The force-teamed acceptance of radical Islam in the US has hit an absolute zenith so I feel a trip down memory lane is in order.
Let's review the September 14, 2015 Clock Boy incident in Irving, Texas.
Remember how president Barrack Obama immediately amplified it? Not the incident itself but the narrative AROUND it. Within 24 hrs, the ethers were shellacked with an exhausting abundance of vapid Islamophobia tropes.
But all I saw was propaganda.
I'm neurodivergent (ADHD, diagnosed at 40) and very good at framing driven by pattern recognition and an organic distillation of info that hovers outside of immediate points of focus. It's not magic, it's observation and noticing. This makes me a decent researcher. I look outside of the obvious.
The noticing on this one was strong because the speed at which the narrative was being spun was anything but normal and, out of nowhere that same day, it hit me. This was PLANNED. THIS was an Islamic influence operation.
What followed in the weeks to come confirmed what I suspected and there is literally nothing anyone can say to change my mind.
Walk with me...1/🧵

On September 14, 2015, a 14-year-old Sudanese Muslim boy, Ahmed Mohamed, was arrested at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, for bringing a "disassembled digital clock" to school. Why? Because it flat out looked like a trigger for a bomb, brief case and all.
The incident was *immediately* framed as racial profiling and "Islamophobia" by main stream media, political pundits, Big Tech and the President himself, of course.
This blatantly performative charade included three lawsuits, all filed by his father, all of which were dismissed.
The whole thing was absolute boiler plate.
Have a look at slanted Wikipedia's synopsis of how it unfolded.

The day the news of this incident broke, I got a "hit" to look into the boy's father.
I get these hits all the time. I can't explain why or how it happens but it does, OFTEN, and those who know me well are no stranger to it. Sometimes it's a moment of prolonged eye contact, wherein I "see" to the bottom, and other times it comes as a thought-form out of nowhere. When the hits are strong, they feel like directed energy weapons landing in my solar plexus.
The hit: "Look into the Daddy."
I thought, "That's odd. Nobody's really talking about the kid's father so why am I being guided to do THAT?"
And again: "Do it NOW."
(Note: I was living w/former Navy Seal Benjamin Smith's late Mother Paula ("Ma") at the time. She boot-camp red-pilled me out of my apolitical, left-leaning fog until I 100% crossed over. I pretty much denounced the left in 2015 and she played an integral role in that. So, when the "hit" came, I yelled out, "Ma, come here! Ya gotta see what I just found! It's all bullsh*t!"
She rushed over and, after my rapid-fire explanation of the hit I'd gotten and the info I'd found, she looked at me, smiled and said, "Welcome to the fold. We'll discuss it over dinner."
There was no going back. 3/🧵

Ahmed Mohamed's father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, a Sudanese national, immigrated to NYC in the 80's. He drove taxis and ran street meat carts uptown by Rockefeller Center. His brother Aldean came before him.
He later relocated to Dallas, TX where he worked pizza delivery and drove taxis before founding his own businesses: Jet Taxi (a car service company), a medical emergency transport company called Paradise Prime Investments, and the solar energy business AlSufi International in Sudan. "He also served as self-elected president of the small Sufi Muslim AlSufi center in Irving."
Oh but wait.
Despite holding a United States Green Card, he was deeply immersed in Sudanese politics. In 2015, as a US green card holder, he ran against Bashir for President of SUDAN, a country upon which the US had placed MULTIPLE sanctions: human rights violations, terrorist violations, economic sanctions.
He told his constituents that, if elected, in his first 100 days, he would travel to the Obama WH to have all sanctions on Sudan lifted.
He learned he did not make it on to the ballot in February 2015 but 224 days later, Obama invited him to the White House.

And then there's Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed's fringe activism.
From the same article:
"Mohamed also made headlines for his bizarre role in Rev. Terry Jones' incendiary Quran trial. In 2012, when the Florida pastor made good on his threat to burn a Quran in his Gainesville church and put the Quran on "trial," Mohamed, who refers to himself as a sheik, was apparently the one Muslim willing to play along as the defense in the mock trial. "[The church] put an ad on their channel: 'Whoever feels in himself he has the power to defend Quran is welcome,'" he told the Dallas Observer."
"Muslim leaders in Texas, meanwhile, doubted his claims to religious and scholarly leadership. “This so-called leader, we have never heard of this person,” Imam Zia ul Haque Sheikh, head of the Islamic Center of Irving, told the Seattle Times. “I believe the whole thing is made up.” In that same interview, Mohamed, who refers to himself as a sheikh, elaborated on his motivations for getting involved with Jones. "He said he agreed to serve as the defense attorney at Jones’ mock trial because the Quran teaches that Muslims should engage in peaceful dialogue with Christians," the Seattle Times' Annie Gowen wrote. "But there was also a more pragmatic reason. It was spring break and he wanted to take his wife and five kids to Disney World: to 'kill two birds with one stone,' as he put it." He also claims he didn't know the trial– in which the Quran was "found guilty" of "crimes against humanity"– would result in the Quran actually being set on fire. According to the Seattle Times, some of Mohamed's small group of followers asked that he no longer lead prayers, while others refused to drive for his taxi company."

"President Obama condemns the book burning."
Interesting. OK, so what truly motivated the Clock Boy Incident? Simple: temp gauging as a lever of social contouring.
They were testing the ghosts in the machine. Obama, Obama, Obama.

Then, three years later, he's got Obama crawling up his ass and the full weight of the institutions combined, to include the sympathetic-to-Islam, Marxist Democrats ALL issuing dire "warnings" of Islamophobia in the US?
Yep. Exactly.
And, as was noted in the @aflc_freedomlaw article provided above,
"Jim Hanson, a CSP senior vice president, a former member of the U.S. Army Special Forces, and an expert on counter-terrorism, was sued along with CSP and the other media defendants for suggesting that the entire affair was a PR stunt by Clock Boy’s father in order to generate a media firestorm about anti-Islamic bias and Muslim-victimization."
When Hanson appeared on @glennbeck show, he shared that Clock Boy’s father had orchestrated "an intense media campaign with the local chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (“CAIR”), which the U.S. government has formally linked to the Muslim Brotherhood and to the designated terrorist organization Hamas in several formal court filings in federal terrorism cases."
Hanson claimed that the entire affair (Clock Boy Incident) "had the look and feel of a typical “influence operation”—the standard operating procedure of what the Muslim Brotherhood calls its “civilization jihad” against the West."
And this is exactly what I "clocked" from jump. It was days before a word was ever mentioned about the father which frustrated me to no end. I was just some fashion chic who had NEVER been political but, my mind had shifted into one of surgical analysis rooted in always looking to the negative space. Sheep no more.
Fast forward ten years: I now work in the Conservative political space and Clock Boy + his influence op Daddy f'd off to Quatar.
Imagine that.
Obama thought he was slick but we saw Clock Boy for what it was: an Islamic influence operation and we should never memory hole it for it serves as a marker.
In closing, I'll share that, in 2018, Obama issued a slew of bizarre tweets that felt like a giant comm.
They were posted at 9:24a EST on September 11, 2018.
"At 9:24 AM on 9/11, United Airlines Flight 93, already hijacked, received a call from a dispatcher warning them about the attacks in New York and D.C., including that other planes had hit the World Trade Center, leading passengers to realize their situation and plan to fight back against the hijackers before it crashed in Pennsylvania."
I'm sure it was nothing.
