New Yorker Prints Story about Disarming And Then Killing

The Real Revo – by Jim22

This is an ancient story. It has taken place many times throughout history. It illustrates perfectly the difference between people being armed and able to defend themselves and being disarmed and unable. It is exactly why would-be tyrants Always seek to disarm their subjects.

It is surprising that this was printed at New Yorker.

The fight for Mosul:

ISIS was telling everyone, ‘We’re all brothers,’ ” Abu Malik said. “They let people smoke and drink. At the checkpoints, they distributed presents to the kids. They ate with people, drank tea with people. They were very nice—they didn’t bother anyone. Then, a week or so after they arrived, they started confiscating weapons. They told us it didn’t matter if we’d been with the Awakening or the Army or the police—if we gave up our weapons, we’d be forgiven. Ten days later, they started taking people. Everything changed. They took my cousin. My brothers dug holes in the fields and hid. I was at my house when they came for me. It was afternoon. I saw two Hyundai Santa Fes pull up outside, and I ran out the back and jumped over the wall. That was the last time I saw my family.”

  1. “Then, a week or so after they arrived, they started confiscating weapons. They told us it didn’t matter if we’d been with the Awakening or the Army or the police—if we gave up our weapons, we’d be forgiven.”

    And you were surprised when they followed the same formula that has been repeated throughout history?

    You were perhaps expecting a different outcome?

  2. Little known to people outside the auto industry…the auto companies by law have to check buyers against a database of known terrorists….So the question is….who bought those sonatas….who bought all of the Toyota trucks….follow the money….proving who is funding ISIS is easy.
