Fake News Strikes Again: CNN Downplays New Orleans ISIS Attack.

Thursday’s CNN Newsroom cast dissed the Democratic Mayor of New Orleans for calling the ISIS attack an act of terrorism.

Juliette Kayyem, a security analyst who thinks Trump is a terrorist, patronized Mayor LaToya Cantrell and others for believing what they saw- explosive devices and a truck plowing into a crowd with an ISIS flag.

CNN’s Pamela Brown asked Kayyem, “You say ‘we’re looking into all possibilities’ because it’s so early, you don’t really know. And there were these explosive devices. This suspect shot at police and hit two police officers. Ten people are killed. More than 30 in the hospital…how do you see this?” Brown looks dismayed and speculative thought crossing her facial expression.

The definition of terrorism is an attack on civilians by a non-state actor in order to intimidate them in pursuit of a religious and or political objective. If what happened in New Orleans does not fit that definition, then what does?

Kayyem replied, “Yeah, I just think the mayor made a mistake. Let’s just, you know, in some ways, move on. It has to be clarified. I do not think she should have come out. You actually saw the people behind her, sort of, flinch. She was speaking as a politician and as someone who governs the city that this was terrorizing. It was terrible. It was terror for those there. But we are now in the investigation and prosecution stage.”

CNN Newsroom dismissed the clear definition of terrorism, discrediting those aware of the threat. One side marches under the banner of pride, the other expects public panic- irrational people, allegedly suspicious of violence. The Left’s fake sense of tolerance demolished in the realm of common sense.

    Wow imagine that. There was a person in our military that had obvious mental problems. This is evident by his insane actions. I am sure that he is not the only person in the military that has mental problems.

    NOTE: This is nothing new. I have been involved in counter-terrorism since 1975. I have encountered friends of Muslim terrorists among the news media, the political community, bureaucrats, academia, and/or simply ignorant people from all walks of life. See my comments below. Soldier/Cop, Retired.

    All Americans, do you really understand Islam? You best read the article below and do some serious research. Your very life may be at risk! Most important, ask yourself why so many government officials and the media in the so-called Free/Western world tend to downplay and/or avoid detailed disclosures when reporting on incidents involving Muslim perpetrators.

    QUESTION: May an old soldier/cop with many years of experience combating all manner of terrorism ask all of you who are currently demonstrating in many different ways that you sympathize with and/or support varied Muslim causes (i.e. pro-Palestinian, anti-Jew, anti Israel, pro Hamas, anti-Christian, anti-America, pro-Iran, etc.) a question? Just how much do you know about the mandates/tasks given to Muslims over 1400 years ago by the Prophet himself? Suggest all those non-Muslims feeling and/or demonstrating sympathy for any/all Muslim causes take note. Muslims were charged over 1400 years ago to rid the world of non-believers, install Sharia as the law of the land, and establish Islam as the world’s only religion.

    In 1982 a team of army officers were charged by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs after the kidnapping of an army general (December 1981) with the tasks of assessing the primary threats to DOD personnel deployed overseas, and developing doctrine for combating the same. The team presented the results of their assessment to the Reagan administration clearly identifying the ‘Primary Threat’ to DOD personnel in the spring of 1982.

    Take note, that ‘Primary Threat’ was then as it is today, except today it applies to ‘All Americans’. That ‘Primary Threat’ is the threat presented by radical Muslims to all non-believers. Like most of the so-called ‘Free World’ has been doing for many years, the Reagan administration did not take the team’s assessment to heart until over 200 military personnel were killed by a single Muslim suicide bomber in 1983.

    Sadly and tragically every administration starting with Bill Clinton has downplayed the Muslim threat. George Bush turned his Counter-Muslim terrorists campaigns into country building campaigns primary aimed at making billions for the American Military/Industrial/Political Complex. Only Donald Trump attempted to find a compromise with Muslim world. As soon as Joe Biden stole the Presidency did we see how easy it was to negate Trump’s efforts and provide opportunities around the world for Muslim radicals to complete the tasks Mohammad gave them. What Joe Biden has done will more than likely enhance completion of the Muslim’s objectives beyond measure. As a Christian soldier I believe we have reached the point that the return of Jesus may be the only hope of survival for the non-Muslim world.

    Suggest all non-Muslims consider the words of one of the army officers who served on that 1982 team presented to a large gathering of college students at the invitation of their college shortly after the Biden administration abandoned many Americans and our Afghan allies when he literally surrendered to the Taliban.

    “The only tactic that has any hope of deterring the Muslim threat is to kill them in their beds before they kill us in ours!”
