PC Kills

San Bernardino Attackers’ Friend Spoke of ‘Sleeper Cells’ Before Rampage - The New York Times: "RIVERSIDE, Calif. — The regulars did not take it seriously when Enrique Marquez mused about terrorism at Morgan’s Tavern, a dank dive bar where Mr. Marquez hauled ice, cleaned bathrooms and checked IDs at the door. After a few drinks, he would just start talking — about his money woes, trying to lose weight, wanting to join the Navy. News reports about terrorism were just fodder for more bar talk.

“He would say stuff like: ‘There’s so much going on. There’s so many sleeper cells, so many people just waiting. When it happens, it’s going to be big. Watch,’ ” said Nick Rodriguez, a frequent patron who had known Mr. Marquez on and off for the past two years. “We took it as a joke. When you look at the kid and talk to him, no one would take him seriously about that.”"

Alarmingly High

Byron York: Trump and Muslims, by the numbers | Washington Examiner: "Read the numbers however you like. Some stress that large majorities of Muslims in the United States and in some other countries oppose such violence under all circumstances. Others point to those Muslims in the United States who believe it is justified in at least some cases — 13 percent — and say that is an unacceptably high number. And of course, Trump's proposal targets Muslims from other places in the world coming to the United States, which involves some Muslim-majority countries in which approval of violence in the name of Islam is alarmingly high."

Trump v The Big Lie

Donald Trump: British police officers warn about growing ISIS radicalisation in London | UK | News | Daily Express: "The anonymous officer wrote on the online forum Police.Community: “I’m not allowed to travel in half blues to work anymore IN MY OWN CAR as we're ’All at risk of attack’ - yet as soon as someone points out the obvious it's 'divisive.'"

He added: “In this instance he (Trump) isn't wrong. Our political leaders are best either ill-informed or simply being disingenuous.

“He's pointed out something that is plainly obvious, something which I think we aren't as a nation willing to own up to - do you think a US Police Department would ban officers from wearing their uniforms under jackets etc due to FEAR of their cops being killed by extremists?

“We implement half measures such as ‘No-one is allowed to come into work half blues, even in your own cars because if you get beheaded it'll be your own fault’.

“It would be seen as un-American, un-democratic, not the done thing... In the UK though we accept it”.

About That Workplace Violence

BREAKING: San Bernardino Jihadists Were Constructing Bombs from Christmas Tree Lights - The Gateway Pundit: "A recent issue of Al-Qaeda’s Inspire magazine instructed jihadists in the art of making bombs from Christmas tree lights.

Inspire’s issue number 14, posted this September, included a step-by-step tutorial offering an update on the familiar pipe-bomb concept. The leading image for the article, entitled “Designing a Timed Hand Grenade,” is shown above. The pages that followed, partial excerpt below, included detailed guidance in how to repurpose a small Christmas tree lamp by converting it to an electrically-powered igniter with a brief delay. (The article immediately followed another entitled “Assassination at a Workplace.”)"

Maybe O'Duce wrote that last one.

Vetting

Ted Cruz & Jeff Sessions: Release San Bernardino Shooters' Immigration Records | National Review Online: "Their request comes as CBS reports that one of the shooting suspects passed the Department of Homeland Security’s “counterterrorism screening as part of her vetting” for a visa. Federal officials maintain that they have a rigorous and effective screening process in place for people from countries such as Syria that have significant jihadist movements, making the immigration records of the San Bernardino shooters a potentially significant piece of the debate over refugee policy.

“We are dealing with an enemy that has shown it is not only capable of bypassing U.S. screening, but of recruiting and radicalizing Muslim migrants after their entry to the United States,” Cruz and Sessions wrote to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Secretary of State John Kerry, and Attorney General Loretta Lynch."

All Trumped Up (r/K evolution edition)

Read this AND then this. I know it may be hard but try to hold their contents in your mind together for consideration.  No cherry picking.  Consider it all together.

And hardest of all you need to consider the possibility that Trump isn't rich entirely by accident.

For most of you that will be impossible of course.  But some of you engineering and retrograde philosopher types may be able to pull the analysis off.

Get it now?

Yes, of course he's an actor.  Remember Reagan?  He's Trump though, not Reagan and perhaps ironically Trump is more of an actor to do what he does than Reagan was -- which is probably one of the key reasons why if anything he sets off the r-sels even more than Reagan did.

How dare he use our own cultural weapons against us!  Everyone is just like us r-sels!

No, he's not -- he's a K-sel. And negotiates like one.

r-sel? K-sel?

Eventually the work of E. O. Wilson, Anonymous Conservative, Molineux (start here with video #3), and others will form the intellectual foundation for a human society not doomed to historical r/K evolutionary cycles of extinctive civilizational catastrophe.

But unfortunately this is exceedingly unlikely before the looming end of this historical cycle.  The post-Modern project to destroy the Enlightenment is now in its end game.  I suspect the first real hints of understanding the evolutionary science behind politics have arrived too late.

The rebuilding will be for the few survivors of what I have long termed the "Tinfoil Apocalypse" but which I have more recently found that E.O. Wilson has much more eloquently described thus: "The real problem of humanity is the following: we have paleolithic emotions; medieval institutions; and god-like technology. And it is terrifically dangerous, and it is now approaching a point of crisis overall."

That is if there are any survivors after the chief O r-sel finishes putting god-like technology in the hands of the primitive medievalists.

Because they're just like the rest of us rabbits folks!

Post Modern And Post Sanity

I seem to be having even more difficulty than usual following the latest Post Modern suicidalist talking points.

It now appears that a few dead bobos have apparently very inconsiderately obscured the view of a possible poopstika sighting.

Bobos? Apparently our friend the creased pant admirer David Brooks coined the term "Bourgeoisie Bohemians" -- bobos -- a large number of crescent moons ago to describe France's version of our hipsters and it has taken root in France itself. The blood drenched arrondissements were bobo ground zero.

Slavs (Part 9,947,489)

Ace of Spades HQ: "Completely ignored in most discussions of slavery is the fact that slavery was mankind's standard fare throughout history. Centuries before blacks were enslaved Europeans were enslaved. The word slavery comes from Slavs, referring to the Slavic people, who were early slaves. What distinguishes the West, namely Britain and the U.S., from other nations are the extraordinary measures they took to abolish slavery.

-- Walter E. Williams"
