A bomb squad has been sent, tourists are stampeding, and cops are everywhere. Even if this turns out to have nothing to do with jihad, it indicates the panicky frame of mind that prevails today. Even when they aren’t doing anything, jihadis have succeeded in fulfilling the Qur’anic command to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (8:60).

“New York Port Authority ‘explosion’: Terrified tourists ‘stampede’ amid reports of enormous blast at Manhattan’s main bus station,” by Sophie Evans, Mirror, December 11, 2017:

An explosion has reportedly gone off at New York’s main bus station – with terrified tourists seen “stampeding” from the scene.

A bomb squad has been dispatched to Manhattan’s Port Authority Bus Terminal following the reported blast, witnesses claim.

Taking to Twitter this morning, one woman wrote: “Just was stuck in a running stampede at port authority bus terminal due to bomb scare.”

She added: “Cops EVERYWHERE.”

The reports are currently unconfirmed….

      Jimbo, i think the left are not so stupid. the hard left are incapable of winning an election when a society is functioning well, and every time they have successfully seized power, society was awash in chaos. i believe that they have learned from both their mistakes and successes of the past century, and the rest of us are incapable of grasping the depths of depravity to which they are willing to descend to seize power.

      the left learned early on, in their revolutions in 3rd-world countries, that it paid to teach people to read, and then provide all the reading material (propaganda, of course). doing so gave them as much as 10 to 20 years of little opposition (especially since they always took pains to kill anybody who might become an opposition leader), after which they had all the children brought up as leftists. whatever a child learns in early childhood sticks with a child very well, so it took a lot for people brought up in socialist systems to overcome that early-implanted bias. in the west, the left took control of the universities first, and then moved down the age levels, until by the 1990s or so (in the u.s. and canada, anyway), they controlled every level of education. they have replaced the teaching of critical thinking with memorization of leftist platitudes, and are pushing the envelope by pushing back the first age of formal instruction as far as possible so as to be able to implant their leftist ideas in the minds of small children who are defenseless learning sponges. there is no research supporting “pre-pre-K” education, yet one never hears that, and always hears that it is good. the net result is that anybody who has gone through the indoctrination centers (excuse me, public schools) to any level in westernized countries is at least a nominal leftist, because they don’t know anything else, and only rarely see any opposing opinions.

      the result of “education” in the west is that governments usually lean to the left of center. parties don’t really matter, because almost everybody adheres to the same beliefs, and since the people staffing and elected to the government are drawn from the general (leftist) population, they are leftist as well. the media is likewise staffed with leftists. somewhere, somehow, the left decided that they should import muslims to destabilize society. when it’s no longer safe to go out to buy groceries, it will be necessary for the State to declare martial law. martial law means that ordinary law is no longer observed; the government will not report its machinations to the public (unless it is advantageous to the rulers to do so). this will make it far easier for the hard left to execute a coup, especially if a hard-core leftist like mr. obama or ms. clinton is already at the top. if the leader is not a dedicated hard-core leftist, they can approach him, and if he will not cooperate with a coup, it would be far easier to assassinate and replace him with a more-compliant puppet or with a hard-core leftist than it would be to actually try a coup under ordinary circumstances.

      so no, Jimbo, i no longer believe that the left are idiots. yes, the large majority of those who call themselves liberal are foolishly swallowing the latest memes as gospel, refusing to check anything out because it might be racist to do so, but it’s hard to throw rocks at somebody who is simply being human. these people have not been educated (i was not, and it took me *decades* to recover and be able to figure out what could be going on), are not being told the truth, *and* are being warned off those who might teach them the truth by the “racist” and “islamophobe” calumnies. i have been in their shoes, and i am furious about the lies i was taught.

      this does not mean that i will immediately go out and attack anybody who spouts the bulls**t of the left. again, ignorance is neither evil nor stupid; it is simply lack of knowledge. in my life, i have learned that i am not usually able to convince other people of my beliefs, especially when i become confrontational and angry. instead, the best approach is to be polite, and simply ask questions that are hard to answer without knowledge, and which give people an incentive to look for themselves. one usually needs to tailor one’s conversations and questions to the person with whom one is speaking. even when a liberal gets confrontational, one can suggest that they look at the quran and sunnah themselves, pointing out that it would be better to argue from a standpoint of knowledge, so as to shut a knuckle-dragger like me down – with the *truth*. finally, there are actually liberals who have investigated islam, and who have come round to the truth. the man who comes to mind is eric allen bell; i may have political differences with him, but he, too, believes that islam is a vile criminal cult. there is hope, and we need to look for help wherever we can find it among our fellow citizens.

    In regard to Koran 8.60 (terrorize them), Dutch Arabist Hans Jansen wrote: “a number of Muslims take 8:60 as a command to terrorize non-Muslims. The verse actually uses the word turhibuuna, which in contemporary Standard Arabic definitely means ‘you terrorize’. A court interpreter who during a trial translated ‘you terrorize’ with anything else than ‘turhibuuna’ would be replaced instantaneously – if found out.”

    An explosion was reported Monday near the Port Authority Bus Terminal, sending early morning commuters scrambling.

    The NYPD said it’s investigating.

    The alleged blast also shuttered the 1, 2 and 3 subway lines and locked down the area around the bus depot, which is between West 40th and West 42nd Sts. and Eighth and Ninth Aves.

    “I was exiting the Port Authority and the National Guard was running towards something shouting “Go, Go, Go,”” commuter Keith Woodfin tweeted Monday morning.

    Designer Chelsea LaSalle tweeted that she was “stuck in a running stampede at port authority bus terminal due to bomb scare. cops EVERYWHERE.”

    The bus terminal, which services commuter buses from New Jersey as well as long-distances ones by Greyhound and Peter Pan, handles an average 250,000 passengers a day.

    The idiotic progressive left wing mayor running NYC will blame this on Trump.
    Ignore the facts
    1-Trump was not President during the first WTC bombing in Feb. 1993{ William J. Clinton was}.
    2-The bombing of our Embassy in Tanzania in 2000Trump was not the president{ William J. Clinton was}
    3-The bombing of the American navel ship Cole was in 2000 Trump was not President { William J.Clinton was}
    4-The second Islamic terror attacks on the WTC on 911 Trump was not president{Bush was}
    5-Too many Islamic terrorist attacks around the world and in America to list under Obama mostly Obama refused to call them Islamic Terror attacks{workplace violence , lone wolf, mental unstable individual ,non religious Moslem, not representing Islam religion ect.}
    6-This mayor of NYC is pushing the sanctuary cities envelope , the city was handing out IDs to undocumented illegal aliens under his instructions. When the Feds ask for this information the city gathered he order all information destroyed. When an illegal alien is arrest and held without bail charges of a crime he has order the Correction department of NYC not be notified the Feds.

    “Tourists ‘stampede'” == terror

    Success, even if no one is harmed. “Stampede” is enough to put a smile on an Islamist’s face.
