More Left-wing Mendacity

Survivor of Tamil "liberation"


Part of 111 stacked coffins, 1987 handiwork of Tamil "victims"

Terrorists as victims: Palestinians, who strap bombs to their children in order to kill Jews, Tamils who forcibly recruited children to wear cyanide vials on their murderous missions. And their targets, the Israelis and Sri Lankans? Why, oppressors and war criminals, of course, according to left-wing terrorist sympathizers and their media echo chambers.

Airport bombings by Tamil "victims"

Yes, Sri Lanka's government was ruthless in putting an end, finally, to decades of slaughter by arguably the most savage of the so-called liberation movements, who made the PLO look like humanitarians, who assassinated thousands indiscriminately, from poor civilians to the Prime Minister of India. And yet, here we see hand-wringing over their eradication by those who seem to have awakened from a coma only yesterday, or whose sympathy for the underdog trumps the fact that said "underdog" is a mass murderer.

In their final assault against the Tamil terrorists, the Sri Lankan government saved countless future lives and ended fear and chaos inflicted on everyday life in Sri Lanka and Southern India. Their success is a reminder to the world that war, to be fought successfully, must be fought without compromise or remorse, a reality which craven Western nations, mired in moral sloth cloaked in the mindless platitudes of political correctness, have long forgotten.

They admit it, but they still don't get it.

After being virtually laughed out of the room, Janet Napolitano and fellow accountability escape artists have now retreated from their claims, that their airport security systems are just peachy, and admitted, as far as self-serving bureaucrats are capable, what this blog has been shouting. Clothed in their, "Well, maybe things aren't as good as they could be" admission is the plain fact that the performance of TSA and foreign security personnel in the Northwest 253 incident was abysmal.

The problem isn't "the system," Folks, it's the people!

Yet, still they don't get it. They talk about improving their detection machines and refining the no-fly lists. Bullshit! These have nothing to do with their failure to stop an individual who should have been stopped, regardless of the machines, regardless of the lists. They were passively sitting on their butts, waiting for machines and lists to spot terrorists, instead of watching, instead of thinking, instead of PROFILING.

They do not need machines and lists to tell them to pat down, even strip-search a young African male with a ticket paid for with cash and no checked baggage.

What is wrong with these idiots?

Now, it's CYA time.

Our lives are in their hands.

After miserably bungling their mission to protect the flying public, the so-called security services are circling the wagons, issuing their "It's not our fault" proclamations.

The Dutch and America's Homeland Security Bozo-in-Chief Janet Napolitano say it's not their fault that their machines didn't pick up the explosives strapped to the would-be terrorist intent on blowing up Northwest 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day. It's not their fault that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab wasn't on their no-fly list.

Of course, their self-serving alibis evade the glaring reality that here was an individual who, no-fly list or not, undetectable explosives or not, screamed out for heightened scrutiny, for secondary examination, for at least a pat-down, by profile alone.

• Young, single African
• Traveling on a one-way ticket
• With no checked baggage
• From a region of Muslim militants
• From a country of rampant corruption

Proper work would have quickly revealed Abdulmutallab's presence in a terrorist suspect database (TIDE).

The facts that Abdulmutallab was not on a no-fly list and that he passed through metal detectors are irrelevant. This man should have been stopped!

But he was not stopped, and it is only luck and the quick reactions of passengers that averted disaster.

And now, for the gross incompetence of Janet Napolitano's crew, Dutch security at Schiphol, Nigerian security at Lagos and the gross incompetence of the State Department for ignoring the desperate warnings of the terrorist's father, we get alibis and excuses and, to add insult to injury, airline passengers will be subjected to additional, more onerous measures which, though utterly useless in their effect, are aimed at making the incompetents look like they are doing something.

Islamic radicals would be comical were they not homicidal. The spectacle of Napolitano and her colleagues covering their collective asses would also be comical were it not for the fact that, alas, our lives are in their hands.

The stupidity and fascism of the TSA

"Your safety is our priority."

The object of terrorists is to make murder and mayhem so ubiquitous and random that the state responds by imposing oppressive measures, i.e. becoming fascist, thus promoting instability and discontent and fomenting revolt. By their incompetence, the Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is helping terrorists achieve their goal.

How does the TSA address the monumental stupidity which allowed an avowed Muslim fanatic, who had traveled to al Qaeda hotbed Yemen, who was on intelligence suspect lists, to obtain a U.S. visa, then take off from Nigeria, a country with known Muslim terrorist activity, on a one-way ticket, with no checked luggage, to pass through multiple layers of security, without once being subject to heightened scrutiny, while carrying a bomb? By tightening their lax procedures at airports? By replacing bureaucrats who are more engaged in taking meetings and being important than manning the front lines and actually supervising? No, by imposing still more oppressive rules on passengers to make up for their own incompetence.

Now, our brave security forces have dictated that passengers on a 90-minute or less flight cannot budge from their seats. Even on longer flights, passengers must stay in their seats an hour before landing. This means that passengers asleep for the flight, upon waking cannot go to the bathroom. What about older passengers? Must they now strap on incontinence bags, which will then be subject to inspection at security checkpoints?

Here is the absurd idiocy of the TSA: the would-be suicide bomber on Northwest 253 did not have to move from his seat to ignite his bomb, yet the passengers who possibly saved the aircraft from being blown out of the sky would have violated the rule by leaving their seats to overpower the perpetrator. What would the TSA have done, arrest the passengers?

In a fascist state, when the authorities screw up, it's the people who feel their boot.
