HIAS (the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society) likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I'm going in.
Robert G. Bowers writing on GAB.com, a social media site preferred by what is known as the alt right wing, shortly before he entered the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh and murdered 11 worshippers.
Saying Robert Gregory Bowers is bat shit crazy is an insult to bat shit crazy people everywhere. After he had been taken into custody by the police he reportedly told one of them, "I just want to kill Jews. All these Jews must die."
He is so far out there when it comes to anti-Semitism he considers Donald John Trump a closet globalist who is controlled by an international Jewish conspiracy. In his online rants he went so far as to condemn The Big Orange Guy for not doing anything to stop the, "infestation," of the United States by Jews.
When he entered the synagogue Brother Bowers was armed with three hand guns and an AR-15 assault style rifle. It has been reported since 1996 he purchased at least six different weapons, all perfectly legal in this country and he has a license to carry each and every one of them. In addition, up until the very moment he opened fire, he had no known criminal record.
That has changed now. In court this morning he was charged with 29 felonies, including 11 counts of murder. Prosecutors are already talking about the death penalty.
It is unknown what drove Robert Bowers over the edge. Although it should be noted HIAS had recently appealed to his arch enemy, Don Trump to treat that caravan of Central Americans winding its way through Mexico not as an invading horde of criminals, but rather as asylum seekers looking for safety and jobs. It is unclear at this time how many of them might be Jews.
Bowers' virulent hatred of Jews has been on display for months on the GAB site along with the insane ravings of other uber right wing conspiracy wankers, including our old pal, Alex Jones. GAB proudly insisted--and still does--it is the last and best free speech outlet online where everyone's views are allowed no matter how vile they might be.
Well, not any more, at least not for a while. After the shooting GAB's domain provider, GoDaddy finally started reading the horrific bullshit posted there and gave them 24 hours to find a new home. The folks at GAB, which was established in August 2016, tweeted a couple of things about corporate censorship and left leaning CEO's then took themselves down. They promise to return somewhere on the web so their 635,000 users can continue to express their versions of truth, justice, and The American Way just like Bobby Bowers did.
Trump is repeating, ad nauseam, the bomb scares of last week and the shooting are the media's fault. Others politically close to him say the mail bomb terror was faked. Earlier today his advisor, Kellyanne Conway claimed, in Bowers' case, the shooting rampage was caused in part because of anti-religious late night TV hosts who continually denigrate people of faith.
Meanwhile the deadly loons at the NRA must be sighing with relief. Why not? After this newest mass shooting and thanks to those pipe bombs last week the media and White House seem more concerned with whose corrosive political language caused Bowers and Cesar Sayoc to turn violent rather than gun legislation.
Indeed, at this point only one reporter I know of has asked Trump about America's lax gun laws since the Saturday morning attack. Predictably he brushed the question aside saying the murder of 11 people wasn't a gun control issue and the synagogue would have been safer if there had been armed people inside it.
That's right, it would seem the NRA got a pass on this one. They won't even have to drag out all their tired old excuses and propaganda in order to enable the ongoing mayhem. One can almost hear Wayne LaPierre thanking God in heaven for the mid term election and the obsessive and divisive screeching swirling around it.
It is time to face the fact the United States, politically and socially, is quickly becoming a third world nation. The blue collar middle class has gone the way of the Dodo. The gap between the poor and the rich is widening daily and the vicious lies pouring out of the head of state and his aides are becoming institutionalized. Any media outlet which criticizes him instantly becomes, "the enemy of the people." The attempted murder of political enemies by a supporter is shrugged off as, "the bomb stuff," or described as a false flag operation perpetrated by a hide in plain sight cabal of usurpers.
And now we've learned even a dictator wannabe is considered too liberal for a select few living on the far edge of the conspiracy universe.
Yes, it looks like in America there are some people you can never out crazy. After the last three years why should any of us be surprised?

It would appear to outsiders looking in that we in the USA are undergoing a mass nervous breakdown. Why would they not feel that way? I am now fearing that we have some hard corrective lessons to learn as a society before America is "great again" in ways which seem unimportant to our leader. Sad and dangerous times, these.
