Conservative Outrage Over Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Getting The COVID-19 Vaccine!

Still in the controversial Guantanamo Bay detention, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is getting the COVID-19 vaccine. It's got the exploit 9/11 crowd angry.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

GOOGLE'S BLOGGER IS TRASH!

The Republicans are going to get a wake up call in 2022 if they don't pull their heads out their asses. They better get use to the new norms.

We have far-right terrorists in our own country.

There's outrage because over distribution of COVID-19 vaccines being issued to men who were financiers to the September 11, 2001 attack. Still without a trial, the detainees at the military detention camp are not given a trial. 

The New York Post, The Daily Sun, Fox News and The Daily Mail are far-right propaganda and they are looking for ways to undermine President Joe Biden. 

We have over 450,000 people in the United States dead from the coronavirus. We have more lives lost to a pandemic than a terrorist attack caused by foreign operatives.

We must never forget 9/11.

But we must forget 1/6/2021, the worst domestic terrorist attack on our nation's democracy. This event was inspired by an idiot president who hoped his mob would pressure Republicans to not certify his successor. 

This is what Republicans want us to think about! Remember 9/11 and Benghazi. 

Remember Hillary Clinton's emails, Hunter Biden's laptop, Lois Lerner and Barack Obama spying on Trump. Yes, let's worry about conspiracies over facts. 

But let's ignore Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Rita, Hurricane Maria, Russia meddling in our elections, Charlottesville, the pandemic and the insurrection. 

Instead of having compassion for human lives, we're back to resorting to fear-mongering and Islamophobia. 

So the accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will get the COVID vaccine.

Mohammed and other detainees at Guantanamo Bay will begin receiving the coronavirus vaccine, the Pentagon confirmed Friday.

A spokesman for the Department of Defense confirmed that officials had signed an order which will see COVID-19 vaccinations “offered to all detainees and prisoners.”

The American military has occupied the Guantanamo peninsula in Cuba. The Cuban government wants the Americans to end its sovereignty on their land.

“It will be administered on a voluntary basis and in accordance with the Department’s priority distribution plan,” spokesman Michael Howard told The New York Post.

The order was signed on Jan. 27 by Terry Adirim, the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs who was sworn in as a Biden appointee on Inauguration Day, a Pentagon spokesman confirmed.

So apparently, the news got back to the far-right and as expected, outrage.

“You can’t make this up. The ridiculousness of what we get from our government. They will run the vaccine down to those lowlifes at Guantanamo Bay before every resident of the United States of America gets it is the theater of the absurd,” said Tom Von Essen, who was city Fire Commissioner during 9/11 and lost 343 firefighters on 9/11.

“It’s fucking nuts,” he said.   

John Feal, a demolition supervisor at the Ground Zero pile in the aftermath of the attacks who has various 9/11-related illnesses, and who has not yet gotten the vaccine, was stunned by the news.

“The fact that the 9/11 community can’t get the vaccine and the terrorists can show how backward our government is,” he told The Post. “It’s the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever heard. It’s an insult to the people who ran into the towers and were killed and those who worked on the pile for months and are ill.”

The average 9/11 responder was 38 at the time and are now age 58-59, short of the cutoff to get the vaccine in New York, said Feal, who runs the Feal Good Foundation, an advocacy group for 9/11 responders and who helped push Congress to permanently extend the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund.

Brian Sullivan, a retired special security agent with the Federal Aviation Administration, said, “I’m incensed. It’s totally outrageous. I’m 75. I haven’t gotten my COVID vaccine. They’re going to give it Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?”

Sullivan added it’s a scandal that the terrorists haven’t faced justice approaching the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. “This news adds insult to injury. It’s slap in the face to the 9/11 victims’ families,” Sullivan said.

“This year will be the 20th anniversary and the terrorists are still at Guantanamo. And now we’re going to give them the COVID vaccine. It’s just insane.”

Two other men, accused of being accomplices to the 2002 nightclub bombings in Bali, which killed 202 people, would also be in line to get the vaccines under the Defense Dept. order.

The Pentagon’s decision comes as states like New York complain that their cupboards are bare, forcing them to cancel a mass inoculation program, and the Biden administration warns that shortages of the jab will last well into 2021.

On Tuesday, The Post revealed that thousands of New York City teachers have had their COVID-19 vaccine appointments canceled due to dwindling supply and scheduling snafus.

“It is inexcusable and un-American that President Biden is choosing to prioritize convicted terrorists in Gitmo over vulnerable American seniors or veterans,” said Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY).

Retired FDNY Lt. Michael O’Connell worked search and rescue when the towers fell. It left him with sarcoidosis, an auto immune disease.

“This is a real kick in the balls. It’s very upsetting. It’s absolutely disgusting,” he said of the Gitmo vaccination order.

The lawyers for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed have demanded he has a fair trial.

“These terrorists committed harm but the patriots are the one who have to wait to get vaccinated. We responded within 10 seconds of when the first plane crashed into the building. Here we are a year later [since the COVID-19 outbreak] and the politicians can’t get it right on the coronavirus vaccine.”

I find it quick funny that Stefanik and many Republicans put on this straight face when it comes to outrage. Under Donald J. Trump, we have lost Americans through gun violence, natural disasters, a global pandemic, domestic terrorism and suicide.

These morons can't fathom the fact that we're on pace of losing 1 million Americans to the pandemic.

Stefanik was one of the many Republicans who refuse to pass the September 11 Firefighters and Patrolman health and financial assistance bill. This is the bill championed by Jon Stewart. 

Stewart who recently joined Twitter would be proud to point out the bullshit from folks like Stefanik and conservative agitators.

The Republicans have no room to talk about terrorism. They allowed the September 11, 2001 attack happen under their watch. George W. Bush like Trump ignored the warnings from the Presidential Daily Briefings. 

They want to exploit 9/11 for petty grievances. Screw that. 

If you ask me, the United States has to treat everyone. 

Under Joe Biden's administration, federal interns and detainees held still at controversial Guantanamo Bay military detention camp must be treated as well. They still have no trial and Congress refuses to have them tried in federal court on the mainland.

We must end the lawlessness of our government. Due process for all criminals. 

Innocent until proven guilty folks.

They deserve the vaccine as well. Why spread the disease to the military officers who are stationed at Guantanamo?
