[ April 26, 2024 ]
I can still smell the scent that would hit my nose the moment I walked into my grandfather’s carpet shop in Glendale, California. It was a thoroughly exotic scent, a smell that was utterly foreign in the America that was outside the front door of his shop. The scent was the cumulative bouquet of hundreds of thousands of wool threads that had been hand-dyed and woven by young girls into carpets that must have come from at least 10 different countries in Central Asia and the Middle East. My grandfather had survived the Armenian Genocide. He lived to come to California, and once there, he opened a very small rug shop that probably only other Armenians knew about.
That shop was my grandfather’s home. He had fled Armenia, literally walking and running southeast for a couple of weeks, and he was the only person from his district, from his village, from his street, and from his family that, as far as he knew, made it out of Armenia alive. To my knowledge, my Armenian grandfather never received a card, a letter, or a phone call from any friend or relative outside of Glendale. As far as we know, no one else survived.
It is quite common in the Middle East and in Turkey for the younger boys of a home to be charged with getting up early to see to it that the family’s goats get out for their morning grazing. Often the older brother will mentor the younger on these things, but on that fateful morning, for some reason, my grandfather’s older brother did not go with him. On that day, he took his goats up into the hills alone.
Story continues below advertisement
He moved his goats up the trails and out over the slopes, and he had been grazing for a while before he heard the first sudden, reverberating, heavy popping sound. My grandfather told me this by acting it out with his fist, going, “Pa!” He also told me that when he turned into the direction of the sound he immediately saw the smoke. I was very young when he told me these things, and what is indelibly chiseled into my memory was the way in which he told me. It was his sense of time and how he recalled it. My grandfather told me about what happened back in Armenia when I was about the same age as he was when it happened to him. However, he told me these things as if it were something that had happened to him just the day before. Yet it wasn’t yesterday. It all had happened 50 years before the moment he decided that he needed to tell me. My grandfather had a very heavy accent, and you had to really listen. I remember the moment when I realized that my mom was suddenly not there, so they must have come to some kind of an agreement over his telling me about the massacre of our family.
When he heard the shot and saw the smoke he started to run back to his house hoping somehow his goats might follow him. Once down from the hills, he entered the road that ran by the left side of his home. He told me that when he arrived alongside his house, it took time for him to understand what it was that he was looking at in front of him on the road.
He saw his oldest sister first. He could not tell if her clothing had been torn off or burnt off. It looked to him as if after the Turkish soldiers were finished they poured fuel on her and set her on fire. Later, he realized that she had probably been alive when they did it.
At that time when he saw her, he told me that he remembered his mind struggling to comprehend what he was looking at. He fought to find the right words to explain to me that after he saw his oldest sister, he turned to look up and he saw that farther out into the middle of the street that crossed the one he was on and that ran in front of his home, he saw his other older sister. There was no clothing on her or anywhere around her on the ground. Both were charred black.
After walking a little bit farther forward, he could look down the road to his right where just at the edge of his village to the southeast, he could see a dust cloud rising from where the Turkish soldiers were leaving. He later realized that the Turkish soldiers probably could not see him because of the smoke from the burning houses and burning bodies.
Then he told me that he turned to the right more still to look at the front of his home, but the next things that he told me that he saw were two round objects placed side by side on the doorstep of his house that again he couldn’t put together in his mind what he was seeing. After looking for some time, he understood that what he was looking at were his brother’s and father’s heads placed side by side on the entryway step. My grandfather, as well as he could, told me that once his mind pieced together what it was that he was seeing, he then suddenly realized that for him to go inside to look for his mother, he would have to step over his big brother’s and his father’s heads. He told me that he wasn’t sure how long it took him before he was able to do that.
Once inside, he saw the blood all over the floor, and his mother, with her apron and dress still on but slashed open, was spread out on the floor and over in a corner. They didn’t set her on fire or behead her. My grandfather’s English was all self-taught, and so the ability to understand his accent and his own idiomatic usage of English was an acquired skill. Through his broken English and heavy accent, my grandfather told me that they did not tear off her apron and clothing because after they slashed her several times with their Turkish swords, her intestines fell out. Then, rather than behead her, they used them to strangle her. My grandfather said that was how he found my great grandmother, and although it took his mind a while to comprehend what he was looking at, he told me that it appeared that she had been struck with several sword slashes that ultimately caused her own bowels to fall out and onto the floor. They used her own intestines to strangle her, or for fun, as perhaps she was already dead when they wrapped them around her neck. My grandfather told me that after he saw her like that, nothing after made him cry, although he did cry once after he finished telling me this.
Once back outside he found the remains of his big brother’s and father’s bodies on the other side of their house. Maybe there were other people around, but he didn’t remember seeing or hearing anyone. All he could remember was what he saw done to his sisters, his brother and father, his mother, the smoke, and the smell of burning skin.
When my grandfather, an Armenian Christian boy, was about 14, perhaps 15 years old, he dug separate holes in the ground at night for his two sisters, then for his brother and his father, and then one final hole for his mother. He covered them with things from his house and buried them as well as he could. Then, on the first night after all that, he began walking and running southeast towards Eastern Syria, and eventually down into Iran. My grandfather walked by night from what is now Eastern Turkey all the way to Tehran, Iran.
When I think of my grandfather’s voice telling me all this, his heavy and ever so wonderful thick Armenian accent, it all calls to mind the scents of his carpet shop. I can still remember that smell.
As he finished telling me what happened to him back in Armenia, I saw a tear. Where that tear came from was this. He finished by telling me in a whispered somber confession that he had no pictures to show me who my grandaunts, granduncle, and who my great grandparents were. He was deeply ashamed of that. The only thing I know about my Christian family in Armenia is that my grandaunts were raped and burned alive, my granduncle and my great grandfather were beheaded, my great grandmother was cut open with swords, and in that horrific pain was assuredly strangled with her own intestines. All I know about their lives is how they were savagely massacred.
I had to look up the word in English for a “grandfather’s sister” and a “grandfather’s brother.” That was my mistake, they are not my uncle and aunts, but according to my dictionary, “grand uncle” and “grand aunt.” Frankly, I have never heard the words.
I suspect that a significant number of Jews do not know that the method, process, and transportation systems and network deployed to transport Jews throughout Europe to the camps came from ideas, processes, and systems brought back by German attaches and emissaries who had been assigned in World War I to the Ottomans, where it all had been developed for the Armenians. German engineers were helping Turkey survey to build roads and rail lines. Many of the photographs that we have today were locked up in the vaults of German engineering firms. That is why we have them.
I did not want to write this, yet I wrote it because I can see that the way the entire Islamic world covered up how my granduncle, grandaunts, and great grandparents in Armenia were horrifically massacred by the Turkish army is the very same way that the media of my own country is covering up how Muslims are still murdering Christians today, and because they were Armenian Christians, the Turkish Muslims even blamed them for their own barbaric murders. The Islamic world covered up the massacres back then, and now the very same types of people in the media are once again covering up more massacres of Christians today.

The LEFT hides it. The LEFT hates Christianity and Judaism MORE. They want the “people of the book” eliminated as well as western civilization. Islam is a tool to help them. You have to tear down and destroy before you can replace it with something else.

The cowardly and now predominantly shallow and stupid Western world has nothing with which to replace the Christianity and Judaism it is rejecting for materialism and valueless trash it calls ‘values’. Liberals who dominate the Western media, thus the vacant-eyed Wolf Blitzer, shallow, lying Chris Cuomo, vacuous-brained Joe Scarborough and disgusting little squirt George Stephanopoulos who suffers from delusions of cleverness, or those silly trashbags of The View whose views are not worth a penny for anyone’s thoughts, don’t believe in anything other than their fat salaries, possessions and shabby, shallow lives, so they will in their blind stupidity allow in Islam until it dominates them. Without vision they perish.

It is available in countless history books; but in this year – the centennial of the end of WW2, when the atrocities began – there definitely needs to be MUCH MORE info about the Armenian genocide available to and discussed with students and, indeed, the general public! We commemorate the hideous history of the Holocaust, during which time Jews and so many others perished; but because the atrocities against the Armenians were perpetrated by MUSLIM PIGS, the enemedia has nothing to gain (but the Truth!!) by exposing & discussing it. But this year is a good one for all of US to start memorializing this wretched destruction of humanity!

Yes (1918), but I don’t know the exact dates that the Turkish genocide of the Armenians began or ended (I seem to remember that it covered a multi-year period ending in the early 1920s). But whoever is a historian out there could be more precise!

Joy, Jerusalem was one of the first mega cities to fall to Arab rule in 638. Since that time, there has been an ebb and flow of Islamic murder against the Armenians, some wearing this kind of hat, others wearing that kind of hat. In this age, there is still no beginning, but a relative “visible murder.” Thus, in this period of history, you can see this age’s tide of hate against Armenians rise up in 1890-1896, the Hamidian Massacres, then again in the Massacre of Adana in 1909, then again in 1914 with the Turkish “Final Solution.” There is, however, no “when did it start” in this generation as it never ended when Jerusalem feel to the Arabs in 638 AD. Then, ironical as it is, Arabs and Turks fought for hundreds of years over who had the right to brutalize Christians and Jews. For this period of history, starting with the Hamidian Massacres of 1894-1896, it opens the veil to Adana 1909 which opens the floor to the attempted elimination of the nation of and the race of people known as Armenians.

WOW!! Really appreciate knowing that, albeit it’s a dreadful history, isn’t it? I remember seeing a movie years ago (at a film festival) that dealt with the Greeks in Asia Minor (in the early 20s?) and their struggles with the Turks. Bottom line: Islam has been a worldwide poison for 1400+ years!! And yet too many fools buy into the crap about the “Religion of Peace!” (“PIECES” is more like it!!)

Oh, the information of the Armenian Genocide IS available to anyone who really wants to see it…there is an abundance of documentation, despite the Turkish and German attempts to eradicate any evidence. An Armenia friend whose family survived has given me a large number of books from his library…
The media does NOT want to see the facts and documentation…because it might “offend Muslims”.

14 years old, and bumbling around in the dark to try to figure out how to put your father’s head with his body? Europe? America? Take a look at your future. Are you going to submit to Islam, or are you going to say no? If you are going to say no, then at some point you will have to say no. Most, by denying Muslim murder, are already submitting. With media like CNN, ultimately they are an arm of Time Warner, and Time Warner sits on top of the most expensive piece of land in New York. Consequently, they have already submitted to the House of Saud for stock investment reasons, thus the directives on what the CNN news staffer can actually is directed top down. Accordingly, Time Warner has already submitted to Allah, and thus the CNN staffer is actually not telling a lie per say, but is in the act of submitting to Islam. Which, if the House of Saud suddently sold all their stock across the board, the dollar value of these mega media conglomerates would plummet. They are not lying; they are submitting.

I read this and other reports on Turkish and other Muslim savagery, and marvel at the lack of anger among people of the Western world, especially people who claim to be Christian when it is their people who are the targets of Muslim demonic savagery. For myself I would like to have the whole bloody Muslim world incinerated for its savage cruelty, yet churches in Canada barely say a thing about the terrible suffering of Christians in Iraq, Syria, Nigeria, Libya, Egypt, Mali and many more places. The cowardly avoidance of the truth is astounding. I am astounded by why Western countries would allow such people to immigrate to their country. Wherever they go in numbers they create a cancer of first nastiness and then murder.

It truly is very disillusioning. When Grand Master of the Knight Templars, Jacques de Molay was unjustly burned at the stake by the criminal King Philip 1V of France with the conniving approval of the disgusting Pope at that time, De Molay laid a curse on both and both were dead within a year. How I wish a similar curse would be placed on Pope Francis, the leaders of most western European countries, Theresa May and Justin Trudeau – and the whole bloody Muslim world.

40, 000 Armenian children were taken from their parents, moved to the southern coast of the Black Sea, loaded onto barges, then tied together, and then once over deeper water, all of them, pushed into the sea. While the grandchildren of the people who did this refuse to admit they did this through one side of their mouth, the other side of their mouth demands religious freedoms when they move to the West.

The worst mistake the war-weary Western world failed to do at the end of World War 1 was occupy Turkey and eliminate hoards of these disgusting savages. Already some knew of the Armenian, Greek and Assyrian genocide, but failed to do anything about it. When God’s judgement finally falls on Turkey and the filth that is Recep Erdogan, I want to see it. Maybe Hagia Sophia will do us the pleasure of collapsing on a thousand or more Muslims.

I do not want to go off topic here, but I had a strong urge to do family history and research due to number of things…and to my great surprise, we were able to trace our family back to Armenian heritage in the 9th century…(no written records for family ties before that) It shocked us because we had no idea of the possible Armenian link. Most of the family ties left the region for France after the last crusade! Those that survived were driven out of Jerusalem by the Muslims…for the third time! No blood relatives, as far as we know, actually stayed in the Middle east in recent times..but we have traced some connected via marriage ties to the time of the genocide.
This gave our family a good reason to want to learn history and share with others!

The Armenian massacres serve as both reminder and example as to what can happen when powerful advanced Christian states are internally divided and distracted.
It doesn’t take a university education to be able to squeeze a trigger or pull the pin from some grenade, if your moral compass is dislodged, you can even slash an innocent throat on some woolly pretext and unless and until these things are understood the carnage will go on. Attacking the roots weakens the whole tree.
I think it true to say that each generation of people in the west will have challenges like these in their lifetimes, what matters above all is whether there is still enough courage and moral certainty to confront and overcome in our turn.
Never let Muslims and the left slide away from what both are accountable for here, it’s either them or us.

Excellent historic reminder!! Thank you for pointing out the perfidy of Ataturk, the so-called “secular hero!” I had not known earlier, when I first studied (albeit VERY briefly) about the early history of modern-day Turkey. And now I have a much greater understanding of and sympathy for the Greeks, who have been battling these Turkish bastards for generations!! Cypress is a blunt case in point! Finally, watching that little Hitler Erdogan trying (and, sadly, somewhat successfully) to Islamize his country and revert to all the inbreeding and treachery of Islam is infuriating and frustrating in the extreme!! Someone knock this evil POS out of his earthly life!!

They spent 90m to make it and the box office made 10m. The media companies economically crushed this film and that was a decision driven by who owns what stock in what media company. It isn’t really “fake news” and it isn’t really “censorship,” but rather a conscious act of submission to Islam. As it is said, “Submit to the gold or submit to the steel (coin vs. sword.” Curious that they want Americans to learn the Quran, but they don’t want them to learn Arabic.

It’s interesting that IMDB has no entry for the most recent The Promise about the Armenian Genocide but does have an entry for two other forgettable movies w/the same title.
Roger Ebert has an interesting review of this movie in which he mentions an Ottoman Lieutenant movie made w/”Ottoman interests” that introduces the theme that if there was an Armenian genocide the Armenians had it coming.

I have an 84 year old Armenian friend who’s parents escaped the genocide by fleeing to Lebanon…his parents were young, but his other family members were slaughtered…we went to see the Promise at a local theater, sadly we were the ONLY people in the theater…media would not publicize it…He told me that the movie was accurate…but, as horrific as it was, it did not show the true horrors of what was done…according to what he was told by the few survivors’s children who he grew up with…
There is a lot more to the history of Genocide of Armenians by the Germans and Islam Turks…which was carried into WW2 and the genocide of the Jews…and now to the Christians as describe…now covered up by the world’s liberal media.
I ordered the Promise DVD to share with family and friends…so they would informed….
We just put my Armenian friend, who is a retired Doctor, into a nursing home….Ironically, his dementia is so severe that he cannot remember anything now EXCEPT his youth and the history of Armenia and the genocide stories…
Do NOT let me meet anyone who is a denier of the genocide…I am afraid that we would not be very cordial, to say the least…if you get my drift….

What the Armenians went through is a prophecy of where America is going. The Armenian story is a voice from the future. Sadly, the day will come when someone will look you in the face and say, like Turkey has been saying for 100 years, that it never happened. That statement for them will become more expensive once the deniers begin suffering the same fate of those whom their words are denying justice. Today Islam is 1% in the USA. Sweden is now around 5%+, and we can see that when Sweden was but 1% Muslims were just “happy to be there, regular people looking for work and peace.” Yet, when they hit 5%, then, they began demanding that work and demanding that peace. Wait, dear Sweden, when it it 10%, for they can have more wives, and Swedish law about marriage is and will be irrelevant. Ms. Sweden, you forgot to read your history about Spain.

If you read the book ‘Slavery, Terrorism and Islam’, by Dr Peter Hammond, a South African who has travelled African extensively, seen Islam’s cruelty and ravages not least in Sudan where the government has a standing order to shoot him on sight, you will learn the progression of Islam in a society as their numbers grow.
The curse in the West is the now mindless stupid worship of ‘political correctness, tolerance, diversity, inclusivity, equity, diversity’, no demand that immigrants adapt and assimilate, and preaching the utterly disgusting nonsense gospel that “diversity is strength”. You have to be ‘mental’ to believe such rubbish, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau incessantly parrots this drivel and the mostly gullible population swallows and repeats this tripe. Unity creates strength and there is mostly little unity in diversity in which different ethnic groups ‘do their own thing’, co-exist peacefully enough, but largely live apart and don’t have an enormous amount in common.
This is a little of what Peter Hammond said:
“Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to
agitate for their religious privileges.
“When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well.
“Here’s how it works:
“As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.
“At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs……
“From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply……..
“At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world…..”
What we need in the West are governments like that of Myanmar that after having a guts full of murderous Muslim attacks and mass murders, expelled them from the country.
Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia have dad the guts and wisdom to deny more Muslim entry into their countries and have expelled either hundreds or thousands. They haven’t forgotten their countries’ either having to endure Muslim Ottoman rule, or like Poland fighting off the Ottomans for more than a hundred years and then in 1683 outside Vienna their King Jan Sobieski leading a crusader army that thrashed the Muslims. they then had more than 40 years of diabolical communist rule and now value their freedom.
The curse of the West is feckless embracing of ‘political correctness, tolerance, diversity, inclusivity, equity and diversity’ and no deep-seated belief in or spine to fight for democratic freedoms.

Thanks for this reminder. One of the great human tragedies, to this day denied by the lying Muslim vermin of Turkey, yet the West still extends to this vile piece of pigs excrement country with it mindlessly cruel Muslim citizens, an element of respect. They have no regard for human life other than those of Muslims – and the disgusting West just doesn’t ‘get it’. Some European Union member country’s leaders favour it joining the E.U. Barack Obama regarded Turkey’s vile leader, Erdogan, his best friend in the international community – and this liar then claimed he is a Christian! Let’s hope that Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia never relent on their stand against Muslim immigrants and open rejection of bloody Islam, and then eventually give the EU their middle finger. Meanwhile when Turkey’s troops recently crossed the Syrian border to attack Kurds who the spineless West in it’s usual half-hearted manner supports, why did Donald Trump not order retaliation to help the Kurds?

I know that the Kurds have a lousy history in respect of Christians and participated in the Armenian genocide, but the Kurds of this area seem to have happily accepted non-Muslims alongside them in the war against ISIS and Turkey, so I figure that with a bit of expediency prevailing it would be a good idea to help them slaughter Turks.

We must keep our weapons…”shall not be infringed”…means just that…

Thanks for this article, because the corrupt, craven, atheist left and their muslum masters want us all to forget the Armenian genocide.

The left, and schools, do not just cover this up. If and when (exceedingly rare occasions) the subject is raised … They deny it.

Neither UCLA nor its “history” department had any problems w/the fact a Turkish muslum knuckle-dragger denied the Armenian genocide. Fortunately some Armenians did and tried to blow up the Turkish muslum’s house.

” … tried to blow up …” That’s a travesty. If it could have only been “did”, as opposed to “tried” .. and that vile and filthy moslem was home at the time, a cause to celebrate.

The prof in question was a Turkish muslum and now that I think about his home was blown up but he wasn’t there when they did so. I actually took a class about early 20th century Turkish history from him and there was absolutely no mention of the slaughter of 2.5 million Assyrian and Armenian Christians whatsoever, not even in the “history” textbooks used for the class.

He isn’t a contributor to the Young turds, is he? They’re big into the denial of the Armenian and Assyrian genocide, perpetrated by turkey moslems.

I think the Turkish muslum prof is dead by now and enjoying his 72 virgins or little boys by now.

My father was a survivor of the Armenian Genocide. He left with his mother and brother. Father died. Mother’s side of the family had terrible turmoils too, and many relatives lost their family members through the worst possible ways. The Turks were the most barbaric horrendous evil murderers imaginable. This is what Islam does. This is Islam. As a note to all, the Armenians were disarmed, their young men drafted and then murdered, before the rest of the nation was exterminated. 2/3s of the Armenians perished in the Genocide. This Genocide is covered up. Hollywood has not covered it. It is not politically correct.

He must have been in shock. Seeing that would be hard to process.
This is not what normal civilized people do. What a painful memory that was. At least he survived and passed along the TRUTH to his grandson.

I don’t believe those people were armed. If they were armed they might have been able to fight back and at least extract revenge on some of them, and they might have been spared being tortured alive as the soldiers would be FORCED to kill them, or at least the victims could have been told to save one bullet for themselves.
That is why they want you DISARMED. The Demoncraps (aka communist) and lieberals want on Americans. It’s a SETUP, of course.
If you ever read stories about the Armenian massacre it is very troubling. Because it was PURE wickedness and NO mercy was shown. These are SAVAGES. Even equal to stories about what the American Indians did to the early settlers.
That is why I don’t care to go to Europe. It has been a savage hunting ground for thousands of years, back and forth of inhuman wars. Someone wants this on Europe again. With men BRED for HATE. Who never modernized or became civil. The backward inhuman Moslem who is now all over European soil.
That should tell you what is coming on the West in the immediate future. Get out of Europe.

This is just an horrendous account of Muslim Turkish savagery, and it’s just one of many such accounts. If anyone doubts that Islam is satanic and produces the cruelest of vile human excrement of the earth, they need to read this. And yet there are people in Europe who would have Turkey, a total ‘shit-hole’, lead by a ‘shit-hole’ leader, Recep Erdogan, accepted into the E.U. Western countries including the United States, are allowing people of this belief and mentality to immigrate into their societies. Have they, too, gone mad? Have they so lost their moral compass that accounts like this one don’t any longer make them angry or have a desire to utterly smash and rid the earth of such vile people? The totally disgusting Barack Obama. president of the United States – can we believe it?- ! pandered to and helped such people, he regarded Erdogan his best international friend, and yet he is still respected and glorified by the left, evidence of their contemptible state of moral destitution.

The above is typical of the atrocities Islam will implement when it has complete control. The history of Islam is filled with stories of atrocities as this. When thinking of who were histories most evil tyrants/villains- Mohammad tops my list. Other tyrants lived and died, but Mohammad’s monsters are still slaughtering.

If a religion does not respect individual rights it is nothing more than a cult of murder and destruction.

Dale, that is very succinct, – the media complains about Islam not being treated fairly, but they leave out the part about the Dome of the Rock being set where it is, while Islam, Hagia Sophia aside, destroyed over 1, 500 churches in Armenia. No Armenian terrorist group has ever set out to destroy it, and that is the real difference between the Armenian Christian and the Muslim.

Christ in the Psalms – The Rev. George Harper , B.A., London : 1862
Mahomet’s was an open and avowed rebellion . With fire and sword ,
and all the appliances of force , fraud , and deception , he and his followers
burst asunder the the bands of Christ’s sovereignty and cast away His cords .
There cannot be a second opinion , therefore , regarding his final and
complete overthrow . And it is , I think , evident that overthrow is near at
hand . Mohammadanism is wasting away , like the snow from the valley .
” The sixth angel is already pouring out his vial upon the great river
Euphrates ; and the water thereof will soon be dried up , that the way of the
kings of the east may be prepared .” If there were not a single prophecy
in the whole Bible relating to the ruin of Mohammedanism , the Scripture
under our consideration would be sufficient to convince us that it must be
destroyed . It has been an enemy to Christ , an arch-rebel to his legitimate
sway , and therefore must perish . No power in earth or hell can save it .
Its own character has sealed its doom .

I hope in the muslum friendly present of the 21st century Armenia is developing nuclear weapons and a high velocity method of delivering them.

Defenseless. Large scale or small. That’s what Clooney supports today in America. Just the beginning. Fear of guns doesn’t stop with just one measure. Fear still remains and soon enough requires more sacrifices be given up. It cannot stop there. The time to stop that is now.
