JVLV: WHY IS HILLARY DOWNPLAYING NEW YORK BOMBING AS NOT TERRORISM? By Jiri and Leni Friedman Valenta
Unafraid, Bi-partisan, Uphold U.S. and Freedom
Did you happen to notice the way Hillary started to call the big, Chelsea New York explosion a “bombing” and then caught herself? She claims her hesitation is in the name of “caution,” but why not even consider that it’s Islamic terrorism? First of all, we are clearly discussing bombs -- three of them -- one in Chelsea, another five blocks away and a third hours earlier at the Marine marathon in New Jersey. They were built utilizing a pressure cooker with a cell phone attached and similar to those employed by the Tsarnaev brothers in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.
No, this is not just “caution” as she claims. It’s the Obama strategy to downplay Islamic terrorism and Hillary has adopted it. They have been doing it since 2012 Benghazi-gate. Originally, analysts believed the Obama downplaying of al Qaida was to avoid undercutting the pre-election narrative that Osama Bin Laden was dead and Al Qaeda decimated. But the fact that Obama, and now Hillary, have continued the policy raises questions.
Much pointed out is the Sun Tsu military strategy that you cannot win a war without naming the enemy. The enemy is Islamic terrorism, words clearly avoided by both Obama and Hillary right down to the present day. They are even reluctant to speak of “terrorism.” Notice that Hillary started to call the Chelsea Street explosion a bombing -- then caught herself. Mayor De Blasio, a radical Democrat, started out by saying the bombing was clearly intentional, but then downplayed it by adding, “We don’t have any proof it was related to terrorism,” His comments were sharply contradicted by a retired FBI man on TV. Nobody mentioned that around the same time in Minneapolis, a man screaming “Allah Akbar” stabbed seven people.
Neither was there any attempt to link the New Jersey bombing in the morning at the Marine’s marathon to what happened in Chelsea at night. All this looks like home grown terrorism, however, given our experiences in the past few years, we have to suspect Islamic connections. But we also have to ask a lot of questions as to why, in the face of increasing Islamic terrorist attacks world-wide and at home, it’s being played down by the present administration and the Democratic Party presidential candidate.
