Defund NPR: Man Plots to Kill Biden, NPR Omits From Story That He Was Bernie Bro With Books on Islam

Oct 29, 2020 7:00 pm By Robert Spencer 31 Comments

My latest in PJ Media:

We don’t really need yet another reason to defund NPR, but here’s a new one anyway. It reported on Friday that Alexander Hillel Treisman, a 19-year-old from North Carolina, was arrested when police investigating a report that his van was abandoned “looked into the van’s windows and saw an array of items: an AR-15 rifle, the box for a handgun, a canister of explosive material, and a box of ammunition, according to a court document. Police say they towed and searched the van, finding more than $500,000 in cash, drawings of swastikas and planes crashing into buildings, books on survival and bomb-making, and a half-dozen firearms.” Not surprisingly for one of the flagships of the hard Left’s propaganda machine, NPR left a few significant details out of its report.

The Daily Beast, of all people, fills in the blanks, reporting that Treisman’s van contained “books about survival, bomb making, improvised weapons, and Islam.” The books on survival and bomb-making made NPR’s report, but not the books on Islam. NPR seems to be following what has by now become standard establishment media practice: minimize, whitewash, or ignore outright any aspect of a news story that might make people think ill of the Left’s favored religion, Islam.

NPR also didn’t see fit to note that Treisman, who has not yet been charged for plotting against Biden but was charged early in October with possessing “a total of 1,248 videos and 6,721 images of child pornography content,” is not the “right-wing extremist” that many Twitter Leftists have assumed (and hoped) that he was. The first comment on The Huffington Post’s article is: “Another Trump-loving incel – complete with swastikas to boot. He bought the full MAGA package apparently. White House gift shop?” Another added: “The president is an inspiration to the next generation of domestic terrorists — ready to defend white supremacy to the death — nice work there Trumpers.”

But in reality, Treisman is not a Trumper, but one of the Left, a supporter of Bernie Sanders.

There is more. Read the rest here.

    This is shoddy speculation in the extreme! He had books on islam–what does that imply? That he’s a islamo? Maybe. That he is ANTI-islamo and just wants to know more about the enemy? Maybe. I often read books about ideas I DON’T like so I can find their weak points and contradictions.

      He said that he admired Jihad–that *does not* make him an Anti-Jihadist.

      “North Carolina Leftist who wanted to kill Biden to ‘save Bernie’ had pro-jihad video, praised 9/11”

    Alexander Hillel Treisman is misinformed:

    Former US VP Joe Biden, minus the thin veneer, would be as Far Left as Bernie Sanders – with the help of his Leftist / Marxist handlers…

    Biden will die or be declared non compos mentis under the 25th amendment within a year of taking office anyway … if he isn’t forced to resign. Picture Kamala becoming President and then picking Bernie as the new V.P. Oh, what a circus world of clowns it will be …. and White House Press Secretary will be Cardi B.

      Look at video of Biden in 2019 at Dem debates and he looked remarkably younger – just one year ago! He is declining rapidly, IMO.

    What a leftist rag the Huffington Post is.Today’s leftists always SNEER at the claim that the WEST has a JUDEO-CHRISTIAN heritage

    ( better said: it has accepted as part of its IDENTITY the Golden Rule which is the basis of the concept of HUMAN RIGHTS, due to Jesus of Nazareth)

    The Left is always proclaiming it is for human rights:right not to be discriminated,right not to be exploited,etc.

    THE FOUNDER OF LEFTISM AND COMMUNISM

    The creator of INTERNATIONAL LAW was a Catholic priest from Spain(16th century) called FRANCISCO DE VITORIA who condemned slavery,colonialism,imperialism.

    The founder of COMMUNISM was GRACCHUS BABEUF (1760-1797)

    1.He was an ATHEIST

    2.He opposed ROBESPIERRE’s Terror (1793-1794): the death of 40,000 INNOCENT citizens because they were seen to be enemies of the Revolution.

    3.Robespierre and LAZARE CARNOT were in charge.Carnot was a MATHEMATICIAN who was responsible for saving the revolution against foreign armies using his scientific knowledge,he is known as the ORGANIZER of VICTORY.

    His son SADI CARNOT was a scientist,called the FATHER of THERMODYNAMICS.

    4.Due to Human Rights abuses the people of the region called VENDEE revolted.They have discovered a DOCUMENT signed by ROBESPIERRE and CARNOT (father) that
    authorized the EXTERMINATION of the people there.

    100,000 were killed of which 80% were OLD, WOMEN and CHILDREN ( non-combatants).

    5.Babeuf condemned it all in his book about La Vendee in 1794 called “On The System of Depopulation” and called it “populicide”.TODAY we would say GENOCIDE.

    THE INFLUENCE OF JESUS

    I said that VITORIA was against colonialism,imperialism,slavery,it’s obvious it was due to the Golden Rule/Law of Reciprocity.Guess what,BABEUF was:

    1.Against COLONIALISM

    2.Against SLAVERY

    3.For WOMEN’s RIGHTS: women should have the same rights as men.

    COMMUNISM

    Babeuf tried to OVERTHROW the government in 1796 in the CONJURATION DES EGAUX/ Conjuration of the Equals. They failed and were EXECUTED

    Babeuf wrote for it the MANIFEST DES EGAUX/ Manifesto of the Equals, and it is this document that made MARX and ENGELS say that Babeuf was the FATHER of COMMUNISM.He wrote:

    1.He was for the ABOLITION of PRIVATE PROPERTY

    2.It declared to approve of the Revolution’s DECLARATION of HUMAN RIGHTS

    3.He was for “PERFECT EQUALITY”( abolition of social classes )

    and “BONHEUR COMMUN”(it could be translated as “HAPPINESS for ALL”

    4.He was for COLLECTIVIZATION of LAND and MEANS of PRODUCTION

    More LEFTIST than that,impossible. It is OBVIOUS the ideas,or the essence of it, is derived from the Influence of Jesus,who was Jewish(Judeo) and had the title of Messiah(Christ).

    “NPR seems to be following what has by now become standard establishment media practice: minimize, whitewash, or ignore outright any aspect of a news story that might make people think ill of the Left’s favored religion, Islam.”
    Here is another example of how Media whitewash islamic jihad terrorism….9hrs after the first beheading of a teacher, a major tv news channel presenter described the beheading as..”there has been a stabbing in Paris where a man has died”. Zero mention of islam or beheading or muslim. Typical whitewash.

    So very weary of supposed conservatives joining the left in their constant changing of word meanings, to advance their agenda and to attack people on the right. Never in history, before Obama, did the ‘far right’, mean nazi or leftest. Always always always, the farther right a person was, the more devout they were in their conservatism, and in most cases the closer to Christ they lived. On the same token, the farther left one was, the farther into progressivism, sexual depravity, moving from socialism to communism to fascism. The farther left, the farther one lived from God. But now, the good guys are joining the bad guys in their move from logic and reality, by saying the farther right one goes in their ideology, the closer to evil they become. It’s now beyond frustrating to know I can no longer trust the reasoning abilities of those who used to know the difference between good and evil. They now join the leftests in blurring the lines. They do it in service to the left, whether it be on a subconscious level, to sound ‘cool’, or to knowingly please the tyrants? Who knows? I will no longer tolerate this dastardly attack on the right, by people supposedly on the right.

    Stopped listening to NPR after one of its imbeciles driveled on about an environmental apocalypse. NPR stands for what? “Not Professional Reporting.” Hmm, maybe: “Neues Pravda Radio”? How about National Propaganda Radio? Take your pick; yet another media outlet that claims to be professional but really shreds what little is left of journalistic integrity in exchange for ideological lunacy.
