BEYOND EVIL: 20,000 Member Leftist Facebook Group Supports Assassin of 5-Year-Old Cannon Hinnant . . .

Last Updated on August 17, 2020
A Facebook group with 20,000 members who support the alleged killer of 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant is going viral both due to its size and the controversial opinions held by group members.
Darius Sessoms, 25, is alleged to have murdered Cannon Hinnant, 5, after shooting him in the head at point blank range when Hinnant rode his bike on Sessoms’ front yard. The incident became an international story as alternative media led the charge, while some mainstream media outlets completely sidestepped a brutal alleged murder that fails to fit their narrative.
The “Justice for Darius Sessoms” Facebook Group still prevails after accumulating a quick five-figure membership number.
The group’s opening statement read: “Darius Sessoms has been accused of a heinous act that he didn’t commit. This is all propaganda from the far-right Trump propaganda machine to make black people look bad.
“We cannot sit idly by while our president plays fast and loose with the laws. That’s why we need to back Darius against these outrageous allegations.”

One internet sleuth managed to infiltrate the group–that was reportedly started as a troll, but attracted various Black Lives Matter supporters–and nab screenshots of member’s posts.
“Has a Go Fund Me been set up for Darius? He’s a political prisoner and I would like to donate. We can’t sit idly by and let the system persecute him unjustly,” one person remarked.
“I just sent 300 dollars to Darius’ commissary. Stay strong brother,” wrote another.
Another person commented on the crowdfunding total the Hinnant family was set to receive. They wrote: “Not surprised the parents are cashing in… we’re going to find out later that he was provoked or somehow set up. Good luck getting that refund.”
Others commented on how Hinnant’s murderer was arrested and justice would be obtained. Meanwhile, George Floyd’s death was not believed to receive the same level of justice–bringing the conversation back to the topic of systemic racism.
“I’d feel worse about his death if he didn’t have such a stupid name. A “cannon” that gets shot? Seems like his dad was asking for it since day one,” responded one Facebook user.

The group has a simple membership process in order to join.
In addition to the “Justice for Darius Sessoms” group, a fake Wilson Police Department press release circulated social media to spread disinformation and to steer the narrative away from Hinnant’s murder.
The falsified Wilson PD Facebook post was fraught with typos, spelling mistakes, and grammatical errors leading many to immediately question its authenticity.
However, the fake release managed to convince dozens of a change in narrative surrounding the horrific crime.


thelibertydaily--2020-08-18--. . . Cannon Hinnant’s Mother Wants ‘The Death Penalty’ for 5-Year-Old Son’s Assassin

Local media saw fit to include personal information about the news personality

Last Updated on February 17, 2022
Cannon Hinnant’s mother made her wishes clear in an effort to secure justice for her murdered five-year-old son who police say was shot dead by his father’s neighbor, Darius Sessoms, after the child rode his bike on Sessoms’s lawn.
Darius Sessoms, 25, is alleged to have shot Cannon Hinnant, 5, in the head at point blank range for riding his bike in his front yard when he was playing outside with his older sisters, 7 and 8.
After law enforcement located and arrested Sessoms the following day at a Goldsboro home, he was charged with first degree murder. As the crime took place in North Carolina, Sessoms, if convicted, could face the death penalty given the severity of his alleged crime.
Speaking with WSOCTV, Bonny Waddell, Cannon Hinnant’s mother, revealed her intentions on her quest to achieve justice for her son’s coldblooded murder.
“My baby didn’t deserve this,” Waddell said. “He had the biggest smile, the biggest eyes.”
“We lost a big piece of our family,” she added. “We all. He changed all of our lives. He touched everybody that he knew.”
Waddell then addressed how both of Cannon’s older sisters and young aunt were forced to watch him die in an mercilessly cruel act.
Cannon’s murder became international news as the alternative media drove its coverage on the internet. Days later, the mainstream media pallidly and reluctantly covered the story in an effort to save face.
Social media has blown up with the “Say his Name” hashtag trending. But some have not been compelled by the movement, arguing that Cannon Hinnant will receive justice as his killer remains behind bars without bond, but Breonna Taylor will not be afforded the same privileges.
Despite Cannon’s alleged killer remaining behind bars, the family wishes to pursue the maximum punishment.
“I want the death penalty and I’m gonna seek it,” Waddell said.
Some have celebrated Cannon’s murder, with one person calling the crime “revenge” and another laughing at his “white privileged” brains being blown out.
A 20,000-strong Facebook group “Justice for Darius Sessoms” was formed, with members calling Sessoms a “political prisoner.” Since the murder, a doctored Wilson Police Department press release, fraught with grammatical and spelling mistakes, went viral in an effort to steer the narrative away from the coldblooded murder.


thelibertydaily--2020-08-18--Independent Journalist Millie Weaver to be Released Following Bogus Arrest and Indictment

Last Updated on August 17, 2020
Millie Weaver, the conservative journalist, is set to be released on Monday, following her arrest on Friday for alleged robbery and evidence tampering.
Weaver was arrested on Friday by police officers at her home, who did not tell her why she was being arrested, but did let her know that she had been indicted by a grand jury. A video posted online shows her confusion at the situation.
“You’re saying a grand jury indicted me? For what?” Weaver asks the police officers, who tell her that they will give her “all the paperwork in jail.” She described the situation as “crazy,” noting that she never received any notifications regarding the indictment in the mail. “I don’t understand what’s happening right now,” she added.
Why was Millie Weaver just arrested?? pic.twitter.com/DNsKKyCCGO — Mark Dice (@MarkDice) August 14, 2020
Documents released online on Monday show that Weaver was indicted on one felony count of robbery in the second degree, one count of felony evidence tampering in the third degree, one felony count of obstructing justice in the fifth degree, and one misdemeanour count of domestic violence in the first degree.
National File understands that the robbery and domestic violence charges relate to an incident in April with her mother and a cell phone, although her mother allegedly did not wish to pursue charges. There is currently no information regarding the charges of obstruction of justice and evidence tampering.
The indictment in the #millieweaver arrest. Link: https://t.co/25Rpm9ON37 Seems to be unrelated to leaked documents, and result from an April incident with her mother and a cell phone. It took 4 weeks to execute the warrant. #vlawgcomingsoon — Viva Frei (@thevivafrei) August 17, 2020
Ezra Levant of Rebel Media launched a crowdfunding campaign for legal counsel for Weaver, which at the time of writing has raised over $119,000 ($157,512 Canadian). Levant on Monday revealed in a tweet that she is to be released sometime on Monday. “Millie Weaver will be free & united with her kids by dinner,” Levant said.
Just got this text from the courthouse — Millie Weaver will be free & united with her kids by dinner! Thank you to everyone who crowdfunded her lawyers. When I speak with her I’ll arrange the transfer of funds. She still needs help — this was round one. https://t.co/AphRP7Pphj pic.twitter.com/oavI3jaZJx — Ezra Levant 🍁🚛 (@ezralevant) August 17, 2020

The arrest and indictment comes just as Weaver was about to release a new documentary entitled “Shadowgate,” which was swiftly removed from YouTube and Facebook only two days after it went live. The documentary argues that Deep State actors were involved in the targeting of President Trump during the Russiagate “scandal,” among other claims.

FACT CHECK: Video Evidence Shows Proud Boys Acted in Self-Defense at Kalamazoo Rally
After this weekend’s Proud Boys rally in Kalamazoo, Mich., the fake news media went into overdrive to demonize the pro-Trump organizers as being responsible for the mayhem caused largely by ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter thuggery.
9&10 News maligned the Proud Boys as a “neo-fascist group” while BET called the Proud Boys a “pro-Trump hate group.” WSBT 22 called the Proud Boys an “alt-right hate group known for violence.” Other outlets, like the Metro Times, WZZM 13, and The Morning Call, called the Proud Boys a “far-right” or “right-wing” organization. The implication in these articles is clear, and they are building the narrative that the Proud Boys are responsible for the violence.
However, an examination of the video evidence shows that the Proud Boys were simply defending themselves while being confronted by ANTIFA/BLM agitators.
In one video, a Proud Boy can be seen saving an elderly man from a vicious attack from a communist. Because of extreme censorship constraints imposed by Big Tech monopolists like Google and Twitter, that video can be accessed on the Bitchute alternative video platform.
An additional video compilation shows how the Proud Boys were repeatedly stalked and attacked by ANTIFA/BLM terrorists as they marched patriotically through the city.
There are other videos available on the Proud Boys Telegram stream further vindicating the patriotic group. Despite the facts of the case, the fake news media continues to push their bogus narrative that the Proud Boys were the instigators of the violence, and some hapless city officials have even bought into the propaganda.
“The Proud Boys came to town and completed their mission by creating a divisive situation for the community then leaving, hopefully with the chaos continuing, which is their MO,” Kalamazoo Public Safety Chief Karianne Thomas said.

Although he stopped short at endorsing the Proud Boys, Renk noted that they should have their 1st Amendment right to protest without being mobbed by leftist terrorists.
“We should allow all groups to have their rallies and protest in peace, as long as they are lawfully rallying and protesting. If you go out to confront peaceful rallies and especially if you call yourself “counter-protestors” it appears that you are looking for a confrontation,” Renk wrote.
“I support anyone or any group that wants to protest or hold a rally peacefully and legally no matter what they stand for or say. That is called Free Speech,” he continued.

thelibertydaily--2020-08-18--AWFUL: Late-Night Leftist MSNBC Praises Moochelle Obama for Bashing, Insulting Americans

While not as entertaining ( albeit from a bias perspective ) , silly , and even stimulating as their late-night proceedings in the immediate aftermath of night one of the 2016 Democratic National Convention , MSNBC still provided a few notable moments in Tuesday ’ s 1:00 a.m. Eastern hour after opening night of the 2020 confab .
In the first segment , host Ari Melber ’ s panelists hailed former First Lady Michelle Obama ’ s speech for having sternly condemned and rebuked Americans for not only putting Donald Trump in office , but for causing rampant divisions and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ incorrectly .
Former SiriusXM host Mark Thompson remarked that Obama sounded like a disappointed or upset “ black woman or black mother ” who would often use the phrase “ don ’ t let me have to ” before rendering “ the execution of the thing that we do n't want to let them have to do.
” Thompson explained it meant Obama “ admonished us ” and did so to ensure Americans voted for Joe Biden : University of Texas professor and fellow frequent MSNBC guest Victoria DeFrancesco Soto went even further @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mirror to the nation , and she said , look , look at the division that has been sowed in this country.
” After citing examples of Americans fighting in grocery stores , some refusing to wear masks , and vague claims about people being told in restaurants to go back to where they came from , DeFrancesco Soto expanded on her praise for Obama 's scolding : Divisions in terms of race , divisions in terms of ideology , so what I saw tonight was Michelle Obama saying stop and look at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and we can not continue to spiral in this direction .
And in terms of what it takes to stop that spiral , it 's that hard work , the packing the lunch , the getting ready , being prepared , so she 's letting us know , it 's going to be extremely hard .
That 's the mother in her talking , to the previous guest 's point .
So if we want to stop what we 've been seeing , it 's on us to do it .
It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not — it 's going to be on us because we are the electors and she 's pointing the finger at the responsibility of us , the voter .
Fordham University professor Christina Greer made sure the segment was n't without some bald-faced lies , such as the claim that “ the U.S .
Postal Service has been defunded ” ( click “ expand ” ) : I think it ’ s just — it ’ s so incredibly powerful because we ’ ve already seen the President try to frame November 3rd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is not the victor , then there is automatically voter fraud that has occurred and so what Michelle Obama has done is give Democrats a plan .
The plan is apply for your ballot this evening .
We know that boards of elections are going to be overwhelmed , we know that the U.S .
Postal Service has been defunded , and we 've seen what the President and his Postmaster General have been doing across the country for the past few weeks , and it probably won ’ t let up .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ strategically they 'll say , we 'll stand back .
But we know that the President is on the defensive , because he has failed the American people .
We 're at 160,000 Americans who have died and counting .
We have 40 million unemployed Americans and counting .
We have parents who do not know what will happen with their children or their college-age children because of the President 's failure .
So Michelle Obama not only laid that out , but she 's telling us we must vote as though our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saying that 2020 is the election of — for our lives , but realistically , a colleague of mine , Rebecca Katz , said 2016 was the election of our lives , and we blew it and we have an opportunity to save democracy at the last moment with the 2020 election , and if we do n't do it , we do n't really know what ’ s going to happen moving forward , nationally or internationally .

” MARK THOMPSON : Well , I think Michelle Obama spoke to us , as she said , as she describes herself , as a black woman tonight .
She even says she does n't like politics , and that was important , because it reminds me of something Dr. Dorothy Hite said .
She said that African @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they want to do — African-American women , but they do what they have to do and that 's what I think Michelle Obama was saying to all of us tonight and I even kind of heard the voice of a — of a black mother , many will relate to what I 'm about to say , when a black woman or black mother says , do n't let me have to , and when that is said , it 's usually followed by the execution of the thing that we do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do and so she admonished us .
She said do not not vote .
Do not vote for someone who has no chance of winning .
Do n't let me have to put on my comfortable shoes and all of us stand outside all day and all night to vote .
Do n't let me have to pack a lunch and a breakfast if I have to stay out all night because if that 's necessary , that 's just what I 'll do and Michelle Obama made that very plain tonight .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ up a mirror to the nation , and she said , look , look at the division that has been sowed in this country .
For me , one of the most graphic images was how we 're fighting each other in grocery stores .
You know , over the past couple of years , Ari , we 've seen that most recently because people are n't wearing masks , and people are getting angry and fighting with each other , but we 've been seeing it in stores and restaurants when people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to go back to where they 're from , that they ’ re not from this country .
Divisions in terms of race , divisions in terms of ideology , so what I saw tonight was Michelle Obama saying stop and look at what we 've become as a nation and we can not continue to spiral in this direction .
And in terms of what it takes to stop that spiral , it 's that hard work , the packing the lunch , the getting ready , being prepared , so she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to be extremely hard .
That 's the mother in her talking , to the previous guest 's point .
So if we want to stop what we 've been seeing , it 's on us to do it .
It 's the hard work , and it 's not — it 's going to be on us because we are the electors and she 's pointing the finger at the responsibility of us , the voter .
MELBER : Christina , all of this comes against the backdrop on an attack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the usual spectacle of the Speaker of the House bringing back Congress to deal with this , democracy itself potentially being on the ballot and Michelle Obama spoke to that as well .
Take a look CHRISTINA GREER : I think it ’ s just — it ’ s so incredibly powerful because we ’ ve already seen the President try to frame November 3rd in such a way where if he is not the victor , then there is automatically voter fraud that has occurred and so what Michelle Obama has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The plan is apply for your ballot this evening .
We know that boards of elections are going to be overwhelmed , we know that the U.S .
Postal Service has been defunded , and we 've seen what the President and his Postmaster General have been doing across the country for the past few weeks , and it probably won ’ t let up .
There will be a few places where strategically they 'll say , we 'll stand back , but we know that the President is on the defensive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people .
We 're at 160,000 Americans who have died and counting .
We have 40 million unemployed Americans and counting .
We have parents who do not know what will happen with their children or their college-age children because of the President 's failure .
So Michelle Obama not only laid that out , but she 's telling us we must vote as though our lives depend on it .
Everyone keeps saying that 2020 is the election of — for our lives , but realistically , a colleague of mine , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election of our lives , and we blew it and we have an opportunity to save democracy at the last moment with the 2020 election , and if we do n't do it , we do n't really know what ’ s going to happen moving forward , nationally or internationally .
MELBER : Well , and you lay it out there and that was an interesting part , Christina , I thought , of the way that Michelle Obama navigated that line , she is something that she ’ s earned a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obviously never gotten to be in a partisan place , so she has wider support across the nation .
We see that in the polling , we see that in her book being one of the best-selling books of all time , not just in — among government figures and she walked that line tonight of saying both things can actually get worse , so people , in all sorts of ways , talking about how hard 2020 has been , but she made a direct sort of , I think , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ term Trump would be far worse and yet she also found notes of uplift .
Mark , I ’ m curious .
I go to you because I 've always relied on you for real talk , among our other experts for real talk .
Not just being nice , although it 's good to be nice and so real talk , this , in some ways , understandably , it did n't have the same frisson or passion or in-person excitement of a traditional convention and maybe that 's okay , cause @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Zoom is like , but what was potentially missing , and is it fixable in your view in the coming days , or will it be four days like this where at times tonight as I watched it , it was like and this may be true of both parties ' virtual conventions , but it was like there was a lot of air in the room .
THOMPSON : Well , I think people do know about the limitations of Zoom and I heard from friends who maybe felt a little @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at different points , but I think that some of the real stories overshadowed that , even where there might have been lulls , there were powerful statements from real and everyday Americans .
The young woman who lost her father to COVID .
Bernie Sanders , I also think was great , making the call for unity .
Tonight was important , too because the two personalities — the two individuals who can speak most to millennial voters are Bernie Sanders and Michelle Obama and I think they 're going to have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think it 's even more important , Ari , not so much how we improve on the presentation and production of the convention , but what Democrats do post-convention to get the likes of Michelle Obama and Bernie Sanders before millennials throughout social media because I 'm going to say this : I 've been talking to millennials since the — since — in terms of real talk , I ’ ve been talking to some millennials , even on the phone or in person since the choice of Kamala Harris , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ millennials , are being targeted for disinformation more than anyone else .
And so I ’ m even more concerned about not in a convention format , but what is done on social media to speak to millennials to let them know what ’ s really at stake in this election .
I think they helped a lot .
Bernie Sanders talked about unity and again , Michelle Obama has the greatest moral authority of anyone in public right now , so I think anywhere that might have even been lulls in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

We're at 160,000 Americans who have died and counting. We have 40 million unemployed Americans and counting. We have parents who do not know what will happen with their children or their college-age children because of the President's failure. So Michelle Obama not only laid that out, but she's telling us we must vote as though our lives depend on it. Everyone keeps saying that 2020 is the election of — for our lives, but realistically, a colleague of mine, Rebecca Katz, said 2016 was the election of our lives, and we blew it and we have an opportunity to save democracy at the last moment with the 2020 election, and if we don't do it, we don't really know what’s going to happen moving forward, nationally or internationally.

thelibertydaily--2020-08-18--When Turkey’s ‘Hero’ Beheaded 800 Christians for Refusing Islam

Lessons from the Martyrs of Otranto .
Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center .
The ritual decapitation of 800 Christians who refused Islam 539 years ago—and whose commemoration was last Friday , August 14—sheds much light on contemporary questions concerning the ongoing conflict between Islam and the West .
Background : When he sacked Constantinople in 1453 , Ottoman Sultan Muhammad II was only 21-years-old—meaning he still had many good decades of jihading before him .
He continued expanding into the Balkans , and , in his bid to feed his horses on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prophecies held that “ we will conquer Constantinople before we conquer Rome ” —he invaded Italy and captured Otranto in 1480 .
More than half of its 22,000 inhabitants were massacred , 5,000 hauled off in chains .
To demonstrate his “ magnanimity , ” Sultan Muhammad offered freedom to 800 chained Christian captives , on condition that they all embrace Islam .
Instead , they unanimously chose to act on the words of one of their numbers : “ My brothers , we have fought to save our city ; now it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ !
” Outraged that his invitation was spurned , on August 14 , Muhammad ordered the ritual decapitation of these 800 unfortunates on a hilltop ( subsequently named “ Martyr ’ s Hill ” ) .
Their archbishop was slowly sawed in half to jeers and triumphant cries of “ Allah Akbar !
” ( The skeletal remains of some of these defiant Christians were preserved and can still be seen in the Cathedral of Otranto . )
Now consider how this event relates to current realities : First , whenever Islamic individuals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cite Islam as their motivation—we are instantly told the exact opposite , that they are mere criminals and psychopaths , and that their actions have “ nothing to do with the reality of Islam.
” Yet it was not just run-of-the-mill “ Muslims ” who committed atrocities atop Martyr ’ s Hill , but the virtual leader of Sunni Islam , the sultan himself , who further always kept a pack of Muslim ulema—clerics , scholars , and muftis—to guide and confirm his decisions vis-à-vis infidels ( including massacring those who reject Islam @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a hero for Turkey and its president , Erdoğan , who recently transformed the Hagia Sophia into a mosque , partly to honor the murderous sultan .
Nor was Otranto an aberration .
Over the course of nearly 14 centuries , Islam ’ s official leaders and spokesmen—from sultans and caliphs to ulema and sheikhs—always spoke and acted just like the Islamic State ( or rather vice-versa ) .
Also interesting to reflect on is how even then , over half a millennium ago , Western nations preferred to engage in denial and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reality or aid their beleaguered coreligionists .
Soon after the Otranto massacre , Pope Sixtus IV chided an indifferent West accordingly : Let them not think that they are protected against invasion , those who are at a distance from the theatre of war !
They , too , will bow the neck beneath the yoke , and be mowed down by the sword , unless they come forward to meet the invader .
The Turks have sworn the extinction of Christianity .
A truce to sophistries !
It is the moment not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fight !
Such laments were not uncommon .
Nearly a century later , in 1565 , as a massive Islamic armament was sailing over to besiege the tiny island of Malta , Pope Pius IV , who was trying to raise an army , complained that the king of Spain “ has withdrawn into the woods and France , England and Scotland [ are ] ruled by women and boys.
” Finally and not unlike today , whereas the mass of Western people were ignorant of Islam ’ s doings , a minority @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a historical perspective .
Consider Sebastian Brant ’ s ( b.1457 ) Ship of Fools , a satirical poem on the gradual nature of Islam ’ s advances vis-à-vis a “ sleeping ” Christendom : Our faith was strong in the Orient/It ruled in all of Asia/In Moorish lands and Africa/But now [ since the seventh century ] for us these lands are gone .
.
./We perish sleeping one and all/The wolf has come into the stall/And steals the Holy Church ’ s sheep/The while the shepherd lies asleep/Four sisters of our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ patriarchic kind/Constantinople , Alexandria , Jerusalem , Antioch/But they ’ ve been forfeited and sacked/And soon the head [ Rome ] will be attacked .
As the poem ’ s continuity suggests , learned Europeans saw the Ottoman scourge as the latest in a continuum of Islamic terror : for whereas the Arabs were “ the first troops of locusts ” that appeared “ about the year 630 , ” to quote a contemporary English clergyman , “ the Turks , a brood of vipers , [ are ] worse than their parent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mother.
” Similarly , today ’ s jihadi organizations—the Islamic State , al-Qaeda , Boko Harem , Hamas , Hezbollah , al-Shabaab et al—are the latest “ brood of vipers ” to be hatched by the perennial jihad .
Historical portions of this article were excerpted from and are documented in Ibrahim ’ s Sword and Scimitar : Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West .

Background: When he sacked Constantinople in 1453, Ottoman Sultan Muhammad II was only 21-years-old—meaning he still had many good decades of jihading before him. He continued expanding into the Balkans, and, in his bid to feed his horses on the altar of Saint Peter’s basilica—Muslim prophecies held that “we will conquer Constantinople before we conquer Rome”—he invaded Italy and captured Otranto in 1480. More than half of its 22,000 inhabitants were massacred, 5,000 hauled off in chains.
To demonstrate his “magnanimity,” Sultan Muhammad offered freedom to 800 chained Christian captives, on condition that they all embrace Islam. Instead, they unanimously chose to act on the words of one of their numbers: “My brothers, we have fought to save our city; now it is time to battle for our souls!”
Outraged that his invitation was spurned, on August 14, Muhammad ordered the ritual decapitation of these 800 unfortunates on a hilltop (subsequently named “Martyr’s Hill”). Their archbishop was slowly sawed in half to jeers and triumphant cries of “Allah Akbar!” (The skeletal remains of some of these defiant Christians were preserved and can still be seen in the Cathedral of Otranto.)
Now consider how this event relates to current realities:
First, whenever Islamic individuals or organizations engage in violence against non-Muslims—and cite Islam as their motivation—we are instantly told the exact opposite, that they are mere criminals and psychopaths, and that their actions have “nothing to do with the reality of Islam.”
Yet it was not just run-of-the-mill “Muslims” who committed atrocities atop Martyr’s Hill, but the virtual leader of Sunni Islam, the sultan himself, who further always kept a pack of Muslim ulema—clerics, scholars, and muftis—to guide and confirm his decisions vis-à-vis infidels (including massacring those who reject Islam).
Incidentally, Muhammad II is a hero for Turkey and its president, Erdoğan, who recently transformed the Hagia Sophia into a mosque, partly to honor the murderous sultan.
Nor was Otranto an aberration. Over the course of nearly 14 centuries, Islam’s official leaders and spokesmen—from sultans and caliphs to ulema and sheikhs—always spoke and acted just like the Islamic State (or rather vice-versa).

Soon after the Otranto massacre, Pope Sixtus IV chided an indifferent West accordingly:
Let them not think that they are protected against invasion, those who are at a distance from the theatre of war! They, too, will bow the neck beneath the yoke, and be mowed down by the sword, unless they come forward to meet the invader. The Turks have sworn the extinction of Christianity. A truce to sophistries! It is the moment not to talk, but to act and fight!
Such laments were not uncommon. Nearly a century later, in 1565, as a massive Islamic armament was sailing over to besiege the tiny island of Malta, Pope Pius IV, who was trying to raise an army, complained that the king of Spain “has withdrawn into the woods and France, England and Scotland [are] ruled by women and boys.”
Finally and not unlike today, whereas the mass of Western people were ignorant of Islam’s doings, a minority were always keenly aware, including from a historical perspective. Consider Sebastian Brant’s (b.1457) Ship of Fools, a satirical poem on the gradual nature of Islam’s advances vis-à-vis a “sleeping” Christendom:

Warren Buffett has given up his long-held conviction against buying gold — and he ’ s meanwhile getting out of Goldman Sachs .

Warren Buffett has given up his long-held conviction against buying gold — and he’s meanwhile getting out of Goldman Sachs.
The totemic tycoon revealed in filings late last week that he has scooped up more than 20 million shares of mining giant Barrick Gold Corp. even as he unloaded nearly all of his nearly 2 million shares in Goldman Sachs.
The 89-year-old investing icon’s sudden embrace of the precious yellow metal — which has has previously derided as “useless,” saying that “anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head” at the idea of investing in it — took many on Wall Street by surprise.
But it’s what the Oracle of Omaha did with his other bank stocks that have top analysts talking. In addition to dumping Goldman, Buffett cut his position in JPMorgan Chase by more than 61 percent and sold off more than a quarter of his remaining stake in Wells Fargo.
At the same time, Buffett didn’t touch his 245 million shares in Bank of America, which he has lately beefed up in stock purchases that have left him holding roughly 12 percent of the company.
“Bank of America is a franchise that can be held for the next 100 years,” Wells Fargo analyst Mike Mayo told The Post. “Goldman is in the middle of a revamping from Wall Street to Main Street, and the jury on that will remain out for a while.”
Mayo was referring to Goldman CEO and part-time DJ David Solomon’s plan to reorganize the megabank to focus less on trading, and more on investment banking and its nascent commercial lending business. That revamp, however, has been hampered by the 1MDB bribery scandal in Malaysia. Goldman’s stock is down over 12 percent this year.
Bank of America chief Brian Moynihan, meanwhile, has been a winner in the pandemic, as BofA saw deposits grow by roughly $135 billion in the second quarter alone, which appeals to a long-term investor like Buffett.
“One CEO is grinding out deposit growth while the other is grinding out tunes as a DJ, and also rethinking his entire firm,” quipped Mayo, comparing the perceptions of the two CEOs.
But even Mayo was left a little adrift by Buffett’s decision to cut his JPMorgan Chase stake by almost two-thirds. If Buffett is a fan of Moynihan’s work, he should be even more excited by what JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon is doing at the nation’s largest lender.

SNUB? Queen Moochelle Doesn’t Mention Fast Kamala Once in Convention Speech — Democrats Claim Speech Was Recorded Before Biden Picked

He can not meet this moment .
He simply can not be who we need him to be for us , ” she said .
“ It is what it is , ” Obama added , quoting Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

Black Sports Journalist Jason Whitlock: Democrats Use Fear to Control Blacks — It’s ‘Evil,’ ‘Satanic’

Outkick partner Jason Whitlock appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight on FoxNews where he discussed fear and anti-police sentiment within the Democratic party .
Watch it here : “ I think that fear is a mechanism a tool for control , ” Whitlock said during the appearance .
“ And the Democratic Party , the mainstream media are using fear to control people and to control African Americans in particular .
You can not function properly if you live in an irrational fear .
Again , for those of us that have religious faith , we understand that fear is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you embrace faith is so that you can operate without fear and you can reach your highest potential .
This is just an irrational fear.
” “ When they put that into the platform , when Michelle Obama echoes those thoughts , I ’ m just like , what black communities have they actually lived in ?
” Whitlock asked .
“ Because that is not the fear that is pervasive throughout black communities .
Fear of being stopped by the police and killed , the stats , the facts , the evidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ irrational fear .
So , why is someone trying to instill that fear in us of the police ?
It ’ s like a self-fulfilling prophecy .
If you engage with the police , filled with fear , you ’ re more likely to make really bad decisions that than provoke them to take action .
It ’ s irresponsible , what they ’ re doing and what they ’ re saying .
