Saajid Lipham — Who wants these attacks to happen? Randy Fine?. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
This post says, I have to admit, these terror attacks have truly changed my mind about the Trump administration and ICE. I find myself wanting one million times more deportations than I did yesterday. This post perfectly demonstrates how a single event perpetrated by a single person can completely change the people's perception and support of their government. I'm not a bit conspiracy theorist, but if there's one thing we all should have learned from, I don't know, the Epstein files, is that there are a lot of liars that are willing to do the most heinous, unimaginable things in very high positions of power. Now, it's been reported that terror attacks at Michigan Synagogue and Virginia University rattle sense of safety in American communities. Now, I am in no way, shape, or form here to be little, the horrible things that happened yesterday. Such attacks are completely against Islam and such crimes need to be prevented and perpetrators need to face justice. But now that we've gotten that out of the way, there's a much deeper discussion to be had. Firstly, who benefits from these sorts of attacks? Because I'll tell you who doesn't, the Muslim community.
It can, however, benefit powers that be who want to garner support. Take Randy Fine, for example. He says the time for the expulsion of evil is here, fear of Islam is rational. After a day like today, we need to stop lying that it is not. And when we look closer at these two events that happened yesterday, the plot truly thickens. The shooting in Virginia was committed by a veteran and convicted ISIS supporter. Another CNN article says in 2016, he tried to procure weapons to be used in what he believed would be an attack committed in the name of ISIS. Unbeknownst to him, he had been speaking to an FBI source who was monitoring his behavior. When discussing the timeline for a possible attack on US soil, he expressed that it was better to plan an operation for Ramadan. This person was already set up by the FBI. So for him to actually carry it out yesterday, shows that such organizations entrusted with protecting US citizens, either severely lack competence. Or they actually are very competent, but allow or actually facilitate and want such attacks to happen to further the agenda of powers that be.
So it begs the question if yesterday's attacks of an individual killing one and injuring two justifies demonizing an entire group of people and entire religion. Then what does bombing a girl school justify? According to your same logic, when 175 killed most of them children, what does a genocide in Gaza justify? According to your logic, not mine? Even regarding the synagogue attack, the perpetrator was a Lebanese born US citizen who reportedly lost family members in an Israeli air strike in Lebanon. Oh, you didn't know? More than 630 people, at least 91 of them children have been killed in Lebanon in the past week, authorities say as the US is rarely war against Iran has engulfed the country. So unless you want to be good little disposable pawns for people like this, think objectively about what's really going on. Who's really being harmed in all this? And who's really the one's benefiting?
