Is it Racist to Advocate Repatriation of Somali Refugees? Or is it Somali Patriotism?

Is it racist to advocate for the repatriation of Somali refugees from America back to their homeland? Or patriotic?  Somali patriotism.

Minnesota, Colorado, Wisconsin and Ohio have given sanctuary to many Somalis fleeing war conditions in Somalia.

“Since the 1990s more than 100,000 Somalis have come to America as refugees. Many settled in the Minneapolis-St Paul area, which today is home to around 75,000 immigrants from Somalia and their children. The Cedar-Riverside neighbourhood in the Twin Cities is sometimes called “Little Mogadishu”. After they arrived, Somalis clustered and kept to themselves;….. Somali women made little effort to learn English.

……Somalis are one of the most troubled groups of immigrants. Many young Somali men are in prison; many Somalis of both sexes drop out of high school. Unemployment hovers around 21%, the highest of Minnesota’s five largest immigrant groups. More than half of Minnesota’s Somalis are poor. Many are isolated from other immigrants and even from other Muslims, who find them prickly, proud and standoffish….THE ECONOMIST”.

This Blogger published a Blog on February 2, 2016 which broached the issue of expeditious repatriation of Somali refugees: Globalized Diversity is Antithetical to American Black Workers........ http://themaxeychronicles.blogspot.com/2016/02/who-cares-about-oscar-diversity-when.html

This Blogger believes that America should cease and desist importation of Somali refugees immediately. And since the capital city of Somalia, Mogadishu, has been secured by African Union troops, the United States should expedite the return of Somalis to their homeland…..THE MAXEY CHRONICLES.”

Since that Blog, Somalis have been in the news, for various reasons.

In Ohio: “In Columbus, Ohio, Mohamed Barry, a Muslim man of Somali background, attacked several people with a machete at Nazareth Restaurant -- a business owned by a pro-Israel Arab Christian. Police later shot and killed Barry when he lunged at them with a machete and knife.
Mr. Barry  had come to the attention of the FBI four years ago for radical comments, law enforcement officials said….Columbus Dispatch.”
In Minnesota Somali youths are on trial for attempting to go to Syria and fight with ISIS:” …..Opening arguments began in federal court Wednesday in a case prosecutors say marks a significant moment in the effort to convict American men who have attempted to join and fight alongside Islamic State in Syria.Women dressed in abayas — family members of the defendants — partially filled the gallery as prosecutors vowed to show how a group of young men from Minneapolis' large Somali American community were radicalized by Islamic State and Al Qaeda-affiliated propaganda and formed plans to leave the U.S.
Mohamed Abdihamid Farah, Abdirahman Yasin Daud and Guled Ali Omar face charges of conspiring to commit murder outside the U.S. and providing material support to a terrorist organization by joining Islamic State.
Officials said the men tried to leave the United States by taking buses to catch flights in New York or to cross into Mexico from San Diego to begin their journey to Syria.
At least two others have pleaded guilty to related charges and agreed to testify for the prosecution…...”
In the prosecution's opening argument Wednesday, Winter said the young Somali American men first became interested in going to Syria after two of their friends, Hanad Mohallim and Abdi Nur, made the journey to Syria. There, Nur and Mohallim began posting Islamic State glamour shots of themselves on social media, posing with Kalashnikov assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades, prosecutors said.
In one Twitter post shown by prosecutors, Nur sent what he called a message to America from Islamic State: “We love death more than you love life.”
…."My son Guled [Omar] is a very good young man," Fadumo Hussein said through an interpreter. "One of those young men you can trust.... He never did anything wrong and never will."
The mothers also expressed concerns that the jury was all white.
"Although there are no people of color on the jury, we are still expecting them to be fair," Daud's mother, Farhiyo Mohamed, said through an interpreter….LOS ANGELES TIMES.”
This Blogger has a different theory of the case; we can never win the War Against Terror on American soil by coddling potential Somali terrorists. If Somali youths want to go to Syria, let them go, and then assassinate them en route to Syria or when they try to return to America.

On January 9, 2015, this Blogger outlined his policy thusly(http://themaxeychronicles.blogspot.com/2015/01/colonel-mathieu-reflections-on-massacre.html.

…Can Islamist Terrorism be stopped? Yes it can....if Western Civilization has the political will and the moral hypocrisy to do it. Terrorism has been exterminated before; Islamist terrorism has been extinguished before. Islamic terrorism is not invincible.

There are few people willing or capable of carrying out a terrorist attack;….
It is common knowledge that there are few terrorists in the world, either on a per capita basis or on an absolute basis; with that common knowledge it is possible to develop a working strategy to defeat terrorism. The strategy is simplistic, pragmatic and deadly.

Kill as many terrorists as possible, as fast as possible, so that they can’t replenish their ranks.

Terrorism dies from aggressive attrition.….It can be done. 

Western Civilization KNOWS how to win this war against terrorism.

Western Civilization KNOWS who the terrorists are; Western Civilization also KNOWS who the potential terrorists are.

What to do about the terrorists and potential terrorists who flit about, traveling to the Caliphate or Yemen or Pakistan  and then returning to the West  to plot the destruction of Western Civilization.

Assassinate them.

….The terrorists should be assassinated, on their journey to the Caliphate (all terrorists’ journeys are seemingly announced on social media) to fight for the Caliph. They should be assassinated in Turkey, Lebanon,Yemen,  Pakistan, Syria and Iraq. They should be assassinated on their way home from the Caliphate, or any other point of departure. They should be assassinated sightseeing in Cyprus.

….There is an obvious moral downside risk; innocents will be assassinated by mistake….Innocents die in war, innocents died during the Dresden firebombing; innocents certainly died at Hiroshima. Therefore the only moral justification for an assassination campaign is this- better their innocents die than ours…..THE MAXEY CHRONICLES.

Assassinating self-declared terrorists  in an existential death match between your Civilization and a vicious gaggle of terrorists.  mad with evil,  is a righteous policy. The Sunni Fanatics of ISIS intend to either kill or enslave the rest of the world.This is War at its most vile, Civilized Societies stooping to extrajudicial barbarity. Civilization can survive barbarity; Civilization cannot survive fanaticism. Civilization can survive such barbarous acts as Churchill bombing Dresden; Civilization could not have survived a Nazi victory.

This Blogger has discussed Somali repatriation before.

In October 2014, this Blogger published this Blog: The MAXEY CHRONICLES' Plan to Neutralize Home Grown, Lone Wolf Terrorists

The following is excerpted from that Blog:

This peculiar pathology of not treating enemies as enemies during war time leaves America, in the Age of Obama, incapable of surviving a modern Punic War, let alone winning it….. Somalis are a pool from which  Sunni Extremists draw a flood of radical recruits. Does any war logic, other than suicidal pathology, countenance importing into your homeland potential terrorists from the pool of your enemies?

Does it make any sense for a nation, America,  which supposedly wants to win an Existential Death Match with Sunni Extremists,  to continue to import Somalis into Minnesota, Ohio and Colorado during a war with Sunni Extremists?

Does any reasonable person think that Rome allowed massive importation of Carthaginians into Rome during their Existential Death Match with Carthage? …..….THE MAXEY CHRONICLES”.

On May 12, 2015, this Blogger published:: The War on Lone Wolf Terrorists is Being Lost Because Homeland Secretary Jeh Johnson Opposes Winning the War...

The following is excerpted from that Blog:

“Homeland Secretary Jeh Johnson has no concern about WINNING the war against Sunni domestic terrorists.There is a Liberal Pathology of importing into America, immigrants, and refugees  from  populations from which terrorists are deemed righteous. These Sunni Muslim Terrorists want to destroy the comity and safety of Americans, murdering random Americans for the sin of being Americans. These Sunni Terrorists and their fellow travelling converts are dedicated to wiping out the American Tribe.

Liberals must end their delusional denial; the Republic is at war with a fanatical subset of the Sunni Subset of the Islam religion. The Somalis of Minnesota are Sunni; their society produces Sunni fanatics. The Somali fanatic, Guled Ali Omar should have been allowed to exit America, and then assassinated en route to the Caliphate. It is war….THE MAXEY CHRONICLES.”

As for the families of potential terrorists, the answer to the Somali  Sunni fanaticism problem in Minnesota is not outreach but collective punishment.

On April 20, 2013, this Blogger published: The BROTHERS TSAMAEV, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar, and The Tsarnaev  Effect, http://themaxeychronicles.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-brothers-tsamaev-tamerlan-and.html

The following is excerpted from that Blog:

“….How best to address and contain, perhaps forestall the 1% terrorists we are importing?

What are they afraid off?

….Prison? No terrorist fears prison in the United States; he will self educate himself into a law degree, marry a lonely obese Southern white girl who has converted to Islam, and get a documentary made about him.

Death? A Muslim terrorist does not fear death, he EMBRACES IT( to use the verbiage of Boston). After martyrdom, the terrorist is in Heaven with 70 or more virgins. Why should a Sunni Muslim terrorist fear death? Death for a young male Muslim terrorist is the Playboy Mansion on steroids.

…. The answer is an amoral tweak in our immigration policy, or if you prefer, an immoral tweak in our immigration law.

The answer is collective punishment, selective collective punishment,  targeted collective punishment.

If an immigrant is convicted of terrorism, every relative not native born should be stripped of their citizenship and deported, no exceptions. The killer brothers had a covert support system; it is naïve to think they did not know. Somebody knew, and since their citizenship was not at stake they did not inform.

Under this tweak, the American Dream will be lost for the entire family, the extended family, not just the individual terrorists; the collective punishment  will turn the family against the terrorists. 

That is how we contain young immigrant terrorists, the Judas family.

This Blog grants that it is a disgusting policy, but the alternatives are more immigrant terrorist attacks or living in a perpetual police state. Better the Judas family than the alternatives…THE MAXEY CHRONICLES

Somali workers are having great difficulty assimilating into American society.

“May 2 — Employers in Colorado, Wisconsin and Minnesota are clashing with Muslim employees over taking prayer breaks at work…..

… EEOC charges,(were) filed on behalf of 21 Somali-American Muslim workers, involving allegations against AmesburyTruth, a manufacturing company in Owatonna, Minn., and Doherty Staffing Solutions, a temporary staffing agency in Edina, Minn., that referred many of the workers to the company for employment.

Since December, similar scenarios have unfolded between Muslim workers and their employers at a Cargill Inc. beef processing plant in Fort Morgan, Colo., and at Ariens Co., a power equipment manufacturer in Brillion, Wis.

…The 21 employees in Minnesota worked on an assembly line at a manufacturing plant, making hardware products such as doorknobs and hinges.
AmesburyTruth managers told them if they couldn't comply with their scheduled break times they could no longer work for the company….in Minnesota, a lot of similar cases are cropping up outside of the Twin Cities area, …, because more immigrant families are moving into rural areas and seeking employment. ….

.....Muslim employees who request accommodations to pray at work must take breaks based on changing conditions such as the time of the year and position of the sun, said Kathy Barnard, a Seattle-based attorney with Schwerin Campbell Barnard Iglitzin & Lavitt LLP.

“If you have an assembly line and every three minutes you have to move a lever or something then, yes, the employer has a right” to say the prayer breaks could pose an undue burden, she said. ….According to “An Employer's Guide to Islamic Religious Practices,” …., the time it takes to wash one's face, hands and feet with clean water before praying, in addition to engaging in prayer, is usually about 15 minutes.

...Last May, Ariens hired its first group of Somali Muslims, and then continued to hire more Muslim employees in the spring and summer. ... by October, …. Ariens had hired about 40 Somali-Muslim employees and this made scheduling prayer breaks “difficult to manage.”

….The complaints occurred because, when Muslim employees left their workstations for prayer breaks, their co-workers had to perform their job duties. 

“It was disruptive to the process,” …..

A similar issue unfolded in December at Cargill's beef processing facility in Colorado, which employs 2,050 workers…BLOOMBERG NA.”.

This Blogger thinks that the Somali issues in the workplace are unnecessary exercises, because those jobs should be held by Native born American Blacks.
No one is so inhumane that they relish repatriating  Somali refugees but the logic of saving the Black working class dictates that it must be done.

The current metrics and the clearly visible future informs all rational Americans that Draconian methods must be mandated and then enacted upon or the United States, as with all the Republics which preceded it, will flounder.

The continued greatness and power of the United States comes from understanding that America currently resides in a world of zero sum resources. 

Will striping Somalis of employment lead to an increase in domestic terrorism?

Not if the Somali population is repatriated to Somalia.

Repatriation is not a foreign idea to the American Experience, “during  last great Migration to America, from 1900-1920,  one third, 33% of immigrants repatriated.”

Would enforced repatriation be constitutional? There is no fact on the ground which cannot be made legal by constitutional imagination; the Supreme Court confirmed that fact when it legalized Same-Sex Marriage. 

Is it true that only a racist or bigot would advocate the repatriation of the entire Somali refugee population?

No.

Somali patriots are also calling for Somali refugees in America to be repatriated to Somalia.


The patriotic President of Somalia does not want his people working in Minnesota but at home, rebuilding.
“New Somali President to US Somalis: Come back to Africa and help rebuild “your country”…. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud called on Somalis living in Minnesota to help rebuild their war-torn homeland. He spoke mostly in Somali to the cheering, flag-waving crowd at the Minneapolis Convention Center….. he urged his audience to help by returning to Somalia…Refugee Resettlement Watch"

Patriotic Somalis who lived n Canada have already heeded the call.
“Captain Iman Elman, a 24-year-old officer in the Somali National Army, grew up in Canada but returned to Somalia to help rid the country of al-Shabab. “I knew I wanted to put an end to it and knew that meant I would have to deal with al-Shabab head-on. By joining the army, I’d actually be able to contribute and restore peace back to the country,” Elman said.
Elman’s fight has been even more difficult because she is a woman. The army captain described the initial surprise of others in the military and the community at seeing a young woman wearing pants — forbidden under the code of Sharia law imposed by al-Shabab. Initially, Elman was given two pairs of pants sewn together as a skirt to wear as a uniform.
“I definitely had to work twice as hard as my male colleagues to get where I am today,” she said. “Initially it was seen as very negative, as someone who was disrespecting my culture, my religion, but over time people started to embrace the idea of women wearing pants.” Prior to al-Shabab’s arrival in Somalia, Somali women often wore pants, Elman said. The radical group has tried to change not only Somali ideology but also the country’s culture, “making us believe it was our culture when it really wasn’t.”
In Somalia, Elman explained, women, who traditionally dominate the household, have been essential to the spread of al-Shabab, encouraging sons or other men in their households to execute attacks. For that reason, Elman said the role of women in expelling al-Shabab from their communities will be crucial. “It’s the ideology that we’re fighting, and therefore it is equal for men and for women. We’ve had a number of cases where women are playing huge, dominant roles, and that’s why I think women should be playing more of an active role in the security sector, because I’ve seen women taking on a huge role in fighting directly alongside al-Shabab,”…WOMEN IN THE WORLD SUMMIT.”
This Blogger does not think President Mohamud nor Captain Elman(picture below) are racists or  bigots for wanting their people to return to their homeland and rebuild.


"Kenya has vowed to send hundreds of thousands of Somalis back …..Kenya says it needs to close the sprawling Dadaab camp, home to 330,000 mostly Somali refugees, to protect the country’s security after a string of terror attacks by al-Shabaab.....the Kenyan interior minister, Joseph Nkaissery, said al-Shabaab fighters used the camp as a base…..

“The refugees will be repatriated to their countries of origin or to third-party countries for resettlement.” GUARDIAN UK.”

The Urination Of Nicole Kidman's Career

I went to see EYES WIDE SHUT in total awe of its Director, Stanley Kubrick, who had in his career Directed THE GREATEST Science Fiction/Cosmological film EVER- 2001, SPACE ODYSSEY, the BEST and MOST INSIGHTFUL film essay on American culture EVER- LOLITA, arguably the greatest war movie ever- PATHS OF GLORY, and one of the best film epics ever- SPARTACUS. Mr. Kubrick died SUDDENLY, before EYES WIDE SHUT was released. Everyone was so sad. Then I saw EYES WIDE SHUT, and understood exactly why Herr Director Kubrick had croaked so suddenly; he had willed himself to death before the release of the film, so that  he would not have to suffer the slings and shots against his declining genius. EYES WIDE SHUT is the WORST, laughably worst, porn film ever made, EVER. It starred that larger than life couple(at the time), Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. The key scene in the film was Ms. Kidman peeing. I was spending over $60.00(including tickets,parking and snacks for me and my date ) to watch

The Crash of Flight 447: Fate, Moliere and Veronique Gaignard

In 1954 there was the film, THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY about danger in the air; that was followed by the 1964 film, FATE IS THE HUNTER about a fatal airplane crash and the followup investigation; followed by the 1970 film, AIRPORT, about a bomber on a plane, starring every living star in Hollywood at the time; followed by  the sequels, AIRPORT 75, AIRPORT 77, AIRPORT 79- THE CONCORDE. All that melodramatic danger in the air was laughed to death by the films AIRPLANE in 1980, followed by AIRPLANE II in 1982. Everything in air flight had been covered, both the tragedy and the comedy  of air travel, until Air France Flight 447. Flight 447 was the Air France  Airbus Flight from Brazil to France, which,in 2009, crashed in the South Atlantic , killing all on board,228 passengers. Airbuses fly by wire, which means they fly by computers rather than the old mechanical ways.  Very up to date, except when something goes awry, then it seems it is very difficult to set right.

Roger Cohen's Russian Think Piece in NEW YORK TIMES Begs the Question: Was Gerry Maxey Right about Russia TEN YEARS AGO?

  This Blogger respects Russians; as Frederick the Great stated :” It takes two bullets to take a Russian soldier out; one to kill him and one to  stop him.” This Blogger   likes Russians; even though once, in Moscow, during the Soviet era, his incredibly attractive tour guide, aka KGB agent, told him and his brother   that they were in danger of being hit, fatally, by a Soviet car crossing a Moscow street. T his Blogger’s brother told her that he had ridden in a Soviet Car, the LADA; and that he could damn well survive any hit by that piece of junk. She laughed. That night, this Blogger’s brother slept in his room, under his bed, drunk. This Blogger admires the way Russians do business; when Soviet diplomats were kidnapped in Lebanon, the KGB paid the ransoms immediately, without complaint. Shortly thereafter, Beirut was flooded with Soviet agents and Soviet bribes; the kidnappers were identified. They were abducted, tortured and  castrated; their dead bodies strung from l
