Muslim males? What kind of column could this be? Maybe not a column, but some facts which were sent to me by a friend a couple of weeks ago. You digest them, and see if the facts may worry you, as they do me.
1. In 1968, Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male
2. In 1972, at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim males.
3. In 1972, a Pan Am 747 was hijacked and eventually diverted to Cairo, where a fuse was lit on final approach, and it was blown up shortly after landing, by Muslim males.
4. In 1973, a Pan Am 707 was destroyed in Rome, with 33 people killed, when it was attacked with grenades by Muslim Males.
5. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim males.
6. During the 1980’s, a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim males.
7. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim males.
8. In 1985, the cruise ship Achille Luro was hijacked at sea, and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim males.
9. In 1985, TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers, was murdered by Muslim males.
10. In 1998, Pan Am flight 103 was bombed by Muslim males.
11. In 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed by Muslim males. (I do not believe Muslim males did 9/11, but it is convenient for the US government to blame them).
12. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim males.
13. In 2002, reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by Muslim males.
14 . In 2013, the Boston Marathon was bombed by Muslim males.
Is this a trend? Are the above, an effort to smear Muslims, and the Muslim religion? Not by me. Maybe this type of ’profiling’ would indicate that 80 year old women, children, airline pilots, and for that matter, all women, and white males, should not be given work overs by the TSA, after they pass initial checks.
If anyone has a similar set of crimes committed by “Christian males,” or “Jewish males,” I’d be happy to list them in these columns.
In 1966, a famous person, wrote a lengthy article for Any Rand’s “Objectivist” newsletter, and I quote the last two paragraphs of this lengthy article. It was illegal to sell and own gold when this was written. Obviously, when owning gold was made legal a few years later, it was and is gold which protects savings.
“In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits into silver or copper, (which were legal to own then), or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power, and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists’ tirades against gold. Deficit spending, is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists’ antagonism toward the gold standard.”
This was written by Alan Greenspan, former head of the Federal Reserve, and who shed all logic and reason when he became its head. I wonder if the mess he created has sunk into his head yet, as he takes his daily bubble bath in his Georgetown Mans?
P.S. McCain and other bubble headed D.C. Senators, Congressmen, and of course the King of mistakes, Obama, are seriously trying to get us into another Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, or Afghanistan, only this time in Syria, being fought naturally, with Muslim males. The Syrian rebels’, and Assad’s quarrels, are merely Sunnis against Shiites, and neither Russia nor the US should get involved. Why can’t we mind our own business? Getting involved in Syria, is absurd. Obama has already, by Presidential decree, ( I can’t see how that is Constitutional), given the rebels over $500 million. Damn!
