According to records obtained by the Southern Poverty Law Center Mair was a dedicated supporter of the National Alliance (NA), the once premier neo-Nazi organization in the United States, for decades. Mair purchased a manual from the NA in 1999 that included instructions on how to build a pistol. Mair, who resides in what is described as a semi-detached house on the Fieldhead Estate in Birstall, sent just over $620 to the NA, according to invoices for goods purchased from National Vanguard Books, the NA’s printing imprint. Mair purchased subscriptions for periodicals published by the imprint and he bought works that instruct readers on the “Chemistry of Powder & Explosives,” “Incendiaries,” and a work called “Improvised Munitions Handbook.” Under “Section III, No. 9” (page 125) of that handbook, there are detailed instructions for constructing a “Pipe Pistol For .38 Caliber Ammunition” from components that can be purchased from nearly any hardware store. The NA may be best-known for the work of its now-deceased founder, William Pierce, a former physics professor who also wrote racist novels. One, The Turner Diaries, tells the post-apocalyptic fictional story of a white man fighting in a race war that may have provided inspiration for Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. The Daily Telegraph also reported that Mair was a subscriber to S. A. Patriot, a South African magazine published by White Rhino Club, a pro-apartheid group. The club describes that magazine’s editorial stance as opposed to “multi-cultural societies” and “expansionist Islam.” According to the Daily Telegraph, a January 2006 blog post attributed to the group described Mair as “one of the earliest subscribers and supporters of S. A. Patriot.”

Dozens of U.S. Diplomats, in Memo, Urge Strikes Against Syria’s Assad – The New York Times {New Neo-Con Spin to “force” US to start another failed Middle East War?}
{The Foreign Service is a corps of some 13,000 employees}
More than have signed an internal memo sharply critical of the Obama administration’s policy in Syria, urging the United States to carry out military strikes against the government of President Bashar al-Assad to stop its persistent violations of a cease-fire in the country’s five-year-old civil war. The memo, a draft of which was provided to The New York Times by a State Department official, says American policy has been “overwhelmed” by the unrelenting violence in Syria. It calls for “a judicious use of stand-off and air weapons, which would undergird and drive a more focused and hard-nosed U.S.-led diplomatic process.”

Jo Cox attack: shots, screams and sadness outside a West Yorkshire library | UK news | The Guardian
“All of a sudden, I heard people screaming and shouting,” said Hicham Ben Abdallah, who runs the Azzurro restaurant. “I went outside and I saw this guy kicking something in between two cars. There was another man trying to restrain him and he was screaming and stabbed him.” .”AdvertisementCox was lying in the street between parked cars in a pool of blood as two women from a nearby cafe ran out clutching towels to the sound of sirens from the emergency services.“Police started to arrive,” said Watson. “And then more and more police came and more and more people were surrounding where it happened.”Mair was seen by many walking slowly away past the library. “No one approached him,” said Watson. “Everyone just let him go and ran towards people over there.”Two unarmed uniformed officers pursued Mair as he left the area, wrestling him to the ground.“There was loads of screaming and shouting and the police officers showed up,” said Howard. “He was shouting ‘Britain first’ when he was doing it and being arrested.”Over nearly an hour, paramedics and a doctor tended to the MP, who at one point was seen to be conscious and propping herself up on an elbow. But at 1.48pm she was pronounced dead.

New York’s Own Anti-Gay Massacre, Now Barely Remembered – The New York Times
“He aimed his Uzi at a group of men standing in line outside the Ramrod bar and squeezed the trigger,” Edward M. Alwood wrote in “Straight News: Gays, Lesbians and the News Media.”“Blood spattered against the wall and door as bullets ripped into one man’s shoulder and another man’s arm,” Mr. Alwood wrote. “In barely the time it takes to light a cigarette, 40 rounds tore into the crowd.“As bullets sprayed the front window of the bar, panic swept the crowd inside. Customers dropped to the floor. Several crawled to a stairway at the back of the building in a desperate attempt to survive.”Vernon Koenig, 21, an organist at nearby St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, was killed instantly. Jorg Wenz, a 24-year-old Dutch immigrant working as a doorman at the Ramrod, died at St. Vincent’s Hospital after an hourslong struggle by doctors to save his life.Olaf Gravesen, 37, and John Litaker, 36, were wounded out on the sidewalk. John Gamrecki, 27, was hit inside the Ramrod. Thomas Ron, 54, was hit inside Sneakers. (Different accounts give varying name spellings and ages for the victims.)PhotoRonald K. Crumpley, the gunman, the morning after the shooting. “I’ll kill them all — the gays — they ruin everything,” he was reported to have said. Credit Jeffrey D. SmithMr. Crumpley made it plain to the police that he would have been satisfied with a higher toll.“I’ll kill them all — the gays — they ruin everything,” he was reported to have said.Though nowhere near as deadly as the shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla., or the arson fire at the UpStairs Lounge in New Orleans that killed 32 in 1973, the West Street rampage chills those who remember it.“It was especially stunning because it was hitting at the heart of what was the epicenter of gay life,” Mr. Alwood said this week.

Mother Of 11 Killed In Orlando Shooting
“Brenda saw [gunman Omar Mateen] point the gun. She said, ‘Get down,’ to Isaiah and she got in front of him. She was shot dead. That’s how much she loved her kids. If it weren’t for her, he’d [have] been shot,” Pressley told the NY Daily News. Henderson was separated from his mother during the ensuing terror and was later rescued by police. McCool’s eldest daughter, Khalisha Pressley, told NBC News that Henderson feels at fault for his mother’s death. “He had to watch his mother die. He saw everybody getting killed,” she said. “He feels it was his fault.”

Violence and Contradictions on the Path to a Gay Nightclub – The New York Times
“Why did he do this?” his father asked. “He was born in America. He went to school in America. He went to college — why did he do that?” “I am as puzzled as you are.”

Homophobia and a “desire” to go out in blaze of delusionary “glory” makes more sense than the arguments above. Very similar to Timothy McVeigh of Oklahoma City infamy!
Israel spin doctors move to exploit Orlando massacre | The Electronic Intifada
Similarly, Israel Hayom, the pro-Netanyahu newspaper owned by casino billionaire, Republican financier and anti-Palestinian donor Sheldon Adelson, ran photos of Orlando shooter Omar Mateen alongside Neshat Melhem, a Palestinian citizen of Israel who killed three Israelis on New Year’s Day, with the slogan, “A chilling similarity.” But as +972 Magazine noted, the only similarity is that the men had shaved heads and glasses, and that they came from Muslim backgrounds. Israel Hayom pointedly did not mention what +972 Magazine called “the more obvious parallel – between Mateen and Yishai Schlissel, who attacked the Jerusalem Pride Parade in June 2015 and murdered a teenage girl with a knife.” Schlissel, a Jewish extremist, had served time in prison for a similar attack a decade earlier.

Massacre in Orlando: Most victims in Orlando shooting were of Hispanic descent | In English | EL PAÍS
Danny Concepción, a 47-year-old Puerto Rican man, has come to ask for information about his 50-year-old cousin, who went to the club with her 22-year-old son. Orlando officials say her cousin is not on the list of the 53 wounded, which means that, though there is no official announcement yet, she is dead. “She was a single mother raising two sons, a 10-year-old and an 11-year-old who lived with her,” Concepción says. She had five other children from other relationships and she was close with the son whom she accompanied to the nightclub. He was gay and she wanted to be part of his world. “She never judged him,” Concepción says. The son has survived the attack but he saw his mother get shot at the club.
I Moved Into a House With Lots of Windows. Here’s Why I Had to Cover Them Up – The Ladies FingerThe Ladies Finger
There are these tics I’ve developed—a reflexive check out of the windows at that streetlight; my heartbeat speeding up a little when I hear a scooter pass by. I’ve made myself sit in that room, read in it, and write in it. I haven’t yet managed to fall asleep in it. I tell myself that this too, shall pass. And if it doesn’t—well, nobody needs to know. The streetlight stands, grey and ordinary, amidst the green that has sprung up after the rains. The curtains flutter blue and white under the creaking ceiling fan, thin enough to let the light in, opaque enough to keep the world out.

If we can’t recognize the links between any kind of sexual harassment and more grave sexual assault, then there is a disconnect. If you think Brock Turner’s behavior is despicable, but see no issue with harmless catcalls, then there is a disconnect. Is every man who catcalls a woman in the street a potential rapist? No. But, every man who catcalls a woman is demonstrating a belief that women exist for men’s viewing pleasure, that they are fair game for foul comments. And that line of thinking is dangerous. When we shrug off street harassment and sexual innuendo, when we minimize indecent behavior and sexist jibes, we are advocating for a world where women are oppressed and objectified. As Ann Voskamp said, “When the prevailing thinking is that boys will be boys, girls will be garbage.” We owe it to ourselves, as women, to stand up and speak out. Remember, silence is often misconstrued as acquiescence.
