The Exploitation Of The Holocaust Museum Shooting

Link

'The recent murder of a security guard in the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. by James Von Brunn was immediately exploited by many political pundits and organizations to further their political agendas. Left-wing partisans used the tragedy to bash Conservatives and blamed it on right-wing talk radio. Front Page magazine, a Neo-con publication tried to claim the man was a leftist.

Fox News Pundit Glen Beck used the event to compare 9/11 truthers to terrorist and called for war against Iran by comparing the shooter to Iran's President Ahmadinejad. Partisan Republican talk show host Rush Limbaugh went as far as to blame the mans actions on the Obama administration policies. Rabbi Dr. Morton H. Pomerantz blamed President Obama for creating a climate of anti-semitism.

No surprise really, as that Metallica song lyric goes" ....the empty can rattles the most".
They will use an avenue for empathy.

I was hoping to get this thread out to ATS readers as fast as possible early this morning, I guess in the process I did something wrong because the thread lost somethng during my submistion so here is the article link and look forward to hearing all veiws on the topic.

Thank you

It is starting to look like 'friendly fire' may have killed the security guard:

www.nydailynews.com...
--Visitor Maria Hernandez told CNN she heard five shots and saw the wounded security guard. "He was face down. His back ... blood was coming out."

www.cnn.com...
She heard security guards yell to someone she could not see: "They were, 'Get on the floor. Drop the weapon! Drop the weapon!' Once he didn't respond, they started shooting." .. Hernandez saw another security guard lying flat on his belly.
[Comment: If the perp had already shot off a round, the cops would not have given him a warning. The old guy never got a chance to fire his gun.]

transcripts.cnn.com...
MARIA: I ran towards the glass doors to see what was going on.... And there I could see a security man pull out his gun and shoot towards the shooter.
I also saw another security man on his belly. There was blood everywhere. So I didn't actually see him get shot, but I saw that he was badly hurt and he did get shot.
HENRY: And then you saw some of the return fire from the security personnel?
MARIA: Yes, it hit the security man. ... ... I thought that the security guards were just shooting, but then I know that they were shooting at someone. So it sounded like a small gun. It did not sound very loud. It sounded like the ones that the security guards -- almost the same as the ones the security guards were shooting.

HENRY: ... as we heard from that eyewitness, Maria, 19 years old, who was saying that the security officer was bleeding profusely, was face down on the ground, was bleeding from the back, she believed...
...she thought that he was shot in the back and that the security guard had blood coming out of his back and he was face down on the ground.


podcast.gcnlive.com...
--Radio talk show host Mike Rivero at whatreallyhappened.com says a reporter ask a police spokesman if the accused
gunman was wearing a "special police uniform." This indicates that an eyewitness identified the shooter as someone other than the designated patsy.


Is this why there is no video evidence of this event yet released?

Well, I hadn’t seen that yet, THX. Looking more and more like a psyop, particularly with all the hay being made of it in the media. It’s got me thinking that instead of looking for the next 911, we should be keep an eye open for the next OKC. People are now wary of joining a 'militia movement' like what was going on under Clinton, but they are preparing to be sure.

That is a great observation "Resistor"... Keeping the discusion and thread moving allows all to simply be aware of all views and their eyes open of thngs to look for as more and more attacks will be reported on subjects such as this.

Lee Harvey von Brunn?


One thing is very clear. This man was being watched by a lot of people:



www.nytimes.com...
Law enforcement officials said they have long been familiar with Mr. Von Brunn...

www.guardian.co.uk...
Joseph Persichini, assistant director of the Washington FBI field office, said Von Brunn was known to the police as an antisemite and a white supremacist.... Last night civil rights groups said they had been monitoring Von Brunn for decades.

www.washingtonpost.com...
Von Brunn went to the U.S. Naval Academy two weeks ago, anxious to express his unhappiness with the school's success in recruiting minorities to its incoming class. His visit came a few days after Vice Adm. Jeffrey L. Fowler, superintendent of the academy, said in an interview with The Washington Post, "Diversity is my number one goal." ...
Von Brunn arrived at the academy's main gate, which is three miles from his Annapolis apartment, May 29. He entered an administrative building and asked to meet with a senior official to express his dissatisfaction, an academy spokesman said. His request was denied, but he met with a staff member. He left without making threats, the spokesman said, but because of the "extreme views he expressed regarding minorities," his visit was reported to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

www.wlky.com...
Public records show that in 2004 and 2005 he lived briefly in Hayden, Idaho, which for years was home to the Aryan Nations, a racist group run by neo-Nazi Richard Butler.

www.cnn.com...
But by the late 1970s, (Heidi Beirich, a researcher for the Southern Poverty Law Center)Beirich told CNN, he had become a "hard-core neo-Nazi" and an associate of William Pierce -- the white supremacist leader whose 1978 book, "The Turner Diaries," is blamed for inspiring Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. ....von Brunn served his time in Ray Brook Federal Prison in upstate New York.

Thank you "Star" point well taken... Your additional sources prove a very well made point as well...

Awesome

So Von Brunn has a history of showing up places to run his head at people. All that would be needed is to supply some impetus to get him to the Holocaust Museum, have an old gun ready to throw down, and have your shooter ready and waiting. Something tells me that Von Brunn won’t be recovering from his injuries.

reply to post by resistor


Hmm "Resistor" I hear ya point, it does look like he will recover and will be made an example of. He will also be made one of the new poster childs of the right wing which bothers me to no end as a Libertarian. Thanks for sharing

www.washingtonpost.com...

Authorities say they found child pornography on a computer belonging to a white supremacist charged with shooting and killing a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

They are desperate to slander this guy. Next we'll hear he liked to kick puppies, too.

The FBI said in separate documents it found dozens of rounds of .22-caliber ammunition in a search of von Brunn's car.

They always find extra bombs, weapons, and ammo at the domicile and in the vehicle of the patsy. This is to close the "circle of guilt" in the public's mind.

They also found business cards advertising a Web site that claims the Navy's USS Liberty was "brutally attacked" by Israeli forces in 1967.

Wow. I didn't know that that attack didn't even happen.

The other thing is that they have villianized white folk who like to live with other white folk. And of course that makes them Nazis, which in turn makes them "anit-semites".
This is meant to mean Jews, but most Jews are not Semites....so it really means to hate Arabs.

So they cannot just say James Von Brunn, they have to say, "racist, white separatist neo Nazi", just to cover all their emotive triggers.
