Over the Memorial Day weekend, Jeremy Joseph Christian, 35, boarded the MAX train in Portland, Oregon and harassed two young women who, reportedly, were in Islamic attire. Three other men, who are now being hailed as heroes, came to their defense.
Christian killed two of the men by slashing their throats. The third man, who was also stabbed, sustained non-life threatening wounds.
The alleged murderer is now being described as a “known ‘white supremacist’” and his crime a “hate crime” or “anti-Muslim” attack.
Both descriptions further blacken the collective eye of the journalist class, thus reminding us as to why it richly deserves the “Fake News” moniker that now attaches to it.
First, as far as we know at this moment, there are no videos, audios, or even photographs of the Portland crime. This in itself, in this day and age, though not necessarily suspicious, is certainly peculiar. It’s even more peculiar when it is considered that there is video of Christian on this same train ranting and raving just one day prior to the event in question.
On this video, Christian is indeed seen and heard saying something both derogatory and crass about Muslims. However, in one and the same breath, this “Islamophobe” is seen and heard saying derogatory and crass things about Jews and Christians as well:
“F**k Christians, f**k Jews, f**k Muslims!” Christian shouts.
On his Facebook wall, Christian called for a “Monotheist Holocaust,” the “Final Solution to the Monotheist Question.” He wrote that he wants to “put an end to the Monotheist Question. All Zionist Jews, All Christians who do not follow Christ’s teaching of Love, Charity, and Forgiveness And All Jihadi Muslims are going to Madagascar or the Ovens/FEMA Camps!!!”
In another post, he wrote: “I want a job in Norway cutting off the heads of people that Circumsize Babies…Like if you agree!!!”
Judging from what we know, it would seem that Christian equally disdains all three of the Earth’s great monotheistic traditions, or at least those of their forms that Christian takes to be their perversions (Zionist Judaism, Jihadi Islam, Christians who do not follow Christ). Police have confirmed that Christian was hardly the obsessed “Islamophobe” that the media is making him out to be, instead ranting about all sorts of matters.
Yet the Christophobes in the media, always on the hunt for the Big, Bad White Supremacist—who they want for the public to at least subconsciously associate with Christianity—ignore Christian’s “Christophobia” to make it sound as if he has a singular obsession with Muslims.
The secular atheists in the media ignore Christian’s own atheism. In fact, Christian sounds like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Bill Maher, or any number of other contemporary atheists insofar as he asserts: “I would really prefer not to have live with monotheists and various other moronic groups of ignorant cretins that foment hate in the name of Tetragrammaton/Yaheh/Allah and threaten to Destroy the world with their unmatched incompetence….”
Second, predictably, such organizations as the Council on Islamic-American Relations (CAIR) and its propagandists in the left-wing media have tried linking this attack with President Trump. This is preposterous and should remind all Americans of conscience and decency that the left and those racial, ethnic, and religious supremacist organizations with which it allies are motivated by, not truth and good faith, but a desire for ideological domination.
Christian was a convicted criminal. His record includes convictions for robbery, kidnapping, and weapons. He was, indeed, a bad seed. His Facebook rants reveal that he was also erratic. A one-time self-identified backer of Bernie Sanders, Christian called for the death of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump supporters. After Clinton won her party’s nomination, Christian endorsed Jill Stein. Then, after Trump was elected president, he threw his support behind Trump—or so he said. But he reportedly did not vote for him.
Still, his harassment of Trump supporters didn’t stop. Apparently, it got so bad that some Trump supporters contacted the local police about Christian. The police, though, for whatever reasons, were unresponsive.
Third, I have been looking high and low for a detailed account of what exactly occurred between Christian and the men who are now being hailed as “heroes.” Thus far, I have not been able to find one. If they verbally reproached him, imploring Christian to desist his harassment of the two female, (reportedly) Islamic passengers, then Christian is indeed guilty of double murder and battery. If, however, the men who may very well have been the good Samaritans that they are being depicted as, physically besieged him in an attempt to get him to stop running his mouth, then the killing would be one of self-defense, for Christian was not physically harming anyone at the time that the men, somehow, intervened.
Fourth, at this point, if the police have indicated that Christian was not a known “white supremacist.” If anything, they have suspected that he is “mentally ill.”
Fifth, Christian has explicitly disavowed that he is a “racist” and has assured those that would think to accuse him of being such that they could count upon being “knock [ed] out.” “I am not a racist,” he wrote, “and have a half Vietnamese Nephew and large Vietnamese Family in Portland the US Vietnam and around the world.” He added: “I will generally knock out a person that calls me a racist.”
Nor has Christian at any place or time affirmed “white supremacy.” If anything, he expressed admiration for…Malcolm X. “Basically,” he wrote on Facebook, “it pisses me off that we have a federal holiday for some plagerizing [sic] weak sauce revolutionary….If X had lived longer I think he would have done big things!!!”
Christian continued: “Which is why I celebrate a real black revolutionary. MLK was as revolutionary as Mussolini. everything he wrote was actually written by someone else….”
What a strange type of “white supremacist.”
Finally, and related directly to this last point, that the media is spinning the Portland incident into an “anti-Muslim” attack is as dishonest as it is offensive. The two Islamic women left the train physically unscathed. This “white supremacist” instead turned his sights upon three white men.
Three. White. Men.
Two of these men are now dead and the third is recovering from knife wounds. It is a strange kind of “white supremacy” indeed that refuses to lift a finger against non-white females in favor of butchering fellow white men.
To be clear, Jeremy Christian sounds like he was a scumbag long before he stabbed three men, killing two of them. If, upon receiving a fair trial, he is convicted of the crimes of which he is now being accused, I will be the first to urge that he pay with his life.
Though my judgment of Christian doesn’t in the least change the fact that media coverage of him and his alleged crime has been profoundly dishonest, cooked from the start to fit the press’s favorite political narrative of endemic “White Racism.”
And what a better time, hot on the heels of the Islamic murders in Manchester, England and in Egypt, to truck out the left’s meme of choice.
Don’t worry, the media will apologize for slandering Christians and Jews and siding with Islamists-—in 3-—2——1——
...3, 2, 1... NEVER!

Wait i guess that don;t work...
Third, I have been looking high and low for a detailed account of what exactly occurred between Christian and the men who are now being hailed as “heroes.” Thus far, I have not been able to find one.

I have been looking for that as well. Three to one attacking someone is disparity of force.
Strangely quiet on the details of what happened.
This is off topic but still relevant.
Here’s the thing I don’t care if this loon was actually what the media has portrayed. Eventually people do fight back when they’re physically attacked just for being conservative or their freedom of speech is constantly under attack or shutdown. I know this is a lone wolf/nut who clearly attacked out of some mental issue. Just saying, eventually people will get sick of the violence from the leftwing “protestors” and the squelching of conservative political speech and social commentary. When freedom of speech is taken away the only thing left to do is violence to express your frustration. The left is dangerous because they’re creating a situation in this country that is potentially deadly.
we don’t even know if the girls were in hijab. The after-interview of one of them, trying hard to produce some alligator tears, showed her in the typical teen urban street garb of baseball hat and tshirt.
Muslims cannot and do not take pride in infidels ‘protecting’ them. It’s against their beliefs. It will more likely be viewed within the muslim community as taking pride in the girls for causing the deaths of two infidels.
I wonder if the three men knew one another? I would like to think there were witnesses to this other than the one surviving male. If his FB and past crimes are an indication it doesn’t sound far fetched he was shouting at a couple of mooslems.
These statements are s from a CBS/Associated Press article
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeremy-joseph-christian-portland-stabbing-muslim-hate-speech/
“Police say that before the stabbing the assailant on the train was ranting on many topics, using “hate speech or biased language.”
What is hate speech? Our first amendment guarantees us the opportunity to say anything we wish as long as we do not direct a threat of how to kill or maim a person or group. You can wish them dead all you want. Until you actually state you are going to do it, it is legal.
“He was saying that Muslims should die,” Hudson said. “That they’ve been killing Christians for years.”
So, Christians should die also. No hate speech here. And yes, they have been killing Christians for thousands of years. Nothing new.
“Police say the victims were trying to stop Christian from confronting the girls.”
As long as he was not threatening them or taking an action to detain of stop them from doing anything personally, which the article did not say, just tried to imply, he wasn’t stopping anyone from anything. But by using force to stop what he was legally doing, if they started it, they were.
As usual, how it was written means telling or not telling what happened.

This sums it up pretty well. I remember how the media has always portrayed the Trayvon Martin case, and how wildly different my impressions were once I’d actually done a bit of research. I am not defending this nutcase, but... I too want to know just exactly how they “intervened,” and why there is no footage of it.
Why would Three White Males offer up their lives to defend the honor of two muslim females who had already de-trained, unscathed? Was this a false-flag gone terribly backfired?
I know atheists who are better Christians.
Atheists better Christians? Perhaps human beings, but not christians, unless they become one
When I identified as an agnostic acting as an atheist, I had Christian friends tell me that I acted more Christian than most Christians.
But they did not call me a Christian.
That only happened after I became a practicing Christian.
“Why would Three White Males offer up their lives to defend the honor of two muslim females who had already de-trained, unscathed?”
They were suffering from WKS (White Knight Syndrome).
