Submitted by Michael Snyder via The End of The American Dream blog,
America is in shock. On Sunday, a 29-year-old Islamic terrorist named Omar Mateen shot 102 people at a gay club known as Pulse in the heart of Orlando, Florida. 49 of those that were shot died, and 53 were wounded. So how in the world did this happen?
Well, when you combine radical political correctness with extreme government incompetence and the dramatic growth of radical Islam inside the United States, you create an environment which is absolutely primed for Islamic terror.
The truth is that the FBI knew about this guy well in advance. In fact, they had even interviewed him three separate times over the years. And at one point the government had been investigating the mosque that he had been attending, but that investigation was shut down by Hillary Clinton’s State Department. Mateen had told the FBI that he hoped to be a martyr someday, and those were not just idle words. His twisted ideology fueled his actions, and so the choices that he ultimately made should not have come as a surprise to law enforcement authorities. But now that this has happened, will it change the way that the government approaches Islamic terror?
The following are 17 facts about the Orlando shooter that every American should know…
#1 According to the Director of the FBI, Mateen had “links to al-Qaida, Hezbollah, and the Islamic State“.
#2 Mateen’s father has openly expressed support for the Taliban on YouTube.
#3 Despite those links to terror organizations, Mateen was allowed to work “as a security guard at a local courthouse“.
#4 Mateen wasn’t directly hired by the courthouse. Instead, he was officially an employee of the largest security services company in the world…
The Orlando nightclub terrorist who pledged allegiance to ISIS worked almost a decade for a major Department of Homeland Security contractor, raising alarms that ISIS sympathizers and agents have infiltrated the federal agency set up after 9/11 to combat terrorists.
Officials say Omar Mir Seddique Mateen, an Afghan-American who held two firearms licenses and a security officer license, was employed by the security firm G4S Secure Solutions USA Inc. since Sept. 10, 2007. The Jupiter, Fla.-based company merged with the Wackenhut Corp. after 9/11 and assumed federal contracts.
#5 It turns out that this U.S. subsidiary of G4S is a company that works very closely with “the Department of Homeland Security, the US Army, and federal and local law enforcement.”
#6 Mateen’s ex-wife says that he would repeatedly beat her while they were married.
#7 He started to become radicalized after separating from his first wife. While they were together, she said that he didn’t show much interest in religion.
#8 He made pilgrimages to Saudi Arabia in 2011 and 2012.
#9 He claimed to personally know the Boston Marathon Bombers.
#10 According to the FBI, Mateen has “been on the radar before“, he was interviewed by them three separate times, and they conducted a 10 month investigation of his activities in 2013.
#11 He is being described as “unhinged and unstable” by his former coworkers.
#12 Mateen once declared that he hoped to martyr himself someday, and the FBI knew all about this.
#13 Despite everything that the federal government knew about Mateen, he was still permitted to legally buy guns just last week.
#14 In an odd twist, it also turns out that Mateen was a registered Democrat.
#15 A respected Islamic scholar was urging Muslims in Orlando to “get rid” of homosexuals just a couple of months before this shooting took place…
Farrokh Sekaleshfar – a British-born doctor and Muslim scholar – has gained a following by urging Muslims to ‘get rid of’ homosexuals.
And in April, he took his speech titled ‘How to deal with the phenomenon of homosexuality’ to the Husseini Islamic Center in Sanford, just outside Orlando, Florida.
Two months later, 29-year-old Omar Mateen carried out the worst massacre in US history by opening fire on a gay club in the same city.
#16 Hillary Clinton’s State Department shut down an investigation of the mosque that Mateen attends because it “unfairly singled out Muslims“.
#17 Just moments before the attack, Mateen reportedly called 911 to swear his allegiance to ISIS.
When is it going to finally sink in for our politically correct politicians that Islamic terror is a major threat?
There are lots of other Omar Mateens out there. And as radical Islam continues to spread both inside and outside this country, the threat is only going to get a lot worse.
Barack Obama is a perfect example of just how clueless many of our top politicians are about all of this. During his speech to the nation, he did not connect this act of terror with radical Islam in any way, shape or form. But the only reason why Mateen did what he did was because of his worldview. He felt perfectly justified in picking up a weapon and gunning down dozens of people, and martyrdom was a reward in his eyes. If he had not been immersed in the world of radical Islam for years, he never would have done such a thing.
Wrong beliefs lead to wrong actions. We see this in action all around us every day, but most of the time the consequences are not as dramatic as we just witnessed in Orlando.
As I have been warning about for some time now, Islamic terror attacks inside the United States are going to continue to get worse.
If you think what happened in Orlando was bad, just wait until these terrorists get their hands on chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.
The detonation of a single weapon of mass destruction in one of our major cities would instantly change life as we know it for every man, woman and child in this entire nation.
The ideology that fuels these terrorists continues to grow, and over time it is inevitable that they will acquire increasingly more powerful weapons.
So yes, gunning down dozens of people in a crowded nightclub is an atrocity that is so evil that it is hard to find words to describe it.
But someday we will see far, far worse in this nation, and at this point we are completely unprepared to deal with that reality.
The 18th fact, this scenario will be repeated again and again until the caliphate is established!
Radical Political Correctness…….great way to put it!
“The Origins of Political Correctness
February 5, 2000, Bill Lind, 220 Comments
An Accuracy in Academia Address by Bill Lind
Variations of this speech have been delivered to various AIA conferences including the 2000 Consevative University at American University
Where does all this stuff that you’ve heard about this morning – the victim feminism, the gay rights movement, the invented statistics, the rewritten history, the lies, the demands, all the rest of it – where does it come from? For the first time in our history, Americans have to be fearful of what they say, of what they write, and of what they think. They have to be afraid of using the wrong word, a word denounced as offensive or insensitive, or racist, sexist, or homophobic.
We have seen other countries, particularly in this century, where this has been the case. And we have always regarded them with a mixture of pity, and to be truthful, some amusement, because it has struck us as so strange that people would allow a situation to develop where they would be afraid of what words they used. But we now have this situation in this country. We have it primarily on college campuses, but it is spreading throughout the whole society. Were does it come from? What is it?
We call it “Political Correctness.” The name originated as something of a joke, literally in a comic strip, and we tend still to think of it as only half-serious. In fact, it’s deadly serious. It is the great disease of our century, the disease that has left tens of millions of people dead in Europe, in Russia, in China, indeed around the world. It is the disease of ideology. PC is not funny. PC is deadly serious.
If we look at it analytically, if we look at it historically, we quickly find out exactly what it is. Political Correctness is cultural Marxism. It is Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms. It is an effort that goes back not to the 1960s and the hippies and the peace movement, but back to World War I. If we compare the basic tenets of Political Correctness with classical Marxism the parallels are very obvious.”
Taken from:
Isn’t it wonderful how the Progressives (really communists, marxists and fascists) manage to harangue all the various minority groups like into believing that THEY and THEY ALONE have all the answers. They even managed to get gays to endorse the sand nigger muslim invasion of of their own country and all the gays could do was scream MOAR!
Even after Orlando I’ll bet we still see gays endorsing muslims as the leftist progressives push for MOAR muslims. This shit can only be defined as mental illness. The fucking muzzies are totally straight up and honest about what their intentions, nay………OBLIGATIONS are and the leftists still manage to get them to all sing kumbaya together.
The fucking “minority” groups are being played like a fiddle and they have no idea. They never do despite history teaching that they always fare very badly under leftist tyranny. They’ll scream for MOAR even as they get loaded on the cattle cars. I’ll bet the cattle cars next time will be self driving, good for the environment hybrids which will make it all ok with the minorities. As they step into the “showers” their only question will be “are these low flow shower heads?”. I reckon they’ll prefer solar ovens too!
How the hell can you have any faith in the human race with the repeated results we keep getting?
The real reason we can never escape this shit is because good, honest, decent people don’t want to control others. They prefer that others control themselves. That leaves a power vacuum that busy body, no value added morans are drawn to like flies to shit and we end up with feces like Hitlary, Pelosi, Reid, Bush, Obammy running our lives and so on.
We need to tweak our own government to become a Radical Totalitarian US Constitutional government after the fall.
I don’t believe for a single second that our top politicians are “clueless” or even incompetent. They simply do not work for or give two shits about the American people. They take their orders from a higher power which is why I don’t expect tRump to get far and I take no joy in saying that. tRump is a direct threat to their gravytrain. Not a good place to be!
We are at war, yet we refuse to acknowledge it. We refuse that our enemy is an enemy.
Which is why we are losing it and will continue to do so.
This was an obvious Islamic attack from the beginning, if we need to have that explained to us to convince us it was then there is somewhere between little and no hope for a win.
The author lays out a solid case for FLEA involvement in this slaughter, then comes to the precise conclusion that the perps want everyone to arrive at.
What a fuggin genius.
IS…..you should have also included Boehner and McConnell. It is the establishment, not just liberals/Dem’s.
Kokoda, I got Bush in there. They’re good for 17 years of evil doing combined at the federal level during my lifetime counting time at the CIA.
#18 —– Drudge today is reporting that Mateen himself was a ……. wait for it ………. homo!!
Only thing you really need to know is that he was a Muslim practicing the Islamic religion . Following the orders of the …the greatest goat Fucker of all ,Mohammed…
So the FBI investigates this radical Islamic jihadist over and over and just can’t see a problem with him. He is so trustworthy that he can work in conjunction with homeland security protecting all of us. Could this be anymore ass-backward? But no worries, we will go ahead and take guns away from everyone and keep frisking grandmas at the airport so we will all be safe. We are truly living in an Alice in Wonderland messed up world.
The MSM will piss themselves trying to prove this was nothing more than a latent homo killing other homo’s because he hated himself . Then they can get to the real task at hand….disarming the American people before the collapse .
TPTB are in full crap mode hoping they get this done soon . If they don’t, they know there are a lotta’ lamp posts and unlimited amounts of rope .
Democrats are a bigger threat to USA than ISIS
#18 There WAS no fuckin shooter and nobody got shot.
There. Fixed.
Am I the only person to find it odd that he purchased both weapons LAST WEEK and then turned around and used them with the kind of skill and efficiency that would make a SEAL team look good? Does anyone who has ever been in combat understand the kind of stress that being in a firefight produces when you have the support and solidarity of a unit you have been working closely with for years and the kind of familiarity with your weapon that can only happen with constant and repeated practice and handling?
I have given up trying to even get my head around any type of narrative in the corrupted system we now inhabit. Everything reeks of falsehood and calumny, nothing follows the laws of logic or experience, every explanation offers scenarios so implausible or far fetched as to require a Hollywood style suspension of disbelief for the official version to hang together.
We live in a world so tightly controlled in terms of information and reality that 1984 looks like a Disney version of our political landscape.
HF
Never been in combat. But, I wonder, how much “stress” can there be when you’re the only person with a weapon?
The way the narrative is bouncing around –
Gay / not gay,
Wife # 1/ wife #2
Alone / not alone
Victims / no victims
Devote / not devote
Radicalized / not radicalized
The “timeline” between from the start to the end is – IMO – sketchy.
Lack of credible video concerning emergency response supposedly hours after the situation was resolved – where are the ambulances?
It smells to me like “they” are throwing all sorts of things out there – long after they usually have to – to try to see what sticks.
The responses on the part of Obama / Clinton / Trump fuel more “feed-back” to be “assessed” for story development.
Who knows where this all leads?
And from PCR:
~
One person who said he is a veteran said the AR-15 can have a 30-round clip. That would mean four reloadings in order to shoot 103 people. The veteran said that the rifle can be reloaded in 5 seconds: one clip is dropped out, another put in, and the bolt released. But 5 seconds is not fast enough to prevent being rushed. Remember, sprinters can cover 100 yards—300 feet—in less than 10 seconds. Ordinary people who are not couch potatoes can cover 300 feet in 20 seconds. That means they can cover 150 feet in 10 seconds or 75 feet in 5 seconds or 15 feet in 1 second.. In the crowded club, people were likely no more than 10 feet from the shooter, 20 feet at the most. Moreover, if there is only one shooter, he can be rushed in an arc that he cannot possibly cover. It is difficult to imagine that there were no veterans in the club, no people aware that guns run out of bullets and have to be reloaded and that so many people would miss four opportunities to disarm the shooter. It is hard to imagine that none of the hundreds of people present were capable of presence of mind. Bottles could be thrown at him, glasses, chairs. And no one did anything?
“Never been in combat. But, I wonder, how much “stress” can there be when you’re the only person with a weapon?”
About the equivalent of hitting a patch of black ice at 65 mph on a bridge and doing multiple 360’s.
How does he know who is armed and isn’t? Who is behind him? Based on what we know thus far he’s never killed anyone before, you have any idea what seeing that kind of carnage is like even if you aren’t being shot? The sights of blood and wounds and shit and the rush of adrenaline accompanied by the sounds and the panic of how many people? Having to change mags at the very least a dozen times? And that’s if there are zero malfunctions, jams or misfires with a weapon you’ve had for four or five days. Should I go on or does that help a little?
Maybe if you are all doped up, already a complete sociopath with a history of mass murder and or six or seven tours under your belt or some other combination of attributes that desensitize and deaden you (which, funny enough would also hamper your ability to think and act with precision and dexterity) I don’t think that it would be possible for most human beings.
Of course maybe I’m looking at the world through the lens of my White, cis-gender, patriarchal, Bible hugging, flag waving, privilege, but I’m guessing not so much.
HF
It appears virtually all the victims, and others, were hiding and cowering in fear.
Nevertheless, I do appreciate your answer … many things I did not consider.
HF – have you seen footage of people under fire, bodies of the dead, bleeding wounded? Has anyone seen the inside of the night club shot all to hell from this torrent of bullets? Please post the links.

Not saying this isn’t a FF. As far as I’m concerned, it is too early to make that call. Now, I really don’t see OPD or the FBI or whoever else is investigating the crime letting the media inside the building to take pictures, or having let them do so prior to now. It is, I suspect, still an active crime scene. Channel 9 ain’t getting inside or any other media with a camera. For that matter, when was the last time there was a domestic mass shooting or act of terrorism where pictures of dead, shot-up, mangled bodies were shown on TV or in your local paper? It just isn’t done very often or at all.
If the attack did indeed occur, then I assure you that OPD and FBI forensics have thousands of blood and guts photos, but I sincerely doubt that they will share anytime soon. But regardless, as I said after Brussels, those who desire to believe that it is a FF will scrutinize every picture of people bleeding, or being assisted or wheeled into an ambulance as being nothing more than “drill photos”. Sometimes we believe that which we wish to believe for a number of reasons. I’m not accusing you of that as I realize that you are capable of critical thought. I just think it is premature to draw a final conclusion. BTW, I think Sandy Hook was a FF, but admittedly it took time and investigation on my part to draw that conclusion.
Somebody’s whiteness is showing.
nkit, I ain’t holding my breath waiting for anything from the Feebs. If it looks like bullshit, then it’s most likely bullshit. I never watch TV and wouldn’t have even heard about this if not for TBP. The TV addicts are all breathlessly postulating about the whole fraudulent story, but seeing it here, I got it from y’all and never even took it seriously.
I think the whole thing is a fuckin lie, just like Sandy Hoax. That means that, to me, neither is a false flag, because both are just frauds. A false flag attack is like 911, where there was an actual attack, more than one in fact, but it was blamed on someone else. This shit, like Sandy Hoax is just a total lie, and nothing actually happened outside of what was faked up for TV coverage.
BL, no I haven’t. My comments were meant to infer doubt.
I doubt it went down as described by the official narrative.
British Security Firm places Craigslist advertisement for Orlando, offers work to 75 people, cash for “event”.
Same company provides “Crisis Actors” and is affiliated with G4S (company alleged shooter worked for). Alleged shooter also appears to have been an actor with an IMDB page.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5753533/
Crisis Cast specializes in “Mass Casualty Events”.
I’m not really even digging, this is all stuff anyone can google with a few minutes of spare time.
Let’s recap: A company that specializes in “mass casualty role play events” that employ “award winning crisis actors” places a Craigslist ad for 75 people to be paid in cash two days before the Orlando event. Same company is affiliated with the company that has employed shooter for the past 4 years. Not one of the doctors from the ORMC has any reviews, clips, citations of affiliated stories regarding their employment at the ORMC until the day after the event. Multiple videos exist showing lightly wounded or those with no visible wounds being carried towards the Pulse nightclub. No videos exist of bodies, interior of the club, triage, etc.
ALL of the 911 tapes from the evening of the Orlando event are “missing” because the Broadcastify computer went down @ midnight.

Blah, blah, blah.
It goes on and on and on.
The only thing we know for sure is that the same government that routinely drops automatic weapons by the ton into other countries in order to overthrow their democratically elected governments is now focused like a laser on taking away your own pea shooters.
“Democrats acknowledge that their strategy largely is to wear down Republicans. They’re considering into-the-night talkathons highlighting the issue and will keep pounding away at GOP ties to the NRA, which has long driven opposition to any further limits on gun sales.”
“We’ll win, sooner or later,” said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. “We’ll keep trying. We’re not giving up.”

What we really need is a moon sized asteroid hurtling towards us at 50,000 miles per hour. Since the Universe is the ultimate recycler (the iron in your blood came from dead stars) we could even bill the entire event as The Ultimate Green Project to get everyone on-board with it. It’s an idea whose time has truly come.

One of the first people to be interviewed by ABC News on the scene in Orlando had a IMDB page also . I could go back a get the guys name if you would like it.
