I like to write. It helps me to organize my thoughts and inspires me to dig into things that I would otherwise probably not ever know about. But on occasion someone manages to capture the essence of what I am thinking and when that happens I am happy to take a back seat and promote good work.
I would just like to point out for those who have forgotten that I recently suggested that all of the recent mass shootings were antifa directed action taken by INCELs with nothing to lose. That includes the one in El Paso who seems to have been upset by immigration but filled his manifesto with references to climate change and a host of other antifascist bullet points. Yeah, sure, that’s exactly how a white supremacist would talk. I mean, I have never met one, but it is exactly how I would think that a white supremacist might talk. Hell, he went to El Paso to kill mexicans and in a town with 80% mexicans he managed to kill mostly poor white people. It seems that with a little better planning he could have at the very least killed 80% mexicans just by walking down the right street.
But anyway, without any more blather from me, I present:
“The White Supremacist Terrorists Are Coming…The White Supremacist Terrorists Are Coming!”
Authored (satirically) by CJ Hopkins via The Unz Review,
If you enjoyed the global corporatocracy’s original War on Islamicist Terror, you’re going to love their latest spinoff, The War on White Supremacist Terror. It’s basically just like the old War on Terror, except that this time the bad guys are all white supremacists, and Donald Trump is Osama bin Laden … unless Putin is Osama bin Laden. OK, I’m not quite sure who’s Osama bin Laden. Whatever. The point is, the Terrorists are coming!
Yes, that’s right, some racist psycho murdered a bunch of people in Texas, so it’s time to “take the gloves off” again, pass some new kind of Patriot Act, further curtail our civil liberties, and generally whip the public up into a mass hysteria over “white supremacist terrorism.”
The New York Times Editorial Board is already hard at work on that front. In a lengthy op-ed that ran last Sunday, “We Have a White Nationalist Terrorist Problem,” the Board proposes that we would all be safer if the government — but presumably not the current government — could arbitrarily deem people “terrorists,” or “potential terrorists,” or “terrorist sympathizers,” regardless of whether they have any connection to any actual terrorist groups, and … well, here’s what the Editorial Board has in mind.
“The resources of the American government and its international allies would mobilize without delay. The awesome power of the state would work tirelessly to deny future terrorists access to weaponry, money and forums to spread their ideology. The movement would be infiltrated by spies and informants. Its financiers would face sanctions. Places of congregation would be surveilled. Those who gave aid or comfort to terrorists would be prosecuted.”
The Board didn’t mention the offshore gulags, wars of aggression, assassinations, torture, mass surveillance of virtually everyone, and other such features of the original War on Terror, but presumably all that kind of stuff would be included in “the awesome power of the state” that the Board would like the U.S. government to “mobilize without delay.”
And the mandarins of The New York Times were just getting started with the terrorism hysteria. The Tuesday edition was brimming with references to “white supremacy” and “domestic terrorism.” Here are some of the front page headlines … “Trump is a White Supremacist Who Inspires Terrorism.” “White Terrorism Shows Parallels to Islamic State.” “The Nihilist in Chief: how our president and our mass shooters are connected to the same dark psychic forces.” “I Spent 25 Years Fighting Jihadis. White Supremacists Aren’t So Different.” “Trump, Tax Cuts, and Terrorism.“ And so on.
The Times was hardly alone, of course.
In the wake of the El Paso and Dayton shootings, the corporate media went into overdrive, pumping out “white supremacist terrorism” mass hysteria around the clock. The Guardian took a break from smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-Semite to proclaim that El Paso was “Trump-inspired Terrorism.” The Sydney Morning Herald declared that the U.S. is now officially in the throes of a “white nationalist terrorism crisis.“ The Atlantic likened Trump to Anwar al-Awlaki, and assured us that “the worst is yet to come!“ Liberal journalists and politicians rushed onto Twitter to inform their followers that a global conspiracy of white supremacist terrorists “emboldened” or “inspired” by Donald Trump (who, remember, is a Russian secret agent) is threatening the very fabric of democracy, so it’s time to take some extraordinary measures!
Never mind that it turns out that two of the three “white supremacist terrorist” mass murderers in question (i.e., the Gilroy, El Paso, and Dayton shooters) do not appear to have been white supremacists, and that none of them were linked to any terrorist groups. We’re living in the Age of Non-Terrorist Terrorism, in which anyone can be deemed a “terrorist,” or a “suddenly self-radicalized terrorist,” regardless of whether they have any actual connection to organized terrorism.
Terrorism isn’t what used to be.
Back in the day (i.e, the 1970s), there were terrorist groups like the PFLP, ANO, BSO, IRA, RAF, FARC, the Weather Underground, and so on … in other words, actual terrorist groups, committing acts of actual terrorism. More recently, there was al Qaeda and ISIS. Nowadays, however, more or less any attention-seeking sociopath with a death wish and a knock-off AR-15 (or moron with a bunch of non-exploding pipe bombs) can be deemed a bona fide “domestic terrorist,” as long as it serves the global capitalist ruling classes’ official narrative.
The official narrative of the moment is Democracy versus The Putin-Nazis (also known as The War on Populism), which I’ve been covering in these columns, satirically and more seriously, for the better part of the last three years. According to this official narrative, “democracy is under attack” by a conspiracy of Russians and neo-Nazis that magically materialized out of thin air during the Summer of 2016, right around the time Trump won the nomination. OK, the Russia part kind of sputtered out recently, so the global capitalist ruling classes and their mouthpieces in the corporate media are now going full-bore on the fascism hysteria. They’ve been doing this relentlessly since Trump won the election, alternating between the Russia hysteria and the fascism hysteria from week to week, day to day, sometimes hour to hour, depending on which one is “hot” at the moment.
These recent mass shootings have provided them with a golden opportunity, not just to flog the fascism hysteria once again, but to fold it into the terrorism hysteria which Americans have been indoctrinated with since September 11, 2001 (the objective of which indoctrination being to establish in the American psyche “the Terrorist” as the new official enemy, replacing the “Communist” official enemy that had filled this role throughout the Cold War). If you think the original War on Terror was just about oil or geopolitical hegemony, check out “leftist” political Twitter’s response to the El Paso and Dayton shootings. You’ll find, not just hysterical liberals, but “leftists” and even so-called “anarchists,” shrieking about “white supremacist terrorism.”
It was the number one U.S. hashtag on Monday.
No, the original War on Terror (whatever else it was) was probably the most effective fascist psy-op in the history of fascist psy-ops. Fifteen years of relentless exposure to manufactured “terrorism” hysteria has conditioned most Americans (and most Westerners, generally), upon hearing emotional trigger words like “terrorist” and “terrorism” emanating from the mouths of politicians (or the front page of The New York Times) to immediately switch off their critical thinking, and start demanding that the authorities censor the Internet, suspend the U.S. Constitution, and fill the streets with militarized vehicles and special “anti-terror” forces with assault rifles in the “sling-ready” position. This tweet by Geraldo Rivera captures the authoritarian mindset perfectly:
“In the meantime, there must be active-shooter trained, heavily armed security personnel every place innocents are gathered.”
I’m not quite sure what “in the meantime” means. Perhaps it means until the USA, Western Europe, and the rest of the empire, can be transformed into a happy, hate-free, supranational corporate police state where there is no racism, no fascism, no terrorism, and no one ever says bad things on the Internet.
What a glorious, transhuman world that will be, like a living, breathing Benetton ad, once all the racists, terrorists, and extremists have been eliminated, or heavily medicated, or quarantined and reeducated!
Until then, the War on White Supremacist Terrorism, Domestic Terrorism, Islamicist Terrorism, Russian Terrorism, Iranian Terrorism, anti-Semitic Labour Party Terrorism, and any other type of terrorism, extremism, hate, conspiratorial thinking… oh, and Populism (I almost forgot that one), and every other type of non-conformity to global capitalist ideology, will continue until we achieve final victory! It’s coming … sooner than you probably think.
Damn, here I am, at the end of my essay, and I almost forget to call Trump a racist. He is, of course. He’s a big fat racist. I should have put that right at the top. I’m already in hot water with my fellow leftists for not doing that enough. Oh, and for the record, in case there are any other kinds of Inquisitors reading this, I also renounce Satan and all his works.
“white supremacist terrorists” That’s a giggle. 90% of mass shootings are by blacks, when defined as 3 or more people being shot. Don’t bother looking for that stat in your local newspaper. However, Colin will tell you that. Thanks, Mr. Flaherty for some truth and sanity in reporting.
Good point. Believe it or not the N.Y. Times published an article about the on May 22 2016 called “Drumbeat of Multiple Shootings”
Their research I believe showed 75% of mass shootings with four or more victims were perpetrated by young black men. Most Americans would not know this since young black men don’t generate clicks or eyeballs for the mainstream media or fit a narrative.
It’s the same with police shootings, 75% are non black but you won’t see this on mainstream media sites.
Are Ashcan.nazi jooz considered caucasian?
No, but give them an Anglo name and western clothes and most Jewish folk pass for white.
For example, politicians like Donald Drumpf and John [Cohn] Kerry.
22winmag’s paternal grandfather was a Cohn, so everyone fuck off, if you please!
Our biggest issue in America is media supremacy.
Not remotely funny or clever.
“These recent mass shootings have provided them with a golden opportunity”
“These recent shootings have reinforced the globo homo narrative that homogeneous societies are raycist and must be replaced with infinite diversity by way of open borders” There fify.
by the way, if POC did this, it would have only been covered by local news, and no one would be talking about it.
Booyah! Google does not like this link.
I saw this in the late 1970s on broadcast TV as a child and remember it like it was yesterday.

22winmag is part-Jew, part Kraut (German), part Dutch (Mormon no less), and worst of all, part Quebecois Canuck and he will have none of this race baiting shit!
We hang together as nominal, legit Americans or we get rolled by the proverbial communist tanks, and I’m not talking about Antifa-gs. I’m talking about foreign mercs and foreign military.
I wonder if Admin was high on meth or otherwise cognitively impaired when he gave you posting rights after having denied them to Iravani, a far better writer.
There is such a thing as stolen valor but now you have created something there is not a term for yet. You steal the victimhood of Hispanics who got their asses blown away for nothing. You replace their bodies with dead poor white people from another dimension, I wonder is their watches read backwards (Millennium).
You are a sloppy journalist, you should keep writing, your articles are incoherent and more than fiction, they are garbage.
I will be ashamed for the Hollywood harridans if they dare to come here today to defend your ‘important’ work.
Seriously, Rob, get a grip, you are better than this.
What’s needed in this ongoing feud is a good mama dog to get the children to act right…..
It’s not a feud. I would gladly avoid this dude’s crap but somebody has to speak up against the lies. Before anybody gets the idea that lying on TBP is now ok because it pleases some readers.
Which is exactly what you have been doing all this time. You lying antifa communist.
Do you think the nurse helped with Holly O’s commentary? I do.
Is when lying on TBP came into vogue. And, since the hoax was not explained, it became the way of the land.
I don’t capisce the nurse reference but you may be right about the rest, anon. Ordinarily, one of the big dogs would be all over this like stink on KimKa’s cootchie. Maybe they decided to let lying dogs lie.
Well maggie, if your were not a lying coward who hides behind false names to promote your dishonesty then perhaps lying wouldn’t be in vogue. It is only you who lie on this blog. And it is only ec who supports your lies.
Struck a nerve I guess. Well, the mexican embassy has filed a complaint of extradition for his killing of eight mexican nationals. Not eight hispanics. Not eight green card holders. Eight mexican nationals who were in the Walmart and got killed. Now, out of 22 killed, that makes for 36%. But the population of El Paso is 80% hispanic. You can tell me how many of those people are actually illegal aliens. You should know that number right off the top of your head.
There are two Walmart Supercenters in El Paso, and two Walmart Supercenters in Juarez. The two super centers in El Paso are 4.5 and 5.5 miles from the boarder crossing. The two in Juarez are less than a mile from the boarder crossing. So if the eight mexican nationals who got killed had been shopping in Juarez, then they would not have been killed. I would think that you would consider that to be a favorable outcome. I too would consider that to be a favorable outcome. Eight fewer people would have been dead and none of them would have been in El Paso. If they weren’t in El Paso, then your Antifa comrade would never have driven 600 miles to shoot random people in an american Walmart on the off chance that he might also kill some mexicans. But since the mexican nationals were there in the Walmart, he figured he had a pretty good chance of killing some. Apparently he really wasn’t very selective as to his targets, but then he most likely had never fired the gun before he drove to El Paso. Just like the Antifa lunatic in tacoma, the Antifa lunatic in Dayton.
Do you see the outcome of your belief system (BS)?
So let’s face it. I am no journalist. In fact, I find it offensive that you would call me a journalist. I write what I believe. You don’t have to agree with it. You have the right to question my motives, but you probably shouldn’t call Jim names. He does not control what I write just as he does not control what you write. After your years of foul language and innuendo I find it more than a bit odd that you would complain about an article that I did not write in the first place. Or did you forget which post you happened to be commenting on?
Be that as it may, I was not stealing anyone’s valor. I was in fact commenting on the effectiveness of your Antifa comrade at achieving his goal. If his goal was as stated in his manifesto, then he truly did fall far short. If his goal was to start the glorious revolution then perhaps he was somewhat more successful, although it is unlikely that his actions will be instrumental in bringing your marxist ideology to merika. But at the very least, his actions might possibly inspire our glorious communist congress to propose legislation that takes your guns away from you. That is, of course, if you have any guns.
That is what this post was about. It wasn’t about mexican valor. It wasn’t about who got killed. It was about using the actions of one Antifa extremist to justify editing the second amendment. The foundational document that guarantees your right to defend your own life. Without that right, then your right to free speech, which you practice every day on this very blog, will simply disappear.
Now as to this;
I am sorry but I don’t understand what you are trying to say. Could you try and reword it so the sentence makes more sense?
You’re no journalist, that’s about the only truth you spoke. You are a liar. You sure can pack the lies in a comment. You are a master of dishonesty. No doubt your fakery is boffo in Hollywood where everybody is fake. I could go back and counter your points but it is useless to argue with a liar. That is what you are, a straight up liar. Where are your attack bitches now? Perhaps they got tired of your lies. Maybe not, some women love liars.
Well comrade, you might try your best but most people here are downvoting you. You should certainly try to maintain your approach but you should be under no delusion that your efforts are likely to deliver any more opposition than support. Your time here is over. Now you are screaming into the wind and nobody can hear you.
You boys need to cut this out now,and dammit I mean now.If you don’t kiss & make up I’ll wash your mouth out with soap & tomorrow at church you’ll have to stand up and apologize to God.
What’s it going to be boys?
Robert?
Coyote?
Hard to say. I have never seen Antifa back down. Perhaps others have, but mostly they just double down and keep on swinging – which is exactly what your own comrade is doing. I see no effort on his part to stop what he has for so long been successful doing. It must be horribly frustrating for him, but that’s not my problem.
[ “the Board proposes that we would all be safer if the government — but presumably not the current government — could arbitrarily deem people “terrorists,” or “potential terrorists,” or “terrorist sympathizers,” regardless of whether they have any connection to any actual terrorist groups, “]
I’m down with that. Let’s start by deeming the NYT board, the $PLC, the ACLU and DNC all terrorists. They’ve certainly tried hard enough!
And after that we can name the WaPo board, the HuffPost board, the entire city governments of Chicago, L.A. and NYC, all immigrants’ rights organizations (especially the importers / coyotes), and anyone who creates “sanctuaries” for illegal immigrants …
Do you really want to go down that road, NYT Board? When you reach the end, where will you hide?
As to your points preceding the piece, he could have killed 100% Mexicans just by walking down the right street…..IN DALLAS. He sure as hell didn’t need to drive 600 miles to El Paso to find a high concentration of Mexicans. I bet if you asked anyone over the age of 16 in Dallas where all the Mexicans lived, they could tell you and likely show you on a map exactly what streets formed the boundary of the areas most inhabited by them.
I used to be seen as a radical. I’m not seen as such anymore. I liked being the radical. Where did my radicalism go? I haven’t changed (much) but now sites like these, many others, and even some MSM are talking just like me. I’m becoming disturbed by this, you normals adopting my views. There must be something in the water… or maybe, just maybe… I was right all along? Or have you all gone batshit crazy? Ohh, the ambivalence, the ennui, the jaded sepia toned, soft focus clarity of my past future self, ruined, depleted, drained of the brilliant energy of youth. You have ‘mediocratized’ me, damn you all.
Walter…that made me laugh out loud!
Please MOAR witty roar!
Why thank you Walter. That is nicest thing anyone has said here.
Chicago must be filled with Black nationalist! I prefer to call people who go crazy and kill innocent people, “nuts” What’s with using Wallmarts as a place to kill people? Maybe Wallmarts are the problem? I think admin. should write an article about this.
