Reflections From a Murky Pond

With certain forms of “Workplace Violence” on the rise in America you would think that the government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) would be taking some form of steps to ameliorate this growing risk to the ever-more endangered species known as the American Workforce.

Warning! Muslims Nearby

At a bare bones minimum, you’d think they’d demand at risk work sites to put up conspicuous warning signs of the potential hazard.

There’s one thing aside from arrogance, lack of propriety, and pathological mendacity that the American people can always trust Obama to do and do well – use race- or classed-based fear, hatred, and envy to stir up the Democrats’ key constituencies. The weight of the history of the boy’s efforts in these arenas cannot and should not be ignored by the American people, who are the ones targeted for reprisals by Obama.

And, of course he can find fecund ground for his screeds, being wise enough to stick to- and tailor his hate-speech to easily manipulated demographics. As an example, I present excepts of Obama’s recent remarks to the Congressional Black Caucus.

During the course of Obama’s speech his “took on” the grave issue of Ferguson and what it was indicative of…in a manner, of course, that set very well with the thugs-in-suits that make up the CBC.

Firstly, Obama tacitly excused the rioting and looting by the Blacks in Ferguson, MO. He made their feral response to the situation to be a possibly sad but definitely worthwhile thing since it sensationalized the mistrust between Blacks and the Police.

Now, I won’t comment on the investigation. I know that Michael’s family is here tonight. I know that nothing any of us can say can ease the grief of losing a child so soon. But the anger and the emotion that followed his death awakened our nation once again to the reality that people in this room have long understood, which is, in too many communities around the country, a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement.

Of course, this was expected and the only way that Obama could mention the Ferguson race riots while standing in front of the CBC. Hence, it could almost be excused since condemning the CBC’s constituencies for engaging in the “time honored” Black pursuit of rioting and looting would have been foolish. Nor is this a new rhetorical position for the boy.

What was equally expected but far worse was Obama’s misplacing of that distrust between Blacks and law enforcement and the blame for such pervasive and endemic distrust.

Too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement, guilty of walking while black, or driving while black, judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness. We know that, statistically, in everything from enforcing drug policy to applying the death penalty to pulling people over, there are significant racial disparities. That’s just the statistics. One recent poll showed that the majority of Americans think the criminal justice system doesn’t treat people of all races equally. Think about that. That’s not just blacks, not just Latinos or Asians or Native Americans saying things may not be unfair. That’s most Americans.

And that has a corrosive effect — not just on the black community; it has a corrosive effect on America. It harms the communities that need law enforcement the most. It makes folks who are victimized by crime and need strong policing reluctant to go to the police because they may not trust them. And the worst part of it is it scars the hearts of our children. It scars the hearts of the white kids who grow unnecessarily fearful of somebody who doesn’t look like them. It stains the heart of black children who feel as if no matter what he does, he will always be under suspicion. That is not the society we want. It’s not the society that our children deserve. Whether you’re black or white, you don’t want that for America.

How about the mistrust the “Black community” sows in police officers who have to patrol or respond to those hoods? What Obama ignores, willfully or through cultural blindness, is that every single time a law enforcement officer enters the hood, he or she is entering what amounts to a foreign and enemy land. Effectively, they’re “in country” and forced by basic survival instincts to behave as such.

Now that the Lamestream media has dutifully misreported and now buried the story of the murder and beheading of Colleen Hufford in Oklahoma City I decided it was time to weigh in and critique their (mis)represantion of the event and Jah’Keem Yisrael nee Alton Nolen.

Sanitizing Jah’Keem Yisrael nee Alton Nolen

The MSM’s Portrayal

Yisrael’s True Appearance

(Click to Enlarge)

The lengths that the lamestream media has gone to sanitize the image of Jah’Keem Yisrael is truly amazing. Firstly, it’s their constant reference to him as Alton Nolen when he had changed his name, at least for common usage, to Jah’Keem Yisrael. Secondly, it’s their near exclusive use of a photo of Yisrael from 2011 instead of a more recent one that shows his current appearance.

It’s truly amazing how far the media has gone to shield Islam from this vermin’s actions, irrespective of the fact that Yisrael is an extremely devout Muslim, was fired for suggesting Islamic punishments, i.e., stone, for female coworkers, and beheaded one of his victims in the same manner as Islamic fighters do.

The narrative, according the the MSM, is that this was nothing but a regrettable but isolated incident of random “Workplace Violence.” It wasn’t Muslim extremism and it certainly wasn’t yet another incidence of Muslim terrorism on US soil.

In this, the MSM may have a valid point. Yet the lengths that they’ve gone to ensure that their point is the only one available is ridiculous. I mean, talk about Anvilicious!

The Roots of Yisrael’s Savagery

As I said above, it’s my opinion that Yisrael’s savage, murderous rampage wasn’t primarily based upon his being a convert to Islam. Nor do I believe that it truly qualified as an act of terrorism.

First and foremost, Alton Nolen aka Jah’Keem Yisrael is a Black male. Indeed, he is a rather stereotypical Black male, with a history predating his prison conversion to Islam of both drug use and violence, including separate convictions for marijuana, cocaine, and assault upon a law enforcement officer. Seen in that light, his rampage makes perfect sense even without the Islamic component added to it.

From what I can determine, Islam’s involvement in the causation of his feral break with reality was tangential. His being a devout Muslim was part of why he was fired and may have provided Yisrael with some rationale for his response to it, but the boy was more than likely to have responded with murder in any event. No, the largest input Islam had on the Oklahoma City rampage was that it provided Yisrael the exact means of his violence, that of beheading one of his victims with a knife in imitation of the Jihadis.

From what I can tell, Yisrael murdered because he was just another Black male ghetto thug but he beheaded his victim because he was a Muslim. Hence, it’s not unfair to call it “Workplace Violence.” It also, however, not unfair to point out that, causative or not, Islam did color the events and greatly added to the bestially savage nature of them.
