The “Islamophobia” shooting in Vermont
[Hat tip: commenter “Barry Meislin.”]
When three Arab Muslim students were shot and wounded in Burlington, Vermont, politicians and the media immediately hyped it as the ‘Islamophobic Crime of the Century’.
President Biden issued a statement declaring that “there is absolutely no place for violence or hate in America.” …
The three Muslim men [shot in Burlington, Vermont] identified as ‘Palestinian’, two of them were wearing keffiyehs and Kamala [Harris], like many other leftists, was implying that the shooter was ‘anti-Palestinian’.
“The idea that three young men walking down the street get shot, perhaps because of no other reason than they are Palestinian, is unspeakable,” Sen. Bernie Sanders said. ”But I gotta tell you, this is not just a local phenomenon, this is happening all over the country.”
Then he blasted Israel.
Of course.
More:
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee falsely claimed that “a man shouted and harassed the victims, then proceeded to shoot them. We have reason to believe this shooting occurred because the victims are Arab.”
In reality, they had been shot by a local resident outside his house who did not say a word.
The three Muslim men were returning home from a party on Saturday night when James J. Eaton, a local resident with a history of mental instability, stumbled out of a white clapboard house on the residential street and without a word fired four shots at the three men.
Eaton had been described as “that hippie guy” and “progressive”, an organic farmer who had posted a meme with a definition of “Amerika” that called it “the worst sense of the United States, ie imperialism, corruption and the global exportation of American culture.”
He appeared to be a Biden supporter …
In reality, Eaton supported Hamas.
On December 6, Seven Days, a local news outlet known for breaking stories about local politics, revealed that Eaton had tweeted, “the notion that Hamas is ‘evil’ for defending their state from occupation is absurd. They are owed a state. Pay up.” …
Local politicians were aware of this …
But the original narrative was so much more useful. The article goes on to detail a host of other “Islamophobia” crimes that were falsely labeled that way. But don’t sit on a hot stove till any of this becomes common knowledge.
NOTE: The propaganda use made of this incident reminds me somewhat of the murder of Matthew Shepard, which most likely was not motivated by homophobia, although it was consistently reported on with the homophobia motive angle.
I think the average citizen does not care about that. It’s like a separate world where events that don’t directly affect them happen. Over there. Somewhere else.
President Biden issued a statement declaring that “there is absolutely no place for violence or hate in America.” …
He should look in the mirror.
He continually expresses his hatred of Trump. He doesn’t he speak out against the violence and Jew hatred of the pro-Palestine protests.
Biden is full of hate for Trump and normal Americans. His open border policies are acts of violence against American citizens and the democracy he claims to champion.
He looks the other way when real hate and violence occur. He’s the epitome of man with no soul and no decency.
After Matthew Shepard’s death, I found myself regularly going past where he died.
Informed locals in Colorado and Wyoming understood this to be scam and a lie to keep the homosexual agenda one of targeted victims and Saints, victims of violence, struggling against vile persecution.
The truth that this was a drug dealer’s revenge over money—and thus entirely unrelated to his sexual orientation—was lost entirely on the casual observer.
The myth and the narrative was too valuable to let it go. And Obama simply improved on similar narratives, making it about a racial victim when it was not, over and over and over again.
The strange overreach concerning Trans Identity is only the latest and most extreme variation on this nefarious propaganda theme. Only much more ridiculous and evil.
Its oikophibia as with the pulse shooting which i wrote a long blog about the origins they believe it was about ‘hate’ but no particular source.

When your cause is righteous and you back it with a religious fervor facts do not matter. These people pursue power with a religious fanaticism.
Truth only has value if it serves the narrative. When it does not… lie.
There’s a reason the founders firmly believed in separation of Church and State. We now see hybrid versions ( climate change etc).
“don’t sit on a hot stove”. Channeling your mother again? I use that frequently and with some very modest success, I hear some of my neighbors use it too. I’ll keep trying to bring it into vogue but don’t sit……….

chazzand:
Yes, channeling mom.
Well, it’s in Burlington, which is just slightly to the left of Lenin…..
“These people pursue power with a religious fanaticism.”
Indeed.
Or put another way, “Power is the new Religion”. And attaining it has become the new Human Rights, the new Morality….
More precisely for the Democrats, Absolute Power.
Absolute power in the convenient guise of “Human Rights”.
Of “Justice”.
Of “Reparations”.
Of “DEI”.
Of “Open Borders”.
Etc.
Which is why the Constitution is their personal enemy and must be shredded.
Which is why SCOTUS—the only thing standing between them and Absolute Power—must be taken down.
(SCOTUS and to a similar extent, the military, LE, the justice system entirely, the Electoral College and the 2nd Amendment, etc…)
To be sure, power has always been the goal, but the dismantling of checks and balances to power—IOW the dismantling of the Grand American Experiment, the American Way—has never been under such relentless, perfervid, sustained, RELIGIOUS-STYLE or, if you will, Marxist, ASSAULT.
Starting with language, as Orwell has constantly warned us.
(In the current case, starting with TRANSFORMATION…
…and continuing with TRANS-everything…)

The MSM and government officials also do the opposite if the victim is a white heterosexual, especially if Jewish: No jumping to the conclusion of a hate crime, even if the perp is black or Muslim (or especially if). Like Paul Kessler, the guy who was killed in Los Angeles for carrying a pro-Israel sign. Or the Samantha Woll murder.
In the latter case they were probably correct. There was finally an arrest a couple of weeks ago of a black guy who entered her home and stabbed her while she was sleeping. I say “probably” because there are still things that don’t add up: No sign of forced entry, he didn’t steal anything.

As a Vermonter, I had been wondering about a motive for this shooting from day one. Thank you.
