If You See Something...

by Mark Steyn

...shut up, racist

That's Kate McMillan's headline summation of the Big Security State in an age of political correctness.

On the one hand, the Department of Homeland Security enjoins us: "If you see something, say something." It's an expensive, focus-grouped official government slogan.

On the other hand, when it's happening in your street, it's all a bit more complicated:

A man who has been working in the area said he noticed a half-dozen Middle Eastern men in the area in recent weeks, but decided not to report anything since he did not wish to racially profile those people.

"Middle Eastern men" bringing strange contraptions in and out at all hours of the night? What are you, Islamophobic? Who's to say it's not the local distributor for Ahmed the Clock Boy's amusing new Allahrm Clock? If you see a man of Middle Eastern appearance bearing a ticking object, say something - and get sued for 15 million bucks.

Which is why the most lavishly funded government and media on the planet are seriously debating whether "climate change" leads to "workplace violence".

Because what else can you say?

Because climate change leads to desertification in the California desert which means at the county Christmas party everyone stands around saying in the old days before global warming we could have had a snowball fight, and then it all snowballs:

~Honey, I had a argument at the office. Can you put together a few dozen pipe bombs, get Go-Pros, body armor and assault rifles & meet in 15?

~Can we push it to 20? I'm fresh out of the shower. Can your mom take the baby?

President Obama says we have to pass more gun-control laws, because, as he said a couple of days ago, mass shootings only happen in America. He said this in Paris, so who says he's got no sense of humor? In sophisticated Continental countries like France and Belgium, only the government and the terrorists have guns. So, just to be on the safe side, Syed Farook was a terrorist who worked for the government - in environmental-health regulation. So, whether or not climate change leads to terrorism, apparently environmental regulation does.

"California man Syed Farook" had a government job with great benefits. His wife was a pharmacist. These is secure, well remunerated middle-class employment. But in the end they preferred killing people.

As I wearily say every time, all the stories are different, and yet they're all the same. Mr Farook turns out, like almost every other "lone wolf", to be a known wolf:

So he's in the system, with his name and phone number, with one degree of separation from terror suspects. But he still got to kill 14 people. Because no matter how massively you expand the panopticon Security State it can never have enough manpower to anticipate the moment a Syed Farook goes full Allahu Akbar. Because political correctness requires that we regard as just another part of the vibrant tapestry of diversity people who believe in everything ISIS believes in (sharia, female subservience, clitoridectomies, death for homosexuals) but stop short of chopping your head off. So we cannot stop them before they open fire.

 

(CNN)Syed Rizwan Farook -- who along with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, carried out the San Bernardino shooting massacre -- apparently was radicalized and in touch with people being investigated by the FBI for international terrorism, law enforcement officials said Thursday.

Farook himself had talked by phone and on social media with more than one person being investigated for terrorism, law enforcement officials said.

Mass Muslim immigration is imposing strains on western society that we cannot meet now, and we will be buried by in the years ahead. Perhaps if we could talk about that honestly we wouldn't be sideswiped by the next member of the Amalgamated Union of Lone Wolves who - all together now - "appeared to be living the American Dream".

Dream on... Because a moratorium on mass Muslim immigration is - all together now - "not who we are".

The real winners in the whole shindig:

 

 

 

Major defense contractors Raytheon, Oshkosh, and Lockheed Martin assured investors at a Credit Suisse conference in West Palm Beach this week that they stand to gain from the escalating conflicts in the Middle East.

 

 

Lockheed Martin Executive Vice President Bruce Tanner told the conference his company will see “indirect benefits” from the war in Syria, citing the Turkish military’s recent decision to shoot down a Russian warplane.

not running for office like Cruz, but nonetheless this is a truly disturbing trend. a 2nd repube making sense on ME policy ...



Rep. Dana Rohrabacher: 'Russia Should Be Applauded



Rohrabacher Statement on Turkey’s Clash with Russia



WASHINGTON – Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, and Emerging Threats, on Saturday issued the following statement concerning Turkey’s shooting down of a Russian jet fighter on the Turkey-Syria border:



It is imperative that American decision-makers admit to themselves and begin basing their decisions on the hard fact that Islamic terrorism poses the primary threat to our safety and the peace of the world.



Our president seems incapable of uttering the phrase Islamic terrorism, much less of overseeing a policy that will defeat this evil. His incoherence is ever more evident as events in Syria unfold.


Not radical Islam, but the Russians have been portrayed to us as the villains in this chapter of history. Yet our government demonstrates a lack of will, incompetence, or both, in confronting the most monstrous of the radical Islamic marauders now spilling vast quantities of innocent blood in the Middle East -- as well as in Africa and France.



When Russia courageously stepped into the breach we should have been applauding its willingness to confront ISIS. Instead, we continue to denigrate Russians as if they were still the Soviet Union and Putin, not Islamic terrorists, our most vicious enemy.



So now we see the travesty of a harsh condemnation of the Russians for introducing air strikes against terrorists who will murder Americans if they get the chance.


Yes, Russia does this to protect Syria’s authoritarian Assad regime, which has close ties to Moscow. So what?



Assad, like Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, is no threat to the United States or the Western world. If Assad is forced out of power he will eventually be replaced by an Islamic terrorist committed to raining down mayhem on Western countries.



Today we witness the spectacle of American decision- makers, in and out of the Obama administration, joining forces with a Turkish regime that grows more supportive of the radical Islamist movement. There is ample evidence of President Erdogan’s complicity in ISIS’s murderous rampage through Syria and Iraq.



Yet, we hold our public rebukes for the Russians, who are battling those terrorists. A Russian plane on an anti-terrorist mission did violate Turkish airspace, just as Turkish planes have strayed into Greek airspace hundreds of times over the last year. This overflight was no threat to Turkey. Still, it was shot down, as was a Russian helicopter on the way to rescue the downed Russian pilot.


Why do Americans feel compelled to kick Russia in the teeth? Russia’s military is attacking an enemy that would do us harm. Why ignore the hostile pro-terrorist maneuvering of Turkish strongman Erdogan?



President Obama is wrong. American politicians who try to sound tough at Russia’s expense in this case are not watching out for the long-term interests of the United States by undermining those fighting our primary enemy, Islamic terrorists.



Russia should be applauded. Instead, it is being castigated for doing what our government is unwilling to do to confront the terrorist offensive now butchering innocent human beings from Africa, to the Middle East, to the streets of Paris.



If being in NATO means protecting Erdogan in this situation, either he shouldn’t be in NATO or we shouldn’t.

Obama to deliver rare Oval Office address Sunday on terror threat

 

President Obama will discuss the San Bernardino, Calif., shootings and the broader threat of terrorism on Sunday night in a rare prime time address from the Oval Office.

 

The address at 8 p.m. will hit on the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS or ISIL) and how the terror threat has "evolved, and how we will defeat it," according to the White House.

 

"He will reiterate his firm conviction that ISIL will be destroyed and that the United States must draw upon our values – our unwavering commitment to justice, equality and freedom – to prevail over terrorist groups that use violence to advance a destructive ideology," the White House said in a statement Saturday night.

 

It is rare for the president to give a prime-time speech from the Oval Office, with Obama preferring instead to address the nation from the East Room.

 

He has made only two formal addresses from the Oval Office during his presidency, with the last one coming in 2010 to mark the end of combat troops in Iraq. (yeah,how did that work out)
