    After the Candlelight Vigils: Where Islam and the Left Meet

    Posted on December 6, 2016 by Dymphna

    The inevitable rape-murder of Maria Ladenburger and the subsequent dhimmi reaction of her parents isn’t a new phenomenon. It has many parallels to the life and death of other modern martyr mythologies in the grand designs of Leftism. The questions following her murder brought to mind, immediately, the death of Daniel Pearl. After his grisly execution, his family began walking the same torturous path Maria’s parents have chosen in their turn.
    In the Daniel Pearl case, what was never mentioned by any family member — or by any MSM journalist for that matter — was his poor judgment in choosing to go to Pakistan in the first place. There are many things that families and/or cultures can never permit themselves to know. In Daniel Pearl’s case the great unspoken-but-obvious truth is simple: Jewish Americans with any sense of discernment realize instinctively their extreme value in the propaganda war. Their capture and subsequent executions are prime fodder for Jihad, Inc.
    For someone not in bondage to the neo-Marxist mythos underlying Leftist sensibilities, the questions come easily: so he chose to be a journalist? Good for him — does that mean he abandons all sense of self-protection? If you’re a Leftist, it most certainly does mean a kind of exquisite, entitled carelessness. Your cause is just and your heart is pure; both will keep you safe. Daniel’s father, Judea Pearl, has never once questioned the wisdom of his son’s decision to travel into that hellhole to “investigate” the Sheikh most likely behind the grooming of the shoe bomber.
    For that was the reason for Pearl’s visit to Pakistan: to meet with the person who trained that whingeing “terrorist”, Richard Reid. No one asks the painful questions about the essential triviality of Daniel Pearl’s quest to understand the origins of this kind of behavior. Anyone who hasn’t sipped the Kool-Aid could have told him the story behind the story without leaving home. But Pearl’s thinking was formed in the outmoded mainstream media cowboy journalism of “exclusive” in-person interviews. Obviously, he didn’t realize his own value to the killer, a value that could exist only in the Western technology and Western media outlets. They would cooperate with Jihad, Inc. by dependably and eternally replaying that video of Pearl’s execution.
    The Committee to Protect Journalists wrote about Pearl’s death four years later, in 2006 But this report never addressed the basic issue, which is that western reporters flying solo don’t belong in the Middle East. Without being accompanied by sufficient numbers of competent bodyguards, it’s a suicide mission.
    […]
    Pearl traveled to Pakistan at a particularly tense time, according to Bruce Hoffman, a terrorism expert at the Rand Corp. in Washington. With the fall of the Taliban regime in neighboring Afghanistan in December 2001, militants were pushed out. “When they lost their geographical center of gravity in Afghanistan, they went to Pakistan, which was something of a haven because they had longstanding relations with existing (militant Islamist) groups.”…
    Pearl had been researching a radical Islamic leader, Sheikh Mubarak Gilani, who had been linked to the so-called “shoe bomber” Richard Reid. Reid tried to blow up an American Airlines flight from Paris to Miami in December 2001. To find his way to Gilani, Pearl did what reporters do every day — he reached out to new contacts and made himself accessible. That also made him a target, Hoffman said. “It is a question of opportunism and access. A reporter has to chase a story, making him or her more vulnerable.”
    Got that part of the mythos? Pearl did what reporters do every day — he reached out to new contacts and made himself accessible.[…] A reporter has to chase a story, making him or her more vulnerable.”
    No he doesn’t need to do that. “Chasing stories” through hellholes in Pakistan is hubris. It’s 20th-century cowboy “journalism”, and it demonstrates concretely Daniel Pearl’s deep ignorance about Islam. But to say these obvious truths out loud is to violate The Narrative; his grisly execution is proof of something meaningful. Daniel Pearl, martyr for first-hand reportage.
    Those who have researched Sheikh Gilani are under no illusions about his murderous intents toward non-Muslims, particularly Americans. See Gates of Vienna’s archives on Gilani and his American followers, “The Muslims of America”, here.

    Pearl must have known that Gilani was persona non grata in America. Before he left home for Pakistan, surely Pearl was cognizant of Gilani’s terrorist recruitment among the population of disaffected black American felons? Did Pearl’s research include contact with anyone in government intel to ask for background information on this murderer? The CPJ organization quoted above is well aware of the danger, as this 2014 report details.
    They even have a database of dead journalists dating back to 1992, enumerating the dangers of reporting from the Middle East.
    Now Pearl’s afterlife is that of a martyr. He has books and movies attesting to his courage. And most importantly, a foundation in his name. But none of those invested in The Cause is saying (nor will they ever say) “going to Pakistan was a dumb idea”.
    No Israeli Jew has the luxury of that kind of ideological foolishness. At the very least his mother, father, and wife would have tried to stop him. But in America, we are protected by distance; we can afford ideological purity. After the flowers have faded, we are never forced to reflect on events. Instead we immediately go about the business of building monuments, of starting foundations in the name of the martyred.

    The drama of the death of this young medical student in Germany displays the same disordered ideological feelings shown by the Left in America when Daniel Pearl died. That’s why it seems familiar. Don’t forget, over half of our registered voters went for Hillary. This is the same group who feel (they don’t think anymore) Daniel Pearl is a hero.
    Thus the futility of the question posed by Politically Incorrect in our previous post:
    The family now has to live with the gruelling truth about the death of their daughter, namely that they have sacrificed their own child to the moral-imperialistic hubris of the operators and supporters of this “welcoming culture”. How do the parents intend to live with this immense burden?
    It’s quite possible to live with “this immense burden” if you’re a suicidal leftist whose greatest fear is not being killed, raped, or beaten by immigrants. Instead, you will do everything in your power to avoid the occasion of mortal sin, i.e., being labeled A Racist. The Ladenburgers will sink ever more deeply into their delusions about immigration rather than risk such a social/moral annihilation. Dragging their other daughters with them, Maria’s family will simply make the rest of their lives a monument to their daughter’s death. Busy with the foundation in her name that is sure to come, their all-consuming work will prevent them from ever having to face the extent of their own culpability. Their child was simply an accidental — now imperative — sacrifice for the New Germany. If it is further necessary to put their remaining children on the altar of Eternal Immigration, that will be done, too. Such is the burden of the Elites. The Marias of Germany are collateral damage in the war against Racism, the broken eggs of this poisonous neo-Marxist Merkelian omelet.
    More permanent than candles or teddy bears or flowers, foundations erected in the martyr’s name often end up as large grease machines that permit life to go on. These all-consuming family monuments to the Maria Ladenburgers and the Daniel Pearls become their family business; there is no other way to avoid the truth while preserving The Narrative. Don’t you wonder what Maria, at the moment of her death, would have decided had she been given a choice? Don’t be too quick to underestimate the thoroughness of her indoctrination. Like Rachel Corrie and other martyrs for The Cause, she might have decided for death rather than risk being labeled A Racist.
    For leftists, death is not the worst thing. Far more dreaded is being perceived by others as A Racist. Better to build a monument to Death than to be forced to live with the huge red “R” branded on your being. In their world it is never what you say you are, it is always what Others decide about who you are. Unlike the swiftly changing and endless enlargement of the choices to be had in sexual identity, this form of Identity Politics is binary. When Others decide you are Racist, there is no reprieve.
    There may even be a perverted pride to be found, when your culture is dying, in helping it along. A cultural euthanasia, perhaps? Thus a main pillar in the West’s Leftist mythos, Death Before Racism aligns with and complements Death For Allah.
    Is this the yin and yang of the Left’s Immigration Creed?

    Brian Williams Complains About Fake News After Losing Job for Fake News

    "There's been a lot of coverage in the real news about the growing and booming business of creating fake news"

    MSNBC’s Brian Williams bemoaned the prevalence of “fake news” Wednesday evening despite losing his job with NBC’s Nightly News last year for spreading fake news.
    Williams, who lost his position as NBC anchor in 2015 after lying about being under RPG fire while in a helicopter during the Iraq war, warned viewers of the “growing and booming” business of fabricated content.

    “And lately there’s been a lot of coverage in the real news about the growing and booming business of creating fake news,” Williams said.
    The disgraced anchor also lamented the Trump transition team for spreading “fake news” post-election.

    “Fake news played a role in this election and continues to find a wide audience,” Williams added.
    Social media was quick to criticize Williams following the report for what they saw as both hypocrisy and irony.
    While the term “fake news” initially refered to websites that knowingly published fictional stories, the establishment press, whose approval rating among the public is at an all-time low, has now aimed the term at the increasingly popular independent media.As argued by Infowars’ Paul Joseph Watson, the mainstream media’s fake news is the only fake news that has resulted in actual damage.

    “The entire ‘fake news’ narrative being pushed by the mainstream media has nothing whatsoever to do with concerns over people being misled,” Watson says. “If that were the case, the mainstream media itself would stop habitually lying to the American people and its trustworthiness wouldn’t be in the toilet.”
    They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.

    They Just Keep Gettin' Crazier and Crazier

    [FONT="arial" ]"Special Ed" Schultz: Formerly of the MSNBC Loony Bin[/FONT]

    WFB- Nebraska Democratic Party chair Jane Kleeb said in an interview with RT that she is afraid Russia and Saudi Arabia will build oil pipelines through the United States while Donald Trump is president.

    Kleeb brought up her concern while speaking with host Ed Schultz about the the ongoing controversy surrounding the Dakota Access Pipeline project and her strong opposition to the Keystone XL Pipeline.

    “You know what Trump is saying, that he’s going to get rid of the executive order that requires the State Department to review any pipeline that crosses our U.S. border. And that’s obviously very dangerous because if he does that, that means a pipeline from Saudi Arabia, Russia, whoever that wants to cross into the United States would literally have no federal oversight, no review, no environmental review. No federal agency right now other than the State Department reviews those pipelines when it crosses one of our borders, so he’s being reckless.”
    Schultz is currently a host on RT, a television network funded by the Russian government that critics argue is a propaganda tool of the Kremlin.

    Video Here

    Guess she has a point, I wouldn't want a bunch of Saudis or Ruskies digging a ditch half way around the world, and then digging up my azaleas and patio putting a pipeline through my backyard just because Donald Trump says so either...... Azaleas Lives Matter!

    LOL: Armed Thugs Pose for Mannequin Challenge… Get Arrested!

    Team Crowder Thursday December 8 2016




    There’s been a new “challenge” making its way around the internets called the Mannequin Challenge. If you aren’t familiar, congratulations on having a job. We’ll catch you up to speed. The challenge is to pose frozen mid-action. Sure, it may sound vapid, but everyone’s been doing it. And by everyone, I mean internet dweebs and Ellen DeGeneres.
    Well, a gaggle of thugs decided to get in on the action. Spoiler: it didn’t end up working out too great for them…



    A heavily armed mannequin challenge in Alabama resulted in the arrests of two men for firearms and drug possession. The video, posted to Facebook, shows 22 men standing completely still and brandishing guns…
    Madison County Sheriff’s Capt. Mike Salomonsky said someone sent the video online to the sheriff’s office, prompting an investigation.
    SWAT teams stormed the residence and cleared the scene before a search was conducted. Authorities seized marijuana packets, two handguns, an assault rifle, a shotgun, several rounds of ammunition, magazines and a computer.



    Law enforcement officers… were flabbergasted that people would have the audacity to film a mannequin challenge at the same location where they allegedly sell drugs.
    Surprise! Those guns were illegal (see New Study Finds HUGE Percentage of Criminals Use Illegal Guns…). This isn’t an “Onion” story by the way. It’s as real as the boomsticks on their persons.
    <img class=" wp-image-29923 aligncenter" src="http://louderwithcrowder.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Laughclapreaction.gif" alt="Laughclapreaction" width="489" height="275"/>
    It didn’t take long for the police to find and arrest these muttonheads. On account of them providing photographic evidence of their illegal guns and whatnot. By the way, what are twenty “hardcore” dudes doing posing together for internet fame? Doesn’t sound so thuggish, but rather flaming…


    <img class="size-full wp-image-30977 aligncenter" src="http://louderwithcrowder.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/ZQbql0J.gif" alt="ZQbql0J" width="512" height="212"/>
    But kudos to these guys for documenting their stupidity for the rest of us. I, for one, am liking this challenge far more than any of the others so far…

    Expert Joy Behar Decries Trump's EPA Pick, Says He Caused '907 Earthquakes' in OK

    This is the brain trust at The View.

    12.9.2016
    News
    Tiffany Gabbay





    Where would Americans be without the brain trust at The View informing their opinions about government, national security, the economy, health care, taxes, the environment, and just about every other important issue we face as a nation?
    Lucky for us then that Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg weighed in on President-elect Trump's choice of Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to head the Environmental Protection Agency.
    According to those two Mensas, Pruitt will usher in an era of mass pollution, where Flint-quality water becomes the norm across the nation, and where Americans will need to wear SARS masks to filter out the contaminated air we breathe. Is there any basis to the cackling coffee clatch's hysteria? Why, yes. Yes there is. Apparently Pruitt is already responsible for 907 earthquakes hitting his home state.
    "Why don't they just call it the environmental pollution agency instead of the environmental protection agency because he is going to dismantle everything in place -- the air you breathe, the water you drink," lamented Behar.
    "I mean, what he's done in Oklahoma is not that great either. I don't understand why he met with Al Gore, what was the purpose of that?"
    Not that we agree that anyone in the Trump administration should give Al Gore the time of day, but how typical of the dour Left to not even entertain the idea of accepting that rather generous olive-branch.
    Behar continued, snarling, "Okay. There were 907 earthquakes in Oklahoma last year and they say they were caused by the oil and gas production. How is he helping Oklahoma?"
    When asked by her co-host who said that oil and gas production causes earthquakes, Behar replied "the EPA, I guess."
    They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.

    The Center for Disease Control has released data showing that for the first time ever, deaths as a result of heroin surpassed gun homicides nationwide. And while many Democrats believe confiscation is the answer to solving the “gun epidemic,” they want drugs legalized and decriminalized. Their logic is mystifying.
    From The Washington Post:
    Opioid deaths continued to surge in 2015, surpassing 30,000 for the first time in recent history, according to CDC data released Thursday.
    That marks an increase of nearly 5,000 deaths from 2014. Deaths involving powerful synthetic opiates, like fentanyl, rose by nearly 75 percent from 2014 to 2015.
    Heroin deaths spiked too, rising by more than 2,000 cases. For the first time since at least the late 1990s, there were more deaths due to heroin than to traditional opioid painkillers, like hydrocodone and oxycodone…
    In a grim milestone, more people died from heroin-related causes than from gun homicides in 2015. As recently as 2007, gun homicides outnumbered heroin deaths by more than 5 to 1.
    As the report states, the Obama administration called for and passed in Congress a $1 billion spending bill that would include funding for treatment and prevention. According to the National Drug Control Policy’s Michael Botticelli, too many people don’t seek help to overcome their addictions.
    The use of heroin boomed after the federal government tightened regulations on prescription painkillers in the late ‘90s and into the 2000s causing users to turn to the black market for their fix. And that’s why Democrats see the need to decriminalize illicit drugs.
    A director of the national Drug Policy Alliance, Grant Smith, said, “Criminalization drives people to the margins and dissuades them from getting help. It drives a wedge between people who need help and the services they need. Because of criminalization and stigma, people hide their addictions from others.”
    To recap: when someone is killed with a gun, Democrats want to make them harder to get. When people die using heroin, Democrats want to make drugs easier to get. Any questions?
    They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
