Trump Takes Nation By Storm: More Americans Agree With Muslim Ban Than Reject It

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In case you were confused how it is that Donald Trump's polling numbers could increase following his Muslim-ban comments (which have beeen widely denigrated by any and all talking head who can fog a mirror - from The White House down...), here is the "surely not us?" answer.

As The Hill reports, a new post-Trump survey by Rasmussed finds that 46% of likely voters would favor a policy preventing Muslim immigrants from entering the country until tighter screening procedures can be implemented, while only 40% would oppose such a measure.

 

 

In direct opposition to what The White House said (that Trump’s proposal is "totally contrary to our values as Americans,") it is apparent from this survey that the Obama Administration does not know its 'constituents' as well as it may have thought.

Simply put, based on this poll, more Americans - republicans and democrats - support Trump's idea of banning the entry of Muslims into America than oppose it, and now that it is 'polling' as a populist idea, we await Hillary Clinton to jump on the bandwagon.

Substitute "Trump" for "ANEL":

After many years of observing such outrages and being unable to do anything about them, the public have had a great deal of tension build up in their minds, and this is no accident. The Occulted Powers have intentionally created this tension so that it can be released at a time, and in a direction, of their choosing. This article, and a million more like it, reflect that strategy.

On its surface, the article presents the “Left” (represented in this case by Syriza) in a favorable light while denouncing the “Right” (represented in this case by ANEL). But if we look beyond the surface to the psychological subtext, it is actually associating Syriza with the things that are causing outrage in the public mind while associating ANEL with the public themselves. Putting it a bit more plainly, the article is promoting these mental associations:

Syriza and the “Left” = all the outrages that have been pissing you off

ANEL and the “Right” = YOU, because like you, ANEL stand in opposition to the outrages and are being marginalized and demonized for it.

So what articles like this actually do is get the battered public to identify with the battered political party / political figure that is out there saying what the public wants to say and doing what the public wants done. And when the “Left” finally collapses and the “Right” stands up to “save the day” (per the NWO script), all the tension that has been building will finally find its release. - http://redefininggod.com/2015/03/the-illuminati-strategy-of-tension-and-...

Let's ask a Founding Father about that.

 

 

Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen; and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan  nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

Now be it known, That I John Adams, President of the United States of America, having seen and considered the said Treaty do, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, accept, ratify, and confirm the same, and every clause and article thereof. And to the End that the said Treaty may be observed, and performed with good Faith on the part of the United States, I have ordered the premises to be made public; And I do hereby enjoin and require all persons bearing office civil or military within the United States, and all other citizens or inhabitants thereof, faithfully to observe and fulfill the said Treaty and every clause and article thereof.

-- From the Treaty of Tripoli, 1797

Trump = Winning

 

People keep underestimating him, people keep being shocked by his success. Even after 50 years of him riding into countless cities kicking up a humongous firestom and riding out with the prize... people still think he is dumb, thin khe blurts stuff out without thinking, people think he is rash.

 

Trump is a super cool, strategic machine, everthing he does is calculated. Everything is part of a bigger strategy. He is focused on one goal. One goal.

This is not a surprise at all. There is a huge percentage of people in this country that hate others strictly based on their race or religion. This is nothing new. What is different now is the ability of false information to be spread very effectively due to the fact that most people are too lazy and/or stupid to do their own research to form their own opinions. Trump has identified a weakness in the minds of the average American voter and he's exploiting it to his gain. Too bad most can't see this.

I don't agree with Trump.  We shouldn't discriminate against just mugloids.  We have the right in every conceivable way to deny access to our country for fucking reason we see fit at any given time and against any people we choose.

So we actually need to deny all access to ever person world-wide while we work on deporting the millions of illegal invaders the traitor in chief allowed into the country.

its not unconstitutional.  They are illegal and foreign so our Constitutional rights do not apply to them.

 

So make it apply to everyone for say 5 years.  And sort out all the scumbags at the same time.

You chose to do nothing when your "Government" (chosen by you) decided to bomb their countries "back to the Stone Age" - so you will expect retribution. The longer the delay, the more extreme (as your ongoing ME carnage continues, pretty much unabated).

The solution? (now of course too late) - mind your own business. Obviously "not the American Way", so expect the consequences of your actions. Think "they'll forget"?? They still remember the Crusades, so their long term intergenerational memory is excellent. They neither forget, nor forgive, and their methods of retribution, though brutal (in the eyes of the West) are remarkably effective.

excellent points all.  remember the majority support bush had for the iraq war to punish saddam for 9-11?

the ignorance and fear of the "majority" of the u.s. is astounding still.  they elected and reelected bush and obama for goodness sake.

not that much of it is left, but this absurd idea of banning religions is wildly unconstitutional.

more u,s. citizens are killed by lightning than terrorists.

stop killing the muslims and mavbe they will stop killing us.   ya think?

what would you do if the u.s. were less powerful and some nation had been bombing it rather indescriminately for years because they wanted a pipeling to say alberta?

At what point did controlling immigration become a violation of the first amendment protection of religion?  Under that logic attempting to control the flow from our southern border would be an act against the Catholic Church. Citizens who happen to be Muslim are protected under the first amendment.  They have the right to believe and worship as they wish.  They do not have the right to break the law or replace our legal system with sharia law.  The first amendment is not a guarantee to some imagined right to immigrate.

 

 

The Southern Poverty Law Center set the precedent on how to deal with domestic terrorist in their case against the United Klans of America.  When an organization provides the forum for a call for murder, that organization becomes liable for the acts of adherents and sympathizers who heed that call.   As I recall as a result of that Klan case, a black woman wound up with keys to the United Kan’s headquarters.   Under that precedent, any mosque that provides a forum for a call to murder should be sued and bankrupted.

Woah - I've been giving you way too much credit over the years - or did you suddenly go full retard on us recently? If I understand it (and I'll bet a fat stack of American fiat that I'm right), the actual action in question is a temporary moratorium on refugee immigration from Muslim nations. How that morphs into what you wrote above is a case study in media manipulation of weak minded "citizens". Here, have another steaming cup of narrative. What, you expected two girls as well?

Wow, what a hol-e-y argument...

The solution "mind your own business" - well, you should have told that to Muslims 1200 years ago when THEY started invading Europe and the Levant. They started this BS with their "convert or die" philosophy. Islam has been at war with Western Europe for over 1,000 years, with periodic cessations of hostilities, but the pot has always been simmering. After the Enlightenment, Western science outstripped Muslim efforts a hundred-fold, and Islam became nothing more than an occasionally pesky irritant on the civilized world's SE border. However, the discovery of oil changed all that, and provided the Muzzies with enough money and power to become a threat, which the Saudi goat-herders have been pushing through their funding throughout the world. 

The West, being until recently at least nominally Christian, was willing to 'forgive and forget' Muslim atrocities, but apparently mercy and forgiveness are two virtues absent from Islam. So, if the Muzzies want "retribution", I say: BRING IT. The West is very near the tipping point. A couple more refugee rapes, a couple more mass shootings and bombings, and Islam better start running for cover.

There is no mandatory requirement to import the world to the US.  Shut down all immigration and visa issuances from nations with large percentages of Islam.  At this point, we'd have to figure in Sweden too.   

Why is there constant insistance that we have to maintain open borders to every nation in the world  

This would be very easy to accomplish if Uncle Fraud wasn't corrupt.

I'd be willing to bet good money we'll have another Islam mass killing in the US between now and election day which will of course give another massive boost to trumps campaign.  Islam followers can't help themselves.  The siren call of 72 virgins beckon.

Look, I understand that ZH is the last bastion of unfettered free speech and all, and that it is your right to post links to porn sites here.

But just as you have a right to post links to porn, I have a right to complain about it. You are a worthless piece of shit for posting this kind of trash. You have confused liberty, which is self-governance; with license, which is two dogs fucking in the street. But even dogs have an innate sense of decency, and only do what comes naturally. You on the other hand, know better, and so your crime is worse, for dogs cannot be perverts, but you can be, and are.

I hope others share my sense of outrage, and that you, and all other porn-posting scum are shamed to such an extent that you will slink away, never to be heard from again. You really are a crass, classless asshat.

McC - Your post was so out of the blue and so passionate, it nearly blew my jaded, cynical mind.  Just to clarify:  are you against the posting of links to porn or porn itself?  Or the particular video? Inquiring minds want to know...

Regarding the topic at hand... banning Muslims simply cannot be operationalized.  Anyone with an IQ north of 90 knows this at heart, but goddamit if it doesn't feel therapeutic for a sloganeer like Trump to say it!  And say it again, and again..

Shit, probably half of everything Trump promises cannot be operationalized.  Kind of like the 8th grader running for school president who promises more snack bar choices and more cola vending machines.  Now there's a true asshat.

That said, I'm voting for Trump.  If he gets elected, he will be the perfect catalyst for burning down Rome, so the people can begin rebuilding four years later.  Trump 2016!

correct, not without a lot of very, very awkward measures, at least. like having to walk over crosses in the way Christian martyrs were found out in the 3rd Century

now the question I pose is if Trump is going to use this surge in popularity for a new proposal that can be operationalized

for example: "no immigration at all"

I am though still more interested in his qualifier: "until we know what is going on". still very interested to see if he is going to expand on that

or, wild guess, until we stop arming israel and, on our own, attacking muslim country after muslim country for reasons that become harder and harder to explain much less justify.

Yeah, the weakness is in the liberals mnds that we need unlimited immigration and breeding to maintain the social welfare Ponzi in this country.  

There is a HUGE percentage of people in this country that hate the US and the principles this country was founded on.  They hate freedom and liberty and want to import as many derelict, worthless f&cks as possible to expand wealth redistribution and to tighten the chains on the American slaves already here.  

Why the liberal traitors want to do this (shoot themselves in the foot and cut their own throats) is a massive mystery to me.

Only a clown believes that Islaam is responsible for any of the false flag attacks on western people since 9/11. Unfortunately Americans will nont be able to travel abroad anywhere soon as the rest of the world hates their guts. Trump is the logical corollary of the false flag activities, but the zoharites are too dumb to have appreciated the fact. Now it's an out of control rising power that is coming to consume them. Give 'em enough rope.....

The treaty was a cessation of hostilities and John Adams words were directed toward those who might seek to leverage one religion against another. The violence being stopped was the "Musselmen's" activity of pirating.

As a student of world history you certainly know that Islam had a golden period which lasted hundreds of years which in part help to spark the Renaissance in Europe. Therefore logic tells us that there is nothing implicit in the Islamic faith which precludes rationality, tolerance and enterprise.

Back in high school,  I picked up a book that one of the teachers had tossed in a pile.

"free for the taking"

A History of Torture, by Daniel P. Mannix.

Chapter 13-15: Exile as a form of punishment in the 19th century (e.g. to America and Australia). Methods of torture in the east (i.e. China, India, Turkey), the Americas (e.g. native Americans and Aztecs) and Pre-Colonial Africa (i.e. Benin, Kano).

Yeah, it is interesting how the mind will trap some things that fit & discard the things that don't fit in an effort to make "the overall thing" appear to be something that it is not.

For example, we went to Lamanai on a recent visit to Belize. Our Guatemalan guide explained this game that was played among the Mayans where, from an early age a young man was picked to be the captain of that teams village, a very high "honor".

Well this game (with a ball) being played between cities/villages could go on for days or even weeks and all either side had to do was score 1 point to win. After the game was won the losing captain placed his head on the flat rock at the center of the ball court/arena where the game was just played and he was decapitated. 

The "winning captain" turned and walked up the steps of the temple where he was sacrificed by a priest to a Mayan deity.

Quite the "high honor" I was told (lol) but thats just the way they did it ;-)

Americans owe directly to the Saracens our southwestern and Californian architecture, our cotton industry, our asphalt paving, and a long list of such things as beds, table and bed linens, small occasional tables, strawberries, ice-cream. Americans speak Arabic when they say, mattress, sofa, cotton, talcum, sugar, coffee, sherbert, naphtha, gypsum, benzine. Our cars run, our streets are paved, our houses are furnished and our bodies clothed with things that the Saracens created. The Christian kingdoms in the Saracens' world lasted less than a century. The heirs of their Crusading founders became indistinguishable from the Moslems in their customs, manners and dress, as the other Christians were in that civilization.

Then the Moslem emir (who was a Kurd) proposed an alliance with England. He offered his sister in marriage to Richard the Lion-Hearted, who was crusading at the time. But Richard intended to return to England, and sensibly he refused to take home a Moslem Queen.

Since the Christian King would not make peace, the Moslems attacked and took Jerusalem. They did not sack it, and as soon as its defenders surrendered, they released their prisoners. The terms that the victorious emir imposed upon the invaders were, that they must go home. He gave them forty days in which to dispose of their property or pack it before leaving.

During the forty days, the people in Jerusalem bitterly complained to the emir that the departing Christians were seizing everything they could lay hands on. They demanded that the emir stop this plundering. The emir replied, "If I stop them, they will say that I have broken my word. Let us give them an opportunity to praise the goodness of our religion." He let the people in Jerusalem protect their own property as best they could, and the Europeans got away with quite a lot of loot.

But the returning Crusaders brought back to Europe the first idea of a gentleman that Europeans had ever had. Until they invaded the Saracens' civilization, they had never known that a strong man need not be brutal. The Saracens were splendid fighters when they fought, but they were not cruel; they did not torture their prisoners, they did not kill the wounded. In their own country, they did not persecute the Christians. They were brave men, but they were gentle. They were honorable; they told the truth, they kept their word. This ideal of a gentleman especially impressed the English. It is still producing perhaps the finest class of human beings on earth today, the men and women of the British ruling class. It is an ideal that permeates all of American life. This is what surprises so many people in many parts of the world, when they see and meet the common American soldiers and sailors.

If you don't see one religion being leveraged against another then you might want to take off the blinders.  Falwell and Graham are beating that drum hard. But it goes much deeper than that. The so called conservatives still haven't realized that the tactics used agaisnt Muslims are the same tactics which are now being rolled out against conservatives themselves. You reap what you sow.

I don't give a tinkers damn if her brand of Islamism is the oligarchial kind (Sunni) or the strict bloodline kind (Shia).

She just rolls her eyes at me like any other doctor would when I blatantly lie to her as she taps all my "volunteered" medical information into the easily accessible .gov NSA cloud.

My problem with this plan of trumps is similar to my problem with his plan for a wall to prevent illegal immigration. Its authoritarianism that won't work. Its red meat for low IQ republican voters, which are unfortunately populating ZH these days. "ban all muslims" will not prevent an attack by muslims on US soil. If you want to decrease the terror threat, the first and most important stpe is to stop creating more terrorists who hate us by dropping bombs in 7 or 8 muslim countries. Every terrorist you kill creates more. That, coupled with the millions of them already here, and you have a recipe for disaster that is made worse each and every day our overseas military nonsense continues. You cannot get rid of the terrorist threat by not allowing people into this country. The motivation will keep growing stornger as long as we keep up the bombing campaign. Each and every drone strike is just another recruiting tool for these people.

 

Same deal with his "build a wall, make the mexicans pay for it" nonsense. As logn as huge economic incentives exist, luring people here with the promise of free healthcare, free housing, free education, free food, free utilities, free cash assistance, no wall is going to keep people out. You must dismantle the welfare state. Nothing else will do it.

The muzzies have been killing EACH OTHER for thousands of years.  If you go to the wrong mosque, they behead you.  Bombing or no bombing makes no difference.  No prayer to their god in their way -- death to you.

So you are just as FUCKING STUPID AND WEAK as Obama.  To anyone with functioning brain cells, the first and most important step is, therefore, TO FUCKING DEFEND YOURSELF. Maintaining a strong border is rule number one of defending yourself.

As for the mexicans, your answer is another flat out lie.  It has always been illegal to hire undocumented workers.  The feds ignore those laws, while at the same time crying crocodile tears about lost jobs for americans. It is intentional fraud and corruption by all parties involved.

The mexicans are criminals, the people who employ them are criminals, and Obama is a criminal for not doing his sworn duty to uphold the law as written.

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams reporting to John Jay, re upcoming Barbary Wars lead by Jefferson. Americas first "War on Terror"

It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every muslim who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy's ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once.

-- From the Treaty of Tripoli, 1797

Since you brought it up. Article 11 has nothing to do with the Treaty. It was only contained in the English version presented to the Senate.

You also surely must realize that need for the Treaty in the first place was that they were pirating and kidnapping Americans. It really wasn't a Treaty, or certainly not a Peace Treaty. It outlined the means and amount of extortion that would be required to make it stop. Even THAT wasn't enough for them, it resulted in the First and Second Barbary Wars.

On Jefferson's inauguration as president in 1801, Yusuf Karamanli, the Pasha (or Bashaw) of Tripoli, demanded $225,000 from the new administration. (In 1800, federal revenues totaled a little over $10 million). Putting his long-held beliefs into practice, Jefferson refused the demand. Consequently, on 10 May 1801, the Pasha declared war on the U.S., not through any formal written documents but in the customary Barbary manner of cutting down the flagstaff in front of the U.S. Consulate.[26]

All those two paragraphs show is that Western politicians were appeasing offended Muslims even in 1797.

 

The sense of deja vu arising from the fact that western politicians were acting then in the same cowardly way that they act now, is further compounded by the fact that then, even as now, it was the Muslims that had been acting execrably, and for centuries:

 

"For three centuries up to the time of the Treaty, the Mediterranean Sea lanes had been preyed on by the North African Muslim states of the Barbary Coast (Tripoli, Algiers, Morocco and Tunis) through privateering (government-sanctioned piracy). Hostages captured by the Barbary pirates were either ransomed or forced into slavery, contributing to the greater Ottoman slave trade (of which the Barbary states were a segment). Life for the captives often was harsh, especially for Christian captives, and many died from their treatment. Some captives "went Turk", that is, converted to Islam, a choice that made life in captivity easier for them."

We all know that Hillary has no soul.   She'd behead a small Muslim child on prime time, national TV if she thought it would get her pantsuit in the White House.  And for a few million $$ more, she'd drink its blood.

"This country was founded upon Enlightenment principles. "

 

Sure, but only if you were a white, preferably Anglo Saxon male. 

 

The enlightenment was fatal for the Indegenous and Blacks

Doesn't it follow then that we must also ban progressives, for they are the ones who support limitless muslim invasion?

It follows that once discrimination against one religion has been established any religion can be targeted by the same means.

you must be one of those low IQ republicans that infests ZH these days, that carl was talking about.

let me spell it out for you, sport.

your religion (and theirs) can discriminate all it wants, no problem.

the state cannot be allowed to discriminate, as it is (at least in theory), a system of laws by which *all* people in the nation must abide.

it's called the first amendment:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

rights for citizens don't apply to the entire world

agreed.

let's start with rights for citizens being upheld, for citizens.

it's not an "establishment of religion" to bar Muslims, dumbass

 

explain to me why your ridiculous first amendment interpretation wouldn't permit the practice of a religion that practiced human sacrifice

well, dumbass, if you had bothered to get to this part: "nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof", that would be the relevant phrase.

it's not my interpretation, it's the VERY FIRST amendment to the constitution that the country was founded on, people can practice whatever phony baloney made up religion they want. if you don't like america, get the hell out!

i don't see any problem with "practice of a religion that practiced human sacrifice", as long as all participants are voluntary. if someone is "sacrificing" an unwilling participant, that's called murder, and anyone doing that should be put in jail or executed.

hope that cleared things up for you!

What about a religion that inspires homicidal bombers and cop killers all in the name of being "pro-life?" Should that religion be banned?

Some old book says, "you reap what you sow." Do you know what that means?

BTW, you better take down that Christmas tree before it offends someone.

I'm surprised those voracious peeples [with tender sensibilities] have not forced Christmas trees out of Walmart like they forced out Confedrate flags?

I'll get real upset if they start banning pork from grocery stores.

 

That's where I draw the red Line.

 

Don't touch my pork filets!

Chicken has gone up too much in price, as has beef. Plus, beef is hormone raised, antibiotic saturated and injected with saline solutions and mixed with pink slime and red dyes before it hits the stores.

 

Pure pork is still the best buy and much healthier for you.

 

Yes, dat's where I draw da line!
