Exclusive: ‘Blame America First’ Takes Root in Fort Hood Narrative

  Comments (38)

The horrific attack on our brave American soldiers at Fort Hood brought to the surface many of the things that are wrong with American society. Most of the drive-by media were quick to blame the killings on the “stress” that had been placed on the (alleged) murderer, Maj. Hasan, an Army mental health provider.
 
In bold print above the fold, the New York Times explained to us the stress of going overseas and being deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan was the “trigger” that pushed Hasan over the edge. At the same time, a veterans group, meeting in Washington with Senate staff about the time of the shooting, said that the Army had failed to increase the number of mental health professionals working with U.S. soldiers coming back from the war zone and this was the reason for the killing spree upon which Maj. Hasan had embarked. Unremarked by the press coverage of the group’s claims was the seemingly obliviousness that Hasan hadn’t even gone to the war zone, let alone come back.
 
Thus while the need for caring for our soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan is unquestionable, the idea that we needed more shrinks to care for the shrinks state-side so they wouldn’t go “postal” seems a real stretch. But we shouldn’t be surprised. The New York Times especially has been pounding the drums that our soldiers, being overstretched and largely traumatized by their tours of combat in Afghanistan and Iraq, are returning home and committing violent crimes far greater than their numbers would suggest would be the norm if they were stateside. The template is recognizable — building the case day after day for leaving both Iraq and Afghanistan, because after all these all are “wars of choice.”
 
In attempting to “blame America,” in this case the policy of fighting in Iran and Afghanistan, the Times and others simply continued a policy that is exactly similar to the way they treat many violent crimes here in America. If the murderer is white, and can be linked to some kind of church-going when he was four, or to the NRA, meaning gun owning, or some fringe “militia,” then automatically a warped religion, excessive zeal for the second amendment to the Constitution, and an opposition to “government” is blamed for the killing. This then is blamed in turn on “talk radio” because of course somewhere on “talk radio” some conservative sometime during the past week had declared the need to reduce the size of government, protect second amendments rights and probably said a prayer at some high school, college or Elks Club meeting somewhere.
 
Thus the murder of a fellow citizen can always be placed at the foot of those “rascally Republicans,” to borrow from our brilliant friend Rush Limbaugh or “conservatives” in general. But should the shooter, Stanley Tookie Williams, or bomber, as in Bill Ayers, be part of a protected social or political class, the arguments completely change. Tookie was oppressed, you see. He came from poverty. He was, I guess, “stressed.” And despite murdering people in cold blood, for a few bucks mind you, he was lionized by the Times and other radical outlets because in jail he wrote children’s books and had become a “role model.” As for Ayers, we know the Weathermen, the violent wack-job group he belonged to, assumed a sort of beat generation aura of respectively like Che Guevara, although both were killers or advocated killing.
 
Other killers, especially cop killers, got international petitions signed to get them released from prison, or at the very least granted a pardon or clemency. But they had to be black, or Marxists, and thus part of a protected class. And so we come back to Hasan. We now find that while in Maryland attending school his ID said he was a “soldier of Allah.” He lectured fellow doctors on the need for violent Jihad, including his support of “suicide bombers” and the killing of American soldiers.
 
Despite American and coalition soldiers having liberated over 50 million Muslims from the tyranny and horrors of Saddam’s torture chambers and the prisons of the Taliban, Hasan was driven to “blame America first.” Sound familiar? We know he attended mosques in Virginia and Maryland where the hateful and violent creed of killing apostates, Jews and Christians was preached.
 
Where have we seen this before? In the Fort Dix case? In the case of the shooting at a recruiting center in Arkansas? In the case of the beheadings and torture the Baathists and Al Qaeda brought to Iraq and which the Taliban and al Qaeda continue to bring to Pakistan, Afghanistan and London, and Madrid and Bali? They are all operating on the same principle — it is all right, in fact commanded by God, to kill Americans, and Jews, and Christians, and apostates. But, God forbid, should we ever criticize Islamists or the imams and states that pretend that Allah gives them protection for their wanton acts of murder.  
 
And thus we must understand this same fervent murderous outlook motivated the attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, led by the bomb-maker Ramzi Yousef who was working for Saddam Hussein. Remember the February 1993 attack occurred exactly on the day that Saddam surrendered in Gulf War 1991. And the CIA Director who said the mastermind of the 1993 attacks was exactly the mastermind of 9/11 — but we seem to forget that al Qaeda was never blamed for the 1993 World Trade Center attacks, nor were the Taliban. 
 
Whether motivated by the obsession that Islam requires a global campaign of murder, or as a client of the Mullahs of Iran, Saddam Hussein of Iraq, or al-Assad of Syria, whether Hezbollah, Hamas, or the myriad groups that we lazily call “al Qaeda,” their aim is the same — the destruction of Western civilization, wreacking revenge against the United States, or the random killing of infidels protected behind the veil of a supposed religion, used by states, their intelligence agencies or police to destroy their enemies, garb riches and booty, or conquer lands. It is the same totalitarian tentacles we fought in Nazi Germany and throughout the half-century war against communism and the Soviet Union.
 
But these unpleasant facts we do not want to face. Much better to grip our fetish, (obsession?) with “multiculturalism” or as some call it “diversity,” and pretend that our foolish love of “the other” did not drive us to look the other way when confronted with Hasan’s rants some years ago — we would not want to get on the wrong side of CAIR, would we? Or face a lawsuit or angry worded press release should we say “Boo” to violent jihadis intent on killing us or their often state sponsors who hide in the shadows.

The main problem in America is our President and many of our congressman as well as Representatives. Political correctness is stress as well as they forgot HOW TO USE THE WORD TERRORIST.

The only thing wrong with America is that we put up radical Islam in our society. Freedom is wonderful, but there has to be a limit to what you can say and threaten to do, without being arrested. America, wake up to the threat of radical Islam and report anything you believe is a threat to law enforcement. We must not allow these lunatics to think they can spew their hatred of our society, without pay a price.

The problem w/America is that we've allowed & even emboldened the forces that contradict our historic Christian foundations by remaining silent while their "gods" are being crammed down our throats while we cower in dark corners because we have lacked the courage of convictions held, been apathetic and lacked the perseverance to engage in the fight for this nation's very survival. .

We've believed the lie told to us that Thomas Jefferson purportedly said that "there's a wall of separation of church of state." That's historically incorrect, but we've believed our "leaders." If that's so, how come we're engaging in pandering to the Muslims who commit such despicable acts of violence event against our own having said, "I'm a Muslim first" while having sworn to uphold this nation? How come we're "tolerating" corruption at every level of government, deviant lifestyles? When I went to school in the 50's the worst thing that went askew in the classroom, was talking out of turn, running in the halls ways, etc. Since kicking God out of our schools, and then murdering more than 50,000 MILLION unborn lives, we have descended into chaos at EVERY level. BUT few follow and connect the dots.

Wake Up America, and most of all WAKE UP Bible-believing Christians to the stewardship of your citizenship here on EARTH!!! We are NOT the intolerant who behead "apostates" or opponents and don't demand others believe as awe do in every jot & tittle. However, I for one will no longer "tolerate" voting for those who double-speak and then vote according to their conscience, or lack thereof. I will also NOT sit back and not do something about it. I'll continue to write the emails, make the phone calls, practically support those who've demonstrated integrity, honor & respect for this nation and its people. I'll continue to volunteer to help them and other organizations such as the ACLJ and Liberty Counsel who fight for US.

Imagine if our Founding Fathers hadn't stood unwaveringly upon their principles of faith and withstood the King of England. You and I wouldn't be having this conversation at all. So I say, wake up, stand up, speak up and engage in reversing the horrific trends we are witnessing. Stop just being an onlooker or armchair critic. Get into the fight & do SOMETHING practical. And, most of all, apologize to God for disrespecting Him and His loves for us. He's the who gave us this wonderful land and gift of freedom. Ask for Him to return to not only our nation but to our individual lives. He WON'T until YOU do so!

If it wasnn't for us, this guy would have not had the opportunity to even be in the Military. We need to tighten down on our Homeland Security in the Military and all over the rest of America. Make sure that there is NO other Attacks.!!

We have to get on the ball politically. So many americans don't vote, have not clue about anything politically when you ask them, or don't care. Well, you can lose a country by sitting on your tail and then it will be too late. Political correctness squelches our ability to voice opinions of injustices or situations and it seems the armed services is guilty. "No tolerance" is another problem we have. We throw out the ability to implement our common sense in various areas because of this practice. I agree with Carol D. The ACLJ is a very good organization to support. Without them many things would not be exposed.

If you felt like many the policies and economic decisions BHO was making didn't make sense it's because you incorrectly assumed he wanted what is best for America. If on the other hand you correctly identified his real purpose as being the complete, deliberate destruction of this country it all makes perfect sense. The soldiers murdered by the muslim ses- pool Hasan are casualties of the overal statist tactic bolstered by political correctness.
Anything that will give momentum to another liberal generated "crisis" is acceptible. Any means to declair martial law or some near resemblance is totaly acceptible. Would someone explain to me the need for Napolitano / BHO appointments of Arif Alikhan as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development at Homeland Security or the former Executive Director of The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, Kareem Shora as a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Board. That's a platefull.

Our society restricts our free speech only when we yell “FIRE” in a crowded
theater but allows a person to keep quiet if the theater is “ON FIRE” and
choses to say nothing because the fire may not be as bad as the people close

I read in another email of an article by a learned man who said that because the U.S. Supreme Court illegally said it was legal to abort unborn babies that America was deemed to be uncaring about human life.
Before that ruling in 1973, there had been only two terrorists act against America. Since then, well, we have lost count of the terrorist acts against America.
I read in another email that God's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah; and Mt Vesuvius' destruction of Pompeii was caused by God also. All were destroyed because of the iniquity there.
Much has been written about the end of days, i.e., Dec 21, 2012. At this point in time, God might allow the world to really end on that date. UNLESS, MAYBE, IF AMERICA GETS ITS HEAD OUT FROM WHERE THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE, AND STOPS ABORTING BABIES, AND STOPS JIHADISTS FROM EVER AGAIN KILLING ANYONE.

I have had enough of being politically correct. The Army is afraid to confront one of it's own who is sounding and acting more and more militant every day simply because he is Muslim. Anyone with a 3rd grade education knows most Muslims in this country are law abiding, productive persons. We had no problem calling McVeigh exactly what he was...a terrorist. Why on earth are we having this problem now? Because the White House generally sets the tone for the nation and Obama was too busy giving shout-outs to muster much anger upon hearing about Ft. Hood. The priorities in this administration are so skewed that they no longer seem to know right from wrong or just don't care.

What's wrong with America started way before Barack Obama and our current Congress. Think back to FDR and his "new bill of rights".These have been slowly implemented by anti-Constitutional politicians ever since, with the help of Leftists in the media and education. What Americans have failed to understand is that there is a flip side to freedom, that being morality and personal responsibility. We have also failed to understand that the Left's plan has always been to destroy America's society, culture and institutions so they can create their own "utopia". Just like Obama said, "fundamentally transform America". When you see Leno's or Hannity's "man in the street" interviews, and fully 1/3 of the people cannot even name the Vice President of the United States, you have to realize that the Left has made tremendous progress. The Republic cannot stand if our citizens remain willingly and willfully ignorant about who and what we are as a nation, and why.

Very well said, MaryAnn.

You know, when Mohammad created this rel,,,political ideology called Islam which means "submit or die, infidel", it was the perfect ideology...for conquest.
What better way to get inside the city walls in 680AD than via pious, religious monks preaching about a "religion of peace".
Islam was created, by Mohammad(not Gibreel) for the sole purpose of eating the guts out of a civilization to the point that it became so weak from within all the Arabic armies basicaly had to do was walk in.
If it weren't for the Crusades and the last stand at the Gates of Vienna in 1683 we would all be under the tyranny of Islam.
At the siege of Vienna, Islam was ready to overrun Christian Europe but the brave and wise soulds stood in defense of their principles and their faith in the Christ.
It seems to me that we have not learned anything from history.

US Senator for Israel weighs
in on Fort Hood shootings

US Senator Lieberman is an
Ashkenazi Islamophobe

by
Ernesto Cienfuegos
La Voz de Aztlan

Los Angeles, Alta California - November 10, 2009 - (ACN) Today President Barack Obama will be at Fort Hood, Texas to say some words on the shootings that took place at the US Army base on November 5. The shootings which killed 13 soldiers and wounded 30 others is the worst inside a US military installation and the third worst in US History. The second worst, coincidentally, took place just outside Fort Hood in 1991 when George Hennard massacred 23 people and wounded another 20 at a family restaurant.

[PHOTO] The alleged shooter is US Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a highly educated officer with a doctorate in psychiatry who is presently recovering from wounds received during the shootings at a San Antonio army hospital. Major Hasan is a Muslim who according to his family was constantly harassed by others in the military because of his faith. According to family members, Major Hasan was frequently demeaned by being referred to as a "raghead" and a "camel jockey." The harassment did not merely stop at name calling but also included physical attacks on his property.

According to a Killeen Police Department report, a White soldier who had just returned from Iraq in August, was arrested and charged with maliciously causing over $1,000 dollars in damage to Major Hasan's automobile. The bigot was not, however, charged with a hate crime even though he admitted he did it because he did not appreciate Muslims. A neighbor said Major Hasan was not upset by the incident even though his car was damaged so badly that he had to get a new one. According to the neighbor, Major Hasan forgave the culprit and moved on because it was Ramadan.

In addition, the manager of the apartment where Major Hasan lived in Killeen, said that a bumper sticker was torn off the major's automobile. He said the man who ripped off the bumper sticker objected to Major Hasan's faith. The torn bumper sticker said, "Allah is Love" which means God is Love. Fort Hood and the adjoining area in Central Texas is full of ignorant rednecks. These racist rednecks are similar to the vicious Minutemen vigilantes in Arizona who recently invaded the home of a Mexican-American family and murdered 9-year-old Brisenia Flores and her father.

;PHOTO] Today, Americans are again scratching their heads, like after 911, and trying to make sense of the Fort Hood shootings. Enter the Ashkenazi Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut who comes forward to explain the situation to perplexed and puzzled Americans. According to Lieberman, who represents the interests of Zionist Israel in the US Senate more than he does those of Connecticut, US Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan is a "dangerous terrorist jihadist working on orders from al Queda and on orders from the Imam Anwar al-Awlaki out of the Islamic country of Yemen and on orders from the Muslim Brotherhood and that in addition he yelled 'Allahu Akbar' during the shootings." Well this is pure Zionist hogwash! It is nothing but Ashkenazi propaganda now being parroted by every lackey in the Zionist controlled mainstream media. Unfortunately, naive "patriotic" Americans, the ones who like to wave the USA flag in political rallies, fall for these lies like they did by believing the "official" explanation of the attacks on the twin towers and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.

The true explanation for the shootings is that the Ashkenazis like Lieberman, along with others in Congress owned by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), have now involved the USA in a war of civilizations. This war pits the West against Islam and it has replaced the Cold War. Both wars have been extremely profitable for the Ashkenazis and the arms industry and it is to their interests to continue fomenting conflicts and especially in regions where they can benefit from the conquest of valuable natural resources such as gas and oil. The war against Islam in contrast to the so-call Cold War has special religious implications. It involves the creation of the Zionist state of Israel and the pushing out of the native Palestinians by the non-semitic Ashkenazis.

US Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan is a Muslim of Palestinian descent and the brainwashing of the American mind by the Zionist media against Islam resulted in ignorant White redneck soldiers insulting, demeaning and abusing the officer. These White soldiers are so uneducated that they do not realize that they are fighting and dying for the Ashkenazis. They should ask themselves, are the sons and daughters of the Liebermans fighting alongside their fellow soldiers? How many Ashkenazis completed boot camp along with all the Whites. Latinos and Blacks in their units? I would say none. They are too busy making money on Wall Street, running banks and working for Goldman Sachs in deals which lend money to the huge corporate weapons manufacturers. It has been known that the Ashkenazis, like the Rothschilds, have made huge profits by lending money to both sides of a war.

[PHOTO] Americans should stop believing lies if they are to save the country. They already fell for the lies that were utilized to attack Iraq. How many "patriotic" American families lost loved ones in Iraq? How about the lies that even fooled many members of congress when they approved the biggest money scam in the history of mankind and that was the 700 billion bailout most of which went into the pockets of the Ashkenazis. Remember Bernie Madoff? He is an Ashkenazi like Lieberman. Another Ashkenazi is Larry David(ovich) who recently offended the entire Christian world by urinating on a painting of Jesus Christ.

So do not believe the US Senator for Israel Joseph Lieberman when he talks about anything related to Islam or Muslims. We Californians are having our own problems with the Ashkenazis. Presently we have no choice among the candidates for the next governor of the state. There is the Ashkenazi US Senator Diane Feinstein and the Ashkenazi US Senator Barbara Boxer. Now we are having to put up with another Ashkenazi by the name of Meg Whitman who is a leading candidate for governor. Whitman worked and has strong support from Goldman Sachs. She owned E-Bay and through it had control of Pay Pal on the Internet. Some years ago Pay Pal froze our account because they did not like what we wrote and published. Worst of all, Meg Whiman's campaign manager is the notorious anti-Mexican former governor Pedro "Pito" Wilson.

Whenever I hear this "blame America" nonsense -- that somehow America's foreign policy or support of Israel,
or the wars in Afghanistan/Iraq are somehow to blame for these Islamic Terrorist attacks, I am reminded of
the following quote from Raymond Ibrahim:

"This threefold (Koranic) choice, then -- coversion (to Islam), subjugation (to Islam), or the sword -- is the ultimate source of problems.
All Islamist talk of jihad being the product of U.S. foreign pollicy is, therefore, false.

When bin Laden asserted in this last message thaat it is the 'neocons' who 'impose the wars upon you -- not the mujahideen [i.e., jihadis]',
he liked.

Islamic law, as he himself delineated, imposed war between Muslims and non-Muslims well over a millenium before the
'neocons' -- let alone the state of Israel -- came into being.

.. even if all your (bin Laden's) grievances against Israel and America's support for it were true,
why come to us -- your natural-born enemies, according to your worldview -- looking for concessions?
...
we, the 'infidels' -- Americans and Israelis alike -- are de facto enemies.

It is in this context that the question of U.S. support for Israel should be examined."

(And, here is the Money-Quote!)

"Being hated and deemed the enemy for temporal grievances of a political nature must
be viewed as peripheral to being hated for fundamental differences of an existential nature."

There is a certain element in our society and politics that is determined to undo everything that the Founding Fathers did.

When we allowed the politicians to dumb down our schools we gave the ok to start tis country on a slippery slide to being taken over.

All our history books have been revised until they no longer contain the information that really pertains to the founding of our country. The fictionalize our wars and why the battles were fought.

You wonder why the imbeciles who can't name our VP don't know who he is. It is because the important social questions of the day aren't allowed to be discussed in the schools today. Too politically incorrect. You might hurt someone's feelings.

Students no longer know how many members in the House of Representatives or in the Senate. They don't know the history of the Supreme Court. They don't know the Pledge to our flag. They only know that you can't say "under God" or celebrate Christmas anymore. Is it any wonder that they turn to the tv and the movies for their education? Our teachers are so confused about what they are allowed to say or do in the classroom that they just don't say anything. That is, unless it is instructing the children to learn and sing songs praising Obama. Obama is not a God. Let's take back our schools and see that the true history of our country is taught.

Let's be a little more serious at election time and research what a candidate stands for before giving him/her the right to speak for us. In other words TAKE BACK AMERICA.

THE ONLY way Americans are responsible for any wrong-doing in the Ft. Hood (and every other place where OUR COUNTRY IS BEING WRONGED) TREASONOUS ACTS by Hasan is that NO ONE STOOD UP TO HIM and to all the others that have been bullying us over the idelogy that have been being forceing on us in the name of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. I personally think that we should ship every person who doesn't like AMERICA the way it WAS, with a ONE WAY TICKET to wherever they think it would be better and more politically correct to live. We don't OWE any of those dissenters anything and we should simply ship them out of the COUNTRY. WE SHOULD VOTE OUT ALL THOSE WHO ARE SOCIALISTS AND LIBERALS under the guise of being do-gooders, enablers and helpers who only want to enslave Americans and America and RIP OUR CONSTITUTION UP AND PUT IT IN A SHREDDER.

Americans are too lazy to look at the entire picture. They look at the sugar coated outside and refuse to see the evil darkness inside. They do not want to take the time to see the reality that is hidden underneath the sugar coating.

Iam, and have been very ashamed of American citizens
for some time, because of their laziness. These people
take this great country
of OUR'S, and all that it represents for granted.
Most cannot seem to find a single moment to listen to someone trying to get all these points covered above across. Some will even label you a nutcase for speaking up.
My "two cents" at this point as to why such poor decisions are being made by our government.....
I recently read a report that states that 237 members of Congress are millionaires. This is 44%
of the body. Seven lawmakers have net worth's
greater than 100 million.
This same report states that some lawmakers did quite well for themselves
between 2007 and 2008, at a time when many Americans lost jobs,savings,and their home values plummetted.
Many of these same lawmakers profited from investments made with companies that received bailout money from the federal government.
WAKE UP AMERICA !
We are being raped and sold down the river by the very people who are supposed to be looking out for our best interests. Its all about GREED! We can sit around and write blogs,letters,tweet/tweet or whatever....they are not only not listening, the are blatenly ignoring us.
I am fighting mad, and you can bet your but that I'll be in the front lines- that is if there is anyone else willing to face the consequences for standing up for the US with me!

Fort Hood event was infuriating ... I am a Christian, living in Dearborn, MI and have had it with the Muslim population taking over our country with their gospel of hatred (don't even talk to me about peaceful Muslims) ... hatred never breeds peace! 50% of Muslims believe that they have every right to take the life of an infidel (that means every non-Muslim American or world citizen) ... in case you aren't connecting the dots ... the other 50% are their Muslim women having babies. America had better wake up or every city will be just like Dearborn. I want our cities back, our schools back, our nation back and most of all ... our LOVING GOD, JESUS CHRIST BACK ... JESUS IS LORD! Jesus Save America!

Peter Huessey has his finger on the pulse and reading the US media from afar has been a sobering experience. The Time magazine deserves to be censored for its biased articles, willing to blame everybody except Major Hasan and his Muslim friends. At least FSM has displayed courage in permitting the outrageous Ernesto Cienfuegos, a noted Marxist connected with La Voz de Aztlan (read Mexico and or half of the Southern states of the US to state his odious views. These are the people who associate with Castro, Chavez, Ortega and every yanqui-hater in the Spanish-speaking world along with their willing allies in the soft left. The latter are the architects of slack immigration procedures; multiculturalism and political correctness. I fear this incident at Fort Hood will not be the last. I also wonder how long the average American will permit this to happen without taking action of a more direct nature. If you don't beat them in Afghanistan and Pakistan, then expect to fight them in the streets of your cities.

Maj. Hasan deserves a quick trial - none of this hanging around for years before facing a jury. I would've thought a court-martial more appropriate. Could you imagine the outrage if an American citizen ran riot among Muslim communities with weapons? The blame game only works for them, not us because we are seen as the aggressors, possessors and crusading infidels. Perhaps it's time to take the war to the countries that support Muslim enclaves in the West. Why continue to support Saudi Arabia when it is well-known that Wahaabist doctrines are transmitted through madrasahs and mosques? Apart from Israel, there is no logical ally for the US in the Middle East and it's time to look for alternatives for the oil from that area. The US is rich in natural gas and oil shale. The solution lies with political will to tackle the subject.

Yes, there is plenty wrong with America. It is called FAR LEFT LIBERALS better known as DEMOCRATS led by a socialist/marxist President who has surrounded himself with like people. Remember HIS remarks (pre-election of course) "judge me by the people I surround myself with" or something pretty close to that. Lets see if after Hasam is found guilty if "O" can actually sign the death order on a fellow muslim.
