High extremists say Trump inspired them to plan terrorist attacks

A recognized terrorist underlines Trump as a fool of violence. But the US president refuses to assume responsibility for his theory of hate. Rakel Chukri analysis of the United States increasingly fragmented where the Liberals are likely to suffer another loss.

Monday, there was something striking in the United States. Lawyers who defend Patrick Stein, a paramount extremist who planned massacres against Muslims, lamented President Donald Trump and told him that he would receive a reduced sentence.

To understand why we have to go back to early 2016. At that time, it was widely acknowledged that Trump wanted to stop all Muslims at the border. He was not interested in distinguishing between Muslims and jihadists. No Muslim would be released in the United States at the end of time.

In February 2016, in front of a large audience in South Carolina, he went even further.

With admiration in his voice, he recounted how General John J. Pershing treated the terrorists in the Philippine-American War at the turn of the century. Pershing ordered that fifty prisoners be liquidated. He dipped fifty bullets in pork blood and asked his men to load the rifles. All prisoners except one shot. Pershing turned to the client and said, "Go back to your people and tell me what happened here." Then it was calm for 25 years, noted Trump.

He did not say explicitly that it was about Muslims, it was implied. He also did not care to celebrate extrajudicial executions. Trump – who lived in New York when the comrades of his generation were killed and killed in the Vietnam War – wanted to see himself as a difficult thing.

"We have to be vigilant and use our heads," he told the South Carolina public, "otherwise we will not have more countries".

Historians have dismissed the racist history of Pershing's "bravado" as a shadow, which has not prevented Trump from repeating it manually before and after his appointment as president. True or not, in February 2016, Muslim organizations in the United States understood how the anecdote would be perceived: Trump was no longer happy to spread hate. He has now openly called for violence.

Two months later, the FBI received a phone call in Kansas, where right-wing journalist Patrick Stein spoke of the killing of Muslims. Among other things, he wanted to shoot them with bullets dipped in pork blood.

Was Stein a devoted fan of the trumpet? Yes.

In collaboration with two other right-wing extremists, Stein planned two bomb attacks on a mosque and rent for Somali refugees. Trion, called the "Crusaders", was convinced that Muslims should be extinguished to save the United States. The men were arrested and sentenced. The sentence will be announced at the end of November.
In 2016, the number of reported hate crimes increased in the United States – Jews and Muslims were particularly vulnerable. But is it reasonable to place some of the debt for Patrick St Patrick's terrorist plans on Trump? Yes, his lawyers responded that they were fervently trying to save Stein from life imprisonment (they suggest he bury him for up to fifteen years).

In a letter, they ask the court to weigh, during the presidential election, the most "violent, terrible, hateful and contradictory election of modern history", largely motivated by "l & rsquo; Elephant from the porcelain store, who became our president ".

The lawyers explained that Trump 's verbal attacks were aimed at all those who followed the election, but especially those like Patrick Stein, so white voters of the working class who had felt ignored until after the election. at the appearance of Trump.

The document is a fascinating read. But it contains a logical error. The attorneys claim that the bond between Stein and Trump was so "complete and prolonged" that he would have ended his plans for massacre after the elections. The victory of the Trumps meant that Stein's "sense of losing the battle" was no longer valid and that white voters did not have to worry about the country's bankruptcy. The "conspiracy" of the drummer's hangover, which is the word used by lawyers, would be refuted if Obama passed power to Trump.

If you ignore the fact – the fact that lawyers are abandoning the principle of responsibility of all individuals – the problem is also that the hate message has not been stopped or mitigated when Trump became president.

Before the mid-year elections, Trump threatens to send 15,000 troops to the southern border, nearly as many soldiers fighting jihadists in Afghanistan, to stop the caravan of refugees who were marching slowly north of the country. Honduras. They steal violence and poverty, but Trump describes them as an "invasion". According to Trump, the caravan is funded by businessman George Soros. Then, one of the oldest anti-Semitic myths – the Jews destabilize the nation – is accepted with the seal of the White House.

The fall of the three Kansas's self-styled crusaders have not been particularly notable in American empires. But this is an example of the debate that has been going on since Trump announced his candidacy for the presidency in 2015. How dangerous is Trump? And to what extent is he responsible for hate crime?

In 2011, Trump joined the conspiracy theory that Barack Obama was not born in the United States. The businessman became a frequent guest in the high profile media, where he suggested that Obama was a sneaker, or even an adventurer of jewelry.

In the book "Trumpocracy", conservative debater David Frum (who coined the phrase "The powers of the evil shoulder") claims that, despite everything, Donald Trump did not invent the strange "Baker's theory". US policy has long been evolving into extremism, instability and suspicion between blocks. Part of that, he blames Barack Obama.

In 2010, when the young president was criticized for his mediocre political results, he replied, "I am president, I am not king." The belief has given up the end of the White House when Obama has more and more rounded Congress by making presidential orders.

However, David Frum is the toughest man against his own party, become the nest of extremists. He concludes that Republican politicians had every chance to challenge the theory of poisoned hacking themselves, but that they were terrified of falling on voters.

The result? Only one in four registered republic agreed that Obama was born in the United States. Such a denial of the Americanism of the incumbent president had not been seen since the Civil War – even at the time, Frum writes. The signal from the Conservatives was clear. The identity and institutions of the country belong only to those who are alike.

Trump had to start as an opportunist who copied and reinforced Republican rhetoric, but today, it is he who forms the party and not the opposite.

The hope that "The axial power of adults" spreads to the White House has long since disappeared. The neoconservative David Frum – who despises Trump so much that he voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 – has long warned that Trump represented a historically unique threat to American democracy: "Trump betrayed Americans who despised the differences by some. compared to others, more than they are worth … common democracy. "He combed through the big win.

Those who were already worried about what Trump can provide will want to hide under the bed after reading "Fear".

"What we must fear in Trump's presidency," writes Frum, "is that he invades violence to radicalize his followers." Trump has become a human bridge between racist conspiracy sites and mainstream politics. He retrieves sources of inspiration and information on sites claiming that the United States is facing civil war and that the country is threatened by Muslims and controlled by Jews.

Suddenly right-wing extremists and fools have access to the world's largest megaphone. The shadow life is over, their views are exhausted in the live broadcast. Muslims must be slaughtered with bullets dipped in pork blood. Rich Jews finance an invasion of the southern border of the country. The media is the enemy of the people.

Last week, everything was at stake when homemade bombs were sent on a long list of Trump's hate items: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, CNN's television channel, the former head of the CIA John Brennan, former national intelligence chief James Clapper and businessman George Soros, to name a few. .

The attacker turned out to be a fanatical fan of Trump Florida, Cesar Sayoc, but the president dismissed the link and blamed the company's anger on the liars. On Twitter, he placed the word "bomb" in quotation marks, as if the fact of not having hurt anyone had bombed the bombs as if by magic. Trump also suggested that he believed that left-wing supporters were lying behind the bombs to influence the mid-election election of November 6.

No empathy for the victims that he did not show – Trump did not want to break his hatred against Hillary & Co simply because they had sent "bombs" " at home. He's hooked to the picture of the absolute enemy. An article from the Total Defense Research Institute titled "The White Hate" describes the consequences of such behavior: "The imagination of the threats of a stereotyped and weakened enemy destroys the moral barrier that prevents us from" 39, using systematized violence against human beings, it will not only be justified, but morally invoked, to resort to violence. "
The debate on Trump's responsibility the gap between the political blocs in the United States. Several conservatives launched the attack in October 2017, when a Bernie Sanders supporter shot a group of Republicans playing baseball. We did not blame my idiot at Sanders, that's calling. The author, Marc Thiessen, wrote Tuesday in the Washington Post that the Democrats had strongly contributed to the overturned tone: "If they think the Americans have chosen Frankenstein's monster, they are Dr. Frankenstein," he explained. opponents as dangerous right-wing extremists.

Whoever has followed Fox News over the years Obama also knows that conservative debates constantly accuse the president of raiding the racist opposition in the country by radically criticizing white policemen and speaking of structural racism. Much of the left regarded Obama as a dove of peace, while many of the right saw him as a dangerous instigator trying to unleash a new civil war.

Of course, what I mean is not that both sides are equally good in bowls, but Those who want to understand why the debate in the United States is so invaded should know the arguments of the Conservatives. The strong polarization largely explains why so many Republicans reject Trump's responsibility for homemade bombs and the attack last weekend on the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh.

Their denial is particularly dangerous with regard to the Pittsburgh Massacre, as it can lead to further attacks against Jews. Lawyer Robert Bowers is certainly not a supporter of the president, but anti-Semitism has appeared in Trump's message from the beginning.

During the election campaign, he defeated an anti-Semitic image that linked Hillary Clinton's "corruption" to a Star of David and dollar bills. His latest commercials criticized "global special interests" and featured images of several American Jews. One of them was the businessman George Soros.

The Soros family found how much Trump's hatred had increased sharply in 2016. Until then, anti-Jewish conspiracy theories were prevalent in the darker wars of the Internet. The poison has now spread to millions of Americans. Although members of the Ku Klux Klan and other anti-Semites have been gathered at Trump, he refuses to acknowledge any correlation.

In August 2017, it was once and for all determined that Trump was refusing to speak out against racism. After the neo-Nazis marched in Charlottesville and shouted "The Jews will not replace us", Trump has long claimed that there were also a lot of "nice people". He repeated that even the other party – the anti-racists – had been violent. According to journalist Bob Woodward, this opinion was collected by a senior editor of Fox News.

It's totally impossible to remove Trump, says Woodward in his new book "Fear – Trump in the White House". The old Watergate reporter interviewed the president's closest men for hundreds of hours and described the civil war raging in the White House. Those who were already worried about what Trump can provide will want to hide under the bed after reading "Fear". It is revealed, among other things, that the president's men were stealing documents from the oval hall, fearing that Trump would grab his signature and crush the US economy or start a war.

Trump may not light the fire himself, but he will be happy to provide the matches.

But one of the most unpleasant episodes concerns the consequences of Charlottesville. The teenage daughter of Gary Cohn, who was then Economic Counselor at the White House, suddenly discovered a hacker on his doorstep. Cohn prayed and asked his boss to understand the seriousness, but as a child victim of bullying, Trump responded that he had done nothing wrong.

In the end, the president was forced to make a sensible statement about the importance of the clash between KKK and Nynazister. But when Fox News discovered that the president had made up his mind, he went crazy and shouted to his colleagues: "It was the biggest mistake I made. […] You should never excuse yourself. I did not even do anything wrong. Why look weak? "

Trump seemed to be more racist than perceived as "politically correct" or weak.

On October 27, 2018, just hours after the most bloody antisemitic attack in US history, Trump spoke to a large audience in Indianapolis: was attending a very unfortunate press conference today, "he explained, explaining that he was standing out in the wind and that it was raining and answered questions about it. attack against the tree of life in Pittsburgh. The fact was that his strange hair had been broken. He continued, "Maybe I should organize this event because I have a bad day of hairdressing.

Some may have seen this as a scandalous joke.

For others, the signal was clear. The Pittsburgh Massacre was not a national tragedy.

Trump may not light the fire himself, but he will be happy to provide the matches. It is therefore not surprising that many speakers describe the upcoming mid-term elections as a referendum on the president. David Remnick, editor-in-chief of New Yorker magazine, writes that the election is a clash between the main constituents of Trump and those who want to prevent its dissolution of the United States.

Remnick has completely lost confidence in Trump's main constituency. It is not difficult to understand why, but the conclusion can have devastating consequences.

Two years have passed since the degrading loss of Hillary Clinton, although Democratic political depression has not passed. They are in foster care and are waiting for the special investigator of the Russian investigator Robert Mueller to save them from the monster.

The Democrats' polls for Tuesday's elections are interesting in their own way, but they should be radically much better considering Trump's catastrophic efforts.

With few exceptions, the Democratic Party lacks strong candidates with national vitality. No serious analysis of the loss was made, nor was an agreement between the left and right sides of the party. Liberal debaters spend their time on television and struggle because they do not know what big questions the party wants to ask. A political agenda, however, can not consist of a single point: we hate Trump.

Hillary Clinton made an interesting observation in the book "What Happened" appeared in September 2017. She pointed out that Trump voters were not at all against big government. He had pledged investments in infrastructure, cheaper health care for all, more difficult on Wall Street and, above all, a more decent life for the middle class and the middle class. Few issues that Republicans have generally pushed in recent years. David Frum notes the same thing in "Trumpocracy".

Trump certainly gave up on his promise when he entered the White House, but his victory showed that voters wanted to break the status quo Hillary Clinton was a junior candidate in so many ways – she represented the old political dynasty at a time when Americans were demanding innovation – but his biggest mistake was not to present clear and ideological jurisprudence. Towards the end of the campaign, she focused on Trump's weaknesses. Europe's duty is that it favors only the right-wing population.

It is therefore unlikely that Trump will be re-elected by 2020", Says liberal author Van Jones in the book" Beyond the Hidden Truth ", because the Democrats are more likely to blame the electoral loss on the Russians and former FBI director James Comey. to a review of their own shortcomings. Jones, who is involved in many popular organizations and runs CNN's The Van Jones show, delivers a drug spell to his party mates: you're disappointed that Republican voters are forgiving everything to Trump, but you're not. You did not protest very strongly when Obama caught whistleblowers, stepped up sewer attacks in the Middle East or deported more migrants than any other president.

January 21, 2017. Van Jones talks about the Women's March Rally in Washington DC. In the book "Beyond the Messy Truth", he urges the Democrats to change their strategy if they do not want Donald Trump to be re-elected to the 2020 presidency.picture: Jose Luis Magana

Van Jones's cure is vast. After the battle between Bernie's supporters and Hillary, start wounding the wounds, then accept the progressive proposals. The dystopia of assets can only be overcome by attractive proposals that a majority can accept. Increases in average wages, alteration of drug epidemics, prison reforms and upheaval of the financial system that led to the financial crisis.

In the night, Van Jones offers stubborn hope: the Conservatives should be worried that so many white nationalists are Trump voters, but the Liberals must understand that not all Trump voters are nationalists. Only then will the Democrats win, if not the elections on Tuesday, at least the presidential election of 2020.
