Read this. For those of us doing the work we do, this is quite typical, but for the uninformed and misinformed, it is a shocker:
I just came back from a book tour in Italy, where I’d no access to English-language TV news. So over my last breakfast, in Piacenza, my editor related the horrifying story dominating the Italian headlines. The day before, an ethnic Senegalese bus driver had kidnapped the 51 12-year-olds in his charge and poured petrol down the vehicle’s center aisle. He forced the three other adults to bind the kids’ wrists with zip ties. He confiscated everyone’s phones. Yet one student snatched a phone the driver missed. The child surreptitiously rang his mother, who contacted the police. When the cops corralled the bus, the driver rammed their cars. After carabinieri forced open the bus door and broke a back window to begin to release the children, the immigrant ignited the petrol. The bus went up in flames. The children managed narrowly to escape, as the bus cremated to a black shell. The driver claimed to be protesting against migrant deaths in the Mediterranean.When later that day I return home to London, my husband mentions that he’s seen the story in the breaking news section of the New York Times website. So I go to my NYT app, and oddly find no mention of this extraordinary near massacre. I resort to the website: absolutely nothing on the paper’s long, extensive home page — where I note that the vandalizing of five Birmingham mosques (ugly, but at least life and limb were never at risk) enjoys pride of place up top. I go separately to the ‘world news’ section. I scan down about 20 articles. Nothing. But a button at the bottom says ‘more’. I hit that. Several more articles down I finally locate ‘Italian driver sets school bus on fire after kidnapping students’.And get this! After two tiny, one-sentence paragraphs sketchily thumb-nailing the incident, the article spends all but one of the following six paragraphs detailing the terrible statistics for migrant deaths in the Med, effectively making the driver’s case for him. We only get the full lowdown on what happened beyond the article’s midway point. You get the gist: the New York Times didn’t like this story, didn’t find it politically convenient, and buried it the digital equivalent of six feet under.Yet since we’re dwelling in the realm of the counterfactual this week, imagine the same news item with the roles reversed. A white, right-wing, native-Italian Salvini–supporter kidnaps 51 black immigrant children to protest against migration from North Africa, has the kids tied up, attempts to burn all the children alive, and very nearly succeeds. Now. Where does the Times put this story, and how hard is it to find‘?

And all the talk about real news and fake news… this is the news that reveals where the real and fake news truly are located, and the biased reporting and propagandized agendas! All these fake news ‘spinners’ are going to drill themselves a hole right down to hell!

Yep, and doin a bang up job of it. Subversion 101.
I knew this guy many years ago, he was in North Africa during WWII. He said the flies around their camp were horrendous, and even with a screen around the mess, they were a constant nuisance while eating. Someone had the brilliant idea of setting up a place a couple of hundred feet away with all kinds of scraps and gunk to attract the flies away from the mess. Obviously he wasn’t alone with his idea because they did it. The resulting inundation of flies made it impossible to do much of anything, much less eat. Where before a handful of flies could be shushed away, now a hundred of them attacked every forkful before they could get it from plate to mouth.
Many of the idiots in the Left camp, seem to think that they are the ones fighting to make America great and that the Right are the ones who need to be put down. We are the fascists. We are the problem. Our alternative media needs to be silenced. They all proclaim free speech but only if it’s all friendly like, yet are the first ones to start a fight. The blindness and hypocrisy is staggering and with the passive censorship like this and the aggressive censorship of social media, these people will become even further entrenched in their stupidity and ignorance. It is already impossible to talk to them and that’s been with little censorship in the past. (You thought I was going to tie the flies into this – nah, just for your entertainment).

If at this point one still believes they can get actual information from the NYT (or any other traditional major media source) they’re hopeless. Turn that crap off, you should have done it years ago…

A black muslim migrant bus driver (Ousseynou Sy) from Senegal tried to kill 50 innocent white school children in Italy because “evil” whites are to blame for African black emigration. Most African blacks from all over Africa continue to blame whites for all their problems; African blacks would have been peaceful and happy if the white man had left them alone in the stone ages. Ousseynou Sy has been brainwashed by marxists and muslims. https://www.thelocal.it/20190323/italy-bus-hijacker-says-he-heard-voices-of-drowned-migrant-children

Carlos Slim, Mexican billionaire, one of the world’s richest men, is an Arab of Lebanese origin, and a great fan of Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas and the rest of their ilk. He loaned the NYT $50 million in the 90’s and then converted it to stock. He owns and controls the NYT today and it reflects the view and objectives of the jihadists. The NYT needs to be seized, a new editorial board appointed, and restored to its former glory. Today,it is a propaganda vehicle for the Jihadists.

There are indeed the face of it, but like a hydra, only an extension of a very powerful body of Satanic worshipers behind the onslaught of evil gripping most of the West and other parts as well. I don’t need to tell you where America would be had the murderess made it to the WH. That escape was right out of God’s “mission impossible” playbook.

I believe this story was on one of Britain’s biggest website. Won’t name it because they keep deleting my comments. I don’t read rarely any American web news sites for obvious reasons. They are WORTHLESS CRAP. So I can’t vouch whether they printed this story.
So, I knew about this attack. This one was a crazed Negro just like the recent LYFT story and the Howard Beach story all Negroes who brutally raped and murdered young white promising women.
The Negro who set fire to the school children bus was a known pedophile. I guess he got the job because we have to be politically correct. He almost KILLED all those children.

It is like the reality that the Australian dude who killed a lot of Muslims recently in New Zealand was an admirer of the Peoples Republic of China and not really a right-winger! One thing that can be said about the Peoples Republic of China is that they don’t have issues with Islamics doing these kinds of terrorist things there because they suppress the Islamic religion in brutal ways!
Personally, in a perfect world of logical thinking, while we civilized countries have to tolerate Islamic religious practice, we should make the Islamics be brutally honest about what their “Perfect Man” Muhammad espoused! I think that on their public signs and exterior doors it would be appropriate that Islamic worship and community centers should have to list their objectionable Hadiths and reference the Sunnas where they are from so all going in there would know what they are espousing & could research what they are getting themselves into!
The Italian security forces did a good job it sounds like! They reacted to save those kids! I question if here in the USA, in some Dim-ocRATic run communities if the security forces would do as good a job due to fears of political correctness!
There should be an investigation of the Mosque that this freak went to where security personnel should strip that Mosque down to behind the bare walls at its expense and close it for a couple of weeks for a security screen! All this bus driver’s associates and Islamics from where he was from in Senegal @ that Mosque should have to take a Sharia test of their beliefs and those who agree with what this man did need to be deported! We might have to tolerate Islamic Practice but belief in the Islamic Sharia should be enough to deny someone citizenship in a civilized nonMuslim country where they can be sent home or just exist as Permanent Residents for the rest of their lives!
