continue carrying out Jihad against the unbelieving infidels until they submit to Islam.”
And the Quran is considered by Muslims to be the word-for-word literal edicts of their god, Allah.

Seems to me this somehow blends with shutting down the web…My questions are, since this was a “military base”, why was it that a civilian shot this guy down? Where exactly were the “military police?” Where is all the camera footage of this shooting at? Please don’t try to tell me the largest “military base” in the USA doesn’t have cameras and MP’s in every nook and cranny…Get off the Muslim angle folks…It’s old and done.
