Comments to Steve Sailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

* Cultures with a long view never stop probing.<\/p>\n

* I think there\u2019s three things that explain why Obama and the left have jumped all over this incident: 1) disdain for white Texans who \u201ccling to their guns and their religion\u201d 2.) a desire to have more \u201cdiversity\u201d in the STEM fields 3.) a desire to import Syrian refugees\u2014The message you\u2019re supposed to get from this incident is quite clear: We need young Muslims like Ahmed to stay competitive in the STEM fields; thus Americans must become more accommodating and welcoming to Muslim immigrants (and all third world immigrants); anyone who\u2019s skeptical of Muslim immigration (and all third world immigration) into the United States is just a dumb, uneducated Texan who is oppressing young Muslim geniuses like Ahmed.<\/p>\n

* The effect of this incident is not that schools will have some common sense reevaluation of zero tolerance. Rather, the effect will be that school and law enforcement officials will be to greater or lesser degrees more reluctant to investigate suspicious activity from Muslims.<\/p>\n

Why on earth has this microscopic story attracted the attention of the sitting presidents, his flailing anointed successor, desperate to distract from her arrogance and ineptitude, and a pro-amnesty techie plutocrat?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be naive.<\/p>\n

* I wasn\u2019t even fazed when the story of the poor widdle Muslim astronaut boy turned out to be, what is called in pro wrestling, \u201ca work.\u201d There\u2019s a roaring demand out there for victimhood-heraldry and the supply will rise to meet the demand.<\/p>\n

* Anyone with an understanding of electronics will immediately see this \u201chomemade clock\u201d is not the tinkering of a child or teen. It was never Ahmed\u2019s idea to begin with. This isn\u2019t some innocent science project. The picture of the clock exposes the lie. Ahmed did not lovingly patch together IC chips and resistors, as the media would like you to believe. What you see is the guts from a manufactured digital clock, right down to the 9 volt memory backup, and the prefab button board. Absolutely nothing was made. It\u2019s the equivalent of taking the plastic surround off of your TV and claiming you \u201cmade\u201d a TV.<\/p>\n

Look at the case itself. CNN calls it a \u201cpencil case.\u201d Please. The whole package is vaguely sinister, and it\u2019s intentional. \u2026 It\u2019s almost as if someone designed this clock to look like a questionable object.<\/p>\n

Again, from CNN: \u201c\u201dI built a clock to impress my teacher but when I showed it to her, she thought it was a threat to her,\u201d Ahmed told reporters Wednesday.\u201d It was really sad that she took the wrong impression of it.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n

Ahmed, you didn\u2019t build a clock. You\u2019re a pawn to your Dad\u2019s political and social agenda. This is all a creation of your father. I\u2019m sure he involved you in the process, and made you feel as though you were truly making something, but you didn\u2019t. It\u2019s a clock without its case. Everything in the \u201cpencil case\u201d was made in a factory. See, a legitimate electronics project full of diodes and resistors looks innocent. It usually runs off of a battery, not an exposed AC to DC transformer\u2026 speaking of science projects, Ahmed, why again did you bring this to class? Was it part of an assignment? Oh, you just wanted to impress your teacher with a clock you rearranged inside a small briefcase? Hmm\u2026<\/p>\n

From dallasnews.com: \u201c\u201cHe fixed my phone, my car, my computer,\u201d Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed said. \u201cHe is a very smart, brilliant kid.\u201d<\/p>\n

If he were so smart, he\u2019d know the difference between creating a circuit and stripping the guts from a manufactured clock. His dad helped him \u201cmake\u201d this, and dad helped to make this \u201cproject\u201d look as questionable as possible, within the realm of plausible deniability.<\/p>\n

The dad is a politician. He made this happen. Whatever agenda he\u2019s advancing, it just further demonizes western society, and reminds us all to be guilty for how racist we all are. Maybe that\u2019s the agenda.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s propaganda.<\/p>\n

* The \u201cclock\u201d was never considered a bomb. The police arrested Ahmed for bringing a \u201choax bomb\u201d to school, which is illegal in Texas.<\/p>\n

And their side of the story makes a lot more sense now. Why did Ahmed bring to school a repackaged clock that appears to *intentionally* resemble someone\u2019s idea of a suitcase bomb? It\u2019s a legitimate question, because the clock was not an original electronics project of any interest from a hobbyist\/engineering standpoint.<\/p>\n

* He\u2019s being portrayed as a misunderstood child genius. The president has invited not only him to the White House but also illegal aliens and sex weirdos as well as making calls to athletes who come out of the closet. The criteria for presidential attention is really something else. What kind of a country is this becoming anyway?<\/p>\n

* Obama is just having fun with this, holding up a middle finger to the people in the world he most hates: white American Republicans. I cannot figure out how it will help the Democrats though, unless he thinks the Republican slate is such a shambles that Biden or Hilary is sure to win. Either way, he reveals himself to be a vicious, petty, hateful, mean-spirited prick for the umpteenth time.<\/p>\n

* I worked for TSA for a short time. While a lot of it is security theater in the security industrial complex, there was one thing I saw that never became public. In my short time I saw a handful of incidents where Arab\/Muslim\/Middle Easterners would bring through very suspicious crap. It was often too stupidly conspicuous to think it was some terrorist probing. And in a few of the cases I witnessed it was American Arabs\/Muslims. They would do stupid crap like put razor blades in the spine of a Koran or have electronic wire shoe laces. On a few of these incidents the FBI would show up to do some perfunctory BS checklist chat with them before letting them go. I guess it was all just Muslim defiance and civil disobedience or perhaps buying a ticket to the lawsuit lottery.<\/p>\n

* Well, if this teacher has a nervous breakdown (after being accused of overreacting and xenophobia by the court of PC) and winds up hospitalized, or dead it\u2019s a problem for the pundits who grabbed those pitch forks early before a proper police investigation was completed.<\/p>\n

I guess I am more fired-up over this because I have personal connections with Newtown; my mother was a teacher; and, duh, teachers are being attacked\/denigrated\/blamed for \u201cfailing\u201d to close the mythical achievement gap. There is a nationwide shortage of teachers, and who would want to teach anymore since they seem to be the most hated group of professionals in this country. Calling that teacher, those teachers\/administrators in TX morons, will backfire, I think it already has since I saw no articles in our state newspaper today.<\/p>\n

Like I said in my earlier post, teachers MUST be vigilant of alleged guns, bombs, knives, violent ideation of students (gleaned from what they write) not to mention: heroin, weed, booze, cutting and burning. Lanza was an extreme case \u2013 would that someone could have stopped his car, grabbed his bag, stopped him before he mowed down a lot of kids and teachers in 5 minutes. The public doesn\u2019t know how much his \u201cschool shooting\u201d changed everything even more than Columbine. I am just outraged that this boy (must have been coerced to do this by dad\/mom,) with his \u201cshow and tell\u201d project, (after science teacher said, \u201cput it away\u201d) punked a bunch of gullible pundits, even the President. Besides, in HS, \u201cshow and tell\u201d is over if it is not tied to a specific class or science fair.<\/p>\n

All I can think of is: AL showed the American public that teachers\/students in a building are vulnerable\u2026better to overreact than dead. Playing the race card, PC card (in this TX case) is completely irrelevant and abhorrent after Newtown tragedy. Those pundits should be ashamed of themselves. BTW, they still haven\u2019t settled the 2 lawsuits of parents suing Newtown.<\/p>\n

* He brought the case and timing of a bomb to school. He did not build a clock. Briefcase is shorthand for \u2018hard sided case\u2019 backpack is shorthand for \u2018soft sided\u2019 case.<\/p>\n

He obviously did not hope to see Obama what he wanted was some airtime he could show back home so he could be a serious candidate. He pulled equally boneheaded stunts before.<\/p>\n

He just got the jackpot this time. A kid brings the guts and case of a bomb without the explosives to school right after 9-11? Yeah and he was told not to show it around because it looked like a bomb. Now I\u2019ve only seen a few bombs but it does look like one.<\/p>\n

* In psych-ops you humiliate, confuse and demoralize the opposition. In this case, whites are once again paranoid, low-rent racists picking on poor innocent non-whites. You hammer this over and over as a kind of ambient, background music. Subliminal penetration.<\/p>\n

* Ahmed\u2019s clock may not be very advanced technologically\u2013but it doesn\u2019t look to me like a briefcase bomb (comparing the photos).<\/p>\n

The real story here is that unlike, say, 7-year-old Josh Welch, the second-grader who got suspended in Maryland for nibbling a Pop-Tart into the shape of a gun, Ahmed has a Muslim name, so the liberals can scream \u201cIslamophobia!\u201d and his arrest\/suspension took place in conservative Texas rather than liberal Maryland, so the liberals can scream \u201cTexas wingnuts!\u201d<\/p>\n

This is a zero-tolerance story: Zero tolerance is great in liberal Maryland, not so great in conservative Texas. When little Josh was suspended, not a single liberal pointed to the silliness of it all. Not so with Ahmed, where the liberals can\u2019t stop raising Cain.<\/p>\n

* \u201cZero tolerance\u201d isn\u2019t even tangential to this\u2013because the device is understandably suspicious. Zero tolerance is when a kid faces legal action for stealing a kiss or having a pen knife. It may be tangentially about extreme law enforcement methods\u2013why was he in handcuffs? But that\u2019s like saying Ferguson was about militarized police because the cops there had an armored personnel carrier. Horse shit.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s about the US being trolled. It\u2019s about a president who, without so much as a nod to the difficult job law enforcement has, immediately seizing on the nth opportunity to promote the Narrative. It\u2019s about one of the most powerful businessmen in the country, one of the most prestigious universities in the country, and every \u201crespectable\u201d news outlet using it to stick it to us again. \u201cDoesn\u2019t look like a bomb to me\u201d is\u2013I\u2019m biting my tongue. I actually saw some asshole somewhere saying \u201cwhere\u2019s the detonator, huh?\u201d \u201cwhere\u2019s the fuse?\u201d Yes, we\u2019re all experts. Notice how all the folk praising the \u201cbrilliance\u201d of young Ahmed aren\u2019t too interested in the device. You\u2019d think someone would be showing us just how ingenious an invention it is, I mean, if he\u2019s got a spot at MIT all but lined up. Jeez!<\/p>\n

By mostly, the kid wasn\u2019t accused of bringing a bomb to school but of trying to create a bomb scare\u2013which is almost exactly what it appears he did. It\u2019s just they had no idea the type and scale of panic he was angling for. I\u2019m sure his old man is pleasantly surprised by just how far this has gotten. Look forward to hearing more from him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
