Kent State and Jihad-gate

Mike S. Adams follows up on this story.

...In Kent State’s recent defense of Pino, the administration tried unsuccessfully to establish at least three important points. Below I have restated these three points and explained why they are all little more than camel poop in a desert of administrative obfuscation:

1. There is no evidence linking Julio Pino to the Jihadist “Global War” blog.

One of the problems Kent State had with the blanket denial of Pino’s involvement with “Global War” is that his department chair had already admitted that Pino had admitted to him that he “contributed” to the blog. While this information did not hit the mainstream media until the day after the Kent State denial, I already knew it. The $64,000 question is: “How could the Kent State administration not have known it?”

And, if they really did not know, does this mean that Pino’s chair knew but did not tell the administration?

While the denials of Kent State have mainly hurt the university, there are other victims. One is conservative columnist Mike Adams. When the university said there was no link between “Global War” and Pino they were calling into question my journalistic integrity. And Pino supporters even wrote my bosses accusing me of defamation.

Now that the smoke has cleared, I am demanding an apology from Kent State. Until I get one, just send your Kent State alumni donations to the following address:

DrAdams.org
Attention: Mike Adams
P.O. Box 319
Wrightsville Beach, NC, 28480

Please note that a) no ticking packages will be opened and, b) $.25 will be refunded to Julio Pino in order to compensate for any damages I may have caused to his professional reputation. I will even let him keep the change as a gesture of good will.

2. There is no evidence to suggest that Julio Pino has been engaged in pro-terrorist activity using Kent State resources.

Actually there is plenty. I have received hard evidence that Pino’s Kent State email address (jpino@kent.edu) has been used to disseminate his pro-Jihadist views. I also have evidence that Kent State equipment has been used in the activity. Because there is some possibility that the evidence has been tampered with I made arrangements – only about four hours ago - with FBI agents who will confiscate all evidence from my hard drive in order to make that determination. I’m Sorry Julio but I just had to get the counter-terrorism unit involved.

Read it all.

s_sgt7,

Don't waste your money on courses about Islam in many of the Bay Area universities. After all, once you're retired you won't have much of a budget to work with (especially since the Bay Area is so f***ing expensive). You know they'll whitewash a lot of stuff and they'll focus more on the so-called Golden Age. Honestly, you can learn a lot by reading the Qu'ran and other Islamic materials, as well as books by Mr. Spencer et al.

If anything, find some Arabic classes offered in the area. I'm sure Cal will have some Arabic courses. Of course the big risk is you'll have to put up with a lot of kefiyyeh-wearing college jihadists.

I find it incredible that Universities would espouse ideas and ideologies that would lead to their disappearance, their utter destruction. In communism, islamism and other ism’s, the University doesn’t even exist as they have it here in the USA today. So what gives, is this some kind of self destructive suicidal mental illness that we are seeing? What ever it is, how long do we tolerate predators like these? We are paying them a salary to plot the destruction of all of us, to murder our youth who they should be teaching. Sick!

You're right, but there is nothing that says we shouldnt have some fun with this 'death cult' thing. I for one, have been feeling very hopless about the m, but after today I see they are nothing more that clowns, very determined clowns, but clowns none the less.

The real story is going to be the "known associates" file of Julio when dead bodies start showing up.

Then when the lawsuits start against Kent State their cowardly president (you can not log emails to anyone at Kent State and only phone calls to screeners as they are that in touch with the community) will really have a problem on his hands.

Ohio is a hot bed of terrorist planning and Kent State is paying one of their fire starters 65,000 dollars a year to spew it.

s_sgt7,

A good way to organize anything you record is by using an iPod. If you don't have one, then get one, and also get a recorder that works with the iPod. You can organize those recordings on Itunes. If I have the time I want to do the same thing. I want to infiltrate any interfaith kumbaya meeting, any Da'wa event, any protest put up by the local MSA when "islamophobes" speak on any college campus, or even a mosque open house. I guess I'll have more time next semester.

I could write up a long list of professors whose work is crafted on behalf of the Global Sharia cause. But you already know about these "scholars."

610 * 623 * 732 * 1066 * 1215 * 1453 * 1492 * 1683 * 1928 * 1938 * 1948 * 1996 * 2001

But, does anybody have a list of professors who whose work on Islam is objective, factual, well corroborated, and accurate?

I have a "top 10" partial list of such professors, if that'd help. Here they are:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Is Pino's site still hacked?

OT Anyone remember the black guy in NYC who was shot to death by police on the nite before his wedding? 50 rounds, no less.
A guy just got busted who was in jail and trying to get the NYC Police Chief beheaded. He said he was enraged over the shooting. He was also trying to hire the same person to bomb the NYPD Headquarters and make it look like Terrorism. He made the mistake of trying to hire an undercover cop to do the deeds. The words, beheaded, enraged and boms in the same news report make me suspicious. He also had that under the chin beard.

I'm sure it will turn out he is simply mentally ill.

Posted by: auntbea [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 6, 2007 1:58 PM

auntbea,
I thought the guy was shot by mostly black police officers? Under the chin beard + behead the chief = islamist. Maybe this will finally get the attention of the chiefs around the country. Get a handle on this or you may be next. This pino ordeal underlines the fact that as ciar says we don’t need racial profiling, but we do need ideological profiling. It has little to do with race and everything to do with ideology. Is there a law against ideological profiling? I don’t think so.

Not only do universities espouse such ideas--they condone them all under the umbrella of political correctness and tolerance. As a former teaching assistant at N.Eastern private religious college, I can assure you that this scourge is everywhere. Textbooks are routinely filled with blatant Anti-American, Anti-Western, and Anti-Christian propaganda.

A reader that I had to use for my Rhet comp class had 3/4 devoted to a conversation about terrorism. Naturally, most of the essays were decidedly against the US. I refused to deal with this content and provided my students with classic essays by Orwell, Hemingway, etc instead. But I was in the minority. Most of my colleagues liked to teach "controversial" topics and took every opportunity to take pot shots at Western/American/Christian culture and beliefs and, in fact, felt it was their duty to "open up the kids minds."

The culture and climate of the University is so poisoned that legitimate scholarship is often impossible. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say, I abandoned my Phd program because I cannot and will not teach/research in that environment......

"... his department chair had already admitted that Pino had admitted to him that he “contributed” to the blog."

This single statement confirms that Pino was indeed aware of the blog's existence and acted as an accesory after the fact by not reporting that knowledge to his superiors. There can be no other determination but that of tacit approval at least, and active support at worst. Both of which should be sufficient to have Pino immediately discharged. Any support of terrorist activity and indoctrination is incitement to mass murder. Appropriate charges should be filed by federal authorities.

isolde,
We need you and others just like you to carry the battle to the enemy on campus. Make no mistake, the battle on campus is just as important as any military operation. In our struggle we need bullets and bombs as well as books and teachers. Something I find interesting is the fact that a professor led the fight on little round top at Gettysburg, so there is no doubt there is historical precedence for the fighting teacher.
http://www.americanmastersgallery.com/herolittlernd.html
It is up to the military to confront the enemy today, it is up to you to mold the next generation of Americans for the fight we face tomorrow. It is people like you that have always made me proud to be an American.

"I find it incredible that Universities would espouse ideas and ideologies that would lead to their disappearance, their utter destruction."

Try telling that to morons like Rosie O'Donnell who idiotically paints Christian fundamentalism as being a greater danger than Islamic fundamentalism. She and her lesbian pals would be first in line for beheading when the Islamists took charge.

"So what gives, is this some kind of self destructive suicidal mental illness that we are seeing?"

Behold, tgusa, it is the logical conclusion that results from decades of America's children being taughtclaptrap like Moral Relativism and Altruism. Garbage like:

1.) One can never know anything for sure.

2.) There is no "right" or "wrong", only shades of gray.

3.) One mustn't judge other cultures against the standards of our own.

4.) The only good things you do are those that you do for others and not for yourself.

This is the sort of diseased horseradish that academia has infected our childrens' minds with. It has robbed them of moral certitude and crippled any ability to critically analyze information or situations they are exposed to. It makes possible indoctrination by the very worst elements of cults, the underworld, fanatical organizations and the like.

For those unfamiliar with the above four points, let's refute each of them categorically.

1.) There are things I know for sure. The sun will rise tomorrow. I will not waste a single moment upon speculating otherwise as it would merely connote the world's end and thereby be of zero value to consider.

2.) I know that there is right and wrong. When is rape ever right or justified? Even if there was only one woman left on earth and humanity's continuation depended upon her pregnancy, raping her would only guarantee her hostility to any offspring arising from such a vile act. Need I go on about sharia law as well?

3.) "Judge not lest ye be judged", is a load of crap. We live and die by our judgments every single day. Do I get in a car with someone I judge to be intoxicated? Do I cross the street in front of a speeding truck? Do I let this person wearing a utility service's uniform but no photo badge into my home? Our very lives depend upon judging people and situations accurately. So it is with other cultures as well. We must have certain inviolable standards in how we live our lives, treat other people and expect them to treat us.

4.) And finally, the most virulent and fatal poison of all; Altruism. If I do not do anything good for myself, how can I improve my own situation enough to avoid being a burden upon others and society in general? If I am unworthy of my own good acts how can they possibly be of any use to others?

Altruism breeds a sense of self-loathing. The same sort of self-loathing you see in those liberals who are ashamed of being Americans and despise our nation for its greatness even though they themselves are the primary beneficiaries of its largesse. Altruism also promotes the incredibly vile notion of “zero sum” transactional analysis, whereby in order for one person to gain another must lose.

Altruism facilitates the sort of twisted anti-Americanism that claims our nation’s greatness is wholly derived from exploiting or impoverishing others. This breeds an insidious sense of elitism in many liberals and manifests in such horridly racist balderdash as: “We must lift up our deprived brown brothers” and other such nonsense. We owe nothing to anybody beyond adhering to the social contract in good faith.

If you have ever wondered where Political Correctness came from, look no further than Altruism. This is the same Political Correctness that is hobbling our ability to fight terrorism on all levels. Read Dr. John Lewis’ treatise on defeating Iran’s Islamic theocracy once more for insight:

Altruism leads to the same conclusion. To fight for our own benefit—to elevate our lives over those of our enemies—is almost universally condemned today as selfish and thus “immoral.” A moral war, according to altruism, is a war fought self-sacrificially, for the good of others, especially for the weak. It is only by a continuous policy of aiding others that we can rise to moral goodness. Even restrained, limited military action is wrong, if taken for our own benefit. In this view, a strong power is good only when it recognizes the moral claims of those in need—even enemies and their supporters. The route to peace is not through victory, since altruism (“otherism”) cannot abide the defeat of others. The “path to tomorrow” is through the sacrifice of our own wealth, values, and lives to the needs of others—even those who threaten us. Again, their freedom must be our goal—their prosperity must be our mission—if we wish to be “good.”

Pragmatism and altruism dictate American foreign policy today—as they have done for over fifty years. To be practical is to be pragmatic, and to be moral is to be altruistic—these are the accepted axioms of the modern day. An all-out offensive response, in this view, would be an utter disaster—pragmatically because it holds to principles in defiance of constantly shifting reality, and morally because it seeks the enemy’s defeat rather than his benefit. On the premises of pragmatism and altruism, the measured, proportional, restrained approach is our only option.

(Link: http://www.theobjectivestandard.com/issues/2006-winter/no-substitute-for-victory.asp )


The gruesome specter of Political Correctness looms large in the preceding passages. It is a principal reason we are not making substantial progress in fighting terrorism. Political Correctness, in combination with the other factors I have cited above has inculcated huge portions of the American population with moral uncertainty and thusly, we are unable to condemn something so visibly evil as Islam and its sharia law.

The inability to discriminate between right and wrong enfeebles one’s own sense of good judgment. This makes it possible to accept or at least refuse to judge blatantly Neanderthal ideologies like Islam. Just as it enables subscription to such obviously flawed socio-political constructs like communism and socialism as workable solutions.

This is what our young have been taught since the late 1950s and the moral cancer it breeds has spread so far and wide that our nation is filled with self-loathing morons like Rosie O’Donnell who refuse to understand that they are inviting their own doom. This nation is filled with democrats who see nothing wrong in recruiting Muslims to help vote out the republican administration. Muslims who will just as quickly behead those same democrats and all of their liberal, gay and hedonistic followers the instant they can impose sharia law upon us.

I weep for America. We must overcome this monstrous external threat to our very existence whilst academics poison the minds of our youth and Political Correctness cripples our ability to wage the Total War needed for our survival. The democrats' fascination with Political Correctness may soon see them labeled as traitors to America.

I’m just sayin. If it were a gang of white cops the media would be all over it. I was presuming the offender was trying to get back at the establishment, who are viewed even by obl and his henchmen as primarily whitey, remember, kill whitey? I took them at their word. I was trying, perhaps lamely, to point out that it wasn’t a racial shooting in any way. It doesn’t mean anything to me but try to tell the rest of society and the islamists it doesn’t matter. If the guy threatened the police be they black or white they have every right to respond.

I saw that story this morning and thought the same thing. I don't know how useful it is if turns out that he has no association with Islam, that's why I was hesitant to send it to Robert.

Incidentally, besides wanting to behead Ray Kelly and blow up NYPD headquarters, the man allegedly said, "I want them to feel like I'm a mother------ terrorist."

In a lot of European countries this sadly already means virtually risking your life. There are already enough examples of people speaking out publicly and openly against muslim extremism and warning thereof who cannot leave their house without bodyguards anymore.
