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.”

Today Milo gave a speech in Orlando admonishing US caution towards Islam.

Know why Orlando couldn’t spare a SINGLE cop to protect him?

Cuz ALL the cops are out protecting the Orlando MOSQUES, in order to guard against “backlash”.

YOU THINK I’m joking.

But I am NOT joking.

They scrub his facebook posts and then tell us they are searching for a motive. I’m beginning to think the homosexual stuff is disinformation they threw out there to distract us.

I tend to agree with you.

This tactic seems to have worked in regards to Libyan Ambassador Stevens.

Actually this is great, and I hope to see more of this sort of information coming up as it counters all the crap coming out of the Democrats about fault lying with Christians, and the Second Amendment. This clearly states ISLAM is to blame ONCE AGAIN for more innocent deaths.

I lean towards blaming the Democrats more than Islam anymore. At least here in the USA. Without Democrat support Islam wouldn’t succeed in their assaults on our society.

Mainstream media was on that weak "conflicted homosexual rage" angle like white on rice.
I was thinking the very same thing that they *urgently* needed something to provide diversion/cover for Hillary Clinton pronto, if not sooner.

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

Oh I am sure it is disinformation.

Framing it this way now they can play the victim card. Poor closet homosexual, due to societal shaming, finally snaps. Its not his fault you see, he snapped because society would not let him be who he wanted to be.

Then they get to pivot to the gun card. You see since society is so mean, poor little victims are bound to snap (not their fault), and our society allows guns so freely that the only rational thing to do it to outlaw guns.

All this while also turning the issue away from islam. Total win win for them.

Without a doubt the homo angle is misdirection. Never heard of a gay man having his female wife drive him to a gay bar to case the place. And they cannot produce any former gay lovers. Only people who thought he was hitting on them.
