Media Continues To Steer The Narrative

So, yesterday morning an unnamed man that claims to be the brother of Aafia Siddiqui, [who was found guilty in 2010 of two counts of attempted murder for trying to kill Americans while she was detained in Afghanistan] took several hostages in a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas.
Today the man is reported dead, hostages released safely.

Not a single word devoted to the story in my local newspaper.

I did a little digging and found that Aafia Siddiqui is serving an 86-year sentence at the Federal Medical Center, Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas. Sympathizers call her "Lady Al-Qaeda". Aafia Siddiqui came to the United States of America from Karachi Pakistan in 1990. She resided with her older brother, Muhammad, in Houston (Texas). She was once on the FBI’s most-wanted terrorist list. In 2018, the Pakistani Senate unanimously passed a resolution dubbing her “Daughter of the Nation”. On several occasions, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has extended his support for negotiating Siddiqui’s release with the US government.

So, the point is, this story in Colleyville, Texas has enormous, even international implications. Yet, not a word from the newspaper.

Mrs. Budwick and I pondered how coverage may have been different had the perp been a white man holding hostages in a black church.

Just sayin,...

Colleyville is a small municipality outside of Ft Worth. Law enforcement agencies from around the area responded to assist.

The hostage taker was not related to siddiqi, rather the term he used for her”sister”, refers to their shared belief in jihad. He has been identified as a British national.

What I find concerning and frankly idiotic is the SAC of the Dallas FBI office said they have no reason to believe this was a targeted attack on Jewish people. In what world does that guy live in?

@JesseInTX boy this put another spin on the whole situation. but you mentioned FBI and that says it all

Please observe the BIPOC hierarchy of victim accountability. If the perp isn’t white the body count has to be pretty high to make the news.

I wondered if it was a false flag and that man was a player in it. Someone warned about the more truth that comes out about Fauci/Covid/vaccine mandates etc. that the higher risk of FF

@cherokeepatti Good point.

I've been concerned for some time about the open border and the number of terrorists that could have easily entered the country. This guy has been here all along, but maybe he needed to wait a while for colleagues to settle in before martyring himself.

@Budwick you never know about the ones that come in and are welcome by DS and then indoctrinated MK Ultra style to be sleepers on call for when they are needed.

It would be interesting to know the perpetrators history, was he one of the "refugees" recently admitted into the country by the Biden Administration? If that is the case, it won't be long until people start wondering how many of those "refugees" are really radical muslims bent on bringing jihad to the US. How many have walked unimpeded across the southern border? A citizen can't reenter the country without documentation of citizenship and vaccine status, but the administration doesn't even talk about the 750K to 1M people a year crossing into the US, no citizenship or vaccination needed. Liberals are wrecking the country.

I am sort of waiting before I comment...because we don't know what is involved until they search the terrorists' phone, and his laptop and interview everyone who knew him.

JesseInTX · 51-55, M

@4meAndyou nine of that will happen. Not by the FBI anyway given their statement. He’s dead, hostages are free, case closed. The only way it will happen is if the local authorities continue the investigation. And even then the Feds at the RFCL will delay, delay, delay doing the forensic downloads. This story will disappear as quick as it happened.

@JesseInTX Let's wait and see, okay?

JesseInTX · 51-55, M

@4meAndyou in the next few days they’ll release his name, age, maybe some family info and legal status in the US. Beyond that I don’t have much hope. Governor Abbot may direct TxDPS to conduct a thorough investigation but you won’t see it from the DOJ.

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

How the hell did he get into this country? I think he had a little help from friends, higher up in the govt. here. Just like the ones that are accused of 9-11 terrorism. Strings were pulled by higher-ups here to bring them here and set them up.

@cherokeepatti once the Brits okayed his residency, he was free to visit here.

1354swrdt · 70-79, M

He was a British national reputed to have mental health problems. He had been banned from courts in England for disruptive behaviour. He was a very dangerous man and how is he got into America is a mystery
