Tennessee: Trump-Hating ISIS Admirer Threatens to ‘Blow Someone’s Brains Out’ at State Capitol

Aug 29, 2019 6:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media:

Nathan Semans of Waverly, Tenn., appears to be a terrorist, and just the sort that the establishment media loves best: from the looks of the photo that the Tennessee Highway Patrol released, he is not only white, but a southerner who is overweight, angry, and mean. He is even wearing an AC/DC t-shirt. He sent an email to WKRN, a TV station in Nashville, that included terrorist threats. Someone who believes CNN will assume that Semans is a redneck, Trump-supporting yahoo with a closet full of MAGA hats. Only he isn’t, which is why you likely won’t hear about this story anywhere except here.

Nashville’s WTVF reported Friday that Semans wrote:

Look if you don’t run story I’m going to state capital to blow someone’s brain out. I don’t look good at the moment cause the tyranny of what trump did, the nature of this call is secret. You think I’m kidding trump belongs in the dumpster from a cool kid. Knock it off I’m human. I’ll immediately leave this country on a double once my passport clears, I’m sick of this nonsense and bologna hanging around that trumps the perfect American, hallelujah against trump I recommend you forward to the table of the news room or I join ISIS to seek revenge.

It is unclear whether Nathan Semans is a convert to Islam or simply a sociopath who admires the Islamic State’s vicious brutality. After all, jihad is chic today. The Times reported as far back as 2014 that “one in seven young British adults has ‘warm feelings’ towards Islamic State, according to a poll. Isis is riding a surge of ‘anti-politics’ sentiment among disaffected under-35s who admire the jihadists’ courage, academics warn. A tenth of Londoners and one in 12 Scots view Islamic State (Isis) favourably, but sympathy for the militant group reaches its highest levels among the under-25s.”

In India that same year, according to The Hindu, “a group of 26 Muslim youths caused a flutter when they posed for a photograph, sporting black T-shirts with the emblem of the ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and al-Shams) in front of a mosque at the coastal town of Thondi in Ramanathapuram district on Eid day.” They weren’t terrorists; they were just partakers of jihad chic: “After one of them posted the photograph on Facebook, which went viral, the police swung into action but found none of them had any direct or indirect link with the ISIS, which was battling the governments of Iraq and Syria, or any other fundamentalist Muslim outfit. ‘The police questioned B. Abdul Rahman, 24, who had ordered the T-shirts from a garment company at Tirupur, but found nothing incriminating,’ said Superintendent of Police N.M. Mylvahanan.”

Nothing incriminating?

There is much more. Read the rest here.

    As someone who is very smart on Jihad Watch said recently:

    “Tolerance is generally a good thing–but tolerance of evil is suicidal.”

    • Angemon says

      Aug 29, 2019 at 6:55 pm

      “Tolerance” has a bad aftertaste – as if one begrudgingly accepts something they would reject, if they could…

      • CRUSADER says

        Aug 29, 2019 at 7:55 pm

        I literally was at one of those liberal “openminded” (lost their heads)
        churches in Portland OR after New Years, when I was handed a
        special word for the year to follow…

        It was “Tolerance” !

        Ha!

        I looked up the definition immediately because the situation didn’t sit well with me — only to find out the word means to ENDURE !

        So, it isn’t all that distasteful — and not about respecting the un-respectable,
        but to withstand matters regarding the subject….

        Ergo, the war went onward for the year!

          Recently, I had to have a procedure on my eye to stop a split retina from getting worse. It is what is called a retinaschisis. My kind is rare, and usually doesn’t need treatment, but mine did.
          The procedure was a laser to the eye…not just once, but multiple blasts. My eye was being burned over and over and it hurt like h e double hockey sticks. It lasted for quite some time…long, long minutes. I would guess at least 30 or more blasts to the eye.

          The doctor was explaining to the student watching that because of my coloring, it was necessary to have the power at the highest. If I had been allowed to move enough to scream, I would have.

          Endurance.

          I tolerated it for the good it was going to do. I can’t tolerate evil, although Jesus said that we must “endure to the end.”

          I believe there are subtle, but important, differences in the two words.

          You are a brave person. Somehistory, and I’m so grad this procedure was successful.

          And yes–tolerating something difficult because it has an ultimate benefit is *entirely* different from enduring something painful that will only make things worse.

        • somehistory says

          Aug 29, 2019 at 10:58 pm

          Thank you very much, g.

          I saw him this week and he informed me that another part of my eye may need him and his laser. I asked if it would last as long because I didn’t think I could take it again. He said, “you can take whatever I have to do.” But he also said it wouldn’t be as bad.
          He will let me know on the next visit…early Sept… if it will be necessary. i pray not.

        • gravenimage says

          Aug 30, 2019 at 9:51 pm

          Hang in there, Somehistory. If it is OK, I will be praying for you.

      • Sandra Lee Smith says

        Aug 30, 2019 at 3:43 am

        And in many cases, so it should. Things we tolerate,are usually not worthy of higher esteem.

        • J D S says

          Aug 30, 2019 at 10:19 am

          Hey somehisory….I had the same procedure and I surely agree it was no fun but the outcome was worth tolerating, what to me, felt like two people with sledge hammers pounding me on each side of my head. and now I have macular degeneration…anyway..This nut sure don’t represent the great state of Tennessee. Visited the State many times and always found the people very very nice.

        • somehistory says

          Aug 30, 2019 at 12:00 pm

          J D S

          I’m sorry you had to feel the pain. And for the MD.
          My dr was trying to keep the split from causing another retinal detachment (caused by my very long eyes and severe myopia). Unfortunately, the schisis had spread beyond what he could see, and the retina detached anyway. If it does so again, I will have to have a band put around my eye.

          I, too, have been to TN many times. it is a beautiful piece of the country and I get emails from Chattanooga about what is going on there. And you are right about this miserable creep not representing the people of Tennessee. Just as hassan shibley doesn’t represent Florida, and sarsour doesn’t represent all of NY.

        • gravenimage says

    I would hope that statement has earned this guy a visit from your FBi and homeland security services (and even your Presidential Secret Service, given the nature of the threat)
    Thankfully, in Australia, making any such public declaration or statement of that nature these days will attract a visit from the Feds and similar services.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 29, 2019 at 10:19 pm

      He’s been arrested, Trick_or_Treat:

      “Tennessee man arrested after terrorist threats against ‘state capital’ over dislike of President Trump sent to news station”

        I’ve been trying to post links under the more complete name “Flavius Claudius Iulianus Augustus” but they have all been blocked. So I said to myself, “what the …….” I”ll just walk away!

        • somehistory says

          Aug 29, 2019 at 11:04 pm

          A couple of days ago, everything I tried to post returned as an error with a sad-faced computer screen. I tried several times on one thread and on several different threads and all had the same result.
          I tried restart and cleaning cookies, scanning, and nothing worked. But the next day, all was fine again.

          thanks for the news link.

        • Flavius Claudius Iulianus says

          Aug 29, 2019 at 11:17 pm

          I’ve set Firefox (I can’t believe some people still use Chrome) to delete all cookies upon closing and to only allow cookies after asking me. That way I fly through the inter-sphere without being ID’ed.

          BTW, on a story a week ago, I posted a comment that was only an ellipsis (…) using the Flavius Claudius Iulianus name. Then I replied to that comment with the same ellipsis using the Flavius Claudius Iulianus Augustus name. Both appeared, no problem. Some kind of flaky security thing, maybe: can’t have two different names with the same email if you want to post a link.

        • gravenimage says

          Aug 29, 2019 at 11:19 pm

          Flavius, you might try writing to Marc Louis at the “Contact Us” (technical issues) box. He has been very helpful to me several times now.

        • somehistory says

          Aug 29, 2019 at 11:33 pm

          For most, I use Brave. I still have edge for some news items, and explorer was installed already when I bought the pc. .. and although I never use it, it leaves cookies. I use an anti-virus thingy to remove all of the cookies left by edge and explorer.

          Since I didn’t know the source of the problem, I was trying everything.

          I tried listening to the stories on the link yo provided, but it was all about China invading Hong Kong…the long bridge they built and the war on the protesters.

        • Flavius Claudius Iulianus says

          “I tried listening to the stories on the link yo provided, but it was all about China invading Hong Kong…the long bridge they built and the war on the protesters.”

          There’s not much more about the story about Ilhan other than the video clip of her calling for the UN to take over US immigration. But this is all connected. The invasion of HK is connected to the invasion of the US southern border and the hijrah into Europe. (You should see the clip of Mexican riot police trying to control imported African migrants!) It’s all part of the same plan … the “plan to end all wars.” It will end all wars alright ….. and replace it with an international government tyranny where a few select elites will live lives of obscene luxury, and the VAST majority of humanity will suffer unbelievable poverty and the endless boot of oppression on its neck.

          The Internationalists have signed on to this plan. So have the super-rich puppet-masters and all of Islam (its right there in their holy books). So has the idiotic ideologue turncoat SJWs. And they’ve all signed onto it thinking they, and only they, will come out on top.

          Want to stop Islam? Then help stop this plan.

          Thanks for the extra info. The link you (no typo this time, hopefully) provided led me to other sites with more information on what omar wants the U.N. to do.

          It does all fit in with the plan of the devil to lead all of mankind into the pit with him. If more people read and understood the Book of Revelation, they would see what is really going on, but they are blinded by satan and the lure of having power over others. And as you say, living in “obscene luxury.” They are very much like the ‘god’ they are worshipping, who craved power and glory for himself.

      @ “Ilhan Omar Calls For UN Occupation Of United States…”

      You’re kidding! How the f**k does that work? Talk about delusions of grandeur, this women seems to be more than just a little bit carried away with herself now. I can’t even understand why such a person would still be sitting in your Congress after having said something like that. I’m just contemplating what would happen here in Australia in the event of such a situation where some member of the House of Reps or the Senate called on Australia to be occupied. I imagine that they would be censured and removed from Parliament.
      Isn’t she even the least bit worried or wary about what she lets come out of that mouth of her’s?

      • somehistory says

        Aug 30, 2019 at 11:32 am

        No, she is not worried. She is drunk with power and blinded to the truth of things by her ‘god’ and father, satan the devil.

      You mention China..

      Interestingly enough,apparently now in China,islam is considered… a mental illness.

      The Chinese won’t tolerate islamic supremacist ideology at all.They will not put up with it.
      {And the Japanese have strict rules about who stays in their country:not like the idiotic Europeans etc with their open borders lunacy}

      Those who follow the sunnah:they reveal the MAD in muhaMAD{peace,blessings and good christmas cheer be upon him!…….. in his current infernal abode….}

      No wonder islam attracts the losers,the psychopaths,the misfits and the sociopathic failures in life.

      islam:NOT the religion for smart people.

      • FYI says

        Aug 30, 2019 at 5:47 am

        BTW

        I’m not saying I approve of what the Chinese are doing{I sympathise in fact with the Hong Kong protesters}..but the point is that they won’t tolerate islamic supremacist ideology threatening their national security.
