Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Kerry: Media should cover terrorism less so that “people wouldn’t know what’s going on”

Aug 29, 2016 5:41 pm By Robert Spencer

You see, he wants people not to know what’s going on, so that they don’t start in any significant numbers demanding real action and an honest approach to the motivating ideology behind jihad terror. He wants to keep people ignorant and complacent so that they don’t question the administration’s suicidal approach to the jihad threat and the Muslim migrant influx.

JOHN KERRY-STATE DEPARTMENT-AP-JOHN DHARAPAK_0

“Kerry in Bangladesh: Media Should Cover Terrorism Less,” by Jeryl Bier, Weekly Standard, August 29, 2016:

During Secretary of State John Kerry’s first official visit to Bangladesh, he met with top Bangladeshi government officials and held a press conference at the Edward M. Kennedy Center in Dhaka. In light of recent terror attacks in that country, Kerry addressed the problem of terrorism, including root causes and how the terrorists spread their message. The secretary said that the media could “do us all a service” by reducing coverage of terror attacks:

Remember this: No country is immune from terrorism. It’s easy to terrorize. Government and law enforcement have to be correct 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. But if you decide one day you’re going to be a terrorist and you’re willing to kill yourself, you can go out and kill some people. You can make some noise. Perhaps the media would do us all a service if they didn’t cover it quite as much. People wouldn’t know what’s going on. (Applause.)…

    War is Peace
    Ignorance is Strength
    Freedom is Slavery

    and more recently:

    Islam is Peace

    The last is only a slight modification to the first of the three EngSoc Party slogans.

          Trump’s businesses have massive, nine figure debts, and it’s no secret that the King of Debt (his claim, not mine) is a publicity hound who has been monetizing his name through deals to put it on properties owned by others. So, Trump wins whether he becomes president or not.

          If elected, Trump gains enormous leverage over his lenders. If Trump loses the election, he can convert his enhanced publicity into new deals to retire some debts thereby improving his equity position.

          this is for allan, who’s lack of math skills & understanding of business is laughable.Trump’s debt ratio (assets/liabilities) is quite healthy. If you have billions in assets and 650 million in debt, you’re not in debt, you have more than enough to cover the total. It’s likely that much of this borrowing was used to secure properties currently being rented- at vast and continual profit. If I borrow 100 dollars and do something with it that generates 200 dollars, I can continue to remain in that debt situationally. Trump is a successful business man, already has the money & power that motivates typical politicians. he doesn’t need this job. we need him, his amazing business acumen,& his understanding of how destructive & dangerous our lousy immigration policies are.

    Interestingly the quote came from the Weekly Standard. This magazine, like the National Review, used to be a solid magazine advocating strong conservative fundamentals.

    Sadly both of these two magazines appear to be unable to differentiate between Clinton and Trump. While Trump may not necessarily be a desirable candidate in absolute terms, he is certainly distinguishable from and vastly preferable to Clinton. At this point, this fact should obvious to any Conservative Republican.

    It only rings hollow when National Review and Weekly Standard publish articles which are critical of either Obama or Clinton and yet are declare that Trump is a preferable candidate.

    The reader of these magazines is left to wonder why they remain so unable to prefer Trump to Clinton?
    Where do they get their money from?
    Why exactly are they so oblivious to the obvious fact that Trump is preferable to Clinton?

    These two magazines have exposed themselves to be frauds as far as political analysis goes in my view.

    • Oliver says

      Aug 29, 2016 at 6:39 pm

      The two magazines ( this is my view) do not like Trump because he is, TO A GREAT EXTENT, NON IDEOLOGICAL. But uses common sense.

      The elites don’t like common sense, because it is “so common”-

      They ( the elites- both extremes) make money regardless who is in charge.

      Recently, Walkowitz (did i get the name right?) criticized Trump, and said that he si voting for Clinton. he was an architect of the fiasco known as Iraq. And Trump saying- hey, let the US take care of Americans, not worry about the entire world, nor be the world’s policeman. The elites ( both sides) don’t liek that. OF COURSE, THEIR SONS AND DAUGHTERS, BROTHERS AND SISTERS; NIECES AND NEPHEWS DON’T GO AND FIGHT THESE WARS.- that is for the common people,.

      All slime.

      My view

          Graven & August– IN MY OPINION- if 9either or both) barry Goldwater and/or Ronald Reagan were alive today-2016- and running for office- the ” right wing’ and ” conservatives’ ( especially the “social conservatives”) would have fits.

          Barry Goldwater first- as a GENERAL (who saw combat in one or two wars) was IN FAVOR of gays in the military- ” as long as they can shoot straight’ ( and this was before his grandson said that he was gay); that he was against Jerry Falwell and others of their ilk. One Of his sayings (as close to quote as I recall) ” I did not start a revolution to get the government out of our wallets, to get it into our bedrooms”.

          His family started Planned Parenthood in Arizona, to provide contraception information and health aides to women- when Arizona was sparsely populated, and had few medical facilities.

          Reagan- was once a Dem., was a union official,. was divorced once or twice (I am not sure); was an actor; made deals with the opposition party; listened to opposing views.

          he also, as Pres.- raised taxes; instituted tariffs; sold arms to Al Queida (Ben Ladin) and Saddam Hussein ( and more or less-iran- although them with defective weapons); probably other things that would make the elites twist their pink panties into knots. (He also thought- as per Vanity fair magazine-some years ago-published parts of his diaries)– very little of George W. Bush

    I am serious when I ask this, and I would appreciate any answers that y’all can provide – does this administration WANT us to be victims of terrorism? WHY are they trying to hide it so much? I mean, I sort of understand that these people, like Kerry and Obama, want open borders and all, but are they really willing to sacrifice lives to reach their goal? I wish these people could be victims of their own policies. Thanks in advance for any answers!

    • August West says

      Aug 29, 2016 at 6:25 pm

      I think it is pretty clear that this administration is drenched in Globalist/Marxist Ideology. If I dust off my copy of Marx’s Das Kapital I am reminded that the end state that is desired by the Marxist is world in which everybody is equal. In order to get to the perfect Marxist state society has to go through a transformation. During this transformation the so called “dictatorship of the bourgeois” is broken and an intermediate step called the “dictatorship of the proletariat” emerges. In order to usher this intermediate step revolutions and social change are needed. This transformation is a period of social unrest to say the least.

      I don’t think they necessarily like terrorism per se, but instead they see it as part of the social unrest that is integral to the transformation from the current society ruled by the bourgeois to the paradise that is envisioned by Marxism.

      It is interesting to note that nobody could be more “bourgeois” than Obama/Clinton/Kerry, but never the less they know what is best (in their minds) and the end justifies the means. Kerry wants the population to be ignorant exactly because he see’s the general public as a roadblock to Marxist ideal state.

      Just my 2 cents.

        Here across the pond these people are known as “champagne socialists’, i.e.., they trot out the dogma ad nauseam in public whilst making sure the money keeps coming their way via the usual tax dodges, they have nice expensive houses away from the prols, private healthcare and if their kids don’t actually go to exclusive private schools, they somehow end up in the most upmarket State schools. I believe that similar things happened around the Soviet bloc, just as those in high places in China seem to have things somewhat more luxurious than their average comrade. And regarding terrorism, paedophile gangs, etc., we in the UK don’t know a tenth of what’s going on, because Mr. Kerry’s counterparts over here don’t think that knowledge is good for us.

          Back when George W Bush was pres.- and started the fiasco known as Iraq, there was a convention of (as best i recall) young “Conservative Republicans’ (ie. high school/college age).

          Many were interviewed-almost all expressed support for the war. AND ALMOST ALL SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT VOLUNTEER FOR THE MILITARY– THEY COULD MAKE A ” BETTER CONTRIBUTION'” to society.

        Not just Obama, Hillary too & the entire Democratic Party follow “The rules”..
        In 2008, David Alinsky, son of Saul Alinsky, wrote an article praising the effectiveness of the Obama Campaign in following the Saul Alinsky Rules:
        “Son sees father’s handiwork in convention”
        “Barack Obama’s training in Chicago by the great community organizers is showing its effectiveness. It is an amazingly powerful format, and the method of my late father always works to get the message out and get the supporters on board. When executed meticulously and thoughtfully, it is a powerful strategy for initiating change and making it really happen. Obama learned his lesson well”.
        “I am proud to see that my father’s model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky”

      I think that the elites live in well protected envirens, and don’t have to worry about the terrorism threat. Body guards; walls; etc. Screw the common person.

      But not only them. Go back a few years- a REP. debate. Newt Gingrich was asked, (paraphrasing question and answer) IF he knew, BEYOND A DOUBT, from multiple sources, that a 911 type attack was to take place on a major American city, would he neutralize (IE kill) the perps. Gingrich said YES. The first obligation of a President is to protect the citizens. ALL EXCEPT RON PAUL AGREED. RON PAUL SAID, ( again, paraphrasing) ” you would kill them, JUST ( my emphasis as to how he phrased his remarks) on the basis that they PLANNED to do the attack?

      Obama and Kerry -perhaps not so blunt, but doing the same. My view

    • Wellington says

      Aug 29, 2016 at 6:46 pm

      The short answer here to your pertinent and fully justifiable query is that faux ideologies and their suckered believers supersede everything else, including hard and irrefutable data.

      For instance, in Western Leftworld Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance and a belief system to be admired by all except by the ignorant and the bigoted. As part of this position (which can be refuted by numerous facts about Islam——-but then facts are optional for Leftworld), the many Islamic terrorist organizations (there are a bunch of them, now aren’t there?) are aberrations of the true Islam, never mind that Islam is a 1400-year old criminal enterprise which hides behind a religious veil and this can be copiously proven by reference to the facts. But then facts, as I already stated, are optional for true believers.

      So, with respect to the dimwits now in charge of the West (examples being Kerry, Obama, May, Merkel and Pope Francis), believing something is true is as good as it being true——even if it isn’t. As for your last question, whether such people are ready to sacrifice mucho lives “to reach their goal,” you can bet your last dollar they are. Thus, once again demonstrating, I would argue, how ideology of all those who are lesser human beings, like the five fools I just mentioned above, trumps (appropriate word, no?) everything.

      After all, Joseph Goebbels had a PhD. See what I mean?

It is the only thing that separates us from the “slave” states of Europe, Australia, China and the Middle East. NEVER give up your rights and NEVER give up your guns. Hillary wants both of those.

      You may already have the answer, but I’ll add a few words.

      In one word, Yes. Not just of terrorism, but anything that will reduce the population.
      It is part of the over-all plan to have only enough of the regular people to do the work for those who wish to rule over the those working.
      It may sound like a crazy conspiracy, but it is what I believe they think. Those who are willing to *sacrifice* any and all to whatever will help them reach their goal of dominance, use terrorism as a tool. They don;t see themselves as potential victims.

    Ever wonder why John Kerry is SO Iran friendly? Kerry is not just playing out his part in a very Pro-Islamic, Pro-Muslim Obama Administration.
    With John Kerry it’s “All On The Family”.
    John Kerry’s younger daughter married an Iranian-American with substantial family ties to Iran’ Kerry has made appearances with pro-Iranian groups and has accepted political donations from Iranian-Americans.
    –
    You can read about the Best Man at the the Kerry wedding and his ties to
    “Nuclear Iran”:
    Excerpt:
    “What feeble minded fools like John Kerry don’t seem to understand is that this wedding of his daughter to an Iranian man, …will have political consequences. Muslims marry into communities, like in the middle ages when wars got resolved by leaders marrying daughters of another opposing leader. ”
    “The West doesn’t understand Muslim mentality and culture so their meddling, trade and interactions turn into a complete mess”
    “Kerry has now married into Shia Iran. That’s how they will interpret this marriage. It will effect the future of US politics and the White House from now onwards”

      Mrs. Clinton’s closest advisor, Ms. Abedin, is also an Iranian Muslim. What a coincidence!

      • Oliver says

        Aug 30, 2016 at 6:46 pm

        I thought that Abedin is a Saudi Muslim.

        I had read that somewhere- however, to Muslims, I guess- any Muslim is better then an infidel

          “I thought that Abedin is a Saudi Muslim.”
          Huma Abedin is reportedly American born but moved to Saudi Arabia and lived there until College age.
          Valerie Jarrett, an Obama confidante is the one that is Iranian born to American Expatriate parents.

    Kerry spoke at the EDWARD M KENNEDY CENTER. Edward M Kennedy was the REAL name of Ted kennedy-he of the harvard Swimming team, who did not know that he left a woman in his car, when he swam away from it ( the car) after going off of a bridge. (Mary Jo Kepenchick-I beleive was the name of the deceased woman). And the asses in Mass. kept reelecting him to the Senate.

    perhaps fitting- in an Islamic hellhole, name a building for a drunk who killed a woman. And Kerry, another ass from mass. speaks in the building. With this nonsense.

      And I used to think the car bumper sticker “My Gun has killed less people than Ted Kennedy’s Car” was brilliant……

      Teddy was a Harvard swimmer ? Brain must have been swimming in some serious booooze that night.

      • Oliver says

        Aug 30, 2016 at 6:53 pm

        All or most of the Kennedy’s were alcoholics.

        Teddy’s (or was he Bobby’s?) son (Patrick) was at one time in the House of Reps. from (I think New Hampshire, not sure)- but was in and out of coke and booze rehabs more then he was in Congress. he finally retired. I think he was too drunk or stoned to campaign.

        Bobby-the Attorney general and his wife Ethel were also drunks.

        And one of Bobby’s children (in the 1980’s or very early 1990’s) over dosed on (either cocaine or heroine) in the Kennedy compound in Palm beach (County) FL.

    Kerry has a point, if the media didn’t publish “events” then people wouldn’t know about it,
    if they didn’t know about “events” how could they be scared ..

    Kerry is so smart thinking of such a creative way to end terrorism ..

    HOW COULD GOOD FOLKS BE TERRORISED IF THEY WERN’T SCARED IN THE FIRST PLACE

  12. Mark A says

    Aug 29, 2016 at 7:45 pm

    Since the mainstream media obviously supports the Obama Administration, I’m betting the MSM will take John Kerry’s comments as clear direction from Obama and there will be less coverage of terror attacks in the mainstream media.

    This is the education and values that came from the draft dodgers, and Vietnam war protestors that populate the political science colleges at IV league universities. The United States is The Great Satan. People on the outside are ignorant bumpkins. These brilliant in their own mind geniuses have never been in the real world. They live in a circle jerk world where everyone they know has the same opinion, not a hint of disention is heard in this VR world, any disention is excised. This VR circle jerk of self congratulations has spun ever tighter and tighter. Because no one has ever countered their god like view of the world you have pronouncements from buffoons like Kerry, and worst of all Obama who has exceeded anything Jimmy Carter ever did to destabilize the Islamic world. What Obama has done he has reignited the centuries long war of mutual annihilation between the Sunni’s, and the Shi’a. But the most colossal mistake of all was Obama’s giving a sect of Islam that has a suicidal tradition atomic weapons. What is not being talked about is the fact that North Korea and Iran are partners in the development of nuclear weapon. When ever North Korea tests an atomic bomb Iran is right there as a partner. Thanks Obama and Kerry you have planted the seeds of the first Atomic war which will be fought in the Middle east. The war will be Iran on one side with Israel and Saudi Arabia on the other with Egypt supplying the army that will invade Iran. Remember Saudi Arabia can have deliverable atomic weapons when ever it wants simply by opening and writing a check to Pakistan. It will be a war of death and destruction such as the world has never seen.

      “…But the most colossal mistake of all was Obama’s giving a sect of Islam that has a suicidal tradition atomic weapons.”
      It would only be a mistake if the “Unintended Consequences” of Obama’s actions weren’t actually intentional. I believe Barack Hussein Obama knows full well the consequences of his actions.

      • Oliver says

        Sep 4, 2016 at 9:35 pm

        yes. They can cover it elss. They ahve to report that decades ago one of Mr. Trump’s executives made an anti-Semitic remark, IN A PRIVATE CONVERSATION, and the former executive ( not mentioned if deceased; retired or still employed or fired) AS PER HIS EX-WIFE- NOW. YEARS LATER. (this was in a Jewish periodical).

        And Chelsea Clinton has a mezuzah from Israel. (Very important-her husband’s father is an ex-convict- that is ignored).

        Ao, to answer your question, the lame stream media can cover terrorism and other important , matters less. Have to report on the latest wife beatings- real or imagined of NFL athletes, etc.

        THAT IS IMPORTANT NEWS. AND WHICH MOVIE STAR IS PREGNANT BY WHOM.

    Applying his insane evil to other things:

    Don’t allow the weatherman to warn of tornadoes, hurricanes or flooding.
    Don’t allow the police or those who work in transportation to warn of bridges swept away, sinkholes, rock slides.
    Don’t allow doctors to warn people about drinking alcohol to excess or smoking.
    Don’t allow parents to warn children about playing in the street, with guns, running with sharp objects or filling the mouth too full.
    Don’t allow toy makers to warn of choking hazards, or to not allow children to make toys of plastic bags.

    He subscribes to the rule: what you don’t know, can’t hurt you. Only he changed it to What they don’t know, may hurt them, but then what do we care? The fewer people to feed, the better.

    The day will come, and it is coming soon, when the fool/tool of the beast will not longer have a platform for speaking or influencing anyone.

    Kerry was directing his remarks to a Muslim audience. They know that they are seen in the West as barbarians because of all the violence, and they believe there is nothing they can do to stop the violence, so stop talking about it. It’s about protecting Islam and their sense of superiority. That’s how Kerry wants to make friends in the Muslim world. Pandering. As if that works.

    No sir, we will not stop talking about Islamic violence until Muslims stop their violence. We don’t believe pandering is the solution.

    Kerry is right. It has been clearly demonstrated that terrorist acts are more likely to incite copy-cat terror acts if media coverage is more sensationalist. One thing is supplying the news and something else is sensationalism. Some middle road must be found.

    There is something looming that might make Kerry’s dreams come true. Check Drudge and Breitbart– something about Obama not renewing an agreement that keeps the internet under US jurisdiction.

    If Obama let’s it expire, then the UN will be in control by default. George Soros us already planning an initiative to censor information that conflictsc with the “open borders are fantastic” narrative…

    This could happen in earnest as early as Oct. 1, about one month away.

  30. Lioness says

    Aug 30, 2016 at 10:15 am

    As it is, the main stream media doesn’t report on half of the jihad acts in the world, especially if it’s in sub-Saharan Africa. Or they report terror incidents by simply calling them “crime”, without mentioning the muslim name of the perpetrator. So how much more cover-up Kerry wants?

    I’m dumbfounded by the statement, perhaps Kerry is suffering from some kind of mental disorder, I have no words to describe that kind of senseless idiotic belief, I think we are not at the edge of the precipice any more, we have gone over, we are pose for rude awakening, it is time wake up before is to late.

    Who wrote such a stupid statement for him to pronounce? “People won’t know what’s going on.” Really the mind boggles that such a sentence would be written, even by some lowly intern…It goes without saying that John Kerry would read out loud any statement he’s given, no questions asked.

  34. Geppetto says

    Straight from the mouth of a man who personifies the pseudo intellectual elite that dominate in politics, the entertainment industry, academia and the media. Keep the people in the dark. They’re not mentally equipped to comprehend the nuances of the subtle, intellectually superior approach that Sir Obama, Sir Kerry and their “brilliant” advisors are pursuing. And the best part? John Kerry won’t have to stumble, dodge and risk making embarrassingly incoherent statements in defense of the indefensible…….like this one.

  41. Nighttimer says

    Sep 1, 2016 at 5:34 am

    Wow – he literally said “People wouldn’t know what’s going on.”

    Not even any remotely positive sounding ambiguous wordings like “So people wouldn’t get the wrong image of things” or anything like that. He unambiguously said that it would be a good thing if people would be kept in the dark about *what is really going on*.

    Then again; to anyone who has sincerely been paying attention to how the Obama administration has been goinig about things, statements like this are no surprise at all. “There is no genocide in Syria and Iraq”, “There are no IS infiltrants among the refugees”, and even “Islamist groups are not specifically targeting religious minorities”. The Bush administration was not much better in this regard (general reminder that the defacto persecution of Iraq’s religious minorities already started during the US occupation – the neocons were all too happy to throw the Iraqi Christians and Mandaeans under the bus), though the Obama administration is far more determined to double down on its lies.

    And of course, how do the leftist oligarchs respond people exposing their lies? With more lies, threats, and eventually coercion.
