Islamic expert Robert Spencer poisoned by leftist protester
Fascists: Islamic expert Robert Spencer was apparently poisoned by a leftist protester during a visit to Iceland last week.
It happened after the event, when my security chief, the organizers of the event, and Jihad Watch writer Christine Williams, who had also been invited to speak, went with me to a local restaurant to celebrate the success of the evening. At this crowded Reykjavik establishment, I was quickly recognized. A young Icelander called me by name, shook my hand, and said he was a big fan. Shortly after that, another citizen of that famously genteel and courteous land also called me by name, shook my hand, and said “F*** you.”
We took that marvelous Icelandic greeting as a cue to leave. But the damage had already been done. About fifteen minutes later, when I got back in my hotel room, I began to feel numbness in my face, hands, and feet. I began trembling and vomiting. My heart was racing dangerously. I spent the night in a Reykjavik hospital.
What had happened quickly became clear, and was soon confirmed by a hospital test: one of these local Icelanders who had approached me (probably the one who said he was a big fan, as he was much closer to me than the “F**k you” guy) had dropped drugs into my drink. I wasn’t and am not on any other medication, and so there wasn’t any other explanation of how these things had gotten into my bloodstream.
They have identified the culprits. Spencer appears to be recovering, though he, as I and others have noted, is appalled by the rising level of intolerance and violence coming from the left.
I learned my lesson. The lesson I learned was that media demonization of those who dissent from the Leftist line is direct incitement to violence. By portraying me and others who raise legitimate questions about jihad terror and Sharia oppression as racist, bigoted Islamophobes, without allowing us a fair hearing, the media in Iceland and elsewhere in the West is actively endangering those who dare to dissent. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Center for American Progress and the rest who devote so much money, time and attention to demonizing “Islamophobes” are painting huge targets on our backs.
Of course, they think they’re doing something noble. Not only does the Left fill those whom it brainwashes with hate, but it does so while portraying its enemies as the hatemongers, such that violent Leftists such as the young man who drugged me feel righteous even as they victimize and brutalize conservatives.
There is no doubt about it: I’m certain that whoever poisoned me in Iceland went away feeling happy over what he had done. If he told anyone what he did, I’m sure he was hailed as a hero. I’m also aware that many who read this will be thrilled at the fact that I became seriously ill. That in itself is a sign of how degenerate and evil the Left has become.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Jews are thoroughly hate across Scandinavia. The Swedish government has labeled Israel’s ambassador as a nazi (!believe that!) and banned him from Twitter. Sense and rationality do not apply. It’s only lies and hate in order to motivate the second holocaust. These are not accidents, it is the storm brewing again and testing its force, with almost no resistance.
Anyone who requires you to disarm and not consider your own survival as your first consideration and then calls you a Nazi or Fascist and looks to limit your free speech is in fact and by definition a Nazi and a Fascist.
Just like what Obama and the Leftist Democrats proscribe as “good” and what is correct for America, the opposite is the truth. Why? Because they must lie in spreading their doctrine. Lying and double speak is a necessary and basic requirement of their operation.
PS: We have established that there really is no truth in politics, only positions / agenda and strategy designed to establish and install those positions. There is a stellar demonstration of this is in how fast the Democrats swung from their condemning Comey and demanding his removal to them coming to his defense after the president did what was certainly required to do, fire him. Its a perfect example.
So when I use the word “lie” or “Lying” I want to make a distinction here. What I mean is using what ever words and imagery that is necessary to accomplish installing those positions and agendas. There is nothing other than securing your party’s position involved in politics.
PPS: A “Lie” or “Lying” implies that there is some level or morality involved in the deception. There is no morality in politics only the appearance of morality so the logic of using the terms lie or lying really is not appropriate and is in itself a deception. Where there is no morality there can be no lying because its all really a deception, its a non issue.
The logical assumption must be that everything that is said in the course of all political dialog is by default a lie.
Where the public runs off the rails and politicians take over or attempt to take over is when the public naturally by default assumes that there is morality in politics.

“A “Lie” or “Lying” implies that there is some level or morality involved in the deception. There is no morality in politics only the appearance of morality so the logic of using the terms lie or lying really is not appropriate and is in itself a deception.”
That’s pretty high level of philosophy!
What captures my interest in space flight is the contrast between the meticulous engineering to get any of the engines or heat shields or solar panels and whatnot to work. Because any tiny error would be revealed by the unforgiving nature with a bang. Contrasted with how recklessly political and corporate decisions are made. On the penny level it is obnoxiously pedantic. On the billion level no one cares. Amazing!
Once you nail down those penny details and all of the technology can be demonstrated, proven and justified then there exists the reason to spend the billions. The axiom comes to mind: Penny wise and pound foolish.
As to your comment on my “high level” of philosophy regarding politics: I continuously test my thinking on the subject and I continuously come up with verification, it has not been refuted yet. Objectivity and understanding what the true prime directive is is the key to revealing the “truth” on the subject.
What is the prime directive related to all of this? First we eat, then civilization. This applies to all forms of governance. From two guys in a cave sitting around a fire deciding where and when the next hunt that all others count on in order to survive will happen, to our president and his cabinet who literally have the power to destroy every thought of modern civilization sitting around a big table deciding what needs to be done to ensure the same.
Anything in the interests of fulfilling and securing the prime directive can be justified. ANYTHING.
An example of anything? :

Seth Rich leaks vital and embarrassing insider DNC / Hillary 2016 information to Wikileaks that probably cost Hillary the election because of their explosive revelations about her that no one can refute (because they are all true)………………………………………..and then he is murdered.
If it was known that Seth Rich was the leak and it was understood just how costly the leak was, might someone, an arms length operative, “take care” of Seth Rich? Seth Rich becomes a real threat to the Democrat / Hillary prime directive. You can not assume power to push forward your visionary agenda if you can not win the election.
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH.
Sounds crazy and over the top, but remember, anything is possible at this level. ANYTHING.
The Swedish government…banned him from Twitter.
How did the Swedish government manage that?
What is the proper and effective response to violence? Immediate penalty I would think. Do nothing or too little and we will only get more of it. Does attempted murder still have a penalty attached? Do enablers have any responsibility?
Do we wait until violence is the only response?
