My latest in PJ Media:
The jihadi who stormed the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, and took hostages Saturday, demanding the release of convicted jihad terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, is dead, and the hostages are safe. And now comes the real work: whitewashing, downplaying, and ignoring outright what took place, because it doesn’t fit the establishment narrative.
FBI Special Agent in Charge Matt DeSarno got the ball rolling when he said, “We do believe from our engagement with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue, uh, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community, uh, but we’re continuing to work to find motive and, and we will continue on that path.”
DeSarno’s bizarre statement is based on the fact that the demands the hostage-taker made all revolved around Aafia Siddiqui, aka “Lady al-Qaeda,” who is serving 86 years in prison for plotting a large-scale jihad massacre in New York City. The hostage-taker reportedly demanded that his “sister” be freed, which led to widespread speculation that he was in fact Aafia Siddiqui’s brother. At this point, however, although they have not released his name, officials have announced that he is no relation to Siddiqui, and thus was referring to her as his sister in Islam.

According to Tom Winter of NBC News, the hostage-taker even had the rabbi of Congregation Beth Israel, Charlie Cytron-Walker, whom he was holding hostage, call another rabbi in New York City. “The purpose of the call was to again demand the release of Aafia Siddiqui. The New York City based rabbi called 9-1-1 and the NYPD is well aware of the incident,” tweeted Winter.
So let’s get this straight. A man enters a synagogue and takes hostages, and warns that if anyone gets too close, people will die. He demands the release of an al-Qaeda terrorist. The FBI then asserts that his actions were “not specifically related to the Jewish community,” apparently because he was talking only about Aafia Siddiqui, and at least not reportedly railing against Jews and Israel.
So why exactly did he do all this in a synagogue? He had the whole wide green world in which to take hostages; why did he choose Congregation Beth Israel of Colleyville, Texas? Once he had taken his hostages, why did he have one rabbi call another rabbi in order to demand Aafia Siddiqui’s release? What does Congregation Beth Israel have to do with Aafia Siddiqui? What does its rabbi, or the rabbi whom the hostage-taker had him contact in New York City, have to do with Aafia Siddiqui?
There is more. Read the rest here.

People have to understand where FBI socialist duplicity has come from. For the entire history of the FBI, hiring was A-political and based solely on education, performance and history. UNTIL… OBAMAtheSLUG… under Obummer, all justice dept. hiring was based on political affiliation. If the candidate met the DemocRAT test, other hiring criteria were looked at. Said another way, if you were not a woke, socialist PIECE OF SHIT, you would NOT be hired, regardless of performance and ability.
Those hires from the 8 long Obummer years are now coming home to roost. They inhabit many middle and upper management slots. This is where such TREASONOUS and SEDICIOUS statements and behaviors come from as described above. .. Because the FBI is now the Enforcement arm of the DemonRAT party…
Incredibly bad, BAD days for America… All due to liberal filth.
Believe every word of the above… it’s the absolute truth

People have to understand where FBI ‘wokedom’ has came from. For the entire history of the FBI, hiring was A-political and based solely on education, performance and history. Both the Republicans and the Democrats subscribed to this unwritten rule. That was UNTIL… OBAMAtheSLUG… Under Obummer, all justice dept. hiring was based on political affiliation. If the candidate met the DemocRAT test, other hiring criteria were looked at. Said another way, if you were not a woke, socialist PIECE OF SHIT, you would NOT be hired, regardless of performance and ability.

This is where such TREASONOUS and SEDICIOUS plans come from as described above. Because the FBI is now the Enforcement arm of the DemonRAT party… It did not stop with DOJ… The CIA faced the same sort of assault. Doubt it?? The CIA ‘Whistleblower’ was hired by Obummer and his claim to socialist fame? He protested on behalf of a Muslim professor who was not granted tenure for, among other reasons, his support of violent jihad. And there are many more in the CIA just like him.
Incredibly bad, BAD days for America… All due to liberal filth.

“Kenneth Marcus, the founder and chairman of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law and former assistant U.S. secretary of eduction (sic) for civil rights, disagreed, telling Fox News Digital that “the FBI got it wrong.”
He said that the attack was “obviously a matter of antisemitism.”
“Failure of the FBI to understand this is something of a pattern with law enforcement in the United States and frankly in Europe. It seems that time after time, we see law enforcement officials fail to understand when an antisemitic incident occurs, even when it’s entirely obvious, and sometimes the results of that are tragic. This time, fortunately, they have not been,” Marcus said.”

Kagman,
I am imagining that there is a possibility that you were/are connected to the FBI somehow.
Just a hunch. : )
