Op-ed:

In Fear of Retribution

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

Censorship: “the suppression or prohibition of any parts of books, films, news, etc. that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security.”

With that being the actual dictionary definition of censorship there is a two part question that must be answered...as in who exactly appointed whom as the arbiter of what is to be and not be censored and why exactly is that whatever being censored? And censorship, while it seems to never go away to one degree or another in regards to “political-speak,” reached a new crescendo about twelve days ago when a lone gunman decided to play vigilante in one of the countries “down under.”

A crescendo for sure for by now we all know that one Brenton Tarrant slaughtered 50 worshipers at two Christchurch, New Zealand mosques. Also, we know that Tarrant helmet-cammed himself in real time and live-streamed it on social media giant Facebook. Viewed as it was happening fewer than 200 times, no one reported it to Facebook's moderators...as in Facebook's handpicked and ever so liberal indoctrinated censors...until 12 minutes after said video ended, by which time it had been viewed about 4,000 times in total before being removed. But no matter Facebook's “frantic efforts” to take the video down, footage of the massacre continued circulating even hours after the shooting.

And in the 29 minutes (17 for the video plus the 12) before Facebook was alerted to the video, a Facebook user on 8chan...a user whose accounts have since been permanently removed from Facebook...posted a link to a copy of the video on a file-sharing site forcing Facebook to have to remove 1.5 million videos of said attack globally within the first 24 hours after it was originally live streamed. Saying that 1.2 million videos "were blocked at upload"...meaning they never made it to posting...translates into 300,000 of said video actually having made it to posting and thus having to be removed. 

And with the video's removal Facebook “hash tagged” the video so that other shares that were "visually similar" to that particular video were then detected and automatically removed as well. But with the video's across the board removal on the grounds that it violated Facebook's Community Standards against violence, down also came Facebook users emoji reactions and comments thus silencing its users voices, both opposing and condoning voices, in one fell swoop in regards to the video and the actual incident itself.

Then after issuing a formal statement saying that “this incident highlights the importance of industry cooperation regarding the range of terrorists and violent extremists operating online,” Facebook took it upon themselves to “identify abusive content on other social media sites in order to assess whether or how that content might migrate to one of our platforms,” thus basically forcing Twitter, Reddit, Google-owned YouTube, and others to also start deleting said video from their sites. In fact not only did YouTube remove the video...a video which went up in “unprecedented numbers and speed”...but they also "terminated hundreds of accounts created to promote or glorify the shooter," as per a statement issued by a YouTube spokesperson.

And so a company with two billion users...a company that is trying to monopolize news reporting...please do not for a minute think that Facebook is solely about what one had for dinner, cute kitty and puppies photos, who's hitting on who, or people asking for prayers for this, that, or the other thing...that company is indeed trying to be the arbiter of not only what is the news but what specific news its users will be allowed to see. Remember, last year Facebook announced that they will be deleting what they alone deem to be “fake news” based upon input from the liberal likes of Snopes (George Soros' partly owned company), CNN (Clinton News Network), and other assorted uber left sites.

Simply, Facebook and the other a fore mentioned sites appointed themselves as the judge, jury, and remover of what should have been a free flow of information by it's users...meaning the ability to post or view the video of the mosque shooting. Remember that the ability to present and freely exchange information...whether or not a given individual or company agrees with said information...is the very foundation upon which freedom itself is built, and without that freedom we are but slaves held captive by those who control what we are allowed to see, listen to, read, or even think. 'Big Brother' to the nth degree.

A free flow of information...to be unrestricted in its ability to present all points of view on any given topic or event...deems it imperative for censorship to be held to a bare minimum, meaning censorship should only be applied to that which would directly incite violence. And by this I do not mean censor reporting on violence that has already happened...as in past tense...but violence that might immediately ensue because of a story published, a news report given, or a video posted...and surely not because of a single mosque shooting.

Now here again we must focus directly on Facebook and not because Brenton Tarrant video-cammed his actions onto the social media site per se, but because they led the charge in having the video being removed from all internet venues after being "nudged to do so" by the powers that be.

So then why did I say surely not because of a single mosque shooting...because in the case of Facebook...whose Community Standards are seriously skewed in favor of muslims and islam...videos and photos of Christians being beheaded by ISIS; Nigerian Christians locked in churches that were then set on fire; the Jordanian pilot captured by ISIS being burned alive while locked in a cage, the massacre at the Jewish synagogue in Pittsburgh; the Foot Hood Massacre; overt desecration of Christian symbols and monuments; the vandalizing of Jewish cemeteries, and ground zero of it all...911...all these were and still are being left up. 
 
And know that list is but a small sample of what was and is still not deemed in violation of Facebook's Community Standards. Also not including is Facebook's taking down of Christian pages and pro-Israel groups while leaving up anything muslim and islam related including sites that were in reality ISIS recruiting sites. And by the way, after the massacre at the synagogue in Philadelphia, I put up a simple picture of a memorial candle with a Bible verse to honor those killed, and Facebook took it down as being insensitive to others (as in the shooter), and threw me yet again into Facebook jail for another 30 days.

So what Facebook and the others have done by taking the mosque massacre video down is actually hamper our efforts in learning how to protect ourselves, our loved ones and most especially our houses of worship against any future attacks. And those attacks will surely come... and probably will come fairly soon...in the guise of revenge attacks by islamists against both churches and synagogues for the concept of “an eye for an eye” is not solely found in the Holy Bible but in the (un)holy qur'an as well. 
 
In fact, the qur'an itself dictates revenge on those that do islam harm. For example, qur'an 5:45 states, “And We ordained therein for them: Life for life, eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth and wounds equal for equal...” and as per qur'an 16:126, “And if you punish, then punish them with the like of that with which you were afflicted.”
 
And herein lies the truth that few if any in positions of power will say...the main and maybe the only reason why the mosque massacre video has been removed from the internet, newspapers, and TV...basically from the entire public venue...is because these folks are afraid, actually terrified, of islamist retribution for their 50 dead.
 
Sadly, the world has ever so unwisely chosen to show a complacency for islam and even for islamists. In fact, many of their attacks on the West in general as well as on Christians, Jews, and shi'ia muslims in specific (most islamists are sunni) have gone basically unpunished out of fear of retribution, of even more blood being spilled. 

We allow ourselves in the name of diversity to cower and hide from the truth...a simple truth that islam itself is the enemy. And we must acknowledge that in full...for only by saying “islam is the enemy” can we, our loved ones, and our churches and synagogues be while maybe not completely safe per se, but be equipped with enough knowledge as to how to prepare ourselves to successfully fight back in defense of our way of life. 
 

And even though the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS)...their spying agency...confirmed that it had not received any relevant information or intelligence ahead of the mosque shootings, it does not change the fact that 50 muslims lay dead at the hand of a single misguided white extremist who thinks himself to be a crusader...please refer to my article Misplaced Tears, Misplaced Sorrow...but know that the retribution for those 50 will most likely be 50 times 10...or more. Remember, islamists go for the big kill, 50 will not be enough to satisfy their blood lust.

But unless things change the media...social media most especially included...will both indirectly and directly aid them in their task via both their fear of reporting the truth...in this case the truth that the Masjid Al Noor mosque had, back in 2014, been linked to the U.S. drone killing of New Zealand al-Qaeda suspects Daryl Jones and Christopher Havard who were both radicalized at said mosque...coupled with the media's fear of reprisals against their personal selves and/or their loved ones.

So while New Zealand's truly misguided Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern donned a hajib and ordered a national broadcast of the islamic call to prayer, she also enacted laws banning certain types of assault weapons within her country, as if that will solve their problems or issues revolving around the lone mosque shooter or even aid in preventing a copy-cat killing. Simply, it will not and why... because the fact is that New Zealand, just like the rest of the civilized world, will continue having a “muslim problem” whether they believe they have one or not...that is as long as they allow seemingly unfettered muslim immigration into their country while throwing aside the mother of all problems in the name of diversity. The call for diversity must be replacing with assimilation...as in assimilate or back you go to the country you came from...and by the way, we should do the same thing here.

So as some in the media do not want us to speak Brenton Tarrant's name for fear of giving him notoriety for the killing of 50 muslims, and while others continue to blame President Trump for the shooting, I say why should Tarrant's name be relegated to obscurity for killing 50 muslims when the likes of Ghengis Khan, Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-tung, Pol Pot, and so may others killed hundreds of millions of people with their names forever enmeshed within the pages of history. The answer is simply to placate the muslims yet again...and that will be the death of us all.

Op-ed: 
Misplaced Tears, Misplaced Sorrow 
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

“Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.”
Jesus' words in the Gospel of Matthew, 26:52

Last Thursday, terrorism visited Christchurch, New Zealand...last Friday morning in a show of support for their “muslim friends” the NYPD stationed armed counterterrorism officers outside NYC mosques to keep them safe no matter that there was no credible threats whatsoever to any mosque either in NYC proper or the surrounding areas. And UN Secretary General António Guterres called on “all people on this holy day for Muslims to show signs of solidarity with the bereaved Islamic community."

Solidarity...no way...sympathy for innocent lives stolen, of course, for vigilante justice must never be the recourse of civilized men. However, notice Guterres' statement...“solidarity with the bereaved Islamic community”…“the bereaved Islamic community”…“Islamic community.” What the Secretary General asked for was for us to show solidarity with jihadis...with terrorists...to show solidarity with those out to kill us all...for that what's an “islamist” is...that's what an "islamist" does or at least tries to do. “Islamists” are not what we refer to as muslims per se...but maybe in a way they are for there are too many muslims whose silence in not condemning the “islamists” speaks volumes after all.

So by now we are all pretty much familiar with the horrific happenings at Christchurch where at the Masjid Al Noor mosque and at the Dar Al Hijrah mosque 50 (as per the latest count) total people lay dead at the hands of a lone shooter, one 28-year old Brenton Tarrant from Grafton, Australia. And while I could add my personal take on the actual carnage itself, there is no need to rehash the unspeakable as photos from the scene, now all over the internet, say it all.* What happened is real, and the whys are all that's left to answer for what seems on the surface to be a man out for the sport of garnering muslim blood goes much deeper than that...much deeper than few might pick-up at first glance.

Simply, Brenton Tarrant saw God on his side as much as the muslims see allah on their side for Brenton Tarrant thought himself to be but a modern-day crusader...a crusader out to make right the failures of the crusades and the crusaders past. As per his 73-page manifesto's own words, I do what I do, “To take revenge on the invaders for the hundreds of thousands of deaths caused by foreign invaders in European lands throughout history. To take revenge for the enslavement of millions of Europeans taken from their lands by the Islamic slavers.To take revenge for the thousands of European lives lost to terror attacks throughout European lands.”

Wanting to be the flag-bearing white knight riding in on a great white stallion to finish the job of ridding the western world of the muslim invaders who had marched through Europe and elsewhere in ages past and who are still doing so via mass immigration in the present...Tarrant is not a bigot in what we consider the classical sense. Tarrant is not a neo-Nazi skinhead per se nor is he a racist against blacks...Candace Owens is one of his “heroes” or so he writes...nor is he a supporter of President Trump's political policies as some claim. And Brenton Tarrant was in no way out on a personal vendetta for some self-perceived slight inflicted upon his person by any particular muslim or member of the Masjid Al Noor mosque...which was a church before being converted...the mosque upon which he took out his anger.

In Tarrant's delusional mind what he did was lay the ground floor for what he hoped would be we infidels banding together en-masse in a 21st century crusade...first to raise up our voices in unison to shout loud and clear “no more”..."no more" placating those out to destroy us ..."no more" third world immigration or as he calls it “invasion”..."no more" condoning the actions of those so unlike us..."no more" mosques..."no more" hate...do as you wish in your home countries but not now or ever in ours...and then if need be turning our own streets red with the blood of those doing us harm.

In Tarrant's own words, “I wish the different peoples of their world all the best regardless of their ethnicity, race, culture or faith and that they live in peace and prosperity, amongst their own people, practicing their own traditions, in their own nations.” Thus his message could not be any clearer or more direct...in fact many of us here at home feel exactly the same way. However, we do not take it upon ourselves to be the purveyor of twisted revenge... as in to be the judge, jury, and executioner of those wishing to do us or our country harm... for we as civilized folks go through the legal process no matter how many of us they try to or do kill.

And while Brenton Tarrant's manifesto The Great Replacement as a whole ain't pretty, it does contain within it a few truth's that those in our country are much too afraid to say let alone acknowledge.

And since 911, there have been (as I write this) 34,717 (and counting) islamist terrorist attacks against innocents worldwide...against Christians, Jews, and muslims (remember the Sunni v. Shia violent split within islam) all carried out in the name of allah...with 9,024+ actual deaths taking place worldwide all at the hands of muslim islamic extremists...jihadis. So, am I going to cry over 50 muslims dead at the hands of one western extremist...no... while at the same time in no way will I rejoice at the killing of innocents. However, being the imperfect being that I am, and with the numbers cited speaking for themselves, again I say I will shed no tears.

But as to Brenton Tarrant himself...I refuse not to say his name for to do so, contrary to what the media says, does do great disservice to those whom he who murdered and those left behind...so the bottom line is this...while Tarrant claims to value western morals and virtues alone...and while he claims that whites will become a vanished race if we don't take care of the “muslim problem" now...his way of solving said problem goes against everything we in the civilized west hold dear and close to our hearts.

Simply, vigilante justice, no matter even if one thinks themselves to be a crusader on a noble mission...which Tarrant surely believed he was as per the words painted on his guns and other equipment...words that were but names of past crusaders and battles won and lost against muslim invaders**...cold-blooded murder of innocents is not the way we in the civilized world solve such problems. And yes...we know well that muslims are indeed a problem wherever they go, but that does not mean that killing muslims is the only way out or is it the only solution.

Killing for the sake of killing is not now nor will it ever be a truly workable or viable solution for the solution to the “muslim problem” lies within the muslims...within islam...itself.

In December 2017, I wrote an article titled The Reality of Reformation vs. Jihad. In that article I told of how there is a misplaced belief that islam is a religion of peace...simply...it's not for islam is not a religion as we in the West define religion*** but instead is an all-encompassing political ideology masquerading as a religion. And if you step back and look at the big picture you will see I am right, as well as my being right that the biggest enabler of islam is the media itself with our political leaders from both sides of the aisle thrown in for good measure.

How so...50 muslims were slaughtered and both the msm and social media...and our political leaders as well...keep crying crocodile tears over those lost. True that they were innocents...as least as far as we know...but where were the msm's and social media's tears when Christians were beheaded and churches were burnt to the ground with the faithful locked inside them...where were their tears when Jews in Pittsburgh were slaughtered while in prayer just for being Jews...where were their tears when Yazidi women were kidnapped and forcibly raped until dead...did the media or our political leaders plead for solidarity in grief for them...no...they did not. And except for a few minutes of ever so precious liberal left news time the ratio of importance of their deaths compared to the death of the 50 New Zealand muslims cannot be even remotely compared.

Former Vice President Joe Biden (who probably soon will announce his 2020 presidential run), in fact tweeted immediately upon hearing about the New Zealand “terror attack” his condemnation of both xenophobia and islamophobia and called for people to speak out. Saying, "Silence is complicity. Our children are listening. The time to speak out is now," yet not a word did he tweet or say about the a fore mentioned 9,024+ murders since 911 all committed by muslim jihadis...all committed in allah's name.

So, how do we truly solve our problems with muslims for if truth be told, as of right now, we in the West are losing the battle against the enemy known as islam, if only for the fact that we remain blindly fighting a Holy War we still refuse to acknowledge even exists. How do we fight those with a seventh century mindset yet who are armed with 21st weapons...how do we survive intact against an ideology based solely upon hate, death, and destruction? The only logical way to do so is by recruiting, if you will, the more moderate amongst islam, those who understand that for islam to peacefully coexist with the more secular West requires that islam undergo a true reformation or else the killing on both sides will simply never end.

But even with said truth a caveat exists because for true reformation to occur...for all the killing to stop on both sides that is...the actual core doctrine of islam must not just be toned down but must do a 180º turn and shed all of its political ideologies...ideologies that encompass ever festering hate so that the truly devout can then retreat into their own personal piety and leave the rest of us alone. Only then can the seemingly ongoing chaos that engulfs islam and its followers today actually be successfully tempered down... tempered down enough so that eventually it burns itself out thus allowing we infidels to lay down our proverbial swords as well.

And if the killing stops on islam's end with islam finally accepting those unlike themselves as being an accepted cultural norm, then and only then will the killing...will the slaughtering of innocents...truly come to an end. And then those like Brenton Tarrant will simply have no one left to hate or fight against...except maybe amongst those like themselves.

So now as islam prepares to lay to rest its 50 dead, and as Brenton Tarrant faces the repercussions of his vile vigilante actions courtesy of both New Zealand's legal system and the world court of public opinion, it's time for the media and our political leaders to stop with the crocodile tears, for the simple truth is that terrorist attacks against muslims in the West are most assuredly extremely rare while jihadi attacks against we in the West are becoming more commonplace by the day.

It's all about priorities and numbers...always has been and always be...thus proving once again that violence does nothing but beget more violence...and that is truly the saddest truth of all.

Written amongst those writings are the names Charles Martel, who is credited with halting the muslim invasion at Poitiers in 732; George Castriot, known as Skanderbeg, an Albanian nobleman and military commander who led a successful rebellion against the Ottoman Empire in what is today Albania and North Macedonia; and Marco Antonio Bragadin, who led the Venetian resistance to the Ottoman conquest that began in 1570; and others.
