On the day of his rampage at a gay nightclub, the Orlando shooter posted messages on Facebook pledging allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State and vowing that there would be more attacks in the coming days by the group in the United States, according to a letter sent to Facebook on Wednesday by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee.

“America and Russia stop bombing the Islamic state..I pledge my alliance to [Islamic State leader] abu bakr al Baghdadi ..may Allah accept me,” Omar Mateen wrote, according to the letter, which requested Facebook’s assistance in the investigation into the shooting that resulted in 49 deaths.

Mateen then posted, according to the letter: “The real muslims will never accept the filthy ways of the west” and “You kill innocent women and children by doing us airstrikes..now taste the Islamic state vengeance.”

“Why would the “powers that be” want to fabricate a fake gay identity for the shooter?”

Sorry FR I did not mean to put that quote on this post. That quote was from another post. Sorry to make it look like you said that.

The rest of the post about disinformation was for you though.

“I’m beginning to think the homosexual stuff is disinformation they threw out there to distract us.”

I am convinced of that.

I believe the stories are being deliberately muddled and at the behest of Obama.

I agree. My thoughts are, he went to the club to plan the attack, not to date.

The MSM website has a story saying the shooter “opposed the filthy ways of the West.” Well, as we all know here, Western “culture” HAS become filthy in a way that our parents would not have tolerated. And who created that filthy culture? Liberals. But the spin will be that conservatives also oppose the “filthy” culture, so - once again - everything will be blamed on conservatives and not on the creators of the filthy culture.

Kinda neutralizes the propaganda about him being a queer, doesn’t it. He was a murderous foreign enemy, not simply an American weirdo.

Just a sexually frustrated born in America gay muslim dude. He took a gun and killed his own kind, ISIS/ISIL or whatever wasn’t involved. And no...the fight over bathrooms isn’t over.

And to add to that, it looks like the gay community is at some fault for not helping one of their own kind.

Saying that the shooter was gay and conflicted puts the tertorist in a victim group. Suddenly, he is the innocent victim of racist, homophobic Christian AmeriKKKa and the NRA, Islam had nothing to do with it and the people to blame are Christians and gun owners. That has pretty much been the narrative.

*** Not sure I understand what is going on. ***

This group of Latinx lgbqt folks breaks it down. White Patriarchy/Colonialism caused the Orlando attack. Muslims are the Allies of gays, and victims of White Oppression.

Which is why he was made a Security Officer and
protected by the Federal Bureau for Islamic Invasion (FBI).

The govt knew about this guy. The problem is not our gun laws. The problem is corruption and incompetence in the govt. Obama leads the way and politicizing our security is the only thing he’s a leader in.
