Pamela Geller Associate John Jay Openly Calls for Mass Murder

AFDI founding member advocates murdering politicians, journalists, Muslims, and liberals
Wingnuts • Views: 36,085

One of the groups founded by anti-Muslim demagogues Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer is called the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), an “umbrella” group that provides cover for their other activities and funding for their anti-Muslim advertisements.

John Jay, one of the founding members of the board of AFDI and a very frequent commenter at Pamela Geller’s website, has posted a manifesto very reminiscent of Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik’s — a deranged, violent fantasy of mass murder: summer patriot, winter soldier: start the revolution …

start the revolution …

first things first.—

1.)take out the talking head media, and burn the new york times, the los angeles times and the washington post to the ground.  draw and quarter the media, and shoot their remains from canons in the four directions of the prevailing winds.

rinse, lather, repeat as needed.

2.)take out all the incumbent leadership of both parties in the congress, and every self avowed socialist and communist in congress.  give them all proper muslim burials at sea, just like osama bin laden.

eliminate pensions for congressional service.  rinse, lather, repeat as needed.

3.)eliminate the faculty senates at harvard, yale, columbia, nyu and university of california at santa barbara.  boil bill ayers, bernie dorhn and angela davis in canola oil, and feed their remains to the fishes.

“send all of the muslim immigrants back to their native countries, in boxes or tourist, their choice”— John Jaythey are all physical cowards.  they should fall into line pretty quickly.  repeat every ten years as a prophylactic, on general principle.  

and, 

4.)now that the “arab spring” has brought enlightenment to the middle east, send all of the muslim immigrants back to their native countries, in boxes or tourist, their choice.

burn all the mosques.  period.

just sayin’.

john jay @ 09.26.2011

p.s.  burn the editors and contributors to “the daily kos” at the stake.  i’ll think of something suitable for hilary clinton.  bill, he has to room with jimmy carter in a clapped out pickup & camper on the edge of a southern peanut field, somewhere in arkansas: that’s about as close to a living hell as i can imagine for him.

and, throw all the living governors of new york, california, ohio, illinois, washington, florida and massachusetts into the fiery pits, from which there is no escape.  sorry, jeb.  but, i think that you were a skull & bones internationalist, too, weren’t you?

A stunning level of hatred and incitement, even for these crazed bigots. Let’s hope the authorities are keeping as close an eye on this lunatic as they are on radical Muslims.

I don't like the TP anymore than you do man but going after all of them would make us no matter than the idiots like Geller and her stupid friend here who want to act like all Muslims are terrorists and to have that be policy. Their ideology sucks to high heaven but they're all not acting like this guy.

I don't know. I don't like the idea. of putting an entire group on a watchlist. I am not saying we should ignore their rhetoric but we should be focused on individuals. This guy clearly needs to be watched.

That's from the middle of this page, in a post that starts like this:

should conservatives disavow a single word or concept of their writing in light of anders breivik's actions in norway? the answer is a simple "no," quietly but emphatically stated.

37 Fenris  Thu, Sep 29, 2011 1:03:38pm

The comments for the manifesto are equally fascinating:

Thoroughly hosing the Obama administration with industrial strength DDT prior to deportation to the Mao-worshipping dictatorship of it's choice, is a must.

Here's one from John Jay himself, assuming no one else is using his name:

better to ship [liberals] to a plant in tupelo, mississippi, where they can be rendered into a good serviceable fuel oil, like the chicken & turkey beaks, legs, guts and feathers from the local tyson plants.

to be used in internal combustion engines. that's kinda poetic, to my mind.

You mean entire groups such as the KKK or the Weather Underground?

Here's a simple reality. If the leaders, formal and informal, of a group espouse violence, crime, or sedition, then it really doesn't matter that not all of them will do it. Some will. Since there's really no good test for predicting which of the members are "some", all must be treated as possible.

Heard an interesting report on NPR yesterday about internet trolls. People have studied Trolling and found that on sites that require email signing linked to things like Facebook, the vitrol is significantly less, obviously because people can be traced. Trolling is at its most violent when once off accounts can be used. But of most interest to me was that where pseudonymic sign offs were allowed but the site required someone to use the same name, the discourse was much more civil. They posited that people actually become fond of their by-lines on such sites and their on-line persona becomes a real part of them and its reputation becomes something of value. Reminded me of this site.

And even Weather Underground=KKK is MBF, really. The WU were a bunch of aholes and yes, domestic terrorists. But the KKK dates back to 100 years prior to the WU, and back to at least 100 years ago, in its current form. They are much more widespread and diversified, and way more violent than the WU.

Plus, their ideas about white supremacy have been far more articulated in the mainstream (and in our laws) than anything the WU was shrieking about. We've never had presidents endorsing the WU.

66 Randall Gross  Thu, Sep 29, 2011 1:22:43pm

Wow - going back to some of his first posts on that blog you see him begging the pope to start a new crusade & sanction him as a holy warrior....

hey, if the pope were infallible in the crusades, he's infallible now.

dust off the old encyclicals, prod the old bulls, and let us get to the task of defending western civilization and christendom. yes, i am aware of the dangers of religious and "sectarian" passions loosed, and it is hard to get the dogs of war back into the kennels & on their leashes, all nicely held in restraint w/ the choke chains and the muzzled.

i am also aware of the danger of lying on your back while your "brother" pokes you in the belly w/ a bayonet and saws off your head with a dull knife.

"enough! enough! enough!" the west, the judeo-christian ethos has taken enough, and it is time that our religious leaders authorize us to strike back in self defense, and do whatever is necessary to quiet this unrelenting assault upon us. the pope, the patriarch, that idiot arch bishop and the rest of the quivering poopies are worried about a 40 years war?

well, how damned long has it been since leon klinghoffer went off the decks of the achille lauro? how many times does adam of baghdad have to die before the pope and the poopies get some spine?

all i am asking, actually demanding of this silly bunch of sissies, is that they confer religious sanction upon those of us who will defend the faith. who will defend our faith in g_d and in christ. the papal bulls and encyclicals that launched the crusades are still in the vatican libraries, and just as serviceable as ever, and it is time to revitalize them, and to let the faithful defend truth and faith.

So sites with Facebook comments might be an especially useful way to determine who has common sense and impulse control, and who most definitely does not.

I'm too lazy to look it up: does this neo-Nazi rant cross the Brandenburg v. Ohio threshold or not?

It doesn't.

Without an "imminent threat", it does not cross the line. Not much does, online or off.

Yeah, you're example with McCarthyism is a good point.

I do feel that a some subset of the Tea Party is a threat though. I guess I would be taking my concept a few steps too far.

You are right, just as the rare but all too real commie spies were a threat. Sorting out the threatening extremist from the ordinary protester is the trick.

You're right - in the real world, it is extremely unlikely. See also the post on Weather Underground vs KKK and who's been able to get away with what, for far longer.

But as much as I detest the tea party, I don't want to see them witchhunted, namely because their kind are the very types advocating a reinstatement to the McCarthy era.

That word should really be in quotes.

Sorting out the threatening extremist from the ordinary protester is the trick.

This is why the Smith Act was ruled unconstitutional and why the Great Sedition Trials of some of the US's most egregious, bald-faced fascists didn't work.

I expect the tea party wants things like the Smith Act reinstated. For their own sake, I don't recommend it. Especially dipshits like Orly Taitz.

They get to call for civil war when someone calls them "gay", yet shriek to high heaven about union seiu acorn thugs when Jimmy Hoffa Jr talks about voting. e_e

You know as do I that there's nothing more a bully hates than someone who tells that bully to go fuck himself. It was unbelivaible to me seeing a Tea Party leader whine about what Hoffa said. I was just amazed since the Tea Party has had numersous speakers say much worse stuff than Hoffa did but they wanted to feel like the big bad union man threatened them. Go figure. They're cowards.

I could argue some instances where the left caught a break. But in either case we can take some pride in largely why this is an unlikely problem-We do have strong laws that prevent it happening easily. Even post FISA/Patriot act. We can celebrate the fact it's not easy for McCarthy to happen again.

Now if we can just get the FBI on board, as what ridiculous notions we see them training on for Muslims might also be (with differing details) what's being said about TP activists at FBI. Or environmental activists. Or just Green party members.

Unreasonable fear. Nutjobs respect force, including the force of numbers. Part of the beauty of elections is that they are a rough and ready proxy for civil war: whoever wins the election has proved that he would win the war if it came to that. So it doesn't, mostly. Even those who care only for winning don't particularly care to lose again, and lose their life in the process. And if the election is close, even that is enough to cool enthusiasms. The fight might be close too, if it came to that. Hotheads might be glad to flip a coin and win or die, but they know they will not find many followers for that bet.

If Obama, and it's if not when, is reelected, they'll be subdued. Shellshocked, and subdued. Not for the duration, but in the immediate aftermath. Some will lose hope. Others will lose enthusiasm for the "cause".

If he loses, they'll discover quickly that the new administration is "barely better", and they'll resume their muttering. But who will listen? So either way, the problem fades.

Our Catholic school went to a 'special' schools showing of The Ten Commandments , where the kids all had to line up outside the back entry to the theater. Across the alley was the only burlesque house in Pittsburgh, featuring girls like Cancy Barr and Lillie St. Cyr. Two hundred kids with their noses pressed against the rear theater wall.

NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 27: Over 700 hundred Continental and United pilots, joined by additional pilots from other Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) carriers, demonstrate in front of Wall Street on September 27, 2011 in New York City. The pilots want to draw attention to the lack of progress on negotiations of the pilots' joint collective bargaining agreement ahead of the one-year anniversary of the corporate merger close date of United and Continental airlines.

And even Weather Underground=KKK is MBF, really. The WU were a bunch of aholes and yes, domestic terrorists. But the KKK dates back to 100 years prior to the WU, and back to at least 100 years ago, in its current form. They are much more widespread and diversified, and way more violent than the WU.

Plus, their ideas about white supremacy have been far more articulated in the mainstream (and in our laws) than anything the WU was shrieking about. We've never had presidents endorsing the WU.

The Klan killed a HELL of a lot more people.

Definitely the latter. Some of these cons are so fundamentally dishonest, they will try and convince you even a couple weeks later they said the opposite of what they actually did.

Can't be trusted, any farther than they can be thrown.
