The terrorist who attacked at Ohio State yesterday was Abdul Razak Ali Artan, a Muslim refugee from Somalia who arrived in the USA two years ago. The killer made clear his motives by posting on Facebook ahead of the attack. The post told the USA to stop "interfering with other countries, especially Muslim Ummah". Somalia, as is the case with Syria, is a place for which it is essentially impossible to vet those who are entering the USA as refugees.
Last night, the mainstream media went into full coverup mode. We were told that authorities are not sure if this was a terror attack. After all, it might be a "lone wolf" attack. Of course, there is no difference between the two, but that does not stop the media from pretending that there is. Next, the media pretended not to know the motive for the attack despite the Facebook post. When all attempts failed to portray the killer as some misguided youth who was unrelated to Islamic terror, the media just dropped the story. This morning, I looked at the front page of the New York Times. The terror attack did not make it there. It became a non-story because it does not follow the terms of the narrative pushed by the mainstream media.
I am looking forward to January when we will have a president who will deal honestly with the terrorism problem. That will not stop the media from doing their usual dance, but it will make it that much harder for them to succeed in burying the truth.
