If you open your window right now, you will be able to hear the New York Times and the Washington Post and CNN and the BBC and all the rest collectively screaming, “Oh yes we do!” But President Trump is correct. He said: “It’s gotten to a point where it’s not even reported, and in many cases the very, very dishonest press doesn’t even want to report it.” The establishment propaganda media has taken this to mean that he was claiming they didn’t even mention the attacks. They did. But in virtually all cases, they did all they could to obscure the motivating ideology behind those attacks. They deliberately conceal and/or misrepresent the aspects of them that make it clear that they’re Islamic jihad attacks. This is in accord with the guidelines of the Society of Professional Journalists, which tells journalists not to connect Islam with terrorism, and to obscure that connection wherever possible.
One notorious example of this is the Orlando massacre. Mainstream news outlets claimed that Omar Mateen was a conflicted gay man lashing out at other gays. This was outright disinformation: the FBI later announced that there was no evidence that he was gay, no gay apps on his phone, etc. Few outlets published his actual remarks, making it clear that he was killing for the Islamic State and Islam. The coverage of terrorist incidents in general in the establishment media deliberately misleads the public.
“White House List Contradicts Trump Claim That Terror Attacks Go Unreported,” by Brian Naylor and Jessica Taylor, NPR, February 6, 2017:
President Trump, in another broadside against the news media, on Monday accused “the dishonest press” of failing to report terrorist attacks.
But in a list put out by the White House later Monday evening, many of the attacks cited, such as the attack the Orlando night club shooting last June and 2015 attacks in San Bernardino, Calif., and Paris were extensively covered by the media around the clock.
Speaking to troops at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida, the headquarters of the U.S. Central Command, Trump cited a series of recent attacks and then added, “It’s gotten to a point where it’s not even reported, and in many cases the very, very dishonest press doesn’t even want to report it.”
Trump told the troops that the media “have their reasons, and you understand that,” but didn’t elaborate beyond that.
Trump initially cited no examples of the media’s failure to report terrorist attacks. Onboard Air Force One as he returned to Washington with the president, press secretary Sean Spicer said terrorist attacks “aren’t exactly covered to a degree on which they should be” and said they would release a full list of examples soon.
Late Monday evening, the White House did just that. According to a White House official, the point they were trying to make “is that these terrorists attacks are so pervasive at this point that they do not spark the wall-to-wall coverage they once did.”
“If you look back just a few years ago, any one of these attacks would have been ubiquitous in every news outlet, and now they’re happening so often … that networks are not devoting to each of them the same level of coverage they once did,” the administration official continued.
PolitiFact rated Trump’s claim as “Pants on Fire,” writing that they “found no support for the idea that the media is hushing up terrorist attacks on U.S. or European soil. The media may sometimes be cautious about assigning religious motivation to a terrorist attack when the facts are unclear or still being investigated. But that’s not the same as covering them up through lack of coverage. There is plenty of coverage of in the American media of terrorist attacks.”…

For maximum time saved, you can just provide a website link to the JW post above, along with essential points about Robert’s career, and your own progress from cluelessness to knowledge. A forceful alternative would be mentioning his standing offer to debate any serious person in a neutral venue or format.
In the case of NPR, this could be A CONVERSATION WITH BRIAN NAYLOR, JESSICA TAYLOR — or any other correspondent it selects. If you do toss such a challenge into email, insist that a SPECIFIC ASSERTION OR TOPIC BE CHOSEN so this can be agreed to by Robert in advance, and also for the conversation to run long enough for a thoughtful exploration.
When enough of us actually follow through within a concise interval — three days from right now? — there might be a result. SO GET GOING WITH THE KEYBOARD PLEASE ! ! !

Trump is right. MSM hides or belittles jihadist incidents all the time. There was a muslim convert who shot and killed five people at Ft.Lauderdale airport just a few weeks ago. His muslim name is “Aashiq Hammad” and he showed a signature finger sign of ISIS and other jihadists in his facebook but MSM did not mention any of that. More below:

There are so many stories of jihad terrorist attacks, and evil from so called refugees, in Europe, and of course we have had our long list here in the USA for over 20 years, remember the first twin tower attack? The media would rather focus on stupid bashing of Trump. Why? because he is on to them!! So are the readers of JW!!
Westman says
The credibilty and economic model of the news media is failing, and there is panic in the newsroom. They don’t want to alienate the liberal base, but that segment is no longer able to exclusively support them as the advertising dollar becomes fractured by alternate news sources. Considering the number of political ads in the Super Bowl, and the non-stop attacks by the media on the POTUS, they may be sealing their own decline.
Something new is occurring: The conservative “right” is getting less tolerant of the verbal abuse from the snowflakes and becoming active. One should fully expect that the response will be both quieter than the liberals, and economically brutal. Boycotts have historically been used by liberals in the past, yet should be even more effective when employed by conservatives. I’m starting with no more support for any liberal controlled institutions that ask for money, info mashers like facebook, and avoiding Kellog’s products.
There is a vibration in the land like the low rumble before the train rolls into view. The “journalists” of No Name City should start planning for their own migration.

“Statue of Liberty was intended to be a muslim woman”.
TY for ROP link; I missed that CBS foolishness.
Gen Jones says
This idiotic claim annoys me too. Bartholdi had tried to build a statue at the opening of the Suez Canal in the style of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Colossus of Rhodes. Bartholdi was influenced by the huge monuments at Abu Simbel and the Sphinx, etc. The statue was going to be a Egyptian peasant woman holding a lantern and the statue would act as a lighthouse. It would be called something like the Light of Egypt leading the world – a celebration of this huge unprecedented engineering project. The pasha of Egypt at the time was a fabulously wealthy European educated gad about who was going to finance it until he was in trouble for overspending. Sometime later Bartholdi developed the idea of the Statue of Liberty to commemorate the friendship between the US and France. Liberty was modeled on the classical tradition of a female figure representing a country like Columbia for the US and Marianne for France. If anything Bartholdi misunderstood the modernism of Egypt at that time because a female statue would not have been approved ultimately, financing or no. The conflating of ancient Egyptian funerary monuments with Islam is a hilarious misunderstanding of history by the writers of these “the Statue of Liberty was a Muslim woman” articles. ?
gravenimage says
Here’s the link to the stupid original story:
http://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/inspiration-for-statue-of-liberty-muslim-woman
We are seeing more and more of this meretricious rewriting of history.
Gen, as you note, the inspiration for the Suez Canal were figures like the ancient Colossus of Rhodes and the figures at Abu Simbel.
There is a long history, dating back to ancient Greece and Rome, of female figures used to symbolize virtues such as fortitude and hope, which later inspired the Statue of Liberty–there is no such tradition in Islam.
And the Suez Canal, of course, was not a Muslim project–it was engineered entirely by Infidels. I believe you are right in Bartholdi overestimating the modernism of Muslim countries like Egypt–this has been quite common in hopeful Westerners.
Stan Lee says
The G.D. media has to put its own spin on a happening. It cannot bring itself to report the news, the whole news, the truthful news.
That is why I gave up reading most of the newspapers ,in disgust. And, fortunately I found TV news
operations that “said it like it was,” no artificial coloring, no fancy foot work, just news without broadcast script and drama. I find Fox Business is better than Fox News in that respect for just plain news, OANN (One America Network News) is fine, Newsmax in evenings also gets the job done well.
It is so disappointing about the others, they are rabid partisans for the Democrats. If one seeks partisan leftist twists on news, those networks that were unmentioned will satisfy the person seeking partisan messages.

Does the media amend their reports to include the motivation once it’s found to be “religious” in nature?

A really, really common example.
Mustafah Billou, imam of a local mosque, is living in Queens. As is the wont of far too many Muslims when out in public, he becomes enraged at some slight he perceives as having been directed at him because – wait for it – of his Islamic faith. He then causes a scene at the store, yelling and knocking over product displays. He may even yell out threats to the customers watching his behavior.
The local news story, “A Queens man is held for questioning.”
Get that. A “Queens man.” Now if his full name was given, along with his occupation, light bulbs would be going off, n’est pas? Well, we can’t have that, can we? If might put Islam in a bad light.

Note that very few of the sex crimes actually occurring are even getting into the media. Only a small number or women report crimes to the police and then, according to a high ranking Policeman in Frankfurt in January 2016, crimes by ‘refugees’ have systematically been covered up: “There are strict orders from the authority not to report offences by refugees. Only direct questions by media representatives regarding such offenses are to be answered.” [08.01.2016 Bild newspaper http://www.bild.de/news/inland/sex-uebergriffe-silvesternacht/wird-verboten-die-wahrheit-zu-sagen-44077302.bild.html%5D
So these are just a few that come to light. Today’s ‘crop’: http://www.pi-news.net/2017/02/muenchen-eritreer-belaestigt-18-frauen-in-s-bahn/#more-554000
Munich: An investigation is being held against a 23 y.o. Eritrean suspected of molesting several women on the Underground train on 29. Jan. 2017. Various women were molested over two hours on the train, e.g. touching a woman’s genitals. [Note: only two women bothered to report this to police – that’s how little faith in the action and deportation German women now have.]
Hannover: The Police are searching for a 25-30 y.o. African on suspicion of raping a 38 y.o. woman at 9pm. She was walking, he offered her drugs, which she refused. Then he pulled her into a Biergarden entrance and raped her. He speaks broken German. The Police have been investigating the busy drug trade around the Faust area and at the Café Glocksee, apparently run by Africans for some time now. In October about 70 Police investigated dealers and buyers in this area and began 16 criminal proceedings. A year ago a Sudanese man sexual attacked a 25 y.o. woman in the ladies’ WC of the Café Glocksee. There were also attacks in Linden on the street in 2014, and the Police fruitlessly searched for a man suspected of committing various crimes. He was described as a 1,85m tall southerner [To Germans this means anything from Italian to Middle Eastern].
Dortmund: Police were called to the main train station about 3 am, where a brawl had taken place. A 21 y.o. asylum-seeker from Congo with a high blood alcohol level apparently beset a 17 y.o. Dortmund woman and hit her in the face when she didn’t respond to his advances. She has a broken nose. A young man who tried to help her was punched in the face and lay unconscious on the ground when the police arrived – he had earlier been victim to a pickpocket. The Congo man was already known to police for driving without a licence.
Bietigheim-Bissingen: Two 20-25 y.o. dark-skinned men sexually harassed two young girls on 28th Jan. A 12 y.o. girl and a friend with her mother were walking to an event at 3.30pm. The men indecently harassed the girls and grabbed the mother’s arm when she told them to leave the girls alone. Passers-by intervened and the attackers left. One of the men was particularly tall and had Rasta curls.
Düsseldorf: A judge on Thursday asked the accused whether rubbing women’s legs and grabbing their bottoms is done in Morocco. The accused had no answer. He had groped two women within four weeks and received a fine 720 Euro. Case 1: New Year’s night 2016/2017: Youness H. molested a woman in the Altstadt. The case was close before a court case occurred. Case 2: a week ago on the Underground he sat beside a woman, kept rubbing his upper leg against her and then grabbed her bottom.
Bad Oldesloe: 04.02.2017, between 7-8pm at the swimming pool five girls (12-14) were molested by southern-looking men. The girls were grabbed under the water. The suspects are two asylum seekers (23 and 34). Preliminary proceedings are taking place.
Neubrandenburg: After sexually molesting a 14 y.o. girl, a perpetrator with southern appearance is being sought by police. The girl was at a bus terminal at 7.30pm when an approx. 30 y.o. man rode around her on a bicycle, then stopped, spoke to her in broken German, then sexually molested her, including stroking her, even when she asked him to stop. He has dark hair and brown eyes.
Kamp-Lintfort: Yesterday evening about 10.40 pm a drunk, 30 y.o. Iraqi man is accused of insulting and indecently touching several women in a Cafés in Moerser St. Police took the man into custody and he awaits trial.
Landau: Early morning on 31.12.2016 two young women dancing at a disco when one was indecently touched by a young man. A man tried to help the girls and a dispute developed between him and two friends of the attacker. All three of the men were removed from the club by the bouncers. Investigations so far describe the main attacker as 19 y.o. Moroccan, and his two friends as ‘of southern appearance’ and having noticeably few teeth.
Sweden: Five Afghan teenagers are convicted of gang-raping a boy at knife-point in Sweden – but NONE will be deported because their homeland is ‚too dangerous‘. The brutal gang-rape happened in woodland in Uppsala, south eastern Sweden. The boy was beaten and then dragged to a forest at knife-point. Prosecutors say the victim, aged under 15, was ’subjected to an ordeal lasting more than an hour‘. Five attackers have been convicted but none will be expelled from Sweden.

I’m reading the Society of Professional Journalists and wondering how many follow these guidelines and, if they had, would Ferguson have happened? http://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp
Darryl Kerney says
well, after reading the SPJ code,
i’d say all of the big name media have in many instances violated everything in that code which is at times too vague and even somewhat contradictory. there is much to praise in that code, if followed, but, as with all ideals, how often is it attained ?
but i also think that we can learn something from all reporting, it may not be about the actual event however, it may be more about the views of the person reporting on it. were we not all told as kids that we shouldn’t believe everything we read ?
ultimately, it comes down to the audience’s choice to believe or not,
and i’m a firm believer in the axiom that good ideas don’t need to be forced, bad ones do.

Wellington says
Trump, whatever his flaws, is right now the most powrful force in the world for the preservation of liberty. I am not aware of a stronger or more influential source for freedom’s continuance, fragile as freedom most definitely is in any age, than President Trump is right now.
So, no wonder he is despised or at least looked upon quite skeptically by the Left, by Muslims en masse, and others like the Chinese, NONE OF WHOM give a damn about liberty. Indeed, they loathe it.
Daniel Triplett says
Damn right.
The success or failure of the Free World’s future depends on the will of one man.
I sure hope he realizes it.
All his campaign promises take a back seat to his pledge to “eradicate Islamic extremism [Islam] from the face of the Earth.” If he can’t pull that one off, nothing else even matters.
Darryl Kerney says
agreed, and to add, those who seem to be enamored with islam might consider that mo claimed that allah said, you may dislike a thing that is good for you. i won’t attempt to cite the verse(s), many here can i’m sure, my point is that the concept in reference is self defense, and expands to the defense of your group, whether that be the ummah, or the culture, the society, or, in this case, the entire civilization, so, the choice is, which side ? islam or western civilization ? take a look, which one is the one that is better to live in ?
avi15 says
We had all better pray he succeeds. If he doesn’t, it means the West can’t be diverted from its path of suicide at the hands of Islam.
epistemology says
Couldn’t agree more dear Wellington, I can only confirm what Trump said about the media. Apart from BBC and CNN I watch TV5 (the international French channel) and German media. When reporting about Islam it’s the same crap everywhere. I watched the memorial service for the victims of the Nice attack live on TV5. It was very well done and solemn, they placed a white rose for every victim and only read the victim’s name and age. The anchor man said that the Nice attack couldn’t have anything to do with religion as there were two Muslims among the victims. He didn’t tell us anything about the religion of the other victims; we ignore how many Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Sikhs and agnostics were among the victims. But there were two muzzies and so it can’t have anything to do with Islam, strange logic.
So you see all over the world they’re all alike and cave in to Islam, it’s deplorable.
All the best to you and yours my friend, take care

Wellington
send him a postcard or a letter. Or even just phone his Press Secretary.
Make sure he knows.
he’s a showman, he seems to know how to play the media. He talks tough; but he has to be encouraged, in this above all others, to dig in his toes and double down and BE ‘the strong horse’, because this is *the* issue, if the USA does not form the ‘shield wall’ against the Jihad, everything else is moot.
It doesn’t require subtlety.
1/ Keep the Mohammedans out. From ALL Mohammedan-dominated countries – including Saudi Arabia and Qatar and Turkey and Indonesia and – especially – Pakistan and Afghanistan. The whole damn boiling. ALL of them. they don’t get to come to the USA as businessmen, tourists, students, immigrants, refugees… just… NO. Keep them out. And tell them to cut down on the size of their embassies. Skeleton staff. Bare minimum. The only reason to keep Infidel embassies in Muslim lands, for now, is to process asylum applications from NON-MUSLIM minority groups.
2/ End the jizya and tribute – NO mohammedan entity should get ANYTHING special from an Infidel power like the USA. Cut back on trade as well. There are PLENTY of non-Muslim countries, both free and semi-free, to trade with. How about doing some deals with India?
3/ move that embassy to Jerusalem, pronto! – because that will signal resolve, like nothing else will. There should be no accompanying explanations or protestations or apologies and it should be done quickly. One fine day, the American Embassy to Israel is in Tel Aviv; the next day, there it is, flags flying, Marines in position, in a nice address in the Jerusalem Old City, open for business. Fait accompli.
4/ Work out some way to neutralise, permanently, Iran’s nuke project *and* Pakistan’s nuke arsenal. The Israelis probably have a few helpful ideas on the subject. They’ve got the intelligence, the smarts, and the imagination; the USA has the tech.
5/ Non-citizen Muslims in the USA should be turfed out. Start with those who’ve committed crimes or incited to jihad or advocated Sharia.
I’d encourage all jihadwatchers who communicate with him on social media to end with the tagline – “Got Muslims? Got Jihad”.
Wellington says
I have written Trump more than once, dda, as I’m sure you will be pleased to know. Right now, the principal problem for Trump is not the hysterical media or the obstructionist Democratic Party or RINOS like Senators McCain and Graham, problems though they are, but the federal judiciary which is loaded with liberal judges and have life tenure——-the ultimate lasting harmful legacy of Barack Obama and Bill Clinton (and some Republican appointments to the federal judiciary have been bad choices too, for instance Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, appointed by Reagan no less, and the federal district judge in the state of Washington, appointed by Bush 43, who overturned Trump’s Executive Order on merely a temporary ban from merely seven of the fifty-six majority-Muslim nations)
Uphill struggle to be sure. Very steep uphill struggle. .
mortimer says
The 1% owns the media and wants the unchecked migration so it can lower the wages and destroy nationalism, thus GLOBALIZING the world so their businesses encounter fewer restrictions and so they can easily move production to one country to another and quickly maximize profits when shifts in the economy occur.
The 1% wants no resistance to the destabilizing effect of massive Muslim immigration to the West. The 1% wants every country to become a non-democratic Berzerkistan.
Darryl Kerney says
isn’t it strange how the ones who can’t say “diversity” enough times in one sentence are the ones who appear intent upon creating a totally homogeneous blend of every race to eliminate racism ? they proclaim the virtue of diversity, while working towards the blurring out of the very thing they praise.

anthony edwards says
This is a landmark statement by the POTUS. The first amendment used to expound on the actual truth of what is going on in the world will help win the struggle to destroy Islam before it completes its plans to destroy us. It goes without saying that Islam will not be destroyed until leftist fascism and its propaganda gestapo whores are first destroyed.
Destroying the MSM, leftist fascism and Islamic Supremacy are some of the objectives of the historically patriotic Trump Presidency that will MAGA!
Reason, morality, truth and freedom are on our side. America’s side!
Stupidity, corruption, lies and hysterical indoctrination are on the side of the Islamic-Fascist-Globalist Axis of Evil.
WE THE PEOPLE are going to utterly destroy them all BEFORE Islamicists, Leftist Fascists and Global Elitists candestroy civilization, democracy and human rights!!
Darryl Kerney says
and the way to win is with better ideas, articulated clearly, that appeal to whatever reason is left in the indoctrinated masses, the only way the best results will come about is if the, at some point, revolutionary masses have the best ideas behind their cause, let us not forget that most revolutions have brought about worse results than the prior situation, the notable exceptions being the ones that had the best principles at their root. which one did better for the people, the american revolution or the communist ones ? the american one or the islamic ones ? until the real benefits of the american one are covered in sand and rewritten by its enemies, it will remain the one that was the greatest advancement in freedom and prosperity ever in human history, all the “progressives” can claim for their cause are the soviet gulags and Mao’s great leap forward into the abyss of totalitarianism.
common sense says
I watched this.
[The media]“have their reasons, and you understand that,”.- said Trump.
I understood it in the same way that Robert explained it. The motivation of the attacks are are spun to look like anything else but Islam itself, Trump wont say it yet.
“The religion of Islam has been attacking our country and the rest of the world, its not peaceful. Every attack carried out is by a Muslim. The Koran specifically and repetitivelycalls for jihad, violence and slaughter. Period. The historical data can’t be ignored.” That would be the guy I elected.
That has to come, the time is now, do we follow the way of the world or do we follow THE WAY?
Alec Rawls says
An example is the “Cascade Mall shootings, perpetrated by Turkish immigrant Arcan Cetin north of Seattle last fall. The day after it came out online that Cetin’s Tumblr page had a picture of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi labeled “my main man,” the local Kitsap Sun ran a story about a failed relationship Cetin had with a girl who once worked at the mall and no mention of Cetin being an ISIS fanboy.
That would have been quick reporting on the ISIS connection so I withheld judgment and watched for an update. It never came, and it is easy to verify that other Seattle area papers also stopped reporting when the ISIS connection came out.
Type Cetin into the Seattle Times website and as of 2/7/17 you’ll get 29 hits. Enter both Cetin and Cascade and you’ll get 17 hits. Enter Cetin and Bakr or Cetin and Baghdadi and you’ll get zero hits. Enter Cetin and “main man” and you’ll get zero hits.
They just never reported Cetin’s social media approval of the ISIS leader. Seattle people who rely on print or broadcast media still don’t know.
Darryl Kerney says

Oliver says
About250 or so years ago Benjamin Franklin got it right.
Paraphrasing
The classified advertisements are the most truthful part of a newspaper
Geoff says
Of course the news may report on the incident, but it is clear what he is trying to say is they are ignoring or willfully trying to cover up the motive – which is Islamic terrorism.
How many times does a terrorist attack occur and they don’t mention the name?
Or how many times do they deny it was terrorism?
Those are always good clues. And it’s not that the info. is generally not available. If you dig deeper on alternative news sites, you’ll generally get the Islamic name pretty quick.
Take for example the recent attack in Melbourne, Australia. No mention of the drivers name and the police denied it was a terrorist attack. Go to a news site in the UK and get the name and details at pretty much the same time.
So it is deliberate obfuscation on the part of the media because it does not comport with their naïve worldview. And in the case of the government-media complex the more they have to own up to the fact that these are indeed terrorist attacks, the more they have to take responsibility for failing to protect our own citizens and failed policy.
SweetOlBob says
Trump speaks the truth ! And it’s not just islam the Manure Stream Media protects. They also bend over backwards to refrain from saying anything about Blacks. As in Milwaukee where a black girl rioter said “White girl bleed a lot”, both she and the black gang were referred to as “Teens”.

Where was the media outrage when Obama insisted that the Ft Hood shootings were ‘Workplace violence’?
melancholy observer says
The media are deceitful.. Nothing to them is terrorism, unless there are official papers linking the violent acts to Isis. A frightful double murder in Queensland last yearwas declared by police and media to have nothing to do with terrorism even though the killer a French Muslim shouted Allah al Aquba as he stabbed a woman and her attempted rescuer to death. The President was ridiculed by the ‘Australian’ newspaper for raising this horrific incident as unreported terrorism. Surely acts of Islamic pride and Jihadism count for terrorism. Oh not according to the Western media. Soon we’ll need an email address to Baghdadi or someone to check terrorist credentials. Good on the President for trying to talk some sense as the West continues its march to suicide..

The criminals are referred to as “Asian” or even “British”.
Many incident are only reported if they come out on other media first.
jayell says
“Media respond with outrage and fury”…..What’s that famous quote? – ‘Methinks they do protest too much’, i.e., they’re trying it on. Well, the UK media have been ‘trying it on’ for decades now. For example, all the ‘asian’ (sic) grooming gangs whose adventures either haven’t been reported or have been given a few column inches somewhere in the inside pages whilst the headlines go to conveniently manufactured scandals. And the fools don’t know that we’re on to them or are so arrogant that they don’t care. So well done yet again, Mr. Trump!!
Anne Smith says
The MSM and the TV stations sat on the news of the Cologne mass rapes and attacks for fully five days before social media forced them – very unwillingly – to come clean.
Go Trump!!!!

I’m so fucking tired. What I will write here below, is not politically correct. But I don’t care. What I’m going to promote you all taxpayers is prohibited to peddle for us state employees. That tends to drive in a non-career and non-individual pay. Even though it’s true. I don’t care about all of this, will soon still retire after 47 years in this activity. I will now and every week to explain in detail what for employing me as investigators / investigator on coarse mcu police in örebro. It’s not going to be good with the opinion or other leftist kriminologers perception in the general debate.
Our pensioners is on its knees, the school’s a mess, healthcare is an inferno, the police have totalhavererat etc etc. We all know why but no one dare or wants to peddle the reason, due to the fact that Sweden always lived on the myth of prudes ultimate society who have osinnliga resources to be at the forefront when it comes to be the only politically correct option in a dysfunctional world that beats Knot on their own by destructive behavior in different name of.
Here we go; this I’ve handled Monday-Friday this week: rape, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, rape-assault and rape, extortion, blackmail, off of, assault, violence against police, threats to police, drug crime, drugs, crime, felony, attempted murder, Rape again, extortion again and ill-treatment.
Suspected perpetrators; Ali Mohammed, mahmod, Mohammed, Mohammed Ali, again, again, again Christopher… what is it true. Yes a Swedish name snuck on the outskirts of a drug crime, Mohammed, Mahmod Ali, again and again.
Countries representing the weekly all crimes: Iraq, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Somalia, Syria again, Somalia, unknown, unknown country, Sweden. Half of the suspects, we can’t be sure because they don’t have any valid papers. Which in itself usually means that they’re lying about your nationality and identity.
Now we’re talking just örebro municipality. And these crimes occupies our utredningsförmåga to 100 %.
So it looks here and has been like for the past 10-15 years.
Return next Friday with a statement for the past week ????

I hope you are right about Sweden and other European nations waking up to the Jihad threat.

Included in the list of “Fake” News networks should definitely be all the Canadian ones – CBC, CTV and Global. Not one tells the truth about radical Muslim crimes. Also, misinformation about President Trump is rampant, resulting in the same anti-Trump bias as in the US-left.
mortimer says
For some reason I can’t fully understand, most Leftists are emotionally invested in the ‘narrative’ (the assumption) that Islam is ‘a religion of peace’. This they believe with absolute BLIND FAITH.
In our day and age, TOLERANCE is seen among Leftists to be the ULTIMATE VIRTUE. For Leftists to hear that Islam actually teaches INTOLERANCE is a kind of heresy which contradicts their creed. They hold on to the their false belief with an intensity that is simply fanatical.
Fifteen years following 9/11 and after 30,000 deadly jihad attacks, the self-hypnotized Leftists continue to delude themselves that there is NO DOCTRINE in Islam that teaches warfare against the disbelievers. They consider such heresy to ‘hate speech’ and they are too lazy and too stubborn to look for the information to substantiate their claim.

All grimly true, Mortimer.
mortimer says
The White House communication department said: “…now they’re (attacks) happening so often … that networks are not devoting to each of them the same level of coverage they once did”.
The fact is that there are now about 4.5 deadly jihad attacks every single day, up from about 3 or 4 per week after 9/11. There are other jihad attacks that are foiled by law enforcement before the terrorists can carry them out.
THERE actually ARE MORE jihad attacks.
SweetOlBob says
Mortimer:
And if any terror attacks ARE reported, and some guy hollering Alley Snackbar (or whatever they holler), kills a group of people, the media says “Police are searching for a moltive”. What a bunch of liars !
TOM says
News services are still being influenced by OBAMA regulations. They need to follow Trump. TRUMP is our president now NOT OBama .
DP111 says
The BBC edited the first few minutes of the video that Muslim murderers of Lee Rigby, made after his murder. This is where they make the case that murder of Lee Rigby had clear mandate of the Koran.
It was only when bloggers put out the full video, that the BBC restored the original
BBC is now the Voice of Caliphate -fully funded by the state.
Dacritic says
“Motive was unclear.”
“Psychologically disturbed.”
“Mentally sick.”
Lucia Bartoli says
For every time the press does it wrong our POTUS does it right. God bless President Trump!
