CNN: ‘Say, Islamic Terrorists Just Copied White Racists’
Europe experienced yet another outrageous terror attack on Thursday — and again it was carried out by suspected Islamic terrorists who drove a van into a crowd of pedestrians, killing 13 and injuring more than 50 others in Barcelona, Spain. Clearly, plowing vehicles into crowds is the new Islamist terror tactic of choice. This attack comes only five days after the Charlottesville riot where a young woman was killed when a white supremacist rammed his car into a crowd of protesters.
So we’re not surprised that this was CNN’s “in-depth reporting” on the Spain terror attack: Correspondent Jim Sciutto said, “In light of the uproar of the last several days, five days apart you have a white supremacist in Charlottesville use a vehicle to kill, and here you have attackers at least following the modus operandi of terrorists using vehicles apparently to kill as well, and those shared tactics that should be alarming.” Anchor Wolf Blitzer, rather than questioning Sciutto’s obviously faulty and ridiculous assertion, chose instead to reinforce the flawed connection, responding, “Yeah, there will be questions about copycats. There will be questions about what happened in Barcelona. Was it at all, at all a copycat version of what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia? … They used the same killing device, a vehicle.”
Clearly CNN has an agenda to connect the murderous act of a white supremacist with the terrorist attack of suspected Islamic terrorists. But it’s utterly ridiculous to suggest that those who perpetrated the terror attack in Barcelona were inspired by the Charlottesville attack. The idea that the use of a vehicle as a murder weapon is somehow a novel concept first seen in Charlottesville is flat-out absurd. What of Nice, France, or London, England? Barcelona is the eighth such vehicular attack in Europe in 2017 alone.
But CNN’s fake news commentary wasn’t limited to its reporting on the Spain terror attack. Earlier in the week CNN published a dubious map of “hate groups” in the U.S. We say dubious because CNN relied on the grossly biased and left-leaning Southern Poverty Law Center for its listing of such “hate groups.” The SPLC profits handsomely from its efforts, including a $1 million donation from Apple just this week. But however well-intentioned the organization began, it’s now little more than a left-wing hate group itself. Its listing wrongly classifies several conservative groups as hate groups simply because their political positions aren’t leftist-approved. With alt-leftist hate groups like antifa justifying violence against those they claim promote hate, CNN has put conservatives at risk. At CNN, it’s less about reporting the news and more about promoting leftist propaganda.

European Nations Have A
Choice To Make – Be Nice Or Survive
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ The nations of Europe have a decision to make and it’s not very complicated at all. Do they want to continue with the self-destructive, suicidal importation of Islamists that they are currently engaged in, the Merkel... Soros system of the unraveling the societal fabric and the cultural destruction of the continent? Or do they want to put an end to it and return to the principles of national sovereignty, trashing the failed European Union, or at a minimum its current open borders repopulation scheme? It should be an easy decision to make if it is based simply upon what is best for the nations involved. By continuing down the path they’re now on they will also continue the horrific surge in terrorist attacks, rapes, cultural degradation and division. They will struggle with the ever-increasing economic distress associated with burgeoning government support, skyrocketing social services and healthcare expenses, eventual bankruptcy and likely failed state status... http://rickwells.us/european-nations-choice-make-nice-survive/.
Bannon's exit means 'liar-nObama wins 3rd term'
by Art Moore
{wnd.com} ~ The departure of Steve Bannon from the White House Friday drew strong responses from both left and right... Some conservative activists who have supported Trump feared the loss of Bannon made it less likely the president would fulfill campaign promises made to the Republican base that helped elect him, while Democratic lawmakers and activists who viewed Bannon as a divisive figure celebrated his exit. “It seems that the West Wing is now being run by the liberal Democrats,” said Viguerie, the chairman of ConservativeHQ.com. “Gary Cohen, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, General John Kelly, H.R. McMaster and the liar-nObama holdovers at the NSC have all survived and thrived, while the conservatives like Steve Bannon, Derek Harvey, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, Rich Higgins and even the establishment Republicans like Reince Priebus and Sean Spicer, have been run off.”... http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/bannons-exit-means-obama-wins-3rd-term/.
Islamist propaganda coming
soon to local newspaper near you
Nihad Awad is one of the co-founders of CAIR
by Leo Hohmann
{wnd.com} ~ An investigative journalism center is passing off as fact a report by the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations that hate crimes against American mosques jumped sharply in 2015 and continue to occur at historically high rates — about once every three days... ProPublica is a New York City-based nonprofit journalism center partially funded by billionaire George Soros that shares data-driven investigative stories with newspapers of all sizes and local TV stations across the United States. But ProPublica‘s newest project on hate crimes is raising eyebrows because of its reliance on a questionable source for its data. The report says more than 370 “hate incidents” directed at U.S. mosques and Islamic centers have been catalogued by CAIR since April 2013... http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/islamist-propaganda-coming-soon-to-local-newspaper-near-you/

Muslims Tell Europe: "One Day All This Will Be Ours"
Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán
by Giulio Meotti
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ This week, yet another Islamic terrorist attack targeted the Spanish city of Barcelona. As it was for many years under Muslim rule, it is, therefore, like Israel, land which many Islamists believe they are entitled to repossess... At the same time, far from Spain, elementary schools have been closing, shuttered by the state after the number of children dropped to less than 10% of the population. The government is converting these structures into hospices, providing care for the elderly in a country where 40% of the people are 65 or older. That is not a science-fiction novel. That is Japan, the world's oldest and most sterile nation, where there is a popular expression: "ghost civilization". According to Japan's National Institute of Population and Social Security Research, by 2040 most of the country's smaller cities will see a dramatic drop of one-third to one-half of their population. Predictions also suggest that in 15 years, Japan will have 20 million empty houses. Is that also the future of Europe?... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10748/europe-muslims-demographyHungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán

Romney Goes Full Anti-White Racist
In Attacks On President Trump
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Some of us might have forgotten over time why we have grown to so vehemently loathe Mitt Romney... Others might have been willing to give the elitist establishment trash another chance since President Trump had attempted to patch things up by “considering” him for the Secretary of State position. Romney reminded us himself why we detest him and once again demonstrated that he’s not one of us in so many ways aside from his bank accounts, investments and real estate portfolios. He’s globalist Democrat through and through and he’s given up trying to hide it from us. Traitor Mitt issued a statement that sounds as if it could have been written for him by liar-nObamabot Ben Rhodes or maybe Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling a guess, admittedly I’ve never read her fiction, lame, philosophical Fantasyland drivel... http://rickwells.us/romney-goes-full-anti-white-racist-attacks-president-trump/.

{townhall.com} ~ Many Christian organizations are fearful for their safety after CNN published a bogus “hate map” concocted by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
“Here are all the active hate groups where you live,” CNN’s headline declared.
The list included among others American Family Association, Family Research Council, Alliance Defending Freedom, Liberty Counsel and Pacific Justice Institute.
American Family Association blasted the CNN story calling it a “sham news article that could easily incite violence and place AFA employees and supporters in harm’s way.”
Liberty Counsel President Mat Staver demanded an immediate retraction – calling CNN’s report “false, defamatory and dangerous.”
“Liberty Counsel is not a hate group,” he said. “The false ‘hate’ label is very damaging to our reputation and is a safety risk to our staff. Liberty Counsel is a Christian ministry, and hates no one.”
Conservatives and Christians have good reason to be worried.
In 2012, Floyd Lee Corkins opened fire inside Family Research Council headquarters in Washington, D.C. A security guard was shot and wounded.
The domestic terrorist told police he wanted to kill as many employees as possible to intimidate opponents of same-sex marriage. Corkins brought along Chick-fil-A sandwiches, which he intended to smear on the faces of dead staffers.
So what does this have to do with CNN’s story?
Corkins told authorities that he picked his target using the Southern Poverty Law Center’s so-called “hate map.”
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins appeared on my nationally syndicated radio show Thursday to condemn CNN for using material from an organization that is “an attack dog of the Left.”
“They are not a neutral arbiter that is calling balls and strikes. They are on the field – playing. They are pushing an agenda and anyone who opposes them – they slap a label on them,” Perkins told me.
“They (SPLC) are inciting violence and it needs to stop,” he added.
Liberty Counsel pointed out that had CNN done due diligence they would have discovered that the SPLC hate map has been widely discredited.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation removed the SPLC as a resource in 2014 – during the liar-nObama Administration.
And Liberty Counsel reports that in 2016 the Justice Department reprimanded SPLC’s lawyers for repeating “hate” misinformation.
Shortly after I called out CNN on my nationally syndicated radio show, they issued an editor’s note:
“The headline on this story has been changed to more closely align with the content of the piece, which clearly indicates that the data on hate groups is from the Southern Poverty Law Center. This story has also been updated to provide direct links to the full list from the SPLC as opposed to publishing the entire list here.”
That’s not good enough.
CNN must retract the entire story and publicly vow to never again use Southern Poverty Law Center’s inflammatory propaganda.
The cold hard reality is that CNN is responsible for placing a target on the backs of well-respected conservative groups and Christian ministries.
We can only pray there’s not another Floyd Corkins lurking in the shadows – and reading CNN’s bogus report.
