CNN Hits Heather Nauert for Interviewing Robert Spencer

24

Opposing jihad terrorism and Sharia oppression is a big taboo these days. President Trump has chosen Heather Nauert to replace Nikki Haley as the United States ambassador to the United Nations, and CNN is in a fine froth. The Daily Caller reported Monday that “CNN launched an attack on President Donald Trump’s pick for United Nations ambassador, Heather Nauert, that inadvertently turned the microscope on itself.” CNN hit Nauert for a 2009 Fox News presentation called “Terror from Within,” featuring Frank Gaffney, Tarek Fatah, and me. Yes, that’s right: seventeen years after 9/11, the establishment media is trying to destroy someone by associating her with people who oppose jihad mass murder.

The Daily Caller notes CNN’s hypocrisy: “A review of interviews on CNN reveals that they have, in fact, interviewed Gaffney, Spencer and Fateh [sic] on multiple occasions. CNN’s most recent interview with Spencer occurred in 2015 — six years after Nauert interviewed him for the webcast.” So once again the fake news propagandists at CNN trip on their own feet.

But the real issue here is that CNN propagandist Andrew Kaczynski, the author of CNN’s hit piece, actually believes that he can ruin Nauert’s chances of becoming ambassador to the UN by associating her with opponents of jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women, gays, and others. State Department deputy spokesman Robert Palladino played into the hands of those who hold this warped perspective when he told CNN that when a journalist interviews people, that “does not mean the moderator agrees with the views expressed.”

What Palladino should have said is that the interviewees were opponents of jihad terror and Sharia oppression, and defenders of human rights for all people, and anyone who thought that was wrong was suffering from extreme moral confusion.

The fact that opposing jihad terror carries a stigma in the public square today is an illustration of the insidious power of propaganda, and an indication that some extremely insidious forces are operating at CNN and other establishment media outlets. I wish my memory were as good as Kaczynski’s smear files. I remember going to the Fox offices with Gaffney, Fatah, and the courageous ex-Muslim Nonie Darwish, and having a lengthy meeting with Roger Ailes and a long table full of Fox producers, and being annoyed with myself for having forgotten (as I nearly always do) to bring business cards. I don’t remember this hour-long show about stealth jihad at all. But CNN and Hamas-linked CAIR, their memories are elephantine; they would have you believe that this is practically the only show Heather Nauert ever hosted, and one of the few noteworthy things about her.

Gaffney and I, says Kaczynski, are “anti-Muslim activists,” which must mean that foes of the Nazis were “anti-German.” Seeing this, I wrote to Kaczynski on Twitter: “Hi @KFile! How did you come to believe that opposing jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of women, gays and others was not only wrong and evil, but so wrong and evil that you decided to use it to try to destroy Heather Nauert?” And: “Hi @KFile! Can you demonstrate that anything in my book ‘Stealth Jihad’ is false? We know that you hate what’s in it, because you think opposing jihad mass murder is wrong, but can you prove anything in it to be untrue? I’ll send you a free copy, since I know you haven’t read it.” He did not respond, of course. Leftists know they would be destroyed in discussion or debate on the facts, and so they studiously avoid both.

Heather Nauert may or may not be confirmed as U.S. ambassador to the UN, but this tired CNN piece shows yet again that the Left is at war with reality, desperate to convince people that there is no actual jihad threat, and that the real problem is “Islamophobia.” Unfortunately, the jihadis keep forcing them to be all the more insistent with this propaganda to drown out the sound of terrorist bombings and cars running down pedestrians to screams of “Allahu akbar.”

President Trump is to be commended for keeping a grip on reality in the midst of this din of lies.

CNN provides fake-news, pro-Islam propaganda, the truth holds no weight, CNN is unethical and a racist entity. CNN from its precipice to its basement dwellers will make Nauert’s life hell for giving a voice to Robert Spencer who speaks the truth regarding the Cult of Death. Nauert will likely serve a penance to maintain her job, but there is legitimate news, the truth outside CNN and its MSM counterparts.

Anyone whose news source is CNN or the others of the MSM is either semi-comatose or a mindless, directionless drone. To be a fly on the wall in the inner-sanctum of CNN’s overlords could prove amusing.

There should be a global official government news-source to expose the crimes of today & present history truthfully.
Few known that Hitler was Muhammadist, that unjust Muhammad declared Africans slaves & that today Africans are enslaved from Saudi Arabia to Mauritania, atheists tortured by Muhammadists & girls forcibly declitorized by Muhammadists.

Heather Nauert can hold her own.

Nauert, 48, is an unorthodox choice for the UN role given that she had little experience in government or foreign policy before joining the administration in April 2017 after several years as an anchor and correspondent for Fox News, including on the “Fox and Friends” show watched by Trump. Haley also didn’t have foreign policy experience when she took the UN posting, but she had twice been elected governor of South Carolina.

Nevertheless, Nauert has gained Secretary of State Michael Pompeo’s trust after being excluded from the inner circle of his predecessor, Rex Tillerson. I don’t like this – She is also closely aligned with Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, and her husband Jared Kushner.

Javanka loved Mooch too and he was a foul mouthed disaster as a Communications Director replacement.
Heather has more sense. When she holds a presser or chairs a meeting, she reminds me of Nurse Ratchet.

Once again Spencer’s speaks of and to reality. The Medias failure
to see and speak to that reality is mind boggling. Islamophobia is not simply an
irrational position to take when the horrific conduct of the Islamic radicals
is justified by their inane belief system that promotes violence over peaceful
result. I see it every day on the media stations broadcast by CNN, MSNBC and
others as I channel thru the respective networks. I commend people like Spencer
who will talk and write the truth and I wish
him and those like him success is presenting their important message to the
people who will be most hurt by those who refuse to recognize that truth, or
are motivated by other interest to ignore it.

…those who hold this warped perspective…

Is it the well-known defense mechanism called “denial” that maintains such a “warped perspective?” The answer doesn’t matter much. What is important is creating something, I don’t know what, to penetrate the denial. I know how I moved from a liberal-by-default to a conservative: it was when I quit my job, was driving around the country and had the time to listen to Rush Limbaugh daily. This was 1991-2. Is there some single thing that can convince large swaths of people with “warped perspective(s)?” I do not know.

In the land of the free, by what mechanism can control over the institutions predicated on protecting the foundations of freedom (speech) be exercised without violating those same freedoms, yet unchecked, these same institutions are violating the freedoms of all and by default will bring ruin to the very foundations they were intended to protect.
Totalitarian regimes of course have no difficulty exercising such control, but just as obviously, have also usurped already the freedoms needed for a healthy society. Truly, a deadly “catch 22” predicament
The talking heads we see in the MSM are not the front-lines to this insidious subversion. Corruption flows top down and the rhetoric from that top, whoever they may constitute, and as expressed, are decidedly anti-American and anti-freedom.

Perhaps at one time, America had two parties representing her foundations and future, but no more. It should be evident to any sane person that the Left has abandoned those foundations and intently want to take the US to a radically altered identity. In spite of their homage “to serve”, their intentions to subvert are being increasingly exposed, yet how sad a commentary on the people that they gave these usurpers control over Congress.
Obviously, if the MSM promoted Trump’s accomplishments and hence America, or even if they simply respected the office of the President, the general perception of the people would be dramatically altered, and foundations may actually have been restored. Once again we see propaganda serving the few and victimizing the many, yet an end is indeed coming.

Gaffney and I, says Kaczynski, are “anti-Muslim activists,” which must mean that foes of the Nazis were “anti-German.”

I appreciate that people like Robert Spencer, who are spokesmen for the anti-terrorist, pro-Israel right, must tread softly on the subject of islam and its followers, that they must follow the line that ‘it is only the extremists, the radicals, that we attack, not the hundreds of millions of peaceful muslims’ because to be completely truthful would be politically toxic.

I do not suffer from such politically correct constraints. I do see ‘the muslim’ as an on-going and existential threat to me and my society. That is every muslim alive on the Earth today and his children and their children for ever, ad infinitum, in perpetuity, so long as the koran remains the way to islamic paradise.

There are no ‘moderate’ muslims, only muslims who follow to the letter the commands of their holy book. One cannot be a muslim otherwise. And that book is a poisonous and exclusive text that demands death for all non-believers.

To say that ‘foes of the Nazis were “anti-German”’ is perfectly true to people like myself who grew up during that war which was waged by Germans against English people like me. YES!! The Germans were the enemy, and some of them happened to be Nazis, and I grew up wanting to see as many Germans killed as possible so that we could live as free people. Now the war is over and the Germans defeated and Nazism driven underground, I do not see all Germans as my enemy any more, because most of them want to be at peace with the British. But every muslim I see in the street is my enemy and he will remain so until he is either no longer a muslim or he is dead.

Do you think that Mr. Spencer is hiding his true thoughts about the existence of “hundreds of millions of peaceful muslims?”
