Boko Haram Now Armed With Weapons Gotten From... Post-Invasion Libya
— Ace

The Bama attack showed [Boko Haram's] substantial firepower, including machine guns, large numbers of rocket propelled grenades (RPGs) and pick-up trucks mounted with anti-aircraft guns, a sign the weapons flood from the Libyan war that helped rebels seize parts of Mali last year has reached Nigeria, officials say.

From @rdbrewer4 in the sidebar, this piece on Bill Clinton's claim that only poverty, and not Islamism, animated Boko Haram's savagery.

Mr. Clinton not only stated that poverty was the cause, but that specifically, Islam and religion could not be blamed in any way.
Â“You have to somehow bring economic opportunity to the people who donÂ’t have it,Â” Clinton stated. He added, Â“You have all these political problems Â— and now violence problems Â— that appear to be rooted in religious differences and all the rhetoric of the Boko Harams and others. But the truth is the poverty rate in the north is three times of what it is in Lagos."

This psychopathy, like many psychopathy, has several causes. The government of Nigeria has long been accused of being, by turns, corrupt, incompetent, and oppressive. And poverty is a sadly enduring incubator of social pathologies.*

But it is beyond absurd to claim that ideas and ideology have nothing to do with it.

The Left forever claims this when it comes to global jihad -- that it is not the Islamist ideology to blame, but rather "root causes" such as poverty or Western Aggression.

That's a strange thing for anyone on the American Left to claim -- because they vigorously attempt to marginalize, delegitimize, and silence any ideas conflicting with their own.

Why? Well, obviously they fear that ideas have power, and that if people believe ideas contrary to the left's ideas, then the nation will change from what it otherwise would have been. It will turn from the America that could be, as Hillary Clinton would say.

For example, if even one alleged Racist is permitted to own a basketball team, why, that would Normalize racism, mainstream it, suggest that racism is permissible and proper.

Thus, we must ruthlessly stamp out of Racism at the ideological roots or else it will surely bloom into flowers of racist action.

And yet when it comes to Islamism, the American Left engages in endless apologism and bizarre claims that the vicious dehumanization of women and non-Islamists as preached by Islamist priests and inculcated into the youngest of children has nothing at all to do with the horrors that ultimately flow from such ideas.

Nothing. Nothing at all.

If it's true, as the left claims in the case of violent global jihadist Islamism, that ideology is not a powerful motivator of human behavior, why does the Left spend its every moment preaching its political ideology in America, and demonizing those who depart from it?

We have to stand united to kick Donald Sterling out of the NBA for a couple of lines he spoke in private to his mistress, but a thousand clerics preaching hate and murder have no impact on behavior whatsoever?

'Tis very strange, the ideologies the Left deems terrifyingly dangerous and those it deals harmless, blameless, and even quaint.

* Of course, in this case, it could well be that the Muslim-held north is poor precisely because its intense xenophobia causes it to reject the wealth-producing culture of the Western boko it so despises.

5 So three reason Clinton fought to keep Boko Haram off the Terrorist list. 1. It weakened Obama's claim that terrorism is reduced. 2. It played into their idea that coddling terrorists pacifies them. 3. Obama thought pushing Q'daffi over was neat-o, and anything he likes can't have negative consequences.

8 Boko Haram got their weapons from Ben and Gahzie's Wholesale Weapons Emporium? Well of course they did. The real question is, what did the CIA arms traders do with those nubile sixteen year old females they took in trade for those AK-47s?

9 If you look at Boko's progression it escalates, as I pointed out yesterday, with the illegal Libya War. In fact, Al Qaeda is better funded, armed and manned today than ever before. It's almost like NATO destroyed Qaddafi to bolster Al Qaeda.

20 So what is that magical poverty threshold where poverty suddenly begets violence? And I would posit that the North is so much poorer in part because of the culture of Islam. And Lagos, being the commercial center of the country, has oodles of money floating around. Not a germane comparison. Let's not forget that most of Nigeria's military dictators and assorted officials were Muslim northerners, yet the north is still steeped in ignorance and backwardness. Bull Clinton is full of it.

21 The problems in Nigeria, & specifically with Boko Haram, are caused primarily by a lack of Feminist ThoughtÂ™.

45 Oh, and there's actually affirmative action for Northerners. (At least there was when I was in primary school.) To attend a federal govt secondary school, you had to take a standardized exam. Each state had a different cut off point below which you wouldn't be able to get into those schools (assuming everything is above board, ahem). So we southerners were having cut off points in the 500s while the northerners (and foreigners, come to think of it) had theirs in the 300s. And for so many of them, even the ones from very wealthy homes like the ones in my class (I went to a cushy private primary school), getting a score in the lower 300s was hard. I seriously doubt that people in the North are so genetically different that their IQs are lower than ours. Hmmm. I wonder what the difference is....

55 Muslims and Progtards are basically the same in psychology. Both of their ideologies are complete nonsense easily demonstrated by the real world, however- their ideology is the enlightened word. For muslims, the Koran is literally the word of God. Who're you gonna believe, your lyin' eyes/brain or God? For Progtards, who're you gonna believe, your lyin' eyes/brain or (insert Progtardian flavor of the minute)? That's why both have to keep pushing pushing pushing if they stop for a minute, if they think for a second, the whole edifice of nonsense would fall under it's own weight.

Why do we claim a rationale for them that they never claim themselves?

They tell us why they hate us. They tell us every day. It's patronizing not to believe them.

Because the Dems politicize everything.

They're like egg-sucking dogs, they can't resist.

Every single thing that happens, they twist it around to further their own fucking agenda.

Every...single...thing.

They even have figured out a way to politicize a Rainy Day!

Their credo is..."Never let a crisis go to waste".

Which is why they love to create crises.

So they can prey on them.

Never mind actually getting to the root of the problem and then working from there towards a solution. Which is to physically destroy and devastate Boko Haram.

117 "Well, obviously they fear that ideas have power, and that if people believe ideas contrary to the left's ideas, then the nation will change from what it otherwise would have been." Processional: Some believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges. When soldiers take their oath they are given a coin, an asimi stamped with the profile of the Autarch. Their acceptance of that coin is their acceptance of the special duties and burdens of military life--they are soldiers from that moment, though they may know nothing of the management of arms. I did not know that then, but it is a profound mistake to believe that we must know of such things to be influenced by them, and in fact to believe so is to believe in the most debased and superstitious kind of magic. The would-be sorcerer alone has faith in the efficacy of pure knowledge; rational people know that things act of themselves or not at all.

I know, crazy, but we don't know who he actually is, and he hangs around with people who are not that far removed from these psychos.

But of course, he's no muslim, nah, not with that name and not with his background...nope!

He's as Christian as Jim Bakker. OF COURSE.

171 167 Because bin Laden was an avowed enemy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Royal Family. Wahabists may find Al Qaeda's vision to be agreeable but the government of Saudi Arabia and its supporters are lethal enemies of AQ. All Saudis are not our enemies, all Saudis are not our friends. Posted by: Chris Balsz at May 08, 2014 08:26 PM (5xmd7) Yes, but the Saudis are also spending boatloads of money funding the construction of mosques in America. That money is not coming from al-Qaeda. I know that the royals and al-Qaeda hate each other, but I think they're playing good cop/bad cop as far as we infidels are concerned. I believe they are more enemy than friend.

172 Why won't the Clintons, Kerry, and Obama let these black men speak for themselves? Why do they think they know better than Boko Haram what motivates them? They've said over and over again that it is jihad, that they kill for Allah. Ignoring this and instead claiming it's the latest Lefty cause du jour - income equality, gender discrimination - seems so......racist, no?

175 28 If poverty is the cause of terrorism, why is Saudi Arabia exporting terrorists and Haiti is not?

There's a common theme here, and it's not poverty. Posted by: grammie winger at May 08, 2014 07:08

176 I like the idea of rounding up all radical feminists, arming them with twitter-enabled phones, and air dropping them into Boko territory! Clears space to operate, if you know what I mean...

177 We have to stand united to kick Donald Sterling out of the NBA for a couple of lines he spoke in private to his mistress, but a thousand clerics preaching hate and murder have no impact on behavior whatsoever?

In the liberal's deranged view to point out what the clerics say would be racist

179 171 Ignoring this and instead claiming it's the latest Lefty cause du jour - income equality, gender discrimination ... ------------------------ Yes, with Liberals, it's never the underlying culture, there's always another reason. Which reminds me, I wonderhow the "Why are Lesbians fat?" study is going. I'm certain it is my homo-normative fault, and has nothing to do with calories consumed.

Why does the left not hate Islam? Because it believes all the same important things that they do. Like top down authoritarian control of people, ideology in every single aspect of life, complete submission to the will of others, a stratified society. That is the scary part - they don't give a rat's behind how homosexuals are treated, or women, or minorities, or freedom of thought, word, and deed. It's all about control. If a fanatical belief in religon and murder gets you there, or screaming about unequal pay, abortion, and guns, well, six of one and half dozen of the other.

181 For example, if even one alleged Racist is permitted to own a basketball team, why, that would Normalize racism, mainstream it, suggest that racism is permissible and proper. Which is precisely why the NBA should get together, purchase the Clippers and give it to Louis Farrakhan. Post 179 has it right: the Progs and Islam have a common enemy: Western execptionalism. It's that the Proggies have this weird notion that they'll beat Islam, and I'm not seeing that happening.

183 True Christianity will not be destroyed. "On this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it". Now some here could get into a pointless debate about whether this means Catholicism or the Church universal. I should be clear to anyone here that I love and treasure many things about RC, but I think the rock is the confession of Jesus as Messiah and I firmly believe in our unity centered on the life, death, resurrection of Jesus. It might t be the best thing going-as far as the state of the church if we are driven underground. That's where the church grows fastest because it is something that people put their lives on the line every day rather than being a weak state church where it stands for nothing but God as the great gum ball in the sky in which God's "job" is seen as to bless us in our prosperity.

184 This shows that Benghazi was not a total failure! Sure some honkies like Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, and Tyron Woods were killed.

But, at least GaddafiÂ’s stock pile of heavy weapons was put to good useÂ… to strengthen Al Qaeda and their minions who like to rape and pillage Africa! That has never been done before!

Yes, Barky is disappointed in the world. He took a brass knuckle fisting from Putin and was sent to the corner of the room with a pillow between his legs.

This proves BarkyÂ’s can take a fisting. It also shows Barky's plans for an Islamic world where there will be so many fire fights people will have to buy carbon credits just to survive.

Sure, Putin was not conned or even frightened Â– he fisted Barky up the tailpipe! A stiff coke colonic up the bloody hole got Barky back on his feet.

Americans are different. They bend over when they hear the racism. That's Barky's ace in the hole.

I can assure you that once Barky starts campaigning in those San Francisco Bath houses those carbon credits will begin to sell.

Even if they donÂ’t sell, Barky has made America suck like Kenyan street queen. America's position as a soft wedgie queen in world circles has never been be better Â– a vast difference from past administrations! Good day.

186 Tis very strange, the ideologies the Left deems terrifyingly dangerous and those it deals harmless, blameless, and even quaint. Because the Left is ultimately a bunch of juvenile, unself-esteemed pussies who wish to avoid the hard work of, and thus resent when, ever having to deal with life. The social phenomenon of the huddle to collective is not so much a mobilized call to arms of worker ants but a support group. This is why there's little fear to LIB.

187 I'm after post 185 here so I may be late to make this point, but the 9/11 terrorists were not poor; they were middle-class and well-educated. Muhammed Atta had a Master's in urban planning. Poverty ----> Terrorism is bullshit
