Facts About the Oklahoma City Beheader

Friday, September 26th, 2014

A few random facts about the Oklahoma beheader, Alton Nolen, AKA Jah’Keem Yisrael, AKA Alton Threadgill (the name on his Facebook profile):

  • The Oklahoma Department of Corrections lists his birthdate as 08/16/1984 and gives his vital statistics as “Black Male; 6 ft. 0 in. tall; 198 pounds; Black hair; Brown eyes.”
  • He has four tattoos, including one reading AS-SALAAMU ATAIKUM (the traditional Muslim greeting of “Peace be upon you”).
  • He has a long criminal rap sheet including multiple drug charges, escape from detention and assault on a police officer.
  • His attack was stopped by a lawful gun owner: “Mark Vaughan, who is the chief operating officer of Vaughan Foods and is also an Oklahoma County reserve deputy, confronted Nolen, and at that time shot him and stopped the threat and the assault.”
  • He reportedly converted to Islam while in prison.
  • His Facebook Page shows a propensity for SCREAMING CAPITAL LETTERS in his Muslim proselytizing.
  • As of this writing he has 1,554 Facebook friends.
  • Actual example of his prose and thinking:

    I WANTED TO UPLOAD THIS VIDEO TO SCHOOL EVERYBODY ON HOW THE MEXICANS, PUERTO RICANS AND DOMINICANS ARE SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE BUT ARE DIFFERENT SKIN COLORS. WELL AFTER THE ISRAELITES FLED ISRAEL (THE WHITE SPANIARDS CAUGHT AND ENSLAVED THEM AND RAPED THEM FROM THEIR ORIGINAL LANGUAGE WHICH WAS HEBREW AND FORCED THEM TO SPEAK SPANISH!!!!

  • He also had some interesting theories on the income tax:

    For u Muslims under Islam Its a Major sin in Islam to pay taxes. If u tryna reach Janna you literally can go to your job Human Resource office and file exempt on your 1040s -You have to note that your Muslim!

  • And on history

Happy JuneTeenth!!!!!!

  • I’m going to guess these earlier quotes (from 2012) date from before his conversion:

    The prose exhibited in his Facebook post certainly do not suggest a college education. Or perhaps Langston University’s curriculum is not exactly rigorous…

  • A Twitter user reports: “The Oklahoma press conference is long over and the probably 30-40 muslims are still hanging around. Some passing out pro-islam literature…I must note none of the muslims have mentioned violence yet none have condemned this attack.”

  • Ted Cruz hails from the Republican wing of the Republican Party.

  • Muslim Brotherhood calls on followers to tourch Coptic churches.
  • The Jewish community isn’t wild about Alice Walker’s new book. Uh, guys? Given that Walker believes in David Icke’s shapeshifting lizard people, I’d say rational political discourse isn’t in her wheelhouse.

    Texas Senate Race Update for January 11, 2012

    Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

    I expect the campaigns to start announcing Q4 fundraising results any day now, and I just sent off a list of interview questions to the Craig James campaign today. So here’s one final news roundup of the senate race before an expected avalanche of news.

  • Young Conservative of Texas endorse Ted Cruz.
  • Though tickets are gone, you can catch Thursday’s Texas Public Policy Foundation candidate debate the live webcast.
  • A brief overview of the candidates in that debate.
  • The Statesman notes the absence of Lt. Governor Chupacabra at that Williamson County candidate forum.
  • Craig James unveils his first ad, talking about how awesome…Rick Perry is. Hmmm. Rick Perry + Craig James = Rick James???

  • And speaking of James (Craig, not Rick), heh. It was still up as of this posting…
  • James also appeared on the Joe Pagliarulo show on KPRC-AM 950 in Houston:

    Looking at James’ Twitter feed, he seems to have done a number of radio shows.

  • Ross Ramsey wonders why James is running.
  • Cruz, Dewhurst, Tom Leppert and James will all be appearing at a March 2 debate sponsored by The Dallas Morning News.
  • An interesting piece on a David Dewhurst proposal (or maybe just a trial balloon idea) for, not an illegal alien amnesty “path to citizenship,” but a path to a work visa, in which “if an undocumented/Illegal resident paid for thumb prints, criminal background checks, and verification of residence, we could grant them a two year Visa…renewable only if they have not been convicted of a felony and have paid their taxes.” I’m not sure if this is the right place to mention it. I’m not in complete agreement with the writer, but I will say that Dewhurst’s proposal is far from the worst illegal alien proposal I’ve read.
  • Back on October 11, I noted that Cruz had picked up the endorsements of “over 115 leaders of the Texas Federation of Republican Women.” The Cruz campaign has now upped that count to over 200 leader Republican women.
  • Still waiting for Democrats Paul Sadler to put up a campaign website, and Jason Gibson to put up one that’s more than a placeholder. Come on people, putting up a page with a brief bio and a donation link is not that freaking hard. With Daniel Boone not having updated his pages in over a month, maybe Sean Hubbard will capture the Democratic nomination simply because he can update his Facebook and Twitter feeds.
  • Texas 2012 Senate Race Information Sources Round 2: Facebook Boogaloo

    Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

    (I know, tired meme is tired. But I just like saying “Facebook Boogaloo.”)

    It being the second decade of the 21st century and all, it occurs to me that merely providing links to the individual candidates blogs is probably insufficient to keep up with their latest statements. So, in the interest of providing myself a handy cheat sheet informing my readers of the latest developments, here are the major candidates’ Facebook pages (plus that of the undeclared Dewhurst):

  • Ted Cruz
  • David Dewhurst
  • Elizabeth Ames Jones
  • Tom Leppert
  • Michael Williams
  • Roger Williams
  • Oh, and in case you think numbers of Facebook fans are a serious measure of popularity 11 months before an election (I don’t), here are the number of “likes” for each candidate’s respective pages:

  • Ted Cruz: 57,128
  • David Dewhurst: 21,320
  • Elizabeth Ames Jones: 8,018
  • Tom Leppert: 1,268
  • Michael Williams: 7,871
  • Roger Williams: 6,191
  • Now some more race tidbits:

  • According to an interview with him, Lt. Governor David Dewhurst may not run for the Senate in 2012, opting instead to run for Governor in 2014.
  • Interview with Michael Williams at GOP-Is-For-Me. (Psst: Michael: Twitter and Facebook are fine and all, but I shouldn’t have to go past the News/Blog page of your website to find this.)
  • And speaking of Michael Williams, he raised $500,000 in the first quarter of this year, significantly behind what Cruz and Leppert have announced they’ve raised.
  • Some musing from the new Texas Iconclast blog on what those numbers mean.
  • How Facebook Responded to Tunisian Hacks

    Monday, January 24th, 2011

    I still don’t feel like I have a good handle on the Tunisian Revolution yet. (Indeed, my fingers keep wanting to type “Tunesian,” which suggests a government based on iTunes…) Jihadi? Non-Jihadi? Both? (Probably the the last.) But the fact that the government-owned ISPs were running a massive “man in the middle” attack by capturing every password for Facebook (and what the Facebook team did about it, certainly suggests that the (semi-deposed) government were no angels. In fact, it brings back memories of East Germany, where Stasi monitoring stations were literally built right on top of telephone exchanges…

    (And speaking of the Stasi, if you haven’t done so already, you should see The Lives of Others, one of the greatest films of the last decade…)

    This Week in Jihad

    Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

    Though I’m going to be concentrating heavily on election coverage the next three weeks, the rest of the world doesn’t stop just because the U.S. is having an election. Here’s a roundup of this week’s problems with Jihad, Islamists, Sharia, Islam, and the Middle East in general. (You might also have noticed that I’ve added a Foreign Policy/Jihad links section.)

    So here’s a week’s worth of (mostly depressing) developments:

    Facebook Caves

    Thursday, May 20th, 2010

    Sadly, the grand poobahs at Facebook have caved into the Islamic Extremists: the main Everybody Draw Mohammed Day Facebook page has been “disappeared” in the last hour or so; clicking on it just brings you back to your main Facebook page.

    Sad.

    Edited 5/22 to add: Now back up again and, according to them, not Facebook’s doing.

    Reminder: Everybody Draw Mohammed Day is Tomorrow, May 20

    Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

    Just a reminder that tomorrow, May 20th, is Everybody Draw Mohammed Day. Sites participating in the event include:

    Note that many of the images on those sites are NSFW.

    A couple of them have already put up my craptacular contribution.

    Some are wondering if this demonstration of First Amendment rights will have any influence on the real world. Given that the Pakistani government has blocked Facebook over the Everybody Draw Mohammed Day group there, I would say that it already has. If we allow ourselves to have the limits of our freedom of expressions set by the most extremist elements of global radical Islam, then the First Amendment is doomed.

    So all those who oppose letting the First Amendment wither under the twin assaults of radical Islam and political correctness should get drawing!
