FBI admits it investigated YouTube Florida school shooting threat, but failed to identify author

Nikolas Cruz threat YouTube Florida shooting
In the latest humiliation for the scandal-plagued FBI - one which this time had deadly results - the FBI agent in charge of the Florida shooting probe admitted that the Bureau had investigated a school shooting threat made on YouTube last year but could not identify person behind it even though Nikolas Cruz used his real name to sign the threat. Perhaps it was too busy unmasking member of the Trump administration?

And so, nearly half a year later and long after one of America's most deadly school shootings, the FBI said on Thursday that it was finally investigating whether or not a disturbing YouTube comment reported to them in September was posted by the suspect in Wednesday's deadly Florida school shooting rampage.

A Mississippi man told CBS that he warned the FBI last September about a social media comment allegedly posted by Florida school shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz. Ben Bennight says he saw a comment on a YouTube video that troubled him and notified the FBI, Pegues reports. The comment on Bennight's YouTube video said, "I'm going to be a professional school shooter," Bennight said.

Comment: Context: RT reports that a Nikolas Cruz left a similar message (now deleted) under a YouTube documentary about the 1966 Texas University massacre.

In both cases, he signed as Nikolas Cruz. Yet the FBI couldn't find him?

From Twitchy:
NOT GOOD: FBI explains why it didn't do anything on the Nikolas Cruz tip in 2017

Officials and law enforcement are briefing the press in Parkland, Fla. right now and FBI Special Agent in Charge, Robert Lask, just explained that they couldn't identify Nikolas Cruz as the person who wrote in the comments on a YouTube video, "I want to be a professional school shooter":


From Lasky: ""The FBI conducted database reviews [and] checks, but was unable to further identify the person who actually made the comment."


And we're still waiting to hear more from YouTube:

Some 42,000 students attend UCLA, and whether many of them think "toxic masculinity" is a pressing concern is unclear, if the attendance at a recent campus forum on the subject is any indication.

When the UCLA Intergroup Relations Program recently hosted an event to allow the campus community to discuss "toxic masculinity," 10 students showed up.

Trans man risks adopted baby's health and life by attempting to breast-feed

trans man and baby
I've been saying this over and over again, but it seems like every day new evidence surfaces: The trans movement pretends to have the best interests of young people at heart, but the sad reality is that their movement is doing incalculable damage to thousands of kids. Beyond the psychological confusion, the mastectomies, the castrations, the hormone therapy, the halting or delaying of puberty, and the growing (although ignored) trend of "reverse transitions," there is also the simple fact that the trans movement is fundamentally claiming that they can transform reality. Thus you have a sudden and bizarre uptick in "pregnant men," which, as the kids like to say, isn't a thing.

But this recent story from the Daily Wire may just take the cake, revealing how dangerous and irresponsible trans activists can be-as well as showing that the progressive cheerleaders are perfectly willing to sacrifice the safety of children in pursuit of this new ideology:

Left-leaning bar owner in Vienna won't admit asylum seekers because of crime explosion

Bar in Vienna
Bar owners in Vienna are losing customers due to a surge of migrant crime. Some of them no longer seem to accept asylum seekers.

A "leftist" city magazine, called "Falter", did a test with a group of two Afghans and a Turkish man. The group of migrant men were not allowed to enter several Viennese bars. They were refused entrance because there were "too many people inside" or "there's a private party".

Later a control group of Austrian men could enter the same bars without problems. The editors of the magazine contacted the owners of the bars and told them about their "racist admission policy".

Author: Global warming and environmentalism scare has roots in Nazi tactics

Nazi Propaganda

A display of propaganda posters at the Holocaust Memorial Museum
Generally speaking, the first person in a debate who compares their opponent to Hitler or the Nazis at that moment loses the argument.

When the Third Reich is invoked, it's usually clear evidence that that person's position is so weak that they have had to resort to a gross misrepresentation of the other's position.

There are exceptions, of course, because sometimes the Nazi label fittingly applies. Sometimes the lineage of a movement, institution, or political figure can be traced right back to the German fascist regime.

This is the case with today's environmentalism, according to a one-time British investment banker.

"If you look at what the Nazis were doing in the 1930s, in their environmental policies, virtually every theme you see in the modern environmental movement, the Nazis were doing," said Rupert Darwall, author of "Green Tyranny," in a recent interview with Encounter Books.

Comment: Yet another facet of Western Liberalism that seek to subjugate, rather than liberate.

James Risen on his life as a NY Times reporter and getting leaked insider info by CIA veterans

I was sitting in the nearly empty restaurant of the Westin Hotel in Alexandria, Virginia, getting ready for a showdown with the federal government that I had been trying to avoid for more than seven years. The Obama administration was demanding that I reveal the confidential sources I had relied on for a chapter about a botched CIA operation in my 2006 book, "State of War." I had also written about the CIA operation for the New York Times, but the paper's editors had suppressed the story at the government's request. It wasn't the only time they had done so.

A MARKETPLACE OF SECRETS

Bundled against the freezing wind, my lawyers and I were about to reach the courthouse door when two news photographers launched into a perp-walk shoot. As a reporter, I had witnessed this classic scene dozens of times, watching in bemusement from the sidelines while frenetic photographers and TV crews did their business. I never thought I would be the perp, facing those whirring cameras.

As I walked past the photographers into the courthouse that morning in January 2015, I saw a group of reporters, some of whom I knew personally. They were here to cover my case, and now they were waiting and watching me. I felt isolated and alone.

Paris suburb of Trappes becomes ground zero in France's struggle with radical Islam

In front of the mosque En-Nour, managed by the Union of the Muslims of Trappes, Friday 1st April.
Once branded a "no-go" zone by authorities, the Paris suburb of Trappes has become a recruiting ground for Islamic State - and ground zero in France's struggle to integrate Muslims into its staunchly secular state.

According to French intelligence, 67 people from Trappes have joined the ranks of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIL/ISIS), while other radicalized residents have carried out attacks inside France.

It's safe to say that Trappes, which is situated 30km southwest of Paris, is not your typical French suburb.

Comment: Macron had better do the best he possibly can.
