Fun Facts About Major Hasan

Nancy Gibbs has dropped some interesting titbits about Major Hasan in her Time article, "Fort Hood Killer: Terrified or Terrorist?". Let us remember that these are some things the establishment media want us to take away about the man who was the star of this event of November 5, also the date of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605 to blow up Parliament.

1. He told his Imam before the attack that he was going to visit his parents before deploying to Afghanistan without mentioning that his parents had been dead for over a decade.
2. He was some kind of misfit who couldn't find a wife but spent lots of time in the strip club outside the base.
3. He had few friends; he was a loner but he loved his parakeet and chewed food for it before he let the bird eat out of his mouth. He mourned for months after he killed it by rolling over it during a nap and visited the grave of the creature for months.
4. He changed his major in medical school to psychiatry after fainting while watching a baby being born.
5. Why he had a problem finding a wife in America: "He wanted a woman who prayed five times a day and wears a hijab, and maybe the women he met were not complying with those things." the former imam of his mosque Faizul Khan told the New York Times.
6. While serving a Walter Reed Army Medical Center he attempted to convert patients and castigated them for their "unholy" behavior.
7. While in military training he let everyone know he put Shari'a, Muslim Law, ahead of the Constitution.
8. NPR reported that in the spring of 2008 top officials at Walter Reed debated whether Hasan was psychotic. Everyone agreed that no one would want to share a foxhole with Hasan in Afghanistan.

This piece describes the problems the military has dealing with Muslims and probably predicts what changes will be coming as a result of this event. Mainly, implies Time, Muslims in the military have been protected by "political correctness" and (I extrapolate) they can expect much tougher treatment if they display any unusual attachment to their religion or argue the morality of our far flung deployments in Muslim lands. I also predict conscientious objector status will be made much more available to Muslims.

There is a LINK in the Time feature called "Inside the Apartment of Nidal Malik Hasan." It is a collection of photos (presumably taken by the FBI) of Hasan's sparse digs. One photograph is very interesting. LINK It shows a collection of Hasan's prescription drug bottles. One was prescribed at Lackland AFB and contains combivir, an HIV medicine. Perhaps Hasan was taking it as an HIV prophylactic after being exposed to an infected patient. I'm definitely not an expert on that. I can't make out the other drug names on the bottles.

Paging Dr. Jerkoff, Dr. Wanker, Dr. Jerkoff!

You will be hearing a lot about this guy in the next news distraction cycle. Here's the story:

"Hundreds of women have trusted him with their bodies, and their dreams of motherhood. Many depend on him as their doctor today.

But for nearly seven years, none of Dr. Ben D. Ramaley's patients have known that the prominent obstetrician/gynecologist had been accused of an almost unimaginable act — substituting his own sperm for that of a patient's husband during an artificial insemination procedure.

The allegation was made against the veteran Greenwich, Conn., doctor in a 2005 medical malpractice lawsuit – which was quickly settled, then sealed, the very court documents shredded. The suit was filed by a couple when a DNA test revealed that the husband was not the biological father of their twin girls, born after an insemination procedure performed by Ramaley."-Debra Friedman, Hearst News Service "Wrong man's sperm produces twins-and a shocking accusation" the rest: (LINK)

It's a little convoluted but this guy's game began to fall apart when he substituted his own jizz for a patient's husband's apparently thinking the woman wouldn't notice the fact that her kids showed no resemblance to Daddy or maybe the good doctor just didn't know his patient's husband was black. There could be a lot of half brothers and sisters in Greenwich, Connecticut who might want DNA tests to avoid incestual relationships in the coming years.

words reportedly spoken by Hasan before opening fire Thursday

"If one suicide bomber can kill 100 enemy soldiers because they were caught off guard that would be considered a strategic victory. Their intention is not to die because of some despair. The same can be said for the Kamikazees in Japan. They died (via crashing their planes into ships) to kill the enemies for the homeland. You can call them crazy i[f] you want but their act was not one of suicide that is despised by Islam. So the scholars main point is that “It seems as though your intention is the main issue” and Allah (SWT) knows best." Presumed posting by Major Malik Hasan May 20, 2009 (LINK)

Koran [8.39] Shakir: ...fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah...



All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
-Shakespeare, Jacques, II, 7, As You Like It

Much more is going on at Fort Hood than meets the eye.

“The shooter was killed. He was a soldier. We since then have apprehended two additional soldiers who are suspects, and I would go into the point that there were eyewitness accounts that there may have been more than one shooter.”- Lieutenant General Robert Cone, November 5, 2009

What's With Virginia Tech?

On April 16, 2007 Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 people in a two-part shooting rampage at Virginia Polytech Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia. Cho's medical records were mysteriously removed from the University by Robert Miller, former head of the Cook Counseling Center at the university in 2006, when he left the employ of the school. These records were missing for over two years until July 2009 and certainly there was adequate time to scrub them of sensitive information. (LINK). If one needs to confirm that Cho was not quite in his right mind, his legacy of videos can be found on Youtube (LINK).

We may begin to raise the question of what may be going on at Virginia Tech in light of the shootings by malcontent Major Nidal Malik Hasan on November 5, 2009 at Fort Hood. Hasan graduated from Virginia Tech with a bachelor's degree in biochemistry before attending medical school at Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. Why did it take so long for the military to get its story straight on this one? Sgt. Munley was dead then she's not dead; Hasan is dead then he's not dead; there are two others arrested but there's no plot and they've been let go. Oh yeah, that's just the fog of war.

"Whether he became angry or something else, I don't know... What I do know is that it is impossible that he would do something like that."-Ismail Mustafa Hamad, grandfather of Nidal Malik Hasan (I know, consider the source.)

Ironically, Sgt. Kimberly Munley quickly and bravely acted to bring down Hasan using lessons learned from Cho's attack at Virginia Tech. (Correction: November 13, 2009, Munley was shot by Hasan and then Senior Sgt. Mark Todd brought down Hasan according to a report in the New York Times yesterday. I suspect this story will keep changing and changing.)

"The lesson from Virginia Tech was, don't wait for backup but move to the target and eliminate the shooter.It requires courage and it requires skill."-Chuck Medley, chief of Fort Hood's emergency services.

Now we wait to see how quickly a knee jerk Congress acts to further limit access to guns. I would rather see Congress act to more easily remove obviously disturbed and untrustworthy individuals from the military.

Cathy O'Brien, in her fantastic (and by that I mean I suspect there is a lot of fantasy in them) books TranceFormation of America (1995) and Access Denied: For Reasons of National Security (2004) stated that she had been processed at a DARPA mind control facility near Virginia Tech at Blacksburg. I suspect Cathy has some imprinted false bizarre memories in her subconscious that were inserted to discredit her story (at least I hope some of her tales are fantasy), but this claim becomes much more reasonable after the deadly antics of Cho and Hasan.
