One year ago this week, a radical Islamist terrorist, in solidarity with
the ISIS, walked into a bar in Orlando, Florida, and murdered 49 people.
During the course of the attack the monster was unambiguous about his
motives, telling the police outside exactly why he murdered those people,
and still the Obama administration labored over what the motive was. That
fight against reality continues to this day.
After the attack, under public pressure, the FBI released a partial
transcript of the communications between the monster and police, but they
removed all references to Islam and ISIS.
On the orders of then Attorney General Loretta Lynch, the transcript was
wiped clean of the terrorist's offending words and edited to read
absurd things like, My name is I pledge allegiance to [omitted].
Whoever could he have meant?
And when he said, Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon
the prophet of God [in Arabic], that must have left people scratching
their heads in wonder.
Flash forward to the one-year anniversary this week and the cleansing of
reality is complete. The Washington Post ran an article marking the day
that never mentions terrorism or radical Islam not once.
When the story first posted Monday, it actually mentioned Islam and
terrorism, though not in the text. When I first read it the video
embedded at the top of the piece had terrorist in the title, and the
accompanying caption under it mentioned Islam. By the time Id gotten
to work that day, however, it was changed and the offending words had
been removed.
Now the video is titled, Pulse nightclub owner speaks one year after
shooting.
The caption for the video now reads, Barbara Poma, the owner of the
Pulse nightclub in Orlando, spoke on June 12, one year after the shooting
that killed 49.
No mention of why.
Maybe they swapped out the video for a different one, I didnt think to
do a screen capture because who would think a major newspaper would go
that far to deny reality. But the title alone shows just how deep in that
denial the political left is.
Its called, A year ago, 49 people died at Pulse nightclub. Today,
Orlando remembers. How did those people die? Simultaneous heart attacks?
They didnt just die, they were murdered in a terrorist attack. But the
Post doesnt want their readers to remember that.
The Post writes, It had been a year since the deadliest mass shooting in
modern U.S. history stole 49 lives
They call it a mass shooting because, if you remember, Democrats were
desperate to make the slaughter about guns and not terrorism. Truth be
damned, the agenda must be served. Even if its on the bodies of the
murdered.
The New York Times, unsurprisingly, was no better. They ran an op-ed
using the attack to blame President Donald Trump and conservative views
from a college professor (as rare as a unicorn these days) for making
marginalized people into victims yet again by violating their safe
spaces.
Its a bit of self-appointed victim-porn that has become all the rage of
the political left in recent years. The Democratic Party has made
victimhood into something to aspire to among their adherents.
A rash of faked hate-crimes, many of which were reported to authorities
by the perpetrators, allowing them to play the victim publicly and
receive the sympathies, and often times money, from fellow liberals so
convinced the United States is an awful place they need to assuage their
guilt through the penance of giving money to frauds.
Its a sickness, a syndrome, and a delusion that serves to reinforce
liberal orthodoxy and drive more social justice warriors to commit more
fraud. Since the media gleefully covers the original, narrative-
reinforcing story of hate, while sweeping most corrections to the
graveyard of inside the paper days or weeks later, this trend will
continue.
Theres no reason for this trend not to continue. Democrats benefit from
it. They gain by denying reality.
Are there awful people in the country? Or course there are. In a nation
of 330 million people there are going to be all flavors of terrible
monsters. Pretending theyre the norm and not the anomaly only serves to
aid the left and manipulate the weak-minded.
Democrats are attempting to wipe clean the recent history of terrorism
just like theyre trying to do with their history of racism and devotion
to slavery by removing statues across the country, and this history of
eugenics by simply denying it existed.
This strategy hasnt culminated in much electoral success of late for
Democrats, but they seem bent on tossing endless verbal fertilizer on
the seeds of division theyve sown in the hopes of its bearing fruit.
Time will tell.
Until that time, we can expect more denials of reality and more pieces of
history to be dipped into the acid bath of the liberal mind in the hopes
of eating away the inconvenient parts.
