By Kevin Barrett, VT Editor, with Martin Hill
My frequent radio guest Martin Hill (listen to Friday’s interview) has discovered another bombshell that blows the official story of the San Bernadino shooting to smithereens. In his new post Martin writes:
“Witness Sally Abdelmageed, who works at the Inland Regional Center and witnessed the shooting in San Bernardino, was interviewed live via telephone by CBS Evening News the day the massacre happened.
“The news anchor begins ‘She saw the attackers enter the building, and we spoke to her by phone.’
‘We saw three men dressed in military attire,’ she says. ‘I couldn’t see his face, he had a black hat on… black cargo pants on, the kind with zippers on the side… He had a huge assault rifle a lot of ammo…
She continues, ‘They opened up the door to building then he starts to, you know, shoot all over into the room – that’s the room we have conferences in…
‘I called 911 and I just hid under my desk..
‘As I was talking to the dispatch, we went into my manager’s office and locked the doors..’
‘Mrs. Abdelmageed, can you describe to me in as much details as you can what did the gunman look like?’ the CBS anchor asks.
‘I couldn’t see his face, he had a black hat on. All I could see was a black hat, black long-sleeved shirt… He had extra ammo. He was probably ready for something, to reload – I don’t know know…
‘I just saw three, dressed exactly the same. They looked like they were athletic build, and um, they appeared to be tall…’
‘You’re certain that you saw three men?’ the news anchor asks.
‘Yeah,’ she replies, as she continues to describe the THREE WHITE MEN, their muscular build, etc.
After she leaves the line, the anchor insists ‘and of course we’ve just learned that one of the suspects was actually a woman.'”

Now don’t get me wrong, folks. I’m a white man myself. And I am proud, not ashamed, of my Irish-Welsh-Scottish-German ancestry. But I’m sick of seeing paramilitary-type white guys committing massacres designed to be blamed on brown-skinned Muslims.
The same thing happened in Paris on November 13th. The shooters at La Belle Equipe restaurant were not brown-skinned Muslims; they were “white, clean shaven…They looked like soldiers or mercenaries and carried the whole thing out like a military operation.”
The killers in the Charlie Hebdo offices last January were also white men with blue eyes – which rules out the brown-skinned brown-eyed patsies, the Kouachi brothers.
Likewise, the killers of French soldiers in the 2012 shootings falsely blamed on Mohammed Merah had tattoos worn only by white-power extremists, and therefore were almost certainly white paramilitaries employed by Operation Gladio B. (For details, read the chapter on the Merah case by Dr. Laurent Guyénot in We Are NOT Charlie Hebdo: Free Thinkers Question the French 9/11.)
Western governments and their lapdog corporate media, by refusing to investigate, discover and report the truth about these cases, are pumping out racist, Islamophobic hate propaganda in a manner that would shame Dr. Goebbels. That is the point I made in my latest Press TV interview:
The US media characterizes a shooting attack as “terrorism” only when there is indication that the perpetrator might be a Muslim but refuses to use the word in other cases, American scholar Dr. Kevin Barrett says.
On Wednesday, Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 29, stormed a holiday party in San Bernardino, California, killing at least 14 people and injuring 21 in the deadliest mass shooting in the US in three years. Hours later, the couple died in a fire exchange with police. [According to dubious mainstream reports. -KB]
Only hours after news broke that suspects had Muslim names, American Muslims strongly condemned the incident, but this did not stop the US mainstream media from spewing hate and venom against Muslims and Islam.
Commenting to Press TV on Sunday, Dr. Barrett said, “We had another ‘mass shooting’ in the United States. This is nothing new; we had probably hundreds already in 2015.”
“But this one is getting worldwide headlines because the alleged perpetrators are supposedly ‘radical Muslims’, and that’s led to endless speculation among the media and politicians whether this is a case of ‘terrorism,’” he added.
“The word terrorism apparently means when anybody who is ostensibly Muslim conducts a shooting, and if anybody else does it’s not terrorism,” the editor of VT noted. “Well, the problem though is that as with so many other similar cases, it appears that the link between the allegedly Muslim perpetrators and terrorism may have been fabricated.”
Dr. Barrett said, “We have some huge questions being raised about what really happened in San Bernardino, and one of the people raising the questions is the lawyer of the family of the two alleged perpetrators.”
“This lawyer has questioned why the suspects were in handcuffs – they were dead in handcuffs. His name is David Chesley. And he should be commended. For once we have a lawyer for people who are being accused for this kind of crime who is actually standing up for his clients,” he added.
“And he has pointed out that the handcuffed bodies could be interpreted as evidence that the people were executed, which is what we have seen in many other similar cases where alleged terrorist suspects – who one would think would be captured and interrogated, you would think that they would stop at nothing to capture these people alive so that they can take down their alleged terror networks – and yet case after case, bin Laden’s supposed execution and throwing him in the ocean with no witnesses to all sorts of other cases where these terror suspects have just been hunted down and executed point-blank, the authorities really don’t act as if they are really trying to stop terrorism; instead they act like they are trying to silence patsies who know too much.
“And we have other indications that that’s what happened. The couple blamed for the San Bernardino shooting was apparently gunned down in cold blood in their car. The police claim that there was a gun battle initiated by the suspects, but the car windows were rolled up and then blown out. Nobody starts a gun battle by shooting through rolled-up car windows from inside of a car. It’s pretty much physically impossible, it wouldn’t work.
So it appears once again that these people may have just been gunned down and silenced.
“There are all sorts of other questions being raised about the shooting. The fact that the facility where the shooting happened, which is a handicapped facility – a very strange place for Muslims to attack! Why would radical Muslims be angry at handicapped people? I don’t know.”
