California Muslim Convert ‘misunderstands’ Islam, beheads his foster grandparents in the cause of jihad

Posted on August 21, 2016 by Luke Ford

Alene Tchekmedyian, LATimes:

A 35-year-old man accused of bludgeoning his foster grandparents to death last year in their Glendale home using an ax and a hammer was held to answer Tuesday to capital murder charges.

After a preliminary hearing that lasted under two hours, a judge ruled there was enough evidence to move forward with a trial against Nathaniel Scheiern, who police said was infatuated with and influenced by radical Islamists when he attacked his grandparents after attending church with them one weeknight in June of last year.

His public defender, Christina Behle, declined to comment on the case, but suggested during cross-examination of a detective that her client had been molested by his grandfather at a young age. Police called the allegations “unfounded.”

The homicide investigation began on the morning of June 28 of last year, when Scheiern’s sister called and asked Glendale police to check the well-being of her grandparents, who lived with Scheiern in a single-family home in the 600 block of Alexander Street.

When the first officer — one of four who testified Tuesday — arrived at the home, he found the front door ajar and several newspapers stacked on the porch. A foul order emanated from inside, where in a bedroom, the carpet and walls were covered in dried blood.

Investigators found two decomposing bodies under a blanket on a twin-sized bed in that room. They were later identified as William and Verna Scheiern, 77 and 82 years old, respectively.

On the floor a few feet away, police found a bloodied hammer. Against a wall in the living room, they found an ax, with dried blood on the head and handle.

That day, police tracked down Nathaniel Scheiern to the Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital emergency room, where he was being treated for injuries after a car crash on June 25, the day after the killings.

When he was released from the hospital a few days later, he was arrested on suspicion of murder.

During an interview with detectives at the Glendale police station that day, Nathaniel Scheiern confessed to killing his grandparents and trying to behead them after they’d attended an event at Calvary Bible Church, Glendale Police Det. Jeff Davis testified. The elderly couple frequented the church about twice a week.

NYT: Affluent and Black, and Still Trapped by Segregation

Posted on August 21, 2016 by Luke Ford

New York Times: “Why well-off black families end up living in poorer areas than white families with similar or even lower incomes.”

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Why life is just so very hard for wealthy, upwardly mobile blacks. They are still victims!

* The terms “wealthy” and “affluent” are intentionally misleading so the writer can tell us about the screwed up finances of black professionals without worrying about a backlash. Nearly all of the families have housing issues with at least one having had a foreclosure.

The St. Louis Federal Reserve released a report showing that black and Hispanic college graduates have a high debt to income ratio, and have seen a negative change in net worth and income over a 20 year period. Home ownership has never been a source of wealth for blacks on average.

* That article was very biased, unbalanced and quite puerile. The NYT seems to be really poor journalism.

* I agree, it was a mess of a report. Much fluff and stuff pulled together that did not satisfy the supposed premise of the article. If the families profiled merited being part of some news report it would be a look at various housing issues in Milwaukee, in which race played perhaps some part.

The mention of car break-ins made me laugh. I live in a comfortable part of a major West Coast city and car break-ins in this neighborhood (and all over the city) are off the wall. Also too many street robberies with a gun in use, and too many home break-ins, “hot prowls” and too great an incidence of home invasion.

Steve Sailer: Black Lady Sprinters Are Really Black

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Edwin Moses was a physics and engineering major at Morehouse. Morehouse had a track team but no track. Moses had to use the track at public high schools and pretty much coached himself. He ran the 120-yard and 440-yard hurdles, switching to just the 400m hurdles a few months before the 1976 Olympic trials. The Montreal Olympics was his first international event, where he won gold and set a world record.

After graduation he worked for General Dynamics. Soon after Moses was instrumental in changing eligibility rules, allowing athletes to receive funding.

Moses’ son (white mother) plays Division II college volleyball at Lewis University and is a physics major. Moses’ father played football at Kentucky State, taught math and science and was an elementary school principal. His mother was supervisor of instruction for the Dayton, OH public school system.

* Edwin Moses was also touted as an example of the benefits of Alexander Technique training by teachers of the Alexander Technique.

* “Individual athletes with perception and insight, like the great Ed Moses or Joan Benoit, who have added the Alexander Technique to their training routines are rewarded with a sense of mastery over their own bodies, and faster more flowing action.” (Petersen, Vicki, The Strategies of the Champions, Pan Books, Sydney:1988)

* Edwin Moses was also an example of who or what we thought we were agreeing to when we decided to lower the barriers that kept the black race from advancing in our Great Society.

We were victims of the old bait and switch.

* The biggest factor hindering the running speed in women is the width of their child bearing hips. So the best female runners will come from the populations with the narrowest hipped women presumably from populations that give birth to the smallest headed babies.

* White men, David Bowie and Robert De Niro to the contrary, don’t seem to find Black women even the Beyonce types that attractive. What seems to sell is the pretty, paler, more White or Asian women: hurdler Michelle Jeneke, the pole vaulters (all women’s pole vault medalists were very pretty and very White), women’s beach bikini volleyball.

Its interesting to see how that sorts out — tall athletic (often lesbian) Black women go into Basketball, and those straight, relatively pretty, and tall and athletic go into beach bikini volleyball; where careers seem longer and money/endorsements more lucrative.

For some bizarre reason sponsors when they come down to it, are not all that eager to to associate female-oriented consumer products with taciturn Black lesbians. Can’t figure why!

* The exception are Muslims who are so toxic that they still commit terrorist attacks even when they make up less than 1 percent of the host nation that they have immigrated to like The U.S.

With all of the Jihad that they have committed on our soil, you would think Muslims made up way more than 0.9 percent of The U.S population.

For such a small demographic, Muslims with U.S citizenship punch way above their weight when it comes to homegrown terrorism.

Homegrown terrorism is to Muslims in The U.S like what law enforcement is to Irish & Italian Americans and Silicon Valley is to Chinese, Indian, and Jewish Americans.

* Korean face: Flatter, rounder, more porcelain, with a narrower mouth. There is a self-composed delicacy about it. It reminds you of an owl or a dove.

Japanese face: Fleshier, cuter, somewhat suggestive of fatigue. There is a melancholic inwardness within the gaze of the moist eye.

Chinese face: Fiercer, angular, more simian. The broad lips and flared nostrils suggest a whetted appetite. A purposeful, practical, hungry face.

Doping accusations rock Alberto Salazar, Galen Rupp and the Nike Oregon Project

Posted on August 21, 2016 by Luke Ford

I didn’t hear any mention of this on NBC’s Olympics coverage.

From Oregon Live, June 3, 2015:

The Portland-based Nike Oregon Project, world-renowned coach Alberto Salazar and Olympic silver medalist Galen Rupp were hit with doping allegations Wednesday.

Perhaps the most serious allegation is that Rupp, a graduate of Portland’s Central Catholic High School and the University of Oregon, and the U.S. record-holder in the 10,000 meters, has taken the banned drug testosterone since high school.

The allegations, largely circumstantial and anecdotal, are contained in stories by investigative reporters David Epstein for the website ProPublica and Mark Daly for the BBC.

The BBC also aired a documentary containing the allegations Wednesday in Britain.

Both stories include blanket denials from Rupp, Salazar and Mo Farah, a member of the Oregon Project and the 2012 Olympic gold medalist in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters.

Salazar and Rupp each issued a statement on Wednesday night in response to the stories.

Salazar’s statement reads, in part: ‘I am very disappointed that the BBC and ProPublica and their ‘reporters’ have allowed themselves to be used by individuals with agendas and have engaged in such inaccurate and unfounded journalism.  Rather than present the facts, they opted for sensationalism and innuendo.”

Rupp’s statement, in part, reads: ‘I expressly told these reporters that these allegations were not true and their sources admit they have no evidence, yet they print ‘suspicions’ attacking me and sullying my reputation.”

The stories allege at least seven athletes or staff members who have been part of the Oregon Project have gone to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency with concerns.

The four who went on the record are former Oregon Project assistant Steve Magness, husband-and-wife distance runners Adam Goucher and Kara Goucher, and massage therapist John Stiner.

Magness worked for the Oregon Project for about 18 months. He left prior to the 2012 Olympics. Both he and Salazar said at the time that his departure was a mutual decision.

The Gouchers trained as part of the Oregon Project between 2004 and 2011. They enjoyed some of their best professional seasons under Salazar’s tutelage. Kara Goucher won the bronze medal in the 10,000 meters at the 2007 World Outdoor Championships.

Magness said that while working for the Oregon Project he came across records that documented Rupp’s use of testosterone medication and prednisone that dated to Rupp’s time at Central Catholic. Prednisone is sometimes used to treat asthma.

Stiner alleged that he found testosterone medication in Salazar’s condo in Park City, Utah, several years ago while the Oregon Project was training at altitude. The massage therapist said Salazar told him the medication was for his personal use because of a heart problem.

Neither Rupp, one of the most drug-tested athletes in track & field, nor any member of the Oregon Project ever has tested positive for performance enhancing drugs. Neither story alleges otherwise.

The stories contain allegations that Salazar encouraged the use of thyroid and asthma medications to enhance performance. They also contain allegations that Salazar manipulated therapeutic use exemptions, which allow use of banned substances under medical supervision to treat specific health problems.

Rupp has asthma, and has run parts of some races at Hayward Field in Eugene wearing a surgical mask when grass pollen counts have been high.

Steve Sailer: Does Mo Farah’s 10000m Gold Medal for Britain Prove America Needs Open Borders?

Posted on August 21, 2016 by Luke Ford

Steve Sailer blogs:

What goes unmentioned is that Mo Farah has two immigrant brothers in Britain as well, Omar and Ahmed. I had never heard of them, but commenter Alastair J. Roberts points us toward coverage of them from the Daily Mail:

Mo Farah’s brother is released early from prison and could be deported from Britain after his part in knife raid

Ahmed Farah, 25, is facing being deported from Britain back to Somalia
Was jailed in 2010 for his part in a knife raid in Southall, west London in 2010
Reported that he is being held at Dungavel Detention Centre in Lanarkshire
Is now awaiting an immigration tribunal after an earlier case collapsed
Moved to Britain from Somalia 23 years ago with his older brother Mo

And:

Mo Farah’s brother jailed again after he tried to break into an elderly couple’s home – his 20th offence in a string of convictions
Omar Farah admitted one count of attempted burglary with intent to steal
The younger brother of Olympic hero Mo left his fingerprints at the scene
Farah, 21, tried to break into a west London house in March 2013
He was jailed for 15 months at Kingston Crown Court by Judge Jones
Judge Jones described Farah’s 15 previous convictions as ‘unimpressive’

So, you win one, you lose two, I guess …

COMMENTS:

* Like many people, I believe that Farah is just another product of the Alberto Salazar Doping School. The Wada report was v beneficial for him as it derailed the investigation into his links with Salazar. Suspiciously beneficial.

* Mohamed Muktar Jama “Mo” Farah

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo_Farah

It looks like the politically correct style-book demands that Muslim names be obscured if possible with anglicized names to keep sheep asleep.

Just like Munich gunman David Sonboly turned out to be named Ali.

This reminds me of the many years that major media managed to keep BHO’s middle name taboo and unspoken on major news outlets.

I recall it wasn’t until Anne Coulter referred to him as Barack Hussein Obama on Fox News sometime early in 2008 campaign (perhaps late 2007) that I had ever heard it uttered.

A truly remarkable feat considering that he had been in the Senate for years and had been mentioned as presidential candidate since winning his seat in 2004.

* Britain has millions of Indians, Pakis, and Banglas. They’re about 5% of the UK’s population.

How many medals have they won?

* I believe a casual look at Somalia will dispense with the notion that a genetic advantage in long distance running relates to our modern concept of a nation’s “greatness” in any significant way.

These imports will never outrun… a car, a jet, a guided missile. You can put these athletes on a running machine, and it will never power… an Apple computer factory.

* What I hate about the immigration debate is that the open borders side gets to point to a gold medal winning immigrant and proclaim he is representative of immigration, and thus we need more.

When the restrictionists produce many more examples of immigrants gone bad, such as those who’ve committed murder, rape and terror, they are told those are statistically insignificant, and thus are not to be factored into the debate.

If you are going to dismiss murderers, rapists and terrorists as insignificant to any discussion on immigration, then you cannot consider gold medal winners or founders of companies. They are orders of magnitude fewer compared to the former. That this is allowed to take place is proof of who controls the microphone.

* Not only is Barack Hussein Obama America’s first Negro president, he is the first U.S president who does not have a European name. His first, middle, and last name are all of Non European origin. His name does not exist in the WASP, French, or Iberian Conquistador world which is where New World Blacks got their names from.

Will America one day ever elect a Negro president with a European name?

Or will our second future Black U.S president also have an exotic sounding Arabic or African name?

* What I cannot understand is why isn’t Mo Farah happy to represent the land of his fathers, his ancestors, his own flesh and blood, culture, history – everything – Somalia is a unique and special nation, its people being a rare fusion of Arab and African blood, something Mo Farah should be intensely proud of, and instead represent a nation of which he has no connection of blood, soil, birth, history, culture, only happening to alight on that nation as part of generalized scam to increase his material standard of living.

In a way, Mo Farah is spitting on his ancestors.

* Roger Pielke Jr., whose work on climate stuff I very much like, should stick to climate issues. Is Roger going to give up his sweet gig at CU-Boulder and be replaced by an immigrant? Why not? He isn’t a racist is he? Don’t immigrants make our country great? Doesn’t Roger want to make our country great? What kind of American is he, anyway? Roger tell me you aren’t some kind of crazy anti-Trumper? Roger isn’t both anti-immigrant and anti-American, I hope! Why are there so many white guys, and so few immigrants, teaching in academia? It isn’t a big anti-immigrant conspiracy, is it? I am sick of hearing how immigration “makes us great.” This is BS happy PC talk. I’m not an immigrant, my parents and grandparents were not immigrants, my family is not immigrants, I did not go to school with immigrants, and through my career I have worked with just a handful of immigrants. It is decidedly NOT immigrants that make our country great. I believe if you look at the stats (Roger), they mainly impose huge costs on welfare systems, increases in crime, increases in congestion, lowered school scores, lowered wages. There are 50 others that readers of this site are familiar with and that I don’t need to list. WRT the “medal count,” I cannot tell you how inconsequential I view that particular stat. I care as much about that as I care about the current air temperature in Tierra del Fuego. Go back to climate Roger, see what you’ve done!

* So now it’s the Olympic medal count that makes America great? Friends, this is 4th-grade mentality. I am surprised that someone as smart as Roger P J and who should know better, gushes like this. It is embarrassing. The “medal count” is essentially meaningless, I mean, who really cares? It does not a damned thing for jobs, wages, foreign diplomacy, quality of life, blah blah blah blah. It means not one damned thing other than a ‘medal count.’ Hell if it means we imported a zillion east Africans so that we could win an extra medal in the 10,000m run, it probably is a bad thing for most everyone except the east Africans who moved here. These medal count people sound like elementary school children. They seem to think it would be totally cool to have the entire world move here, and then we will win every Olympic medal and show those Russians whose country is Top Dog? This stupidity and childishness boggles my mind, but then again it is connected with our mainstream media types, who generally have a 12-year old girl mentality and are not the sharpest knives in the shed (humor).
