Another Leftist Lie

Is there anything that the Avatar in the White House will not lie about?  The AP reports that Biden plans to name the Pulse nightclub as a national memorial standing for all targeted gay victims of gun violence.  This is just another example of the left using full-throated fringe conspiracy thinking to divide the country.  Tell a lie big enough and often enough and eventually people will believe the lie.

What are the facts?  In the wee hours of the morning on June 12, 2016 (yes, it has been five years), Omar Mateen, who had previously been on the FBI’s radar, entered the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, armed to the teeth, killed 49 people and wounded 53 others.  He was killed in a shootout with police.

Now the FBI’s role in all this could fill an investigative journalist’s notebook.  Because of reports about Mateen, the FBI had done an investigation of him before that horrific night.  Co-workers had warned that Mateen had claimed connections to the terrorist groups Al Qaeda and Hezbollah, and that he wanted to die as a martyr.  The investigation was later closed.

The investigation took place in an atmosphere where all investigations of Muslims for terrorist ties were being propagandized as “racial profiling” by organizations such as CAIR, Council for American-Islamic Relations.  How this played into the closing of the investigation during an administration that was actively playing down jihadist threats we may never know.

Why did Mateen choose the Pulse nightclub?  While the media has played up the gay victims’ aspect of this unbelievably horrific event, the fact is clear that he was committing religious jihad.  His radicalization was uncovered after the fact by the FBI.  His “Ala Ackbar” statement during the shooting also bolstered this insight.

Mateen was making Americans pay for American air attacks in Syria and Iraq.  Mateen picked Pulse not because it was a gay nightclub but because it was a crowded one.  Mateen wanted a shooting gallery of many soft targets.  The sexual backgrounds of the victims were immaterial to Mateen.  He had decided against Disney because of the tight security there.  He was out to “punish” Americans for the actions of their government.

None of this matters to Joe Biden, the Democrats or most of the media.  They have a narrative to sell.  The woke supremacists want to convince America that it is hopelessly racist, homophobic, transphobic, etc.  Creating an anti-LGBT animus around this event is just another step in the left’s continuing attack on America, the most diverse and inclusive country ever to exist in the history of the planet.

In his announcement, Biden said the nation must acknowledge that gun violence has hurt members of the LGBTQ community

“We must drive out hate and inequities that contribute to the epidemic of violence and murder against transgender women — especially transgender women of color.”

Epidemic of violence?  We do have a startling increase in violence particularly in all the Democratic-controlled cities in this country.  Defunding the police measures and a general lack of support for police in such locales have led to increases in homicides never before seen in this country.  This is reflected in crime data for people of all sexual backgrounds.  The increase among transsexuals is no greater than the increase among any other sector of the population.  In fact, the percentage increase among transsexuals may turn out to be less than the population at large.

This is another reason for the Avatar’s announcement.  He needs to deflect the public’s attention from the horrible crime stats in Democratic cities.  Thus the need to lie to the American public about the Pulse shootings.

Glenn Greenwald, a journalist with leftist tendencies, clearly has some journalistic integrity left.  He called out the fake narrative being run by the Democrats and their media allies.

Democratic Senators and activist groups promoting a false, conclusively disproven narrative about the Pulse shootings for their own benefits. Anti-LGBT animus was not part of that massacre. It dishonors the memory of the victims – & the LGBT cause – to lie about what happened. https://t.co/bhjpeaVSS5

This tweet is an absolute lie. Every journalist who covered the PULSE shootings and trial will tell you this. It's infuriating to watch Senators blatantly lie this way. https://t.co/tYxqNEU8pZ

Omar Mateen had no idea PULSE was a gay club. He spent the prior day looking at Disney locations, but they were too secured. He entered "Club, Orlando" in Google – not "gay club" – to find it. He never uttered an anti-LGBT syllable, saying his motive was US bombing in Iraq/Syria.

Even NBC News has acknowledged that the PULSE massacre was not motivated by anti-LGBT sentiment. Their article is definitive as it should be. The evidence leaves no doubt. There's no excuse for Senators and LGBT groups perpetuating this lie:https://t.co/V36i1ZHfS8

This was an Islamic jihad massacre.  I suppose some in the JoeBama administration would call this statement Islamophobic.  However, it is the truth.  It was the second worse Islamic attack on American soil, second only to 9-11.  This is the way it should be remembered.
