In coverage of the March 22 Boulder, CO. supermarket massacre, The New York Times was true to form (All the News That’s Fit to Spin), reporting that “investigators were trying to determine what motivated a 21-year-old man” charged with 10 murders.
Whenever the establishment media tell you that the authorities are diligently searching for a motive in a mass shooting, it means there’s no shortage of clues that they don’t want to follow, to keep you from jumping to any logical conclusions.
In typical New York Times fashion, the newspaper devoted two paragraphs to the murder weapon (a “Ruger AR-556 semiautomatic pistol”), while avoiding any mention of Islam or jihad.
The story did include one tantalizing detail: that the suspect’s identity was “previously known to the FBI,” because it was “linked to another individual under investigation.” Readers were left to wonder -- linked to an individual being investigated for what? Linked in what way? Were they pen pals, bridge partners?
The media is portraying Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa (say, is that a Scandinavian name?) as a classic nut case. His brother describes him as “mentally ill,” “paranoid” and “anti-social.” He thought he was being followed and was prone to violence – none of which is in any way incompatible with Islamic terrorism. The typical jihadist isn’t warm, outgoing and full of bonhomie.
What they aren’t telling you:
Be assured that any anti-Semitic rants have been purged from his Face Book and Twitter accounts, which were taken down immediately after the murders.
Still, other than a synagogue (which, in many cases, are well-guarded, given the culture we’re in) what better place to go full-jihad than in a market with a wide array of kosher food, favored by local Jews, less than a week before Passover?
You can see why the MSM is downplaying any jihadist elements.
They were bitterly disappointed that, after the first 24 hours, they didn’t get to blame the horrific crime on an embittered white man with a gun -- probably an evangelical Trump supporter who was on a search and destroy mission for Asian masseuses.
Well before January 6, the left was pushing its white supremacist terrorism narrative. The Capitol riot was a godsend for them.
The hand puppet Biden put in charge of the Department of Homeland Security says white supremacists (bitter-clingers? deplorables?) are “the most significant” threat to internal security – forget Antifa and Black Lives Matter and a hundred and one Muslim terrorist groups with arsenals supplied by the oil wealth of the Middle East. By all means, forget Biden’s open borders.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says the “most significant terrorist threat facing the nation comes from lone offenders and small groups of individuals who commit acts of violence motivated by domestic extremist ideological beliefs.” Like believing the election was stolen? Like illegal aliens should not get COVID stimulus money? Like voter-ID laws.
Mayorkas assured us that this year states and localities will get to spend $77 million in DHS grants on “combatting domestic violent extremism.” Perhaps they’ll stake out American Legion posts or gun clubs.
At his confirmation hearing, Attorney General Merrick (thank God he didn’t make it to the Supreme Court) Garland pledged to make prosecuting the Jan. 6 “insurrectionists” his first priority. He warned that the U.S. is “facing a more dangerous period than we faced” after the Oklahoma City bombing, which then President Bill Clinton blamed on conservative talk radio.
This is all very convenient. It takes the heat off Islamism, the no-justice/no-peace crowd and the anarchists who burned down sections of 140 cities last summer.
Here’s a prediction: After a delay of several years, Alissa will be found not guilty by reason of insanity, and be confined to a mental institution for the rest of his life. That way, his real motivation will get buried – along with the Boulder bodies.
Yes.
This news got buried lickity split, no more coverage.
Joseph Goebbels is smiling in hell, if he can smile.
How many of the victims were Jewish? Did he say anything while he was shooting? Had he been there before—did he have a beef with anyone there?
Sure the FBI knew of him. But our laws don’t allow the government to pick up everyone e they “know of.” And we don’t want that happening.
I am not sure what FR folks want the FBI to do? If he hadn’t committed any crimes before pulling the trigger, there isn’t much they can do.
Giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States is the stock and trade of the mainstream leftist enemedia (e.g., ABCAPCBSCNNMSNBCNYTNPRPBSWP)
Boulder Shooting.. Something Very Strange!!

This is happening repeatedly. When the FBI investigated the two 9/11 terrorists who were enrolled in an Arizona flight school wanting to learn how to fly a jet already in flight but not how to take off or land, they were ordered to cease their investigation lest they profile. When Major Hasan served in the Army he gave off innumerable signals and actions that he was neither fit and has bizarre ideation. Not one rational superior took any action. Incredibly after 9/11 Muslim immigration into the United States increased dramatically.
Convinced the Left is using Muslim insanity as a tool to deconstruct the United States.
Yep, just plain gone. Almost like it never happened. The MSM will only refer to it in passing as an example of those evil ARs.
They imply disgruntled white men are the greatest threat to “democracy”.
I say we need to give them a real reason to fear us. As it stands, they can just point the finger at whites and say “J’Accuse”, and people cower and hang their head in shame. Frankly, it is disgusting.
I doubt it.
The Media promotes this sort of attack through the constant drumbeat that America is Islamophobic.
They just take advantage of the attacks the encourage with their blame America first rhetoric.
On thing which stands out: no details of the magazines used in the attack.
If they were 10 round or 15 round magazines, it is another significant undercutting of the narrative for bans on standard magazines.
I think he was motivated by the racist talk in the media against whites. Its everywhere, whites are supremacist, whites are homophobes, islamophopes whites need to die, he took out 10 of them all white, no people of color were killed by the “white Muslim”.
He bought the Ruger a week before the shooting. Colorado banned the sale of magazines over 15 rounds so they almost certainly were 15 rounds.
“The media is portraying Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa (say, is that a Scandinavian name?)”
Yes, these days. Any more questions?
That is likely, but it has not been confirmed.
He also had another gun, supposedly a for conventional pistol.
The police are sitting on the information.
They have also had over 100 interviews of the murderer, but "have not determined a motive".
Far left woman police chief in a far left polity.
No, it’s not confirmed. And, no, they have “no idea” what his motive was.
BTW, CO has all the laws the DC dems want to enact (mag limits, galactic backround checks). How’d that work out?
Bttt.

They are getting desperate, wanting full Venuzuela to control the information flow.
