JUAN WILLIAMS AND THE FALLACY OF RACIAL PROFILING

Unless you just came out of a coma, or like myself have just emerged from a week-long barrel ride over the falls; then you're aware of course of the remarks that Juan Williams made on Bill O'Reilly's show that resulted in his termination from NPR:

"I mean, look, Bill, I’m not a bigot. You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”



What we have here, remarkably enough, is a black liberal endorsing the concept of racial profiling.

This attitude is backed one of this country's leading experts on race, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, about 18 years ago; "There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery . . . then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved."

We are used to the hypocrisy of the Left, of course. The same personalities of that clucking hen show The View who walked out on Bill O'Reilly for having the audacity to declare that the Ground Zero Mosque is innapropriate because, "Muslims killed us on 9/11," now rush to Juan William's defense. Whoopi Goldberg said this of Williams: “I don’t think he should have been fired, because, in fact . . . lots of people have this idea,”

It may or may not surprise you to learn that as a security professional, I do not endorse the concept of racial profiling. People deplore the security procedures at our airports - "Why does a 100-year-old grandmother have to take off her shoes and be subject to the same searches as an Arab male of military age?"

I'll tell you why. Consider; up until the events of September 11th, 2001, the worst terrorist attack in North America - and one of the worst in world history - was the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma . . .




. . . an atrocity perpetrated by THESE individuals:


Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols don't fit the mental image most Americans have of terrorists.

Perhaps you recall that in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, immediate suspicions fell upon the Arab & Pakistani populations in and around Deerborn, Michigan? In fact, this was partially McVeigh's & Nichol'S motivation - inspired by The Turner Diaries, McVeigh's goal was to kick-start a race war within the United States.

Then there's THIS guy:

The traitor Adam Gadahn - American-born self-convert to Islam, the al Qaeda Minister of Propaganda; now deceased thanks to Predator Drone.

Then there's THESE lovely personalities:

Chechen leader & mastermind of the Beslan Elementary School massacre, Shamir Basayev.

The Chechens are not Arabs, they are Caucasians. Some of them are blond haired and blue-eyed, and as anybody who has faced them down in combat will tell you, they are a THOUSAND TIMES more lethal than any Arab, any day.

Check out the Chechen WOMEN terrorists:






"The female of the species is more deadly than the male." - Ancient Truism


Now back to that 100-year old grandmother, going through the security line at the airport - SHE's not of military age, she's OBVIOUSLY not a terrorist - why should SHE have to take off her shoes, then be lifted out of her wheelchair and be subjected to the humiliating search train?

I'll tell you why - and I'll tell you how anyone can be turned into a terrorist, no matter what their age, race, sex or skin color. All the bad guys have to do is rock on up to Grandma's house and show her a video of her lovely 4-year-old granddaughter they're holding at gunpoint, and tell her that before they kill the child they're going to rape her in every hole, and . . . you get the point.

Bottom Line: racial profiling against Muslim males is not security, it is the ILLUSION of security. The enemy knows we're on heightened alert for dark Arab males of a certain age; and this is precisely WHY we should be on alert for the blond-haired, blue-eyed All-American types . . .

. . . or little old ladies in wheelchairs.

DESPERATELY BORED JIHADI HOUSEWIVEs

When I first heard the Jihad Jane story last week, I dismissed it; this was not a case of Self-Induced Jihad Syndrome Strikes Again, I thought. Rather, this is some strange aberration from the norm, a weird phenomena; I commented to a colleague that this is closer to the extremely rare female serial killer, that this bird had discovered a moral justification to become a killer.



Colleen "Jihad Jane" LaRose





Here she is looking cute & coquettish, trawling for dates on her Internet social networking site . . .





. . . when the burqa comes off she's PSYCHO BITCH FROM HELL ! ! !




Then bored blonde housewife #2 popped up:



I don't know about you, but this woman looks kind of scary to me, too . . . like some kind of a predatory, aging porn star . . . anyway her eyes are the wrong shape and besides, I go for brunettes . . .



According to my theory, Self-Induced Jihad Syndrome is not limited to disgruntled, angst-ridden offspring of successful immigrants from the Sand Countries, like this young man:





Even though he was not a Muslim, I maintain that Timothy McVeigh suffered a form of SIJS - an otherwise clean, upstanding individual with no criminal background; self-generated righteousness, America is the threat, etc, etc . . .





Now we see that SIJS isn't exclusive to young disenfranchised males:



Both of the Jihad Janes indoctrinated themselves, apparently, before seeking out recruiters and launching toward their missions. Blog STORMBRINGER has repeatedly stated that we are under attack and the enemy is already inside the gates. The next time you have to take your shoes off for the bored-to-death TSA workers at the airport security checkpoint, think about it. It’s not about swarthy, bearded hajji’s in turbans coming at us; the real threat is somebody who looks as American as Apple Pie – whether he or she is white, black, oriental or whatever – possibly with military training & experience. Just think of Timothy McVeigh – he was a decorated war hero. If this doesn’t blow the whole premise for racial profiling out of the water, what does?

SELF-INDUCED JIHAD SYNDROME

This is where the philosopher in me comes out . . .








In the aftermath of a horror like Fort Hood, civilized people ask themselves, "What's going on?"

I wish to explore a phenomena I have labeled "Self-Induced Jihad Syndrome (SJS).

I'm sure the shrinks have a better word for it. When I say Jihad, I'm using the term almost for lack of a better word. That is, not Jihad in the original Islamic concept but in a larger, more symbolic meaning. While SJS certainly seems prevalent amongst members the Muslim community, but it is by no means constrained to those of the Muslim religion.

What I'm calling SJS is some kind of inner struggle inspired by religion, politics, philosophy, compounded by flawed logic and fueled by rage & frustration, that manifests itself by extreme & very lethal acts of violence.





Let me make something perfectly clear – the Fort Hood shootings were an act of terrorism, perpetuated by American Traitor and Islamic Fundamentalist terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan. The fact that he was homegrown in no way differentiates from anything al Qaeda has pulled off other than the fact that he was a self-starter.

Consider, for example, Hasan’s choice of weaponry:



The FN Five-Seven — manufactured by FN Herstal, is a semi-automatic pistol chambered for a 5.7x28mm rifle cartridge. The weapon is popular in law enforcement SWAT roles, where criminals wearing body armor may be encountered.


A hallmark of Self-Induced Jihad Syndrome is extraordinary and extremely lethal means of inflicting mass casualties over a relatively brief period of time.


Of course the PC Police are going to jump all over me for using the term ‘jihad’ in connection with terrorism – to this I have two things to say: A) I am not now, nor have I ever been, “politically correct”, and B) I am not limiting “Self-Induced Jihad Syndrome” to Muslims.




According to my contemplations, Oklahoma City Bombers Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were consumed by Self-Induced Jihad Syndrome.


SJS Indicators:

Reading material inspiring dangerous thought patterns:








The Turner Diaries, a novel written in 1978 by William Luther Pierce (former leader of the white Nationalist organization National Alliance) under the pseudonym "Andrew Macdonald" depicting a violent revolution in the United States which leads to the overthrow of the United States federal government, nuclear war, and, ultimately, to the extermination of all Jews and non-whites.






Disturbing, inappropriate comments:

FORT HOOD Texas (AP): Muslim Leader had Troubling Talks with Suspect



Those inflicted by SJS are mostly young males who view themselves as oppressed:



The 7 July 2005 suicide bombing attack on London's public transport system was carried out by four British Muslim men, Mohammad Sidique Khan (age 30 - of Pakistani descent), Shehzad Tanweer (age 22 - of Pakistani descent), Hasib Hussain (age 18 - of Pakistani descent), and Germaine Lindsay (19) (of Jamaican descent, converted to Islam), all of whom were motivated by Britain's involvement in the Iraq War.


Those inflicted by SJS view themselves as soldiers, although they belong to no army:


" . . . We are at war and I am a soldier . . ."

- Mohammad Sidique Khan in video aired by Al Jazeera





An exception to the angry young male stereotype for SJS inflicted individuals is 88-year old James Wenneker von Brunn, indicted suspect of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum shooting incident:







von Brunn was charged and indicted in federal court on June 11, 2009, with seven counts of first-degree murder and firearms violations, four which make him eligible for the death penalty.
















According to the six-page indictment, von Brunn entered the building and shot security guard Stephen Tyrone Johns, who died from his injuries.









von Brunn is a white supremacist and Holocaust denier. von Brunn holds a BSc in Journalism, served as a PT Boat commander during World War II, worked as an advertising executive and film producer for twenty years and was a member of MENSA, the high-IQ society.

von Brunn is also the author of many antisemitic essays, created an antisemitic website called The Holy Western Empire, and is the author of a 1999 self-published book, Kill the Best Gentiles, which praises Adolf Hitler and denies the Holocaust. He is an Obama citizenship conspiracy theorist, is vehemently opposed the Iraq War, and feels that the September 11 attacks were an "inside job".


Although operating under flawed, confused logic, those inflicted with Self-Induced Jihad Syndrome are typically persons of higher intelligence.


A feeling of righteousness pervades the thought process of those succumbing to SJS:




John Allen Muhammed, the DC Sniper, suffered Self-Induced Jihad Syndrome.







"He made me a monster" - Lee Boyd Malvo







His accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, did not suffer from SJS – he is living proof that young minds are impressionable, and that a teenager can be convinced to do almost anything.


A final word – do not think that because I have identified SJS as some kind of mental condition, that this translates into: “These people are mentally ill and therefore are victims themselves.” Have a little faith – you don’t read STORMBRINGER to be exposed to this kind of nonsense.

Those who succumb to Self-Induced Jihad Syndrome are a special type of criminal - a type of serial killer, and they are also terrorists – and they need to be treated the same way.

Some thoughts on appropriate punishment for these types of criminals? I like the way Charles Barkley said it; “If I was Governor, there wouldn’t be a Death Row, there’d be a Death WEEK.”

FORT HOOD SHOOTINGS

Army Major Nadal Malik Hasan

- Licensed psychiatrist, Drug and Rehab specialist,

American Muslim Terrorist





I was out in the field this afternoon when the news broke on the shootings at Fort Hood. By the time I returned to the office and logged on, I learned the terrible news.

The immediate reaction in the room was that this must be PTSD. Of course, the first reports indicated three gunmen – this turned out to be wrong, of course, but I commented that PTSD is a solitary phenomena; it does not manifest itself in groups.

As it turned out, this just might be the first ever recorded case of PRE-TSD; it turns out that Hasan was under orders, but had not yet deployed.


This event is very disturbing, on so many levels. The Army is my family; I bleed green. When the Army takes it like this, everyone in our extended Army family hurts - BAD.


I find it difficult to concentrate this evening; it is hard to write this post. Like my mentor Doc Cheasty used to say, "This is a hard suck, man."


Back in September I posted WE ARE UNDER ATTACK. My premise has not changed: America is seeing an increase in the tempo of domestic jihad-inspired terrorist self-starters.

In addition to the three cases I detailed on 26 September, here are some other notable developments 2009 has produced:


May 12, 2009, Oussama Kassir was convicted of charges related to his participation in an effort to establish a jihad training camp in Oregon and his operation of several terrorist Web sites containing instructions about how to make bombs and poisons. Kassir was found guilty of all 11 charges against him, including providing material support to al-Qaeda and distributing information on explosives and weapons of mass destruction.


May 20, 2009, four individuals - James Cromitie, David Williams, Onta Williams and Laguerre Payen - were arrested on charges arising from a plot to detonate explosives near a synagogue in the Bronx, N.Y., and to shoot Stinger surface-to-air guided missiles at military planes located at a the National Guard Base at Stewart Airport in Newburgh, N.Y. On June 2, 2009, all four defendants were charged in an eight-count indictment and face potential life in prison, if convicted.

All of them converted to Islam while in prison.




April 28, 29, 2009, five individuals -- Mohamad Ibrahim Shnewer, brothers Dritan Duka, Shain Duka and Eljvir Duka and Serdar Tatar -- received sentences ranging from 33 years in prison, to life in prison plus 30 years, for plotting to kill U.S. soldiers in an armed attack on the military base in Fort Dix, New Jersey. All five individuals were convicted at trial in December 2008.

These terrorist pigs get their day in court - the many victims of terrorism do not enjoy that option.







On April 30, 2009, Ali al-Marri pleaded guilty to conspiracy to provide material support to al-Qaeda, admitting that he attended terrorist training camps, learned al-Qaeda tradecraft and was dispatched by al-Qaeda to carry out its terrorist objectives in America.

To be fair, part of my personal philosophy views all terrorists as the same, regardless of ideological or political stance. That is all posturing. Example: in the 1980s the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya mounted a bombing campaign against US and British targets in Europe. Several of the bombings were carried out on their behalf by the Baader-Meinhof gang, a secular group of Communists, who typically embrace aetheism and actively persecute religion.

Also in the 1980s, the Provisional Irish Republican Army, a group of largely Catholic membership, received support and training from not only Libya and other Arab terrorist groups, but also the Soviet Union.





Question: What is the difference between Timothy McVeigh and John Allen Muhammad?


Answer: Muhammed hasn't been executed yet.







That is the ONLY difference.




It is all the same; terrorism is always the same. It doesn't matter whether it's Islamic-themed, or Neo-Nazi, or Communist-inspired, terrorism is always the same: it is sheer lunacy, plain and simple. The terrorist ethos if flawed logic. They cry out "Injustice!" and yet they are willing to commit the most horrific crimes in the world, in the name of equality and fairness. Eh???


A terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist, and they are all scum.


As for the Fort Hood shooter, Nadal Hasan, as one officer's wife said, "I wish his name was Smith."

The Army families at Fort Hood are so sick and tired of this war; pushed upon us by Islamic Fundamentalist terrorists, and yet that wife knows the deal about terrorists.


For Americans who don't know about it, who've never been over there: this is a little taste of what Israel experiences, all the time.


Our prayers are with the victims and their families this day in Fort Hood, Texas . . . . . . . . . STORMBRINGER SENDS
