"Pittsburgh Rabbi Told Trump That Hate Speech Led To Synagogue Massacre"

Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view. Image result for Poway Synagogue Shooting Suspect's Parents Call Him "Evil"Synagogue Shooting Suspect Was A Piano Playing Nursing Student From Religious Family With A Racist Secret
The 19-year-old was the son of a devout church elder, a high school overachiever, and a piano player who went on to shoot up a suburban San Diego synagogue.
POWAY, California—Nineteen-year-old nursing student John T. Earnest, who was charged with murder Sunday as the lone gunman in the deadly Poway Synagogue shooting, played piano for hours a day and earned a 4.31 grade point average. His father was a church elder whom neighbors called “the sweetest man.”

But somewhere on his path, Earnest took a terrible turn, claiming Adolf Hitler as an idol and writing what appears to be his own rambling manifesto that Jews “deserved nothing but hell.” He wanted to be the one to, as he put it, “Send. Them. There.”
Police say someone purporting to be him posted the anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, white supremacist “manifesto”—which eerily mirrored the Q&A style that Christchurch terrorist Brenton Tarrant used in his own pre-massacre diatribe—about 20 minutes before he walked into the Poway synagogue with an AR-15 style assault rifle and started shooting—killing one woman and injuring three others—before the gun malfunctioned and he was chased out by an armed security guard.




Earnest was arrested by police a few minutes after the shooting as he fled, called 911, and told them where to find him off an exit on a California highway, authorities said. As an officer approached, he exited his vehicle, raised his hands, and surrendered. A rifle was recovered from the car. He is scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday on one count of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted first-degree murder, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.
In his online posting, Earnest championed the likes of Robert Bowers, who fatally shot 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue shootings in Pittsburgh six months ago, Tarrant, who killed 50 people in a New Zealand mosque in March; and Hitler.
He used mainstream social media like Twitter and the fringe message boards 8Chan in what has become a proven way for terrorist groups and lone wolves alike to ensure that propaganda is disseminated to both those looking for it and those who are not. He posted the original screed on Pastebin.com and Mediafire.com, and linked to them on 8Chan. Like Tarrant, he promised to live-stream his killing spree, which he evidently failed to pull off. Facebook immediately removed the profile link he intended to use, but had somehow not seen the warning signs when he created the page.
Sheriff William Gore of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department said during a press conference late Sunday that authorities were carrying out searches in the suspect’s home and “looking into digital evidence and checking the authenticity of an online manifesto.”
If it is validated as authentic, the student, who was previously unknown to police, found footing in the usual tenets of hate and the now all-too-familiar desire for infamy.


Zach Keele, pastor of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, where Earnest’s father was an elder, or officer of the church, confirmed that he was part of the parish. “So John T. Earnest is a member here,” he told The Daily Beast. “We completely deplore what he did. That is not part of our practices, our teachings in any way. Our hearts, our prayers, our tears go out to the victims, to all those wonderful neighbors at the synagogue.”
Keele said Earnest had never appeared to be the sort of person who would carry out this sort of an attack. “This is a complete surprise,” he said.
In a service at the church on Sunday, Keele delivered a sermon on betrayal and forgiveness, offering condolences to the victims–but also to Earnest’s family.
“We pray, Lord, for those who are hurting, and we pray for the victims of that synagogue,” Keele told the crowd of 50 or so parishioners. “We deeply mourn that this evil came out from us. We do not understand it, oh Lord, and we pray that you would forgive us for any such shortcoming, for any good deeds we left undone. We pray, Lord, that you will be with the Earnest family.”

San Diego Synagogue Shooting Suspect Charged With Murder



Speaking to his congregation after the service, Keele said he had spoken with Earnest’s parents the night before. They had spent the night huddled in their other son’s apartment close to the beach while their own house was searched by SWAT teams, he said. Earnest’s father plans to release a statement Monday morning through an attorney. “It’s a good statement,” Keele said. “They have good family support.”
The minister added that Earnest must “suffer the full punishment of the law.” Still, he hopes he will “recant his hatred.” Keele plans to visit the young man in prison, if convicted, he said.
After the service, Gerrit Groenewold, a board member at the Orthodox Presbyterian Church who happens to be the father of the girlfriend of one of Earnest’s brothers, told The Daily Beast that he had noticed Earnest had seemed quiet, and often tried to reach out to the young man, but with little luck. “I have tried to talk to John several times, but he is very silent and very reclusive. I noticed that he was quiet and just wanted to have contact... The other [members of his family] are not nearly as quiet,” he said. “It’s not good if someone is that quiet. He needs to be part of the community, to let them know what is going on.”
Earnest also claimed responsibility for an attempted arson attack last monthon Dar-ul-Arqam Mosque in Escondido, about nine miles from Poway, Security cameras at the mosque caught a suspect breaking a lock and pouring liquid on a side door but had failed to identify the person. Gore said investigators are now looking his “possible involvement in the arson and vandalism of mosque.”
In a comment that was left after the synagogue shooting, someone asks, “How does a child of such privilege go so horribly wrong? Where does this hatred come from?”
Late Saturday afternoon, California State University San Marcos president Karen S. Haynes confirmed that Earnest had been enrolled at the its nursing school.
“We are dismayed and disheartened that the alleged shooter—now in custody—is a CSUSM student. CSUSM is working collaboratively with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department to assist and gain more information,” Haynes said in a statement. “We are heartbroken by this tragedy, which was motivated by hate and anti-Semitism.”
A man who identified himself as Earnest’s grandfather expressed shock at his grandson’s role in the deadly shooting on Saturday.
“He did what?” the man told The Daily Beast when reached by phone. “That is out of whack. My heart is sinking into my chest. I’m going to hang up now.”


By Saturday evening, police had barricaded the streets leading to the cul-de-sac in Rancho Peñasquitos, a hilly, middle-class suburb of San Diego about seven miles from the synagogue where Earnest lives with his family. More than three dozen law enforcement officers, including FBI agents, ATF agents, and cops, were at the scene. Eyewitnesses told The Daily Beast that the family left their home under police escort hours earlier.  
Around 9 p.m. local time, law enforcement had secured a search warrant to enter Earnest’s house, which may well confirm the authenticity of his hate-filled screed and could possibly uncover how far he was willing to act on his hate.

  • Alan Archibald Bernie and Warren have great credentials! As of the moment, however, I still think Biden-Harris is the most winnable ticket.

    Voltaire is well-known for his insight "The best is enemy of the good." 

    In the upcoming election, I define "The Good" as electability.

    In the last presidential cycle I donated multiple times to Bernie's campaign and have great admiration for the man.

    But his avowed (democratic) socialism - which I also admire - is perfectly suited for demolition by the Republican Noise Machine. 

    As George Carlin noted: https://imgur.com/gallery/Q6bov64 

    Everyday people warm to Joe. And it is in his bones to relate to "the common man." 

    It is useful to recall the Adlai Stevenson supporter who called out: "Mr. Stevenson, every thinking American is behind you!" 

    To which Adlai replied, "Yes Madam. But we need a majority." 

    I am imbued with enough "ironic distance" to understand that it may be time for the American Empire to collapse. The long arc of justice may even require collapse. 

    But it is also true that former empires -- Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, England, Holland, Germany -- tend to become remarkably convivial places to live. 

    Even so, I still believe -- or would like to believe -- that the United States is (in Lincoln's words) "the last, best hope of earth."

    Therefore -- in keeping with my core political conviction that a citizen's fundamental responsibility is to keep mad men (and mad women) out of office -- I approach 2020 with a completely pragmatic view: By my lights, Biden-Harris is the best-suited ticket to wrest power from the solipsist-maniac whose re-election will sound the death knell for Lincoln's hope.

Snopes: Did Trump Incite Violence At His Rallies?

Reprise: Must-See Video Mash-Up Of Trump's Violent Racism

"Pittsburgh Rabbi Told Trump That Hate Speech Led To Synagogue Massacre"

"Part of the problem ... is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore."

Demonstrators interrupted a Trump rally in St. Louis, Missouri, Friday. As they were being escorted out of the venue, the candidate bemoaned the fact that there were no longer "consequences" to protesting and insisted the "country has to toughen up."
“You know, part of the problem and part of the reason it takes so long is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore, right?" he explained. His remarks are heard just after the seven-minute mark in the video above.
Outside the event, people screamed profanity and anti-Muslim rhetoric at each other while a bloodied protester was given medical treatment. Thirty two people were arrested.

"The audience hit back. That's what we need a little bit more of."

At a press conference in Florida earlier on Friday, Trump was asked about his rhetoric in the wake of an incident in which a supporter at a rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina, sucker-punched a black man in the face.
While he wasn't asked about that specific altercation, Trump said of violent behavior in general at his events: "The audience hit back and that's what we need a little bit more of." 
He also praised people using physical force at his rallies as "appropriate."
On NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, Trump said he would have his team look into paying the legal fees of 78-year-old John McGraw, who was charged with assault and disorderly conduct after attacking the protester.

"In the good old days this doesn't happen because they used to treat them very, very rough."

As protesters were being escorted out of the rally in Fayetteville on Wednesday, Trump told the crowd that the protesters were not being treated poorly enough. 
“They used to treat them very, very rough, and when they protested once, they would not do it again so easily,” he said, before lamenting "we've become weak."

"Try not to hurt him. If you do, I'll defend you in court, don't worry about it."

At a rally in Michigan in early March, Trump again seemed to give the green light to violent behavior. As a protester was being escorted out of the building, Trump marveled at what a "fun time" everyone was having.
"Get him out," he then said. "Try not to hurt him. If you do, I'll defend you in court, don't worry about it."
He then told an anecdote about a brawl at a prior rally that was "amazing to watch."

"I'd like to punch him in the face."

At a Las Vegas rally in late February, as a protester was again being removed from the premises, Trump lamented that "we're not allowed to punch back anymore" and reminisced about the halcyon "old days," when a protester would "be carried out on a stretcher."
The crowd is delighted, cheering, clapping and laughing.
He then said he'd like to punch the man in the face, again to cheers.

"Knock the crap out of them."


After a protester threw a tomato at Trump at a previous event, he encouraged fighting at a later campaign stop in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in early February.
"If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously." He again promised to pay for any legal fees associated with an assault.

"Maybe he should have been roughed up."


After a Black Lives Matter activist was kicked, punched and, he said, called the N-word at a campaign event in Birmingham, Alabama, in November, Trump expressed his approval.
"Maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing," the now frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination told Fox & Friends the next day.
Trump said the man deserved the treatment because he had been "very obnoxious" and "so loud." The remarks can be heard just after the 11-minute mark in the video above.

"I don’t know if I’ll do the fighting myself or if other people will."

Black Lives Matter activists took over a Bernie Sanders campaign event in Seattle in August, asking for a moment of silence for Michael Brown, the teenager who was killed by a policeman in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. Trump was asked how he would respond to a similar situation. 
The candidate was defiant, and curious about who would get into a physical altercation when faced with protesters — him or his supporters. 
That much, now, is clear.
This post has been updated with the addition of Trump's comments at Friday's St. Louis rally, Saturday's Kansas City rally and Sunday's interview on Meet the Press. 
On Aug. 9, Trump made comments at a North Carolina rally suggesting "Second Amendment people" could take action against Hillary Clinton if she were elected. Trump later insisted he was referring to their voting power, not inciting violence. More here.

Paradoxically, Where Abortion Is Outlawed, The Abortion Rate Tends To Be Higher

Clik here to view. Paradoxically, Those Societies With Legal Abortion Have Lower Abortion Rates. And Where Abortion Is Legal, Rates Are Coming Down. In The U.S | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
Inconvenient Truths

1.) Where Pro-Life advocacy is strongest, abortion rates are highest - often astronomically higher. (These waters are muddied because there is little trustworthy record-keeping in those countries where back alley abortions are the norm. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/05/the-many-countries-where-abortion-still-banned/)

2.) What we do know in developed countries where record-keeping is best is that abortion rates are significantly lower than in underdeveloped countries and rates continue on their downward trajectory. https://www.usnews.com/news/data-mine/articles/2018-03-21/abortion-rates-where-and-why-theyre-falling

2-A) In the United States, the abortion rate is now lower than it was before Roe v. Wade legalized abortion -- and the rate is still declining. 

Then there is this bedrock -- and often unmentioned -- fact.

Abortion will not "go away" even if it's outlawed. 

The unspoken assumption that abortion will come to an end (or even decline) once it's outlawed is no different than any other form of moral prohibition.

Consider.

If God's own "Ten Commandments" have no traction -- and they certainly have none in Donald Trump's personal life -- there is no reason to believe "the root of all evil" will disappear just because "God says so."

St. Paul The Apostle Comments On Trump's Greed

Alan: I keep publishing the above memes along with St. Paul's commentary on greed, begging "conservatives" -- particularly Christian conservatives -- to explain away Trump's lifelong loving dedication to "the root of all evil" and not one person has even made the attempt.
I promise you this: I will append to this blog post any -- and every -- exculpatory explanation of how Trump can remain a virtuous person despite his avowed commitment to "the root of all evil."

Note well:

In societies with 1.) safe, legal abortion, 2.) shameless access to afforable contraception, and 3.) universal sex education, abortion rates are routinely low - and often in process of coming down even farther. 

On the other hand, in cultures where 1.) abortion is illegal, 2.) contraception is hard to secure and 3.) sex education is not publicly financed, abortion rates are not declining and are - according to "best information" are about 9% higher than in societies with 1.) safe, legal abortion, 2.) shameless access to afforable contraception, and 3.) universal sex education. 

And so, if you want to guarantee higher rates of abortion with no decline in those rates, first make abortion illegal; then make contraception difficult and, finally, eliminate publicly financed sex education.

It is also an inconvenient truth that those countries where abortion is proscribed altogether -- or available only to save the mother's life or to preserve her health -- tend to be what Donald Trump refers to as "shithole countries." https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/05/the-many-countries-where-abortion-still-banned/

And finally in the two memes above -- St. Paul and The Deplorable One -- note that "conservative" Christians are most vituperative on issues relating to sexual and reproductive morality because no real effort is required for smarmy judgmentalists to proclaim their opposition to behaviors they personally abhor, and -- in a disproportionate number of cases -- behaviors they have already "aged out" of. 

However, when Christian conservatives consider a man who brags about his participation in "the root of ALL evil," they have nothing but praise. 

To probe these issues in greater depth, here is an excellent "one-stop" resource.
