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

Anti-Trump Leftist Muslim reporter arrested for Jewish Center bomb threats blamed on Trump supporters

Mar 3, 2017 12:43 pm By Robert Spencer

So many things illustrated here: the fanatical hatred of the Left; the absolute unscrupulousness of Leftists in their quest to defame and destroy those whom they hate and fear; the Leftist/Islamic alliance; the Jew-hatred of the Left in general and of Leftist “journalists” in particular; the credulousness or willful ignorance of the establishment propaganda media; and the fact that the Left will stop at absolutely nothing in its quest to destroy free societies. Juan M. Thompson took matters farther than his former colleagues at Glenn Greenwald’s Intercept, but he and they share the same mindset, world view, and goals.

“Anti-Trump Communist Arrested For Jewish Community Center Bomb Threats,” by Alex Pfeiffer, Daily Caller, March 3, 2017:

A disgraced former reporter was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Friday for several bomb threats to Jewish Community Centers, Jewish schools and other Jewish organizations around the country.

Juan Thompson, 31, was arrested in St. Louis by the FBI for making at least eight bomb threats and the cyberstalking of an ex-girlfriend. Thompson was a former reporter for The Intercept, and was fired after it was discovered that he made up sources and stories, including one about Charleston shooter Dylann Roof.

The criminal complaint states that threats made to the Jewish establishments across the country by Thompson were under his name and the name of his ex-girlfriend, and occurred after the relationship ended. The threats were made by both email and phone calls.

Dozens of Jewish Community Center bomb threats have occurred throughout the country since President Donald Trump’s election, and liberal groups and politicians have attacked Trump for them. The president condemned the threats during his address to Congress, but he reportedly said earlier that day, “sometimes it’s the reverse, to make people — or to make others — look bad.”

Thompson’s Twitter account, which is referenced in the criminal complaint, espouses communist and anti-Trump beliefs. Several tweets from the Twitter account are mentioned in the criminal complaint….

Thompson also tweeted about the Jewish Community Center threats as recently as this past week. “Another week, another round of threats against Jewish ppl. In the middle of the day, you know who’s at a JCC? Kids. KIDS,” the former reporter wrote Monday.
He also tweeted, “[Trump] is not insane. That’s a slur against ppl who actually suffer w/mental health issues. He is simply a racist/sexist/capitalist monster.”

    First, is needs to be make clear that the election of Donald Trump to the Office of the President of the United States of America is not the cause of bombs threats to Jewish community centers in the cities of this nation . As for those despicable terrorist bombs threat to Jewish centers . To even try to shift blame of President Trump totally nonsensical . For President Trump is a much more friendly US President to the Jewish State of Israel than the last US President ,who is that pro-Islamic Obama. Furthermore , those villains making those bombs threats ,whatever their sinister and insidious “reasons” to the “reason either because they hate the Jewish people or just because they want to make Trump look bad or both . This proves the old saying to be true .Which is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”
    Moreover , all this is a reminder that the former US President , William Howard Taft, had in a speech declared “Antisemitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out .it has no place in America.”

    Pretty sure this piece illustrates that “the left” re: the intercept doesn’t tolerate the sort of behaviour Thompson engaged in.

      Assuming they didn’t just let him go because he was exposed and would have let him continue if they could manage to hide his wrongdoing.

    M’kay, this is one guy they’ve caught, and I’m glad they have him. But I doubt he knocked over all those grave markers, little wuss that he is, certainly not by himself. Stay tuned, see what develops.

    Anyone who has listened to President Trump, knows this is ” socio-pathic hypocrisy” by the left,to to blame President for the many threats made to the Jewish community. He directly addressed Israel, and Jewish communities to offer his support. Contrast that with the indignant left and you realize they are slandering President Trump using the left media to deliver the message in an hateful attempt to blame the opponent, while looking utterly desperate and picking up a few “never read the news”crowd or the paid “ready to disrupt”, new hires.

    So, a Leftist convert to Islam decides he’s going to show his new faith by threatening Jews? And they blame TRUMP? Things like this actually make me warm to Trump and his administration, and more and more likely to immediately discount anything the Left and the MSM says.

    I really wish his twitter feed search went prior to December 6th, 2017. Can anyone assist me on how to do that?

    Regarding the man who called in numerous bomb threats to Jewish community centers : the Boston Globe via AP feed and the NYT have zero reportage regarding this man’s Communist and anti-Trump twitter rants.
    That wouldn’t fit into their leftist ant-Trump narrative .
    Unfortunately, their stories didn’t have comments sections.
    Another example of the fake news of the liberal press.

    The New York Times article about Thompson, of course, said nothing about the fact that he had converted once again to Islam.

    “… [today’s New] Left will stop at absolutely nothing in its quest to destroy free societies…”

    On the one hand they are intent on attacking and radically transforming the central, long standing institutions underpinning our civilisation, while on the other hand many of them are content to parasitize our existing society and milk it for all it’s worth.
