		<description><![CDATA[In the age of Twitter bloodguilt, no evidence is necessary. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/twitter_2094423b.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-247682" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/twitter_2094423b-450x281.jpg" alt="twitter_2094423b" width="370" height="231" /></a>On Monday, Australian police stormed the Lindt Chocolate Cafe in Sydney, where an Islamist terrorist named Man Haron Monis had taken dozens of hostages and held them for 17 hours. Three people were killed, including Monis, and several others were wounded. Monis, an Iranian immigrant, had a long criminal record, including 40 charges for indecent and sexual assault, as well as an outstanding charge for accessory to murder in the killing of his ex-wife. Before his death, Monis requested an ISIS flag, and forced hostages to hold up the so-called Shahada flag, which proclaims in Arabic, &#8220;There Is No God But Allah, and Muhammad Is His Messenger.&#8221;</p>
<p>In response to this Islamist terror attack on a civilian hub in the center of their city, Australians all over the country took action: They tweeted with the hashtag #illridewithyou. This hashtag came from the mind of one Rachel Jacobs, who witnessed a Muslim woman removing her hijab on the local train after the news of the hostage situation broke. Jacobs tweeted, &#8220;I ran after her at the train station. I said &#8216;put it back on. I&#8217;ll walk with u&#8217;. She started to cry and hugged me for about a minute — then walked off alone.&#8221; Soon, the hashtag had been launched, and quickly trended globally.</p>
<p>Australia&#8217;s race discrimination commissioner, Tim Soutphommasane, added, &#8220;Let&#8217;s not allow fear, hatred and division to triumph.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yes, Australia has a race commissioner, but nobody who thinks it&#8217;s a bad idea to let Islamist fanatics immigrate, or to keep those same Islamist fanatics in jail after they&#8217;re charged in the stabbing of their ex-wives.</p>
<p>Priorities!</p>
<p>Never mind that nobody had said a word to the woman in the hijab — pre-emptive anti-Islamophobia was the first response to an Islamist taking Western hostages in a Western capital.</p>
<p>Across the globe, in the United States, two dueling hashtags debated the relative guilt of American law enforcement. After New York City man Eric Garner resisted arrest, and then died thanks to his pre-existing health conditions after being taken down by police, the hashtag #ICantBreathe went viral.</p>
<p>That hashtag fought for prominence with one dedicated to Michael Brown, the 18-year-old black man who was shot to death after attempting to take a gun from a police officer and charging the police officer: #HandsUpDontShoot. Never mind that the first hashtag was taken wildly out of context — Garner was not choked to death — and that the second was completely fictitious — autopsy showed Brown did not have his hands up when he was shot.</p>
<p>These hashtags aren&#8217;t just the work of lazy activists with nothing better to do. They&#8217;re signifiers of a suicidal west that believes it bears bloodguilt. No real allegations of Islamophobia or racism are necessary — those can be assumed. We immediately go into preliminary disassociation mode, attempting to demonstrate to our friends and neighbors that while our civilization may be Islamophobic and racist, we are not. After all, we even tweeted using the day&#8217;s popular hashtag!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the problem: Islamists don&#8217;t care about hashtags when they can take hostages and earn the sympathetic hashtags of others. Those who resist law enforcement or attack police officers outright are happy to do so when they become causes celebre, no matter what they do wrong.</p>
<p>The West has its evils. There are instances of racism and Islamophobia. Nobody with a brain would deny that. But to slander the West with a sort of communal guilt for an Original Sin, even as the West is under fire from those who would seek to destroy its civilizational foundations, is nothing less than barbaric.</p>

<p>The mobs of racist Garner/Brown protesters are being falsely described as peaceful by their PR corps in the media. The<a href="http://nypost.com/2014/12/14/nypd-lieutenants-attacked-during-peaceful-protest/"> reality is ugly and brutal</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>NYPD officers were swarmed by protesters in a knock-down, drag-out brawl on the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday night that sent two police lieutenants to the hospital.</p>
<p>The president of the NYPD Hispanic Society on Sunday demanded that Mayor de Blasio and the City Council “denounce these disgraceful protests calling for dead police officers.</p>
<p>“Many elected officials are quick to speak out against police officers, but now that we need them to calm our city, where is their press conference on the steps of City Hall?” said the leader, Dennis Gonzalez. “Their silence is deafening. Tweets about non-violence and peaceful protests aren’t good enough.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Instead Bill de Blasio continued supporting the racist Garner mobs.</p>
<blockquote><p>De Blasio released a statement Saturday in which he first talked about how “peaceful” city protesters have been.</p>
<p>“The people of New York have provided an example to the world on how to protest, march and express themselves in a peaceful and respectful manner,” the mayor said.</p></blockquote>
<p>They&#8217;re not the &#8220;people of New York&#8221; and their only example, like De Blasio&#8217;s example, is in how to racially divide a city, spread hate and hurt people.</p>
<blockquote><p>“[The officers] were punched by numerous people,” said Deputy Commissioner of Intelligence and Counter Terrorism John lMiller. “They were kicked in their face and in the head while the group attempted to steal their portable radios and tear away their police identification jackets.”</p></blockquote>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/gar.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-246787" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/gar-232x350.jpg" alt="gar" width="232" height="350" /></a><strong>Reprinted from <a href="http://www.newsmax.com/">Newsmax.com</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Sources in the mainstream media expressed outrage after a grand jury declined to indict a New York City policeman in the death of Eric Garner, but there are 11 significant facts that many of them have chosen to overlook:</p>
<p>1. There is no doubt that Garner was resisting an arrest for illegally selling untaxed cigarettes. Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik put it succinctly: &#8220;You cannot resist arrest. If Eric Garner did not resist arrest, the outcome of this case would have been very different,&#8221; he told Newsmax. &#8220;He wouldn&#8217;t be dead today.</p>
<p>&#8220;Regardless of what the arrest was for, the officers don&#8217;t have the ability to say, &#8216;Well, this is a minor arrest, so we&#8217;re just going to ignore you.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>2. The video of the July 17 incident clearly shows Garner, an African-American, swatting away the arms of a white officer seeking to take him into custody, telling him: &#8220;Don&#8217;t touch me!&#8221;</p>
<p>3. Garner, 43, had history of more than 30 arrests dating back to 1980, on charges including assault and grand larceny.</p>
<p>4. At the time of his death, Garner was out on bail after being charged with illegally selling cigarettes, driving without a license, marijuana possession and false impersonation.</p>
<p>5. The chokehold that Patrolman Daniel Pantaleo put on Garner was reported to have contributed to his death. But Garner, who was 6-foot-3 and weighed 350 pounds, suffered from a number of health problems, including heart disease, severe asthma, diabetes, obesity, and sleep apnea. Pantaleo&#8217;s attorney and police union officials argued that Garner&#8217;s poor health was the main cause of his death.</p>
<p>6. Garner did not die at the scene of the confrontation. He suffered cardiac arrest in the ambulance taking him to the hospital and was pronounced dead about an hour later.</p>
<p>7. Much has been made of the fact that the use of chokeholds by police is prohibited in New York City. But officers reportedly still use them. Between 2009 and mid-2014, the Civilian Complaint Review Board received 1,128 chokehold allegations.</p>
<p>Patrick Lynch, president of the New York City Patrolmen&#8217;s Benevolent Association, said: &#8220;It was clear that the officer&#8217;s intention was to do nothing more than take Mr. Garner into custody as instructed, and that he used the takedown technique that he learned in the academy when Mr. Garner refused.&#8221;</p>
<p>8. The grand jury began hearing the case on Sept. 29 and did not reach a decision until Wednesday, so there is much testimony that was presented that has not been made public.</p>
<p>9. The 23-member grand jury included nine non-white jurors.</p>
<p>10. In order to find Officer Pantaleo criminally negligent, the grand jury would have had to determine that he knew there was a &#8220;substantial risk&#8221; that Garner would have died due to the takedown.</p>
<p>11. Less than a month after Garner&#8217;s death, Ramsey Orta, who shot the much-viewed videotape of the encounter, was indicted on weapons charges. Police alleged that Orta had slipped a .25-caliber handgun into a teenage accomplice&#8217;s waistband outside a New York hotel.</p>
