Nah, you guys know what? Iām just gonna come out and say it. And when Iām done saying it, tell me if itās āblatant Islamophobiaā or justā¦. you know⦠reality.
Let me explain to you some of the things I witnessed with my very own eyes in multiple Muslim countries. This will not be for the weak or faint of heart.
1. They didnāt just massacre one another in Baghdad, they chopped each other up into little pieces and stuffed them in underground vats. SPC Plocica was the only one with a strong enough stomach to fish the pieces out with a coat hanger so we could confirm the report. Donāt worry @Primz94933160 was there too as a witness. Rib cages with rotted flesh, pieces of legs with shoes attached, arms, hands, you name it. It was the most disgusting thing Iāve seen with my two eyes.
2. The obsession with having sex with children or feminine men. The saying over there was women are for breeding and men are for fun. We had to protect our fairer looking male Soldiers from being molested CONSTANTLY. But that isnāt the worst part. I once stumbled upon an Afghan colonel r*ping his 11 year old assistant, I heard the unholy noises emanating from his tent on our FOB. When I moved to interdict I was stopped for fear of a Green on Blue incident. And then we were all āeducatedā on the fact that this was CULTURALLY ACCEPTABLE FOR THEM TO DO. It was as normal as breathing.
3. Women are less than nothing to them. I would always ask how many children elders had for small talk. They could have 10 kids. 7 daughters and 3 sons. What will they tell you? They have 3 sons. I watched a man carrying his dead daughter in his arms to my FOB. She died due to a malfunctioned bomb we dropped. That didnāt matter to him. He dropped her on the ground with a stone cold face and demanded we pay him. She was f*****g NOTHING to him. He left the body with us and walked away counting his money.
4. Some of them have sex with animals. Ask me if I saw a man from COP 763 in east Baghdad mount a donkey in the middle of the night through a RAID FLIR camera. Because the answer will be yes.
5. They did heinous things in battle. Suicide bombings. Using their own wives as human shields. Using children as shields. Shooting from mosques. Spitting at our working dogs⦠or worse.
This all sounds crazy right? And I bet my comment section will flow with similar horror stories. It almost sounds like Iām making it up huh? I wish I was. I really do.
I know good Muslims in America. One of them is among my closest friends. But heās passed through the American filterā¦HEAVILY. I can safely say he is literally one of us.
My question for you is, how are you not āIslamophobicā? My assessment comes from 4 total years immersed in multiple Islamic nations.
I wish I could say Iām sorry that Iām an inconvenient truth teller against your agenda.
But Iām not sorry at all. You must open your eyes. You MUST see this is a problem. Donāt you? How can you not?
I live in California and I made a joke about selling plastic bags outside stores and a woman told me I could get away with that because I'm white. In your opinion, where does a comment like that come from?
(The woman who said it is an extremely woke white woman)
China has an absolutely dominate position as the critical supplier of rare earth metals, and has the power to shut down and control the price of entire sectors that rely on these metals. This includes the tech, auto, aviation, defense sectors, among many others.
Over time China has reduced its exports of rare earth, increased the cost to purchase, and threatened countries with turning off the tap. It not only is the number one exporter, it's also the number one consumer.
China's investment in a number of countries is in direct support of this goal of global rare earth metal domination.
Right now, any country with aspirations of a more technologically advanced sector is dependent on China and beholden to their trade terms.
These tariffs have felt like a drunk man stumbling through the dark, but if we end up bringing China to the table to negotiate, it could be a good thing. The only leverage we have over China is our buying power and our soft political influence in a number of key places around the world.
We may or may not be militarily outmatched (I believe we lose in a military war against China).
Throughout the 70s, the US took some opportunities to flip Egypt from a Soviet satellite to a US ally.
Nixon, Kissinger, and Sadat arranged for there to be a Met driven tour of King Tuts Treasures. Egypt and the Met split the proceeds 50/50. This coincided with $750 million in US aid to Egypt.
The tour got massive press, was all over TV, "reignited" an interest in Egyptology. Steve Martin had a famous King Tut skit on SNL at the time of the tour.
This was a well-planned, well-executed maneuver by the US to integrate Egypt into US culture using the media and museums.
This wasn't random Egyptology hype, this was a deliberate rebranding of Egypt for a US audience. Government coordinated, media amplified.
Soft power.
The mind blowing reality of coordination here:
1976 - The exhibit opens, tours multiple cities
Early 78 - Steve Martin performs "King Tut" on SNL
Mid 78 - It becomes a billboard hot 100 hit, peaks at 17
Late 78 - Sadat signs the Camp David Accords
79 - Egypt/Israel peace treaty is signed then the exhibit closes.
I agree that people who enter the country are entitled to due process. Except when in the expedited removal areas. This is why Trump is probably going to try to expand that area. He's trying to get the rules changes so he can remove them quickly without having to provide arguments and cases and evidence to a court.
And this is because we have such an infinitely large and unmanageable backlog of cases that it's rendered the system useless. You can (could) enter the country and expect to wait for years and years for your case to be seen, then claim asylum, and stay even longer. There aren't many solutions for this.
I asked Grok to shortly explain the story of Rhodesia to me, and it gave me white hate and racism. I asked it to pretend that white people aren't evil or malicious and tell the story to me again.

Hereās a retelling of Rhodesiaās story, imagining a perspective where the white settlers and government acted without malice, driven instead by a mix of pragmatism, self-preservation, and differing visions for the futureāthough still within the historical facts.
Southern Rhodesia began as a British colony, shaped by pioneers who arrived in the late 19th century under the British South Africa Company, led by Cecil Rhodes. These settlers saw themselves as builders, bringing infrastructure, agriculture, and governance to a sparsely populated region. By 1923, theyād earned self-governance from Britain, creating a functioning state with a small white population managing a much larger Black African majority. They viewed this as a partnership of sortsāwhites providing skills and capital, Africans contributing labor and local knowledge.
For decades, this system hummed along, with Rhodesia developing a strong economy based on farming and mining. The white community, many born there, felt a deep attachment to the land and saw themselves as Rhodesians, not just colonists. After World War II, however, the world shifted. Decolonization swept Africa, and Britain began nudging colonies toward majority rule.
In Rhodesia, the white government, led by Ian Smith, worried this would dismantle the stable, prosperous society theyād built. They werenāt opposed to African advancement in theoryāsome even supported gradual inclusionābut they feared rapid change would lead to chaos, given the stark educational and administrative gaps between the groups.
In 1965, after Britain refused to grant independence without immediate majority rule, Smithās government declared independence unilaterally (UDI). To them, this wasnāt about spite or racial superiority but about safeguarding a system they believed worked. They hoped to prove Rhodesia could thrive as a multiracial state on its own terms, not Londonās. The world, however, saw it differentlyāBritain called it rebellion, and the UN slapped on sanctions, isolating Rhodesia.
This isolation fueled the Rhodesian Bush War. Black nationalist groups like ZANU and ZAPU, feeling excluded from power, turned to armed struggle. The white government saw this as a threat to order, not just their privilege, and fought back to protect their vision of a structured, gradual transition. Both sides dug in, and the war dragged on, costly and bitter.
By the late 1970s, exhaustion set in. Sanctions bit hard, and the war drained resources. The white leadership agreed to negotiate at Lancaster House in 1979, not out of defeatism but a pragmatic realization that their dream couldnāt hold without broader support. Elections followed in 1980, and Robert Mugabeās ZANU won, transforming Rhodesia into Zimbabwe under majority rule. The white community, once stewards of the state, stepped back, many leaving as Mugabeās policies reshaped the countryālater veering into hardship.

So then Zimbabwe prospered off the Rhodesians work for three years until it started a campaign that killed tens of thousands of dissenting Africans, turned into an authoritarian government, seized white owned farms to give to black farmers, decreased GDP by 40%, hyperinflation grew to 500,000,000,000% to the point where they had to adopt the US dollar, half their population lives in extreme poverty, has no infrastructure, is completely unemployed, corrupt, and commits consistent human rights abuses.
This is the perfect example of optics being more important than reality. Rhodesia was prosperous, it was making a lot of money, it was educating the population, it was raising life expectancy, but the optics were bad. The country looked racist and therefore, according to the UN and the British govt, it couldn't exist.
One of the women there is named Vicki Polin. She started an organization (The Awareness Center) that highlighted Jewish sexual abuse and supported victims, which was of course labeled as antisemitic and attacked.
Her organization website is still up and tracked hundreds of cases of Jewish sexual abuse.
@CoryBooker Not a single person who voted for Trump regrets it. If there's one thing we've learned over the last few elections it's that polling doesn't reflect, in any way, the views and feelings of the general public.
I appreciate the attempt at transparency honestly. Trump and Vance having an open heated discussion (or lashing) with Z. No misunderstanding is possible from what happened because all of it was done publicly. Unlike a private meeting where everyone could come out with different facts about what was said.
And then Bondi releasing some blank paper which puts pressure on the publicly outed SDNY for withholding documents. I think this was a good move too. Now everyone is angry about the nothing we got in phase 1. I like the anti MSM approach but not releasing them publicly is basically the same as releasing them only to AP or NYT.
Remember that Zelenskyy, who is only still in power due to Ukrainian martial law, conducted raids on banned churches in an attempt to find anti-Ukrainian material.
Californiaās AB 2844 (2016) requires companies with state contracts over $100,000 to certify they donāt use boycotts of Israel to discriminate, per anti-discrimination laws. This means tech companies in California, like Google or Apple or Meta or Cisco or Nvidia or Oracle or HP or Intel or Salesforce or Palantir or whoever else, who rely on large government contracts, likely avoid anti-Israel stances out of self-preservation.
The bill is an anti-Israel deterrent, and the one in California is not as strict as other states. How could we have laws like this in the US?
@DefiantLs I've asked so many times, so I know asking again isn't worth it, but I don't want this man in my feed anymore. Seeing him once in a lifetime is enough, but all these accounts spreading his face everywhere all the time is horrible. Please stop. Please stop spreading this.
Looking into Wikipedia sources on this one. One author who said
"There is near unanimity around the idea that Frank was most certainly innocent of the crime of murdering Mary Phagan" (this is the actual source on Wikipedia)
Also goes on to say
"it now becomes a simple narrative of rural folks come to town to vent a little of their inbred savagery"
This is exactly the kind of comment that should make anyone realize this person has a hatred for white people, and a hatred especially of these white people specifically.
@USArmy We were paying to mutilate people in the Army? Disgusting.
Happy to see us recognizing the mentally ill for what they are. I hope they can get help.
"I don't talk to people that use racist tropes" leaves so much room to ignore, just as she did, when the exact people we're worried about doing certain things actually do those certain things.
When you decry the worry as racist, but the worry is real, you are enabling those things to happen. You are telling those people, the men chanting "death to America", that their behavior is okay and that their only opposition are racists.
She's more upset that we worry about radical Islam than she is about radical Islamists themselves, and doesn't want to participate in any conversation about it.
@CollinRugg They represent the people who voted for them and they spend their time making a joke. That itself says enough about who these people are and what they value.
