Why did mainstream media widely disseminate the picture of Alan Kurdi -- the three-year-old Syrian child who tragically drowned in the Mediterranean -- despite never publishing pictures of Mideast children who are intentionally killed?
Did you, for instance, ever see this picture?
This little boy was murdered on Easter Sunday when Islamic suicide bombers, targeting Christians, attacked a crowded park. They murdered dozens -- mostly Christian women and children.
What about this picture?
This boy -- along with some 60 Christian worshippers -- was killed when Islamic jihadis attacked a church service in Baghdad in 2010 (click here to see what happened to the adults, including the Islamic suicide bombers).
What about this picture -- a 12-year-old Coptic Christian girl?
She was abducted and murdered in Libya last year. By who?
Well, by the U.S.-supported jihadis who ousted Gaddafi. Shortly after they did so, they issued a “reward” for anyone finding and killing Christians. (More graphic images here.)
Did the MSM show you this picture -- a 12-year-old Pakistani Christian girl?
She was raped and murdered by a Muslim man. He wasn’t even convicted.
Have you seen this picture? Why not?
This is the “youngest hostage” captured by ISIS after they took the predominantly Christian town of Kessab, Syria in 2014.[i]
Christian children are not the only ones slaughtered by Muslim jihadis for being “subhuman” “infidels.” The picture below shows a child who was murdered in Syria in 2012 by people the media then called “freedom fighters” -- today they are more commonly known as “ISIS” -- for being the son of Shias (who are seen as “infidels” no less than Christians).
The next picture? This toddler girl was reportedly chained and made to watch her Shia parents being executed. Based on another grizzly picture, her heart may have been carved out by the “rebels.”
The above pictures are only a small sampling of Christians and other “infidel” children killed by Islamic supremacists. Much more graphic images are available -- such as this picture of the beheaded and mangled corpse of a very young Buddhist girl in Thailand.
Back to our original question:
Why did the MSM – which you now know habitually ignores images of children killed for being non-Muslim “infidels” -- publish and disseminate the image of an ACCIDENTALLY drowned child far and wide?
Simple: For a desired effect. For a political agenda. In this case, the agenda was to prompt “sympathy and outrage at the inaction of developed nations in helping refugees.”
It worked.
Look at how that picture manipulated French President François Hollande:
[Hollande called many] European leaders after the images [of Kurdi] were circulated in the media and told the leaders that the picture must be a reminder of the world's responsibility against refugees. It also worked on British Prime Minister David Cameron. He said he felt “deeply moved” by the picture.
Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny found it “absolutely shocking.”
And perhaps the chief representative of the “mainstream media,” the New York Times, used the picture as a club to berate Americans: “Shame on us all for the death of Aylan Kurdi.”
That picture didn’t just encourage words. The widely disseminated image of that accidentally drowned child spurred the desired political outcome, too.
Because of it, countless Muslim migrants -- including ISIS operatives and sympathizers -- have been received into Western nations, far more than might have been received otherwise.
That’s our answer. That’s why they showed you the picture of Alan Kurdi, but none of the pictures above.
If the mainstream media intended to accurately report the news, the pictures you just saw for the first time would have been deemed more newsworthy than the picture of Alan. The pictures you just saw depict children who were INTENTIONALLY killed by Islam-inspired hate, whereas Kurdi died accidentally.
The former deaths we can actually do something about -- if we simply first acknowledge them. Whereas the tragedy that befell Kurdi is of the kind that will always plague man.
More pivotal questions:
Based on the widespread outrage and action elicited by the picture of Kurdi, would a picture of a Christian child killed for being an “infidel” -- if disseminated widely – provoke widespread “sympathy and outrage at the inaction of developed nations in helping” Christian minorities living under Islam?
Would European leaders express how “absolutely shocked” or “deeply moved” they are?
Would the NYT berate us for shirking our humanitarian duties?
Would Hollande proclaim that “the picture must be a reminder of the world's responsibility” for persecuted non-Muslims?
No.
Further, rather than put their political counterparts in such a predicament, the mainstream media intentionally does not publish them at all.
Well, you have them now, along with access to social media and contact information for mainstream outlets. Let’s see how they respond.
For those who still need it spelled out: the MSM’s primary function is to normalize and popularize narratives that pave the way for certain political agendas. These narratives often have nothing to do with reality. They exist solely to manipulate people into support policy.
In this case, the narrative/political agenda is to maintain the farce that Islam is inherently peaceful and that the West needs to take in millions of Muslim migrants.
The above pictures of Christian and other “infidel” children mutilated and murdered by Muslims destroy that narrative, so you never got to see them before.
F the MSM!
Obama and the UN stood by while genocide was happening.
I knew it was happening. How could they not know? How did our so-called European allies not know? The blood of these innocent children is on their hands.
I think the MSM just got the Big Middle Finger in Indiana...
All of the peoples responsible for this, and any who support this, need to be eradicated from this planet. Anyone who could do this to children really should not be allowed to exist.
I do not believe in spending our blood and treasure in the middle east, but to eradicate this evil, and I mean to really, no holds barred, Patton like, eradicate this evil I would be willing to support that. And I believe our men and women in arms would agree......so long as they were allowed to do their just and ritous job while there.

if Christianity were a strong and thriving religion, there would be tens of thousands of young men from the West, streaming to Kurdistan or Aleppo, to form protective forces for the people there. Certainly, Muslims recruit and organize this way for “jihad.”
Was this once true in the West? Perhaps 1000 years ago. For both better and for worse, it clearly shows the difference among the two civilizations.
Trump has talked about the Christians being slaughtered. I pray he will put a stop to it. I also pray for his safety. He’s got a lot of powerful people very afraid right now.
I would not object to Trump using tactical nukes. I KNOW he’ll wipe out oil convoys.
The power of the press-—total control of words and images has been going on for 100 years-—to “kill God”. It started in Germany and with German philolsohy/psychiatry (Fichte/Wundt) to flip 2000 years of Good and Evil for the psychopathic sodomite elites. Make children irrational and they will believe “snow is black”, Slavery is Freedom and Vice is Virtue.
The Germans knew exactly how to control and destroy Virtue formation in children—sexualize them in Latency (warp their whole perception of male/female (read “Propaganda, written by Freud’s nephew—Bernays). It explains HOW to control ALL beliefs and desires of the masses. He is the father of “Public Relations” and started “Marketing” of “ideas”. Dewey took over “education”.
It is essential to get young chlldren AWAY from the Natural Family so they can embed hate and destroy trust in parents. The Prussian system is designed to destroy individuality and virtue formation for “group-(non)-think for their “collective” and to destroy “thinking outside the box”. They need to create little jackboots for the State (like the Hitler Youth.) Now they are flooding our country with abused children from Mexico/muslim countries-—to be like the homosexual Brownshirts who had no virtue formation. It was (is) easy to kill children and women for the non-Christian jackboots.
It has been designed in America over 100 years ago-—to destroy Critical Thinking in our children by removing Classical Christian Curricula and just progam Marxist/Freudian ideas. Hyper-sexualizing young children easily warps and corrupts virtue formation and creates irrationality (Vice is Virtue, Boys are Girls) which WILL collapse civil society. They destroy Reason and Logic and embed lies and irrational concepts-—like boys are girls.
Without Virtue, there is no possibility of Freedom.
If you saw the videos of the anti-Trump demonstrators in California, you saw the Hispanic youth with absolutely no virtue formation. The same people were up here in Seattle in the May Day anarchy. It saw these ethically deficient sub-human protesters light fireworks and throw rocks and Molotov cocktails. Because of them there were numerous injuries of Seattle police and senseless acts of violence and property destruction.
Sobering, very graphic photo’s of some of the youngest victims of the Muslim terrorists.
That Hillary’s media refuses to release.

Enemies foreign, enemies domestic.
This is the most evil government in the history of the republic.
TREASON - continuous, in-your-face, agenda-driven, agency-abetted, representative-enabled, media-complicit, ongoing...
Thanks for posting... The open anti Christian laws, rhetoric is back in style. I guess it is wheat and chaff time.
Yes, one of many establishment mega groups to get the finger.

They SHOULD be very afraid; they are the ones who created the cultural, military and financial mess we're in.
And they created Donald Trump.
And the clincher is that Donald trump has never been an unindicted felon...
One might at this point contemplate the task for Joshua and the Children of Israel given prior to their entry into the promised land. Certain of the inhabitants were to be wiped out men, women, children, and animals and don’t take their stuff, and if you don’t, you and the world will live to regret it. They didn’t in some cases and now we reap the whirlwind.
