BBC Scrubs ‘Ali’ From Munich Killer’s Name On TV, In Articles, AND On Social Media
Breitbart London ^ | 7/23/16 | RAHEEM KASSAM

Posted on 07/23/2016 11:45:53 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

The BBC has unilaterally chosen not to report the Munich attacker’s full name, in what appears to be an attempt to scrub any Muslim or Islamic heritage link to its coverage of the incident. Most sources at this point suggest that Ali David Sonboly – the Munich attacker who targeted children and killed nine yesterday – is not connected to radical Islam, but the BBC has gone to extraordinary lengths to try to keep any reference to his heritage out of its coverage, opting to name him only as “David Sonboly”.

Other news organisations including the Wall Street Journal, Independent, Daily Mail, and Sky News named the attacker as “Ali David Sonboly” or “David Ali Sonboly”. CNN even referred to him simply as “Ali Sonboly”.

It doesn’t get much more dishonest than this.

“His name has not been officially released but he is being named locally as David Ali Sonboly.
He has also been referred to as Ali David Sonboly, or David S.”

1984 Newspeak. If you take the blue pill, islamic terrorism vanishes. Amazing, we have been in a lesser depression for 8 years, but you would never know it watching the MSM.

I think sheeple is a misnomer. If one has to eat to survive, and must eat what it put before one, then there’s no point in berating the eater for his derived appetites.

And if one is subjected to unending propaganda from one’s own government, pace BBC and PBS in the USA, that person isn’t so much a dull-minded sheep as a victim.

It’s weird because everybody knows. Which signals that the press is basically a pack of social engineers.

A guy named Somebody woke up one day pissed off for some unknown reason, got a hold of an unlicensed handgun and lots of ammunition, then took it out on some kids at a McDonald’s. Guns are bad.

Case closed.

How is this known ~24 hours after the event? Color me skeptical.

They want to call him “David”. It’s nice when liberal antisemites can blame the Jews.

I have seen that it might not be David at all, but Da’houd.

A lot of news sources still stick with “David S. making him seem like a Brit or an American or somesuch.

“Social activists parading as journalists.”

Because Britain has long ago sold it’s soul to Islam plain and simple.

Bad guns, and not a bad Ali cat, and not Allah-Akhbarbarianism.

Let’s go ahead and indulge the idea, that maybe he thought he was getting back at the world for bullying. (I do this to show that “liberals” may not even be wrong for caring, but rather for where they take it.)

Trouble was, he then “made peace” with where he was by finding and yielding to and taking within his heart a power that could bully even worse. That’s like trying to fix a strychnine poisoning problem by swallowing cyanide. Even if, to stretch the example, he barfed the cyanide all over everyone else he could for revenge... he still dies of it himself.

Something wicked that way walked. And that’s why I say we have a spiritual issue. We can’t possibly exterminate all cases of this by earthly war. Spiritual war must be waged.
