This is funny. The FBI, no doubt attempting to calm worried people, noted that the hostage taker wasn't motivated by Jew hatred. He was simply kidnapping the only people of value in the whole country, the only people for which the US government would turn itself into knots and free a convicted felon. Of course, you simply cannot say that any such incident is motivated by anything other than Jew hatred (doing so might effect the ability of the Khazars as a collective to kill people and steal their land), and any indication that the real issue is the staggering amount of power Khazars either have, or are seen to have, in America, is completely forbidden.BREAKING: The FBI says the Texas synagogue hostage taker's demands were specifically focused on issue not connected to the Jewish community. https://t.co/PUxQkIwejx

The synagogue was targeted yesterday because it’s a synagogue. Jews were taken hostage because they’re Jews.

Part of a thread:

The plan is to train insurgents at camps inside NATO member states, then send them across the borden to Ukraine with NATO weapons. pic.twitter.com/FzZfaPTVoA
This plot shows how weak the American position really is - NATO is in no shape to fight a war, so the only option is to try some military options found in the crazed nationalists in various Russia-hating countries. This isn't a way to seriously fight a war, and betrays the fact that the Americans could care less about any European country.
