Story Begins To Unravel About Drowned Syrian Boy
The Daily Caller ^ | 9/7/15 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 09/07/2015 7:25:23 PM PDT by paltz

Details about the Syrian family of the three-year old boy, who drowned as they made their way to Europe from Turkey on a small dingy, began to emerge recently and some things do not add up.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Abdullah Kurdi, the little boy’s father, was living in a relatively safe area in a Turkish town for three years while working on construction sites for 50 Turkish lira (roughly $17) a day.

However, Kurdi told a Syrian radio station it was not enough to support himself and his family and he relied on his sister Tima Kurdi, who is a 20-year resident of Canada, to assist in paying the rent.

It should be noted that Tima told reporters Thursday that the family just came to Turkey last year, even though WSJ points out he came to Turkey three years ago, and his Facebook “shows pictures of the family in Istanbul crossing the Bosporus and feeding pigeons next to the famous Yeni Cami, or new mosque.”

Just about the ONLY true thing about the story is that the boy did die:

Almost EVERY other thing about the story is a total LIE.

Just like 90% of dramatic tales of intense Arab woe.

Another flag for me in this entire saga is that our government is telling us that isis has only 20,000 to 31,000 members.

Is this enough to cause this much of an international crisis? I don’t believe so. It shouldn’t be that difficult to extinguish 20,000 to 31,000 of them.

If some of these coward refugees would stay and fight, there wouldn’t be an isis problem. How are those Obama bombings going? Clearly, there was never an intent to take out isis.

So-called refugees were throwing back food and water bottles and cursing their benefactors.

They didn’t want food or water; they want welfare benefits and housing allotments.

‘Show us the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!’

They're going to be throwing objects much more lethal than that in the not too distant future.

Did it strike you as odd, the way he was lying there on the beach, hands at his sides, feet toward the beach, hair nice and neat?

You know what? That ABSOLUTELY made me suspicious:

It was just too good, that shot.

I honestly doubted he was dead, and a small part of me even now questions it.

Darn right. I threw down the BS flag on Sept. 2 for this story: "Migrant child's body on beach shocks Europe." One doesn't want to be callous, but the Moslems have us beat handily where that is concerned. It's hard to tell what really happened at this early stage, but I will re-post, in case others didn't see, and I apologize for the repetition:

I've researched and reported a lot on terrorist graphics, especially ones released through AFP—which stands for Agence France-Presse (the French Press Agency). Bear in mind that AFP loves the Muzzies and Commies, and hates the Jews and Christians. To AFP, there's almost no blood libel against the West that isn't "too good to fact-check."

In favor of the picture's possible authenticity is that it's shot toward the end of the day in less-than-ideal lighting. But it is suspiciously perfect in every other way. How did some photographer come upon this placid body just as the Turkish cop was discovering it? Hadn't the Turks secured the beach?

Most improbable: Why are the clothes in such perfect condition? Do you have any idea what floating in sometimes sandy water full of seaweed or motor oil for days in the broiling sun and sea water does to bright red and blue clothes? Ask any mom what happens after 10 minutes in a mud puddle! The garments are so perfectly positioned on the body—not pulled out of place or stripped off by waves, other passengers trying to save the tot, or desperate thrashing. . .

Moslem agitators have been known (observed and filmed) rearranging and repositioning bodies for a better shot—and then instructing hapless, docile Moslem officials to pose walking up and "discovering" them.

Muzzies will also take bodies of children killed by their own bombs and put them into a different scene to create a photo-narrative to go with a claim that, say, the Israelis killed them. I have seen beautiful tableaux of detritus from a blown-up building (allegedly, but unprovably, by evil non-Moslems) with a single, adorable fluffy toy—incongruously, poignantly sitting in the middle of the wreckage. Looking as perfect as if it had been plucked out of a shop window and placed, still fluffy, clean, and free of icky bomb dust, on top of the mess. Which it had.

And Moslem propagandist-terrorists (but I repeat myself) have been known to kill non-Moslem children and arrange them just so, to be photographed and pull at the the empathetic, gentle heartstrings . . . of viciously anti-Semitic Euro-Communists everywhere.

I'd say the shot is perfect enough to be highly suspect. A 95-percent reading on the B.S. meter. God have mercy on the lot of them. If the boy is indeed dead, which looks to be the case, may he wake up in Paradise. Recall always that Moslem invasion, even by civilians, is an act of war foisted on their own people and ours.

Unfortunately the damage is done, that pic was used as propaganda to coax the western world to let in thousands of potential enemy cambatants in and it worked.

I can only hope when the terrorists start revealing themselves people will finally wake up and say enough.

I have to agree.

I was sickened by the picture.

But it WAS just too "perfect".

Not saying it couldn't be real.

Just that dead drowning victims look NOTHING like that.

Particularly coming out of the ocean.

Hell, out of a cold lake, they are bloated, swollen, and more often than not, naked.

The Arabs are experts in playing not the race card but the “I am a permanent victim” card.

I live in squalor because the the Jooooz.
I am earning less than $200 a month because of the Jooooz.
I have 17 kids and 3 wives because of the Joooooz.
My fellow brother Muslims murders and tortures me because of the Jooooz.
We (the Muslims) have a death wish for ourselves and others because of the Jooooz.
I can't pay all my cell phone bills because of the Jooooz.
My religion lets me kill my daughter out of a lack of modesty to the Prophet because of the Jooooz.

These G-d forsaken people have been at war with themselves and the rest of humanity long before Muhammad stormed out of the Arabian peninsula.
Ishmael in the Bible is the seed of their inhumanity.
