Do you still believe it's impossible for a black person to be racist?

"Demented, Individual" Dallas Shooter Linked To Leftist Revolution Groups, Nation Of Islam?

Jul 10, 2016 12:26 PM






Having carefully crafted the narrative that the black, former military Dallas shooter was a "demented individual... who just happened to have too easy access to guns," it appears President Obama's fiction-peddling may have run afoul of some 'facts' that show Micah Johnson had ties to and sympathies for the Nation of Islam, the Black Panthers, and the radical African American Defense League.

AmericanThinker.com's Mark Hanna explains that thus far, the Dallas police have said only that Johnson "wanted to kill white people" and confirmed that an arsenal of weapons and bomb-making equipment was discovered at his home. Social media sources indicate that there may have been coordination in his murderous rampage to kill whites, which could have been "a well-planned, well-thought-out, evil tragedy," as described by the city's police chief, David Brown.

Apparently, Micah Johnson had a Facebook page that has been taken down. Several groups captured images from his page prior to Facebook closing it.

One of the images shows Micah Johnson with Professor Griff of the revolutionary rap band Public Enemy. Since the late 1980s, Professor Griff has been known as Public Enemy's "Minister of Information," espousing a philosophy drawn largely from the ideology of Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.

USA Today is also reporting that Johnson's Facebook account also identified him as Fahed Hassen. But in the same article, USA Today also published a false report that Johnson identifies himself as Professor Griff. They said police indicated that Johnson, as Griffin, authored a book titled A Warrior's Tapestry. But it is Professor Griff of Public Enemy who authored the work.



On Twitter, Griff denied "knowing" Johnson and said, "I do not advocate killing cops" following the Dallas shootings.



In an interview conducted July 7, the day of the shooting in Dallas, Griff advocated for his community to buy guns and join gun clubs, but then counseled:



[T]his is no declaration against police officers for people to go out and shoot police officers. Don't take this the wrong way. I didn't say that. We need to join gun clubs like everyone else[.] … [E]veryone needs to have a rifle, everyone needs to have a handgun, and everyone needs to have at least a 12 gauge or 20 gauge Mossberg to defend themselves against most of the people[.] … [T]hey are not going to protect us.

According to Independent Journal, which screen-captured Micah Johnson's Facebook page prior to it being taken down, Johnson's association with the Black Panther Party comes from his joining the Mississippi chapter on Facebook.

Additionally, Johnson had liked the Dallas, Arlington, and Ft. Worth Police Departments on his Facebook page, as well as the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department, headed by Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Phoenix, Arizona.

Like Dallas, Phoenix had a significant Black Lives Matter-sponsored protest on July 8, the day of the Dallas shooting. Lasting until the early hours of the morning on July 9, the Phoenix protest turned violent, with rock-throwing and police using pepper spray.

Independent Journal also reportedly discovered several postings related to the African American Defense League (AADL), a radical leftist revolutionary group that openly advocates killing police officers.

The AADL was founded by Dr. Mauricelm-Lei Millere, who also calls himself "Lead Advi­sor at Black Rid­ers Lib­er­a­tion Party, Lead Advi­sor and Lia­son [sic] at Black Pan­ther Party and Lead Advi­sor and Lia­son [sic] at New Black Pan­ther Party." He unapologetically advocates violence and warfare against the police and whites.



It is not enough to discontinue the sell and use of capital confederate/rebel flags, over Southern Capitol Buildings or online. We must not be lost enmasse [sic] through marching black nationalist but we must actively kill those who are killing us, white racist and otherwise. Shall we forget that nine black people we murdered, in church, by a young white racist facist [sic]. So much deaths of our people past, present, and future. The race war is now but you grope in the day as though in the night!

On AADL's Facebook page, the main image is a man holding a gun with the background image of an arsenal of semiautomatic rifles.



On the page, Millere wrote:



The white­man wants your blood! How many of us has he killed and enslaved? Trillions!…We need the action that makes them pay atten­tion. An eye for an eye phi­los­o­phy! Arm your­self in Fer­gu­son, Mis­souri and across Amer­ica! A life for a life!" He con­tin­ued, "Also, we must go to their com­fort­able neigh­bor­hoods and raid those stores. It is time to LOOT & BURN those stores…

Ominously, just a few hours after the Dallas shooting, the page showed his quote: "As you fight, remember that the FIREMAN and the POLICE are on the SAME SIDE! Don't be fooled!"

Democratic strategist: I’m voting for Donald Trump

Original Article


Democratic strategist Dave “Mudcat” Saunders, who’s helped guide politicians such as Sen. Mark Warner and former Sen. Jim Webb to victory in Virginia, says he’s voting for presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump over likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. “I don’t know about polls, but I do know this: I voted for Bernie in the primary and I’m voting for Trump in the general,” Mr. Saunders, who is based in the Roanoke, Virginia, area, told The Washington Times Friday. “I’m an economic populist,” Mr. Saunders said. “I’m in an area that is completely devastated by Clinton trade policies, repeal of Glass-Steagall, and

I thought O was a Peace Laureate? Why does he want to stay in Afghanistan…forever?

SOURCE: PRESS TV

NATO says it is “ready to stay” in Afghanistan, reiterating a pledge on funding for local security forces.

“What we have seen is we are committed and we are ready to stay,” NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Saturday, highlighting the funding pledge through 2020.

Stoltenberg could not say, however, when NATO’s military engagement in Afghanistan might end.

“There’s no reason to speculate exactly on how long it will continue,” he said, adding that NATO member states would examine the situation again next year.

Under the leadership of the United States, the 28-nation Western military alliance invaded Afghanistan in 2001, starting a war that has killed thousands and cost tens of billions of dollars. The military engagement was meant to obliterate the Taliban, but the militant group has managed to gain more footholds across the country over the past years, and local security forces still struggle to contain the group and other militants, including al-Qaeda and the Takfiri Daesh terrorists.

Stoltenberg said NATO will maintain troops in Afghanistan through 2017 under its train and advise Resolute Support Mission. He did not provide numbers but said the overall NATO force in Afghanistan would be “around the same” as now. Resolute Support currently has about 13,000 troops in Afghanistan.

Washington, the main provider of troops and funding to NATO in Afghanistan, has also backed down on its previous pledges to reduce the number of troops in the country, arguing that Kabul has been quite slow in reforming its military, which the United States claims is gripped by corruption and human rights issues.

US President Barack Obama had previously vowed to slash troop numbers from the current 9,800 to 5,500 by the end of this year. However, he announced on July 6 that the process will draw down and the US would keep 8,400 US troops in Afghanistan.
